Top 10 ways to save money while shopping online. Get the best deals.
Update: added "the Find"
This is our always up-to-date guide of what browser add-ons we use to save while shopping online.
I personally prefer Chrome at the moment, so I installed all of these Plugins on my Firefox Browser installation. When I want to buy something I switch browsers. You could install all of them on your main browser too. After a while you will only keep your favorite ones.

Top 8 - just wait
Register with the online shop and put everything you want to buy into your cart, and then - don't buy it!
You have a very good chance that you get a special offer on your cart the next day or two.
Its a very common problem for online merchants, that customers do everything as planned, and then suddenly at the end abort everything. They try to get you making the sale with a special Offer.
Top 7 - Hardware - upgrade yourself
Especially when you buy hardware, consider upgrading it yourself.
e.g. I bought an Apple Mac mini with the lowest amount of Ram. Then I searched online for an memory upgrade. The Mac mini costs 629€ with 4GB. The Upgrade for 16GB Ram from Apple was +300€
I bought the kit myself for 100€ (Link) and upgraded it myself. You will find all manuals for such projects on iFixit. (Link)
Top 6 - Hardware - buy used or refurbished hardware
There are a lot of sellers on eBay who sell used or refurbished hardware. They usually give also warranty.
e.g. The above mentioned Mac mini - was there with warranty for 499€
Top 5 - Software - use Sales

Top 4 - Avoid Shipping fees
Many stores offer free shipping if you spend a certain amount
I make a list of what I want to buy which is under this amount, after some time, you will have more items you want from the same shop. Then its free shipping time.
Top 3 - Return Policy
Knowing a retailer’s return policy can help you save money if you’re not satisfied with an item.
