Meet The Frugals

Look up in the sky! It's a bird, it's a plane, it's a…Frugal Superhero! If you're not familiar with the price-busting, money-saving superhero team known as The Frugals, you've come to the right place. Their alliance -- forged out of a deep desire to save shoppers money at every turn -- gets stronger by the day.

Founded in 2009, each member of The Frugals is equipped with a website designed to cut costs for consumers. Coupon Sherpa leads the way with his himalayan haggling powers and a pack filled with a plethora of coupons and coupon codes. However, Coupon Sherpa can't do it all himself. He's backed in this alliance by fellow heroes Gift Card Granny, Mr. Free Stuff and Mrs. Sweepstakes.

Their accomplishments have been recognized across the land by respected media outlets such as The New York Times, TIME magazine and NBC's "Today" show. Check below to learn the story of some of the Frugals superheroes.

• Gift Card Granny
  Gift Card Granny may have a mild-mannered appearance, but when it comes to saving money on everyday purchases with discount gift cards, she springs into action.
  
  Drawing from a group of 10 reliable resellers, Granny has created a safe and easy way to buy and sell gift cards online. This marketplace can help you find gift cards discounted by as much as 50% off or sell gift cards for up to 90% of their value.

   

• Mr. Free Stuff
  Mr. Free Stuff doesn't settle for just saving money, he tirelessly combs cyberspace to find the best freebies out there. His collection features hundreds of no-cost deals with more being added every day. And never fear; you can rest assured all the offers are real.
  
  Mr. Free Stuff muscles out the pretenders who only want to take your information and flood your inbox. By searching for freebies, Mr. Free Stuff has also learned a lot about traveling. His "Free Things to Do In..." guides will help you navigate 17 major U.S. cities without having to pay a penny.

   

• Mrs. Sweepstakes
  Fed up with contests and sweepstakes that don't deliver and gather your personal details, Mrs. Sweepstakes decided to clean house. Kicking pretenders to the curb, she and her dedicated team of deal finders gather the best giveaways available online.
  
  They range from cars to cash prizes, and none of them cost anything to enter. At MrsSweepstakes.com, you'll find comprehensive listings with details about rules, how to enter and when the contests end.
