The internet and shopping.  A match made in heaven. 

Yahoo! Shopping - Any given product can usually be found at MANY different sites on the internet - the trick is finding the best price!  My first stop is usually Yahoo! Shopping, which will search thousands of stores and allow you to sort the results based on price (among other things) to help you find the store with the cheapest prices.

Froogle - Google's answer to Yahoo! Shopping is usually my second stop after Yahoo!

PriceWatch.com - This is basically like Yahoo! shopping for computer parts.  If you have a specific computer part in mind, this site will help you find the absolute cheapest place to buy it!

Powell's Used Books - A great place to find used and out of print books.

ABE Books - Another great place to find used and out of print books.

Zappos.com - The best shoe store like... ever.  Ridiculously large selection, clear views of EVERY angle of the shoes, user reviews, and best of all, not only free shipping, but free RETURN shipping.  If your shoes don't fit or you just don't like them, print out a return label from their website and send it on back for free!
