Discounts can include free shipping, percent off, deals for specific services such as flights to Las Vegas or clearance items, discounts for car rentals, for products on promotion and discount memberships and subscriptions. Web sites that offer shopping discount codes can sometimes also offer other sources of discounts such a printable coupons that you can use in local stores.
