If you’re looking to take your frugal, money-saving ways into the 21st century, then these five websites can help you get beyond the coupons and into the real savings!
When it comes to online resources for saving money, most of us know all about Craigslist and Ebay. They are both great websites that offer buyers and sellers a quick and easy way to buy and sell products directly with a needy audience. As those two sites continue to be the main go-to’s for frugal types, four more sites have come onto the scene to provide additional means for making and saving cash.
Zilok.com – Zilok has quickly become the ‘Craigslist for renters.’ Whether you want to rent a power drill, a condo, or sports equipment, Zilkoe provides both renters and rentees a way to get the items without the high cost of purchasing it.
SweepstakesAdvantage.com – Claiming to be the largest directory of free-to-enter sweepstakes and contests, SweepstakesAdvantage gives those hopeful, wishful thinkers a way to up the possibilities of winning something!
Mint.com – Maybe the most popular of the four sites, Mint is the ideal site if you’re looking for an in depth view of the way you spend money. The dashboard is very user-friendly and provides you a way to categorize, budget, and get great insights on how you can reduce your budget and save money.
HeyItsFree.net – With my favorite name of all four, Heyitsfree is the one-stop resource for freebies around the Internet. They are all 100% free offers that offer a diverse selection of products. Whether you’re looking for cereal, shampoo, or mp3 credits, HIF is your place for free stuff!
As a frugalisto, I know that the most important factor in saving money is whether or not you actually need the product. Don’t use these sites to make purchases you normally wouldn’t; however, use them to increase the savings and learn from your spending habits!
