Holiday Shoppers Save Money in Down Economy with Online Coupons at PricePickle.com

SIMI VALLEY, Calif., Nov 04, 2009 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- The economy may not be recovering yet, but families can still give memorable, high-quality gifts this holiday season. Thanks to PricePickle.com, the leading source for free coupons to online retailers, holiday shoppers this year are sticking with their favorite stores - and finding better deals than ever.

Ironically, the recession is partly responsible for the savings available at PricePickle.com. Large online retailers are feeling the impact of layoffs and dips in revenue just like the rest of the country, so they're issuing deep discounts in the form of online-only coupons to attract consumers for the upcoming shopping season without affecting revenues at their local bricks-and-mortar stores.

"There has never been a better time to shop online than this holiday season," stated PricePickle.com founder Keith Ramirez. "Retailers are hungry for consumers' business. The trend in recent years has been toward online shopping during the holidays, so that's where we're finding the discounts. It's the perfect opportunity for people to make the holidays affordable without sacrificing the quality of life to which they have grown accustomed." PricePickle.com is completely free to consumers. The site offers coupons and promotional offers to hundreds of top retailers, with savings of up to 75% off regular prices. Shoppers can find coupons by store name, category, exclusivity and even by expiration date.

Unlike some online coupon sources, PricePickle.com provides coupons to some of the most recognizable names. Among hundreds of offers, current coupons include: -- 20% off an entire Hot Topic order -- up to 50% off printers at HP.com -- five personal training sessions for $89 from 24-Hour Fitness -- free iPod engraving at the Apple Store -- $15 off an order of $100 or more at Macys.com -- 30% off select fine wines at Wine.com -- up to 50% off select Barbies and action figures at ToysRUs.com -- $400 off a hotel-plus-flight package at the Disneyland Resort hotels through Southwest Air "We encourage shoppers to keep coming back to PricePickle.com to take advantage of the coupons online retailers are adding every day," Ramirez said. "Online coupons have been one of the best-kept secrets of frugal shoppers. We're spreading the word about these great deals to let people know this holiday season can be every bit as bright as those in years past." PricePickle.com also offers free online coupons by e-mail through its newsletter, and shoppers can obtain up-to-the minute news on deals on the PricePickle.com blog.
