Top 12 Coupon & Discount Websites - Because Paying Full Price is So 1999

I’m not sure about you, but I literally can’t remember the last time I paid full listed price for any products or services online.  Am I the world’s savviest shopper, able to find the latest and greatest deals by scrounging the web for hours, price matching every little purchase against an online retailer?

Oh, not at all my dear grasshopper.

Getting a quick discount or a cash rebate to your soon-to-be purchased Widget Extreme X can be done within minutes with these websites at your disposal:

1. FatWallet.com

Fatwallet.com, the home and gathering place for some of the savviest consumer on the web.  FatWallet is a coupon and cash-back site, where you can look for the latest deals and coupons for some of the top online retailers.  You can earn cash-back if you click through Fatwallet before visiting an online retail store, getting anywhere from 1% to 15% cash-back, depending on the site (in short, Fatwallet shares the sale commission with you, the user!).  Beyond the coupons and deals, there’s the Fatwallet messaging board, where the latest hot deals are being discussed: from free razor blades (hey its free) to $100 account opening bonuses for financial accounts (now we’re talking).

2. RetailMeNot.com

3.  Ebates.com

Like FatWallet, Ebates.com is a cash back website which allows you to accumulate cash back as you shop through Ebate’s portal.  Some of their cash back percentage for certain stores may be higher than other cash back website, so if you want to maximize your saving, you should sign up for Ebates.  Besides cash back, Ebates is also a great source for some of the latest coupons, if all the previous two sites fails to find what you’re looking for.

Super sweet.
