If you think you've sleuthed out the best money saving websites, we have a few new ones to add to your online bargain hunting.

These are all thanks to Consumer Reports ShopSmart.

First check out Frugaa.com. It'll help you skip to the best available coupons based on votes by users. And join Frugaa Rewards to earn points when you comment and share. Then redeem those points for gift cards at participating retailers.

If you find yourself losing lots of money returning things you've bought online, ReturnSaver.com could be for you. With a $49 annual membership you can make FREE returns all year long, BUT returns have to be made within the merchant's time limit. So, be sure to check before you ship anything back.

And here's a great way to MAKE some money if your flight has been delayed, overbooked, or canceled. AirHelp.com says you could be entitled to up to $800 for your trouble. Take just three minutes to send your flight details and AirHelp will file a claim with the airline FOR YOU and even go to court if necessary. The company keeps 25-percent of the payout but unsuccessful claims don't cost a dime.

RoomerTravel.com connects you with folks who are stuck with hotel rooms but can't cancel without paying a penalty. Roomer lets you buy those rooms at a discount, and handles all the legwork, including changing the name on the reservation and acting as the middleman for payment.
