Money Saving Websites

I just got my April Real Simple this weekend - does anyone else subscribe or read that magazine? I relax just looking at the cover. The minimalist design, nice fonts...but this is not about how much I love that magazine.

It is however about how much I love what they wrote about - the 10 best money saving websites! We've talked about Restaurant.com and Gasbuddy.com on this site before, but here are some great suggestions!

*Freeshipping.org - free shipping codes for more than 2,000 stores

*Retailmenot.com - discount codes for 50,000 stores!

*Priceprotectr.com - register a new purchase at this website, and get an alerts if you're eligible for a refund if the price drops!

*Ecoupons.com - great site for online coupons, free samples and cashback opportunities

Definitely have to check those out! Other sites I love to save you money:


*Mint.com - okay, okay, I'm blue in the face from telling you about how much I love Mint. But not only does it track your budget (having a basic budget is step #1 in having a good relationship with your money) but it shows you other ways you could be saving money with credit cards, banking, insurance and more!

*Ebates.com - go through ebates.com to get cash back on purchases you make when shopping online! As if online shopping wasn't dangerous enough...

*Groupon.com - again, I have been talking about Groupon for 8 months now, but I still love it. It's a group purchasing site, meaning they have to sell a certain amount of groupons (say 75) and once they get 75 buyers, the deal is on! Among the muriad of things I've purchased from Groupon - a massage, two organic delivery service coupons, and a gift certificate for a restaurant. All for at least half off retail! Sign up for their daily emails!
Are there sites out there you frequent to save you some bucks? Leave a comment and let me know!

Paying You to Buy a Book?



You read that right! Would you be interested in someone paying you if you read a book that gave you ideas on how to save money? I found a great book called "10,001 Ways to Live Large on a Small Budget" written by the people at WiseBread. They have partnered with Ebates.com to give you a $15 rebate on their $10 book when you buy it on Amazon.com. Amazing, right? I should get it by the end of the week, and I'll give you a review when I get it.




What is Ebates? It's an online store that gives you cash back on purchases you make through them at some of your favorite online shopping sites, like Macy's, J. Crew, Nordstrom -they have over 1,000 stores. They mail you a check every month with the money you earn by buying things you would have purchased anyway. I signed up for it with the WiseBread promotion, and I'll let you know how that goes, too!


Anyone out there use Ebates or a site like it? Thoughts?
