I borrowed Good Deals & Great Steals from the library. This is a little book produced by the editors of Good Housekeeping.The book is divided into two parts: How to be a smart shopper and Get a good deal.
Part one includes tips like using coupons, rebates, yard sales, and auctions to save money. Part two has tips for pretty much everything...hotels, gift giving, eating out, gardening, pets, and appliances to name only a few.
I enjoyed this book for the most part. I learned about some new websites to use to try to find good deals, like for hotels and making travel plans.
UPDATED: Masha asked about the website ideas. I have not used these, they are just book recommendations. Here are a few:
Trip Advisor--customer reviews of vacation spots, hotels, etc.
Gurney's Seed & Nursery--sells seeds and has a map to show plants that grow well in your zip code.
Down Home Outlet--a site with sheets, pillows, comforters.
Earth 911--a site about recycling.
Company C--site has coordinated rugs, pillows, textiles.
Bookins--swap books for just the shipping cost

"But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance." 2 Peter 3:8, 9

Are there website treasures you could share with us? I'm always looking for a bargain.
I don't know if my previous comment went through or not. If it did, just ignore this.

I tried the Seed link and it was an error page...
