Why Shop Online at All?
The more research I’m doing in this area the more I am discovering that a really smart and frugal shopper - like me - is not truly smart and frugal until shopping online and able to find the best deals and even freebies of whatever you are looking for. I had no idea there were so many shopping portals - similar to MyPowerMall - and yet most of them are far more simple, AND FREE.
On top of that, there are lots of sites that scour the internet for the very best deals or coupon codes on anything that can be sold online. There is really no excuse any more for paying full price, on most things.
So far I have signed up for BigCrumbs.com and though I felt a bit tricked when I couldn’t explore Ebates.com until I gave an email address, which signed me up, I am seeing that it offers some good deals too. I have not really shopped at these places yet, so I can’t give you a review in that sense, but if you would like to go have a look, do go ahead.
I have found some others that list sites that give away freebies, but I think I should research those some more.
