Straight Savin'!

Here's a list of the 11 Websites You Didn't Know Could Save You BIG Bucks.

A few of the gems:

Woot.com- Actually, Woot is pretty good. It's one of those 1-deal-per-day situations, but if you spend your day at a computer, or even start your day off checking one, it is really simple to just go to www.woot.com and check out the deal of the day. They have 4 sites all in one- Random, Kids, Shirts, and WINE. Haven't yet purchased anything, but if I was any more of a wino, I would be happy to receive a few bottles in the mail.

LivingSocial.com- I assume everyone has heard of Groupon.com, but there is also a Livingsocial.com and BuyWithMe.com. They give you a deal-per-day, or a until-we-sell-out, product or service. Lots of spa/hair treatments and gym memberships- we get it: our hair sucks, we're stressed, and we're out of shape. Oh, and poor. Great.

Gilt.com- Gilt Groupe is great, but there's a waiting list to get in. You get emails about awesome deals on high-end fashion every day around noon. Get on the waiting list- worth it.

The others are decent, and the travel and restaurant ones are kind of out of my league- Travel for me isn't exactly "Awesome! Turks for $800, sign me up!", and Restaurants require lots of red tape to get the right deal, aka "Spend $25 get a buy one get one free entree with the purchase of an appetizer"- and sometimes don't let you use them on alcohol!

They didn't mention dealspl.us, which is probably my favorite deals website to check every day. It has a deals section AND a coupon section- so don't do any online shopping without checking there first- even if you only save 30%. They include things like Woot.com and some of the other websites savings, so it's like a one-stop online shopping website. They also always have electronics and computers on sale, and there's usually a nice, huge, flatscreen for under $1000, so if you're in the market for any of those, check here first.

And for coupons, of course Wow-Coupons.com. Great for both online coups and printable coups.

OK- now get shopping!!
