Using the Web to Save, Save, Save!

Surely you all have some favorite websites that save you some cash! Can you share them with us???
I have a few to share:

www.mypoints.com This website allows you to click through emails that they send (this takes about 2 seconds) and accrue points. You can also do surveys, shop, and other things to get extra points. Points are then exchanged for all types of gift certificates. I have enough points in my account right now to exchange for about $500 in gift certificates to places like Bath and Body, a few of my favorite restaurants, Barnes and Noble, and tons more. I have already received several of the certificates, so I know for certain that this particular site does what it says. I'll be buying a LOT of Christmas gifts this year with help from this website!

www.feedthepig.org This site is basically a nicely-designed site with this blog in mind! It has all kinds of ways to help you save and restructure your budget and finances; helping you in our current economy and helping you to figure out how to pay down that debt!

www.ebay.com Well...of course! Before I buy (almost) anything, I check eBay first. Example: last week I got it into my head that I needed (wanted) an espresso maker. I went straight to eBay, found the one I wanted, brand new. I ultimately talked myself out of it, but this $400 machine went for less than $100! Ladies, I buy ALL of my basic makeup (foundation) on eBay. I know what I need and what shade I need, and I can almost always find it for half of what I pay in Paris. Plus it takes a trip to Paris to get it, so I save a LOT of money :). I also buy all of my perfume on eBay. Sure...I could get it at Dillard's, but I can save 30-40% minimum on eBay.

Do you have a favorite website that helps you save money? Share!!!
