The best way to save money when you shop online is by getting Cashback. There are a lot of sites which give you cash back when you purchase through their sites. These sites will use specific links so that they can earn money and hence would give you some portion of the money. Upon successful transaction, money will be credited into the respective accounts after two or three weeks. The percentage of money one will receive in the form of cashback varies for different sites. Some may offer more, while some may provide less. Hence, one should choose the site which gives more in the form of cashback. Some of the best sites which provide good cashback are Pogama and Cashkaro. All you need is to create an account in that site use the same site for purchasing online. Pogama is the one which gives you maximum cashback, out of all the sites I have used. Also, it gives you free 50 rupees bonus for sign up. In addition to that, Pogama will not charge you when you want to withdraw money.
Note : If you return/refund the product after your purchase, you will not get cashback.
Coupon codes
Online shopping sites will offer you discounts by applying coupons during the checkout. Many a times, the coupons are only used once, but occasionally, the e-commerce sites will give you a chance to enter more than once. Sites like coupondunia, couponraja will display coupons on their home page daily. If you want new coupons daily then you need to subscribe to their site so that the new coupons will get directed to your inbox.

There are a lot of mobile apps on Google play store using which you can earn free recharge by doing specific tasks provided on the apps.

These will not be online for a long time since they will be bought by the customers instantaneously. Some may even buy the same product from multiple accounts to get the benefit for the product.
