Tell us about BeFrugal.com and how it can help Mommy’s Money Saving Madness readers save money.

BeFrugal.com is a free website created to help people save money on their shopping. It began in 2009 with the online coupons section and we constantly add new features like printable coupons, weekly ads, and cash back with a current average of 7% on more than 3000 stores such as Macy’s, Target, Amazon, Walmart, etc. We assist shoppers with resources for both their everyday transactions and their bigger financial decisions, with online calculators to help people with financial analysis for their largest purchases – home, cars, and travel.

Talk about how Cash Back works.

Cash Back is money earned when shopping online at your favorite stores through BeFrugal.com. The more you shop on BeFrugal.com, the more cash back you earn in your free account. You earn Cash Back when a purchase is made under your free BeFrugal.com member account with any of our 3000+ Cash Back merchants. Merchants paying Cash Back and the amount of Cash Back will be identified on BeFrugal.com. Note that Cash Back rates vary by store. Some stores offer different Cash Back rates for different products or product types. You can see the store’s Cash Back Terms found on each store page to check these rates. Offering the Cash Back incentive is another way for us to share in the savings with our community. Our priority is keeping shoppers happy while helping them save money.

When you see the money bag symbol you can earn Cash Back while using a coupon on the same transaction. This is a great way to save more money on your purchase.

Tell us about the types of coupons that are available free on your site.

We have coupons for 40,000+ stores. You can type a store name into the search box at the top of any page on BeFrugal.com to automatically find coupons for a store you want to save at. There are also printable coupons for groceries, retail and restaurants.

We are working with the stores to add new coupons and verify existing coupons to provide the best experience with the most savings.

We even offer coupon alerts, where shoppers can identify up to 10 stores they want to receive savings updates on. We email notifications when there are new savings opportunities at the stores they’ve selected.
