Shop at Greater Good and Part of your purchase price will go to the charity of your choice. Amazon.com is one of their stores.

II Give has a unique idea. Every time you visit an advertiser, money is contributed to the charity of your choice AND if your buy stuff, them a percentage also goes to the charity. Books.com is one of iGive's stores.

The best of all the Goodwill donations won't be at the stores any more...it's here and you can do some good by shopping Goodwill first.

Shop for a car by using

www.edmunds.com	Microsoft's shows new and Used, Prices and Review, Insurance and Financing too. You can get a quote from a local dealer. Check out the surround video gallery. You can control the camera on the inside and the outside. Truly neat.
Car Wizard has info on new, used, insurance, credit
http://www.autoweb.com/	Visit manufacturer's web site(s) like Lincoln, Toyota, Lexus, Ford, Nissan... If the URL is not obvious, find it via search engines. Many have super cool effects.

Vacation

Plan a vacation. Select a specific location and date. Use search engines to find sites where you can get information of hotels, sightseeing available (or beaches or nightlife or..) and special events occurring when you intend to visit. Find out the airfare and flight schedules. I have had good luck with PreviewTravel and MSN Expedia.

Software

The cheapest I've found is provantage.com when you purchase academic prices (be sure to put academic in your search key when you reach the site.)
Beyond.com has some reviews as well as many specials. Also check out the UCC bookstore, they are supposed to give you good student rates.
