Here are two coupons from BigStar.com who, like more Internet stores, have become more stingy with their deals.

These deal is for non-prescription drugs, or prescription drugs that are not insured. It's a good time to stock up on vitamins and such. Cold medicine is always good. Is it just me, or has Tylenol prices gone WAY up? Anyhow, this deal is said to be for AMEX card holders only. I'm not completely sure that you actually need to use your AMEX card to use this coupon. CVS

Get $10 off a purchase of $25 or more, but your purchases cannot be in the toy or book department. So it basically applies to videos, DVD's, music and video games. FAMILYWONDER

Not half bad. Their selection of free gifts (yes, you get a choice!) actually looks worthwhile. Take a look at their choices. PLANETRX

This is actually a pretty great deal since their clothes are pretty classy and expensive. This is a good way to save money on some great looking clothes. I love my Wool/Cashmere 3/4-length coat. It's very warm. Just use coupon code: BROLCARD to get the discount. BANANA

I'm putting this on because their current offer is free shipping with no minimum amount. This way you won't have to worry about spending more on shipping than on the actual item you are buying. Just use coupon code: at checkout. COOKING

• Update: Sorry, cooking.com just called.  Codes are a no-no.

Okay, this is a warm deal since you probably know this already, but you can save some money by preordering your movies. Express.com has pretty reasonable prices and a BUTTLOAD of selection. They also have a wide variety of Japanese Anime. So check out their list of available preorders.

• Preorder List
• Anime Store
• Bargain Basement

Why is it so good? Simply because of their free overnight delivery! Also, I'm in California, so there's no tax! That's one thing I love about Outpost.com - The price you see posted is the price you pay.

• DVD Store
• Games
• Electronics

Amazon is great, and here are some tips to even more money. Check out the outlet section often. They have some great deals. Here are your links.

• Outlet Store - Great deals here!
• 2001 Calendars - The year just begun and you can save up to 75% off some calendars!
• Greeting Cards - One of the reasons I conveniently forgot to send out holidays cards this year was because were SO expensive. They're dirt cheap now.
• Kitchen Outlet - I can tell I'm getting older when things like this excite me. *sigh*
• Lawn and Patio - Ditto.
• Game Outlet - I completely recommend Grim Fandango, System Shock 2, and Daikatana (kidding... just kidding)

They are having a pretty wild sale. Discounts are everywhere including toys, books, video games, and movies. Go and check them out!!! ETOYS

I believe they're running out as well.  They are having some problems with their website though.  It showed them gone the first few times I refreshed, then they were back.  There are 4 models right now, as I'm posting this.  One is $11.93, and the other three are $14.93 each.  DICKSSPORTINGGOODS

Considered by some to be John Carpenter's best work.  I've never seen it, unfortunately, so I cannot bestow my own review.  Then again, I'm pretty opinionated, so it might not help so much.  It's set to release on March 6th, 2001.  AMAZON
