Three fun, money-saving sites

October 25, 2010

KIDS' BOOK RENTALS

If you know a child who loves to read, there's a new website that can keep them in books for a lot less than buying new.

BookPig.com is a lot like Netflix, but with children's books instead of movies.

Until the end of October, you can sign up for monthly plans starting at $11.95 for five books a month and going up to $32.95 for 18 books.

You can pick titles yourself or enter the children's ages and reading levels and the site will make suggestions on books they might like.

The books get delivered in a fun box addressed directly to the child and there are no late fees. Once you send your books back, you'll get new ones.

TRAVEL FREEBIES

Most people have heard of Priceline as a site where you can find deals on hotels and airfares. But now, the site has added a new feature, Priceline freebies.

You can search for hotels near your destination that offer free breakfasts, free stays, free parking or free accomodations for kids.

There are also listings of incentives such as spa credits, golf credits or room upgrades.

Even if you don't choose to take advantage of these deals, you can always call the hotel where you are staying and see if they're willing to match the online offer.

DAILY DEALS

And here's a fun site where you can find all sorts of deals. It's called Woot.com.

Each day a different item is listed on the site at a deeply discounted price. Once that's item's sold out, that's it until the next day

.

You don't know how many units are available each day, so buyers are encouraged to snag items they like quickly.

In addition to the main site, you can check out similar deals on kidswoot.com, shirtwoot.com and winewoot.com.
