Talking What are your favorite, frugal and free online sites?

Just wondering, besides Wisebread of course, what are some other online sites that have tips and posts for frugal living or are free sites that you highly recommend.

What a great idea for a thread!

The Dollar Stretcher is a great resource.

I really like Thrifty Fun, but I just subscribe to their daily digest emails instead of sifting through the site.

I'm also a fan of Money Saving Expert, which is a wealth of frugal resources and personal finance geared towards those int he UK. Athough the layout of the site makes me to cry because it is so bad.

Simply thrifty is a really good blog. Deborah really writes about a lot of different topics, and keeps it pretty light-hearted for the most part, which is nice.

Default My favorite site

Hi I am new, and my favorite site is The Dollar Stretcher. I don't know if I am allowed to toot my own horn or not... but I do run a group on two different web sites... we learn from each other, about being frugal, and share recipes. Let me know if I am allowed to share it or not. I love going to different websites and get ideas and information... I have also changed the way I eat.. so I want to learn more frugal vegitarian diets.

While we don't encourage self promotion, it is ok to do it in this thread since it is done in the context of answering KMOM14's question.

You can also link to your groups in your signature or talk about them in the PYPS thread.

my favorite "deals" website - a place for finding actual deals - is fatwallet.com. As far as money blogs my favorites right now include freemoneyfinance.com, paidtwice.com and http://www.getrichslowly.org/blog/

www.slickdeals.net

I don't know I lived without it. Also I have a thread with the list of coupon sites I use, many of which have forums to help me find deals for stores weekly and matchup coupons with sales.
