Everyone wants more for less. A quick Google search of the best coupon sites will yield hundreds of results, as well as carefully curated “best†listings, but the money savings go far beyond coupons. There has never been a better time to become a digital consumer.
Apps can automatically find coupons, refund cashback, and more. This list is more than just a series of coupon sites – it’s a list of websites, apps, and services that can help you save a huge amount of money. Let’s get started.
Best Refund Site: eBates ( Website )
You’ve probably heard of eBates before. It is a site / service that identifies online cashback transactions. With over 2,000 merchants to shop from, you can earn up to 40% revenue (or even higher on discounted days) for every purchase. This is an absolutely unheard of amount for a traditional salesperson.
The site is very easy to use: just log into your eBates account and navigate from the site to your retailer’s site before making a purchase. eBates will refund cashback for every purchase. You can even get cashback on purchases at major retailers like Amazon and eBay.
eBates automatically sends payments quarterly. You can send a check to your home, deposit money directly into your account, or simply send it to your Paypal account. Regardless of your choice, this is a great way to make some money from purchases that you would have made anyway.
Silver medalists:
While they are not as good as eBates, you can use services like Lemoney and Swagbucks. These services may work with retailers that are not supported by eBates. However, be careful with website security when entering your personal information – not all sites are legal or safe to use.
Best Coupon Site: Coupons.com (
Finding the best coupon site is tricky. There are many options on the internet, including fairly well-known sites like RetailMeNot and RedPlum (your Sunday newspaper coupon provider).
On the other hand, Coupons.com is the progenitor of all coupon sites and provides coupons for the items you intend to buy the most: groceries, toiletries, etc. There was a $ 220.87 savings available on the site at the time of writing, but this number changes every day as coupons are added and removed.
Coupons can be printed or saved digitally in the Coupons.com app. The app saves money and the environment. You’ll find coupons from major stores like Walmart and Target, as well as branded coupons for your favorite products.
Silver medalists:
We’ve already mentioned RetailMeNot and RedPlum, but you can also consider Savings.com and Slick Deals. The latter is based on a voting system, so the best coupons go up to the top – it’s an easy way to see at a glance which ones work for people.
Best site for stage discounts, concerts and sporting events: StubHub ( website )
Ticketmaster may be the most famous portal for buying tickets for just about any event you can imagine, but it’s far from the best option. This name belongs to StubHub. While prices vary by show, venue and date, they are generally lower than competing ticket retailers. This is supported by both extensive research and personal experience (the author of this article once bought Fallout Boy tickets on StubHub for $ 14 each).
StubHub detects your location and shows events in your area. You can sort by sports, concerts, theater and comedy, and even gift cards. If you like to rock live and cheer for your favorite band from the stands, check out StubHub. It’s worth it.
Second place:
We don’t have many great options for buying tickets online, but if anything comes close to StubHub in price, Goldstar is a good choice. On the site you can find tickets for local and community theaters, as well as for larger shows.
Best Browser Extension for Discount Promo Codes: Honey
Honey is one of the best ways to save money online. Why? Because it keeps a current database of current discounts and promo codes and applies them at checkout. The amount of money you can only save on pizza will amaze you, but even better, Honey works in Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Opera. Sorry Edge users. Honey is compatible with over 1000 different retailers.
There are several drawbacks to keep in mind. First, Honey is not always up to date and might try out-of-date code, but since the extension loops over every available code, it doesn’t really matter.
Second, it doesn’t always factor Amazon Prime into determining the best price, but this is offset by the fact that it shows if you can find a lower priced item elsewhere. (This link is not available to find because it depends on your browser. Just search for “Honey” in your extensions.)
Winners:
Camelizer has a funny name, but it works with the CamelCamelCamel website and tracks Amazon prices. You can set up an extension that will alert you when the price of a product falls below a certain price. You can also track price fluctuations over time.
Best for travel offers: TravelPirates ( website )
TravelPirates is a great site for finding deals on hotels, flights, car rentals and complete travel packages. I’ve always considered myself a lover of travel deals, but even my gimmicks don’t complement the often incredible travel deals that TravelPirates offers me.
Once a day (or more often), the application sends out notifications about any deals found. For example, today this is an offer for a round trip to Miami for $ 77 from various locations on the east coast.
You can browse current offers or search for flights, vacations, flights and hotels, just hotels or rental cars. Just enter the relevant information and TravelPirates will let you know if it found a deal or not. There is a web version and an application. Once you find a deal, click on it and you will be redirected to the respective booking channels.
Silver medalists:
If you are looking for cheap flights, download the Skyscanner app or visit the website. No other aggregator offers prices as low as Skyscanner with such reliability. It searches over 1,200 sites simultaneously to find the cheapest deals, and even offers a “research” feature where you can search for the cheapest possible flights nearby and go on an adventure on a whim.
Visit some of these sites and services the next time you need to shop. At least give eBates a shot – you’ll start making some money with every matching purchase, which is like a discount in itself. A little research before you click buy can save you hundreds, if not thousands of dollars over time.
