100 Amazing Websites for Saving Money
This page may contain links from our sponsors. Here’s how we make money.
There’s something very rewarding about saving money or getting a great deal on a product or service that you were going to buy anyway. If you’re looking to cut back on living expenses these types of easy wins can really add up… if you know where to find them.
Thankfully, there are a lot of websites that make it easy to save money in your everyday life. Some of the sites will allow you to earn cashback or rewards on purchases that you would be making anyway. Others can help you to find amazing discounts, lightly used products, swapping opportunities, or any number of other ways to save money.
I’ve spent a lot of time researching and compiling the best websites to help you save money. On this page I’m listing 100 awesome websites. Browse through the list and I’m sure you’ll find at least a few that you can start using today.

Of course, the key is to only use these sites for things that you would be buying or spending money on anyway. If you wind up buying a bunch of stuff just because it’s on sale, you won’t be any better off than you are now.
I’m not including coupon sites in this list because I have a separate page that covers the best coupon websites.

5. UPromise
UPromise offers a simple way to save for college. Become a member and earn cash back for things like shopping online, book travel plans, and eating at restaurants. Deposit your earnings into a 529 plan or GoalSaver account.
6. Amazon Subscribe and Save
Amazon.com is obviously well known for great prices and convenient shopping. One of the best ways to save is to use their Subscribe and Save program for consumable products that you buy on a regular basis. My wife starting buying diapers through Subscribe and Save and it is the best deal deal on diapers that we found anywhere.
7. Restaurant.com
At Restaurant.com you can get gift cards to restaurants for a fraction of the face value. For example, you might pay $10 for a gift card worth $25. You can search restaurants by city or zip code, and there is usually a pretty good selection available, although the deals do change from time-to-time. Sometimes they run promos that drive the prices even lower. I’ve used Restaurant.com many times. I’ve used it for restaurants in my local area as well as to buy gift cards before traveling to a certain town or city.
8. iDine
iDine offers a rewards program. You can create a free account and link it to your debit card or credit card. Whenever you eat at a restaurant participating in their program you’ll earn 5% or 10% cash back.

11. LivingSocial
LivingSocial is another major deal site, very similar to Groupon. You can find discounts on a wide variety of offers by local area.
12. Woot
Woot offers daily deals on a wide variety of products. Unlike Groopon and LivingSocial, Woot focuses only on products and does not include deals on services and entertainment.
13. Zulily
Zulily is a daily deals site that offers discounts on a ton of different products, mostly clothing and home goods.
14. Slickdeals
Slickdeals is a deal sharing site where users can submit deals. Other users can vote on the deals they like, and editors curate deals for the front page. You can find deals on a wide variety of products, entertainment, and travel.
15. Tanga
Tanga is another deal site with new deals being added every day.
16. TechBargains
TechBargains lists great deals available at various websites for computers, TVs, and other electronics. They also feature some other types of products as well, but there is a heavy focus on technology.
17. Savings.com
Savings.com lists deals and coupons for products and services in a lot of different categories. You can also search for local deals.
18. PriceJump
PriceJump is a really useful website (from Savings.com) that helps you to see if Amazon has the lowest price on product. Many of us are in the habit of buying from Amazon, but it’s not unusual to be able to find a better price somewhere else.
19. Amazon Warehouse Deals
An easy way to find great deals and discounts on Amazon is to simply go to the Amazon Warehouse Deals page.
Rent a Car from Your Neighbor
With peer-to-peer car sharing sites you can rent cars from people in your local area. You even have the option for hourly rentals when you just need a car for a short time. Want to get rid of the expense of your car but not sure what you’ll do in those situations when you need a car? These sites may be the answer.
23. AutoSlash
AutoSlash helps you to find the best car rental rates from major chains.
24. Zimride

25. GasBuddy
GasBuddy helps you to find the lowest gas prices in your area (or wherever you are traveling). There is a GasBuddy app that you can download to conveniently use on your mobile phone. They also have a program Pay with Gas Buddy that allows you to pay through GasBuddy and earn cash back. Currently that program is offering $0.30 per gallon cash back in the first 60 days, and $0.15 per gallon after that.
26. TrueCar
TrueCar helps you to find a great price on a new or used car in your area.
27. TravelPony
TravelPony is not as well known as some other travel booking websites, but from my experience you can find better deals at TravelPony. Next time you need a hotel room be sure to check TravelPony and you may find a great price.
28. Roomer
At Roomer you can get great deals on hotel rooms. People who have reservations that they cannot use can list them on Roomer and you can save a lot of money as a result. Of course, if you’re traveling to a major city you’ll have a better selection than in smaller cities and towns.
29. Travel Zoo
Travel Zoo is one of my favorite sites for finding travel deals. You can search or browse deals by category or destination, or you can sign up for their newsletter and get the best deals by email.
30. Kayak
Kayak allows you to search hundreds of travel sites at once to find the best prices.
Houses, Condos, and Rooms
One great way to save money when traveling is to rent from owners, rather than to stay at a hotel or resort. There are several different websites that allow owners to rent out their property. I won’t go into the details of each because the basic premise is the same with all of them. You can find budget options or luxury island homes, whatever you are looking for. If you have kids keeping the whole family in a single hotel room is often not very practical or even possible. Renting suites and larger units can get pretty expensive, so these types of sites can be great for finding apartments, condos, or even full houses that give you more space but still at an affordable price.
35. HomeExchange
Travel and family vacations can be very costly. Want to save some money on your own travel? Of course you do! With HomeExchange you can list your house or apartment, browse other listings, and exchange. Please note that to use the site you’ll need to pay for a membership (currently $150 for 12 months), so it will be ideal for people or families that travel at least a few times per year.
36. Couchsurfing
Want an even cheaper way to travel? At Couchsurfing you can find opportunities to stay with local people where you will be traveling. Although it is great for saving money, it’s also very much about the authentic experience of meeting and staying with locals.
37. GoSwap
GoSwap allows you to swap homes permanently. It may help you to save some of the typical costs associated with buying or selling.
38. Yapta
Yapta tracks pricing on your airline tickets and hotel rooms and notifies you if the price drops.
39. Blinq
At Blinq you can buy high-quality returned items. The retailer may not be able to resell the product because of damage to packaging or some other reason. You can find big savings but the selection is constantly changing based on what Blinq has in stock.
40. AwardWallet
AwardWallet keeps track of your rewards programs, like frequent flier miles and hotel rewards. By using AwardWallet it’s easier to stay on top of these programs and make sure that you are using the benefits that you earn.
Buy Discounted Gift Cards
An easy way to save money is to buy gift cards for less than the face value. There are several different sites offering discounted gift cards and I’m not going to include a separate description for each one because they mostly operate the same way (although Raise is my favorite because of the good selection and a one-year guarantee). At most of these sites you can also sell gift cards that you aren’t going to use.
46. PINCHme
PINCHme provides users with free samples in exchange for opinions on those products. It works like this – you create your account, choose samples that you want to receive, they send you the samples for free, then after you’ve tried the samples you’ll need to complete a short survey to share your opinions. It’s a greta way to try new products and to get free samples for things that you might buy anyway.

At Rehash you can swap clothes for free. List the clothes you’re willing to get rid of and exchange them to get clothes from other members.
