Who doesn't LOVE to save money?

One of the best-kept secrets on the web: Online stores have sales and specials all the time that not all customers are aware of! You might not know about these unadvertised coupons and discounts even if you have a store credit card, or are signed up to an account on the store's website.

There are several good websites available that keep track of current discounts and specials, and you should be checking these websites before you make an online purchase if you want the best deal you can get!

The sites I list here are free, and most allow you to personalize the service-- even having them regularly e-mail you specials and discounts from your list of favorite stores. Shop around and keep track with these tools, and never pay full price again!

This has been the luckiest search site for me lately.

RetailMeNot.com

Out with the old....

...or "I am so over Big Crumbs"

I am no longer recommending the BigCrumbs site. I used it for a couple years and never made more than a few cents a month.

I'm on to something bigger and better....

EBATES!

If you regularly shop online, you should be shopping through a site that will give you rebates for shopping at your favorite stores! In just the few months that I've been regularly using EBATES, I've already gotten more money back than I ever did in a couple years on Big Crumbs!

Once you sign up, don't forget to use it!

My hack: Delete your current bookmarks or favorite links to eBay, Old Navy, Target, etc. Replace them with links to the same stores through EBATES. That way you don't have to think about it-- you click on your usual bookmark, it shows you an EBATES page for about a second, then it takes you to your shopping destination through EBATES. You shop as usual, you end up with money back in your PayPal account. It really couldn't be easier!

Featured Fun Find: Couponlooker!

According to their site, "couponlooker.com is a unique search engine that pulls together all the best coupons on the web so that you'll never miss out on a deal again."

I haven't tested it much (as in, does it really grab coupons from all the coupon sites I know?) but give it a try for yourself!

Click the link, type the store you want to shop into the search box, and see what you come up with. (If I were really serious about finding a coupon for my purchase, I'd still check other sites below, just to be sure....)

The best coupon site for me is www.webclickons.com I find that they have the most updated coupons, the site design is beautiful and lets you find whatever store or item you want very easily. And they have great discounts too.
