You've probably heard of the big ones: E-bay, Freecycle, Craigslist, Overstock for getting online sales and deals but have you heard of these?

1. Go-Optic and Frames Direct for tons of discount designer eyewear frames. Most opticians let you bring in your own frames to fill with prescription lens and get adjusted.

2. CityPass for half-price admissions to museums and valuable insider tips on the best attractions the big cities have to offer.
