Frugal housewife at work

So what does a [reluctant] housewife who has given up her job and feeling the financial pinch do? Why, she looks for bargain websites and freebies all day long (well, almost!). Good news is that US is a land of coupons & discounts and you could really get a good deal on things if you do your homework. For the past few months here, I have accumulated a list of websites that could help me save a buck or two. Good stuff needs to be shared, so here they are:

Daily deals:
Groupon.com
Eversave.com
Livingsocial.com
Housewaredeals.com

Coupons:
Retailmenot.com

Deal aggregators: There are plenty of such sites online but these are the two sites I use
DealAgg.com
Thedealmap.com
 
Pricewatch: Let the website do the price tracking for you
Priceprotectr.com
 
Cashback: Nothing like saving a few extra dollars for everything you spend
Fatwallet
Ebates

Sometimes housewives need a break from cooking too:
Restaurant.com
idinedeals.com

Travel: This is not a discount website but it allows you to search for the cheapest flights minus all that online advertisements
Matrix

Designer stuff for less: Honestly, some of these stuff are beyond my budget but it's fun for window shopping anyway!
Ideeli.com
Ruelala.com
Swirl.com
Thesamplesale.com
Onekingslane.com

P.S. Let's not forget amazon.com and ebay.com as well.  Great for comparing prices and they do have some of the best deals online!
That's all I have for now! Do feel free to add on to the list so that we can all spend, save and be happy all at once! ;)

I do this too sometimes ! Spend hours ordering coupons and samples. I subscribe to mail lists for deals too.
