What is Shopping-Bargains®?

Shopping-Bargains® was established in 1999 as a resource to help friends and family save money shopping online. Over the next two years we morphed into one of the early "coupon sites." During our first decade we won several awards and experienced great growth.

By about 2015 it became evident that there were a few very good coupon sites and many wannabe coupon sites. Shopping-Bargains® was good but not great - especially when compared to the likes of CouponCabin and other stellar cash back players like Ebates and Honey - and we didn't want to be a wannabe.

So, we decided to take our knowledge of online coupon codes, cash back sites, cash back credit cards, and more and share it for free. We retooled Shopping-Bargains® to focus on providing money-saving advice, curated lists of resources, and shopping tips.

The emphasis of the new Shopping-Bargains® is on 2 "cornerstone" articles and our blog. The articles are continually edited, updated, and expanded and cover shopping smarter and spending better. The blog mainly shares bargain opportunities and money-saving strategies.
