Read This! Cracking Coupon Codes

To snare many of the new shipping deals, shoppers have to be in the know: They need to input the right "coupon code" when checking out online.

These codes are often delivered via email, advertised on the retailer's Web site or sent in the mail. For example, Nordstrom.com is giving free shipping on footwear to anybody who enters the code "SHOES." (The code expires on Oct. 26.)

But you need not be an insider to crack retailers' coupon codes. Dozens of sites post codes for various online offers, including SlickDeals.net, RetailMeNot.com, DealNews.com and FatWallet.com. Most of the sites even have their own Twitter feeds that deal-hungry consumers can follow.

I never buy anything online without looking for coupon codes. Lots of places even let you use multiple ones. I usually use RetailMeNot.

I can attest to this. We got really awesome prices for Sound of Music and Medieval Times last time we were in Toronto. I've not found anything around here that has good coupon codes, though.
