Popular deal sites – December 2009

This is December 2009 revision of the Popular Deal Sites list. You can find the last month revision of the list here.

The change in rating shows the difference compared to November results and includes all deal sites from my database that meet Alexa Rank < 100,000 requirement. A total of 43 sites have made it this month which is the same number as the last month

The average deal site gained 4.11% in Alexa rank this month with couponalbum.com (17.06%) leading the pack. The top loser this month is mrcheapstuff.com (-7.78%) however there were a couple more websites that didn’t fare much better. Also, dealplumber.com is finally off the list after a series of sharp monthly drops. In addition, I removed coupons.com and moved it to the other list – they seem to list only coupons. Please enjoy the complete list below.

Amazon Coupon Codes for January 2010

The Amazon elves that bring us coupons each month have probably been asleep lately. The company just released a new set of grocery coupon codes however it is not nearly as plentiful as in the past months. Nevertheless I will post them as usual in a list sorted by amount so it is more convenient to pick those with the best value. All coupons below expire January 31, 2010.

The discount in parenthesis is what you will get if you use Amazon Subscribe & Save program. If you like these Amazon coupons, I also recommend you to check out these Amazon discount codes. The best part is that these codes don’t have an expiration date!
