From our provider:

Moms who believe in frugal shopping -- online and offline -- are more than familiar with eBay, Woot, Retail Me Not, and the like. Here are 12 lesser-known sites that do the hard work for you and pass on financially feasible deals on groceries, kid clothes, gear, and more.

1. Steal the deals
Baby Steals sells two baby or maternity items daily -- blankets to clothes, toys to diapers -- at 50-80 percent off the retail price until it's gone.

2. Multi-deal madness
For the frugalista who can only fathom deal-watching on one site, Mamabargains offers two to 10 deals a day on products geared toward parents and kiddos ages birth to 10.

3. Prefer swapping to shopping?
On the kids clothing swap site thredUP, savvy moms exchange boxes of outgrown kids clothing for a box of duds in the sizes they need.

4. Savings 101
Get insightful coupon-clipping tutorials at This Frugal Life and score freebies and discounts on everything from groceries to eating out, home décor to family activities.

5. Snatch up favorites
Input your shopping list and Shopping Nanny finds deals and add 'em to your grocery store's loyalty discount card. Note: There's an annual fee, though subscribers are guaranteed to save $500 yearly.

6. Delicious deals
Dealicious Finds offers national grocery store coupon matchups, online shopping deals, and video tutorials. "There's nothing better than watching my total fall from $207 to a mere $2.50 because I cut coupons and matched them with a good sale," says the site's deal diva, Jasmine Idley.

7. Save green by going green
Your Green Helper features cost-effective, eco-friendly deals, steals, tips, coupons, samples, and reviews on organic and all-natural items, from personal care to food, kid stuff to pet products.

8. Gracias Grocio
Comparison-shop and score coupons before hitting your area grocery store with Grocio. Sales widgets and email notices are a plus for tech-savvy mamas.

9. Moms saving moms
Moms Who Save lists coupon codes and deals, printable grocery coupons, freebies, and low-cost family activities. Visit their blog for reviews and giveaways.

10. No expense here
A national network of frugal bloggers share their knowledge of how to live inexpensively. Get deals on clothing, entertainment, groceries, dining, travel, and more.

11. Chipper coupon-clipper
Southern Savers dissects the art of sales cycles, add-on coupons, and organizational methods, while offering frugal menu plans, coupons, and alerts about freebies, samples, and in-store deals.

12. One-stop shop
