In this current economy, it’s more important than ever to find amazing deals on products you are looking to buy. But for people like me, who don’t have time to run around bargain shopping and pricing at the mall, it’s much easier to hunt for promotions online. For example, this past weekend I was looking for two semi-rare comic books (I know, I am a nerd). At Borders, I found one of them, for around $20 with tax; the other was not in store, nor anywhere close nearby, and a bit expensive at $35. After searching online, I was able to purchase both books for $25!!

See, mom? Shopping online is a GOOD thing.

So here are some fantastic discount shopping websites that could help you find the products you need at prices you can afford.

SlickDeals has been around since 1999 and is well-regarded as one of the best places to find deals online. Since it’s a user-driven sharing site, all the deals and discounts are provided by people just like you! So you know they mean what they say if they are recommending a product or promotion. You can find amazing discounts on clothes and shoes, electronics, internet products, appliances, and more. The best part is that they really took the time to setup their website so you can find everything easily.

Also launched in 1999, FatWallet is one of my absolute favorite websites, because you can not only bargain hunt but also receive cash back for your purchases! FatWallet is partnered with some of the biggest and best in the world, like Buy.com, HP, Orbitz, and more. So even if you need to book travel reservations, there is likely a fantastic deal waiting for you—and maybe even some cash back in your pocket for your troubles. The minimum balance to receive a payout on your cash back is only $10, so it’s definitely a worthwhile opportunity.

Besides having the cutest name ever, Dealio is also an up-and-coming deal website, where you can shop or promote deals of every fashion. Whether you are looking for the latest Nordstrom or Target coupons or need something from the Home Depot or sephora, Dealio’s got you covered. You can search by product, store, or coupons and deals. I adore the layout and ease of this website, and as they expand and grow, I know they will become a great resource for all your online shopping needs!

What are your favorite deal and discount sites? We’d love to hear from you!
