As gas prices rise, the appeal of online shopping grows. There's no driving to the mall, no driving from one store to another to compare prices -- all it takes is a computer, a credit card, and a few clicks of the mouse. There's just one drawback -- the shipping costs.

Think about it -- how often have you found a great deal (or just a great item) online, and gone through the checkout only to find that you're being charged $10 or so for shipping? For that amount, you could drive to the local branch of a store and buy it in person. So what's a savvy shopper to do?

Check out FreeShipping.org, of course! You can shop by brand or category through over 800 name-brand stores to find free shipping coupons. That means you can get free shipping from JCPenney, Macy's, Target, Nordstrom, Bloomingdale's, Best Buy, and many more. So, no matter what you're shopping for, you're likely to find a way to get it shipped to you for free!

I would have to agree with the above. With the price of gas I started shopping online. And yes, free shipping is important, but so are other things such overall price, the site's purpose, WIIFY, etc... What I found is that the choice is vast! After a few months of experience, I find that choosing a site with a purpose is the best way to go. For example, the best site I found was http://www.goodwillmall.com (online shopping based on donations). They are focused on security (very evident with https 128 bits encryption certificate and hacker proof) and their terms and conditions are straight forward. Never had a problem! Plus, a portion of all purchases you make goes towards any of your charities (up to five). Win win for all!
