Find a Deal Online with BradsDeals.com and Other Coupon Sites

Amy Cox
Bargain shoppers are constantly comparing deals online. BradsDeals, a website that compiles coupons for shoppers to use, has over 2000 coupons waiting that can be used at any given time. There are no limits to what one can find on BradsDeals. The site hosts coupons for all different kinds of merchandise, from electronics to clothing. Also, it is updated on a daily basis personally by the site's owner. BradsDeals is easy to navigate, and its fun to browse to see what kind of deals you might find.

While BradsDeals is a great site to find coupons, it does not own the market of online coupon sites. Fatwallet.com is another online coupon site that consumers frequent for deals. The gimmick of this site is that shoppers can get cash back deposited into a paypal account for purchases made. The cash back incentive works for multiple retailers, as long as the consumer uses the Fat Wallet website to buy the goods. The cash back amounts differ from retailer to retailer, and one has to click on the different retailer logos in order to find out what cash back amount will be given for that site. Not only does Fat Wallet offer cash back, it also offers a wide variety of coupons. While BradsDeals is handpicked, Fat Wallet relies on a variety of people to compile its list of offers. Both sites offer similar deals, but Fat Wallet has the edge due to the cash back feature.

The Coupon Cabin is another site that consumers use when looking for coupons online. While The Coupon Cabin does offer quite a few coupons, it does not have the same variety as Fat Wallet or BradsDeals. The Coupon Cabin is more difficult to navigate. When I tried to find coupons that pertained to me, I was bogged down by useless savings that did not fit my needs. Most bargain shoppers are not interested in finding a $20 savings if they have to spend $350 to get it. That's not really the point of coupons and thrifty shopping.

Deal Catcher has wonderful bargains. Some of the deals did not require coupons. You simply have to click on the bargain, such as 80% off of clothing at Sears, and you are directed to a place where you can buy the item. It is incredibly easy to navigate and offers great deals from major retailers. Using the Deal Catcher website is similar to looking through the ads for Black Friday. There were many things on the site that I wanted and couldn't believe they were available for such a great price. Still, even with all of the great deals, I found BradsDeals to be even more comprehensive. While both sites would be useful in finding great deals, I would choose BradsDeals over Deal Catcher.

Another site for online coupons is Coupon Album. While Coupon Album does offer great deals, the items did not pop off the page to me like they did on BradsDeals or Fat Wallet. On BradsDeals and Fat Wallet, I was immediately drawn in and reaching for my credit card before I even started clicking on the individual pages. On Coupon Album, I found that I really had to dig around to find exciting deals. A lot of the coupons were generic. There were a lot of 10% off coupons. I had to look too hard to find exciting deals that made me want to spend my money. A ten percent discount is not enough to make me want to spend my money online, as I am going to have to pay for shipping, as well.

Fat Wallet is definitely the best competitor of BradsDeals. While BradsDeals is getting most of the attention right now, I think that will change as more and more people start taking advantage of the cash back that Fat Wallet offers. Fat Wallet gives the consumer the best of both worlds. Not only do you get to find great deals, but you actually get to have some of your money back via the cash back incentive. I have yet to find an online site that is able to beat that.

    I typically use Fatwallet for cash back, but another site for cash back is Wikidealz.com . They just launched a new cash back program -- so they have limited stores, but the ones they do have are some of the highest rates around.
