Shop these sites and save.

Online shopping seems to be here to stay. Each holiday season, the current year’s numbers exceed the last by leaps and bounds. One of the reasons everyone’s jumping on the online shopping bandwagon is convenience. Sites like Amazon and Jet make it easy to have your household staples delivered to your door, even on a schedule. If you’ve been making purchases from your browser for years, you know what to do. But if the significant savings you see at the sites we’re sharing with you inspires you to buy online for the first time, take just a minute. These tips from McAfee and the National Cyber Security Alliance will help you protect your personal information as you become an online consumer.

Savings Sites You Won’t Want to Keep Secret

Don’t worry — you don’t have to keep these to yourself. There’s plenty of online savings to go around. These 3 sites are well-established and aren’t likely to fade away any time soon. So feel free to share your savings stories with your friends and neighbors. We’re not affiliated with any of these sites — we just think they’re awesome!

Woot!

Woot! got started by offering just deeply discounted deal every day. Today it’s become a significant shopping site offering 10 different categories of products.

Keep in mind…

• Woot! doesn’t accept returns — unless your merchandise is damaged or defective.
• $5 Flat-Rate Shipping for your whole cart, all the time, no matter what you buy.
• Great deals sell out fast. If you see something you want, don’t wait.

Entertainment

Entertainment offers amazing deals in your local area. You buy a membership online, then save at brick-and-mortar locations. When you order the coupon book, you’ll receive an actual, physical book packed with coupons for local restaurants, retailers, and services. The app and digital membership let you cut out all that paper.

Things to know:

• You can browse local savings before you buy. Make sure you’ll actually use the coupons.
• Books are valid for one calendar year, so buy early. The entire book expires December 31^st.
• Physical coupon books are likely to sell out – another reason to buy in January.

Steep & Cheap

Are you a hiker, camper, or sporting enthusiast? If so, keep an eye on Steep & Cheap, The Clymb, and Sierra Trading Post (in that order). These sites are amazing sources for high-quality, brand-name gifts.

Things to know:

• There’s always a very limited “Current Steal,” and it’s usually a deep discount.
• They offer the option to delay and combine shipping in case you buy more stuff in a few days.
• Returns are accepted, as long as merchandise is returned unused.
