Travel-booking site
Kayak.com scours hundreds of sources for the lowest prices in travel.
Bonus features: You can add bag costs to the fares on your search-results page, and you can view all flight destinations within a price range.
Vacation-rental site
Stay in a vacation rental and get more space and amenities than a hotel room provides for about the same cost. HomeAway.com offers the biggest selection of rental lodgings -- more than 230,000 properties.
Best site to score game and concert tickets
Avoid the shady scalpers with RazorGator.com. The site provides a platform for ticket sellers to connect with buyers, and it houses a massive selection of hard-to-find concert and sports tickets. The “Gator Guarantee” promises that tickets will always be on time, refunded for a canceled event, and replaced or reimbursed if lost in the mail. The service charge, or “connection fee,”is about 18%, which is typical, and shipping runs $17 to $20 extra. Keep in mind that 60% of visitors to ticket-resale sites pay more than face value. To maximize savings, stay flexible on seat location.

FramesDirect has a massive selection of designer frames, from Gucci to Dolce & Gabbana, as well as bargain brands. You can upload a headshot and "try on" styles in a virtual dressing room.
