What Frugal/Cheap/Old Style websites do you visit

calleyw

Here is a couple apart from MSE that I visit.

http://www.fool.co.uk/ -LBYM forum. I don't post often but do pick ideas up

http://frugalliving.about.com/index.htm?terms=frugal -US website but rather like here where people chat. Click on forum on the Left hand side near the bottom of the page.

I visit the above daily.

This one I visit about once a week.

http://www.savingadvice.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=3 -Again a US site.

So what websites are on your list on must visit.

Yours

I use [URL=http://]www.fixtureferret.co.uk[/URL] which lists all the bogofs and special offers in all of the major stores; [URL=http://]www.vouchercodes.com[/URL] which gives you vouchers for all kinds of money off and extra points and so on and my favourite is [URL=http://]www.pigsback.co.uk[/URL] which is a fantastic site where you get piggy points when you spend at loads of places online (all major retailers not weird sites) and then you can redeem your piggypoints for vouchers for same stores. I regularly get free CDs and DVDs from CDwow with my points. There is a thread all about pigsback somewhere but I don't know how to post a link to it.

Thanks everyone. This thread has been a great help. I have recently had problems with my PC and unfortunately lost many of my bookmarks - including precious ones similar to the ones listed above. Now if anyone knows the address of a site which compares wine prices. I think it is called bargain booze or something similar.

https://www.bobsfreestuff.co.uk is a good one

I visit http://www.savingadvice.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=3 too.
I've been trying to complete registration on one called frugal genius a uk site that looks quite good but won't let you in without registering, which is fine but they've left me waiting for approval for a few days.

Not sure if this is what you're after, but I find www.acaseofwine.com and www.acaseofbubbly.com very useful if you're trying to source good-value cases of wine.

Other sites? Pah! I spend enough time on MSE as it is

I like http://www.stretcher.com/index.cfm but you have to wade through a lot of Americanisim. The articles can be pretty good but they must have a limited number of contributers as they repeat a lot of the articles time and again.

I had this same problem with this site, but the founder is a regular poster on this site, HOLsale - if you pm her, I'm sure she'll do what she did for me and send you an invite which bypasses the approval thing. It's a yahoo problem, I believe - she doesn't get an alert that there are people awaiting approval.
