History
The Bargainist was founded in 2006 by Dejarik Media (now Zombie Corp.), an independent publisher of consumer blogs and online magazines.[1][2] The site originally focused on listing coupons and deals available on female-oriented products such as home furnishings and beauty and fashion products.[3] As the site grew, coverage was expanded to include all types of products, including electronics, automotive products, toys, and pet products.
The site quickly gained popularity and was named one of Time Magazine's "Top 10 Web sites of 2006."[4] The Bargainist is frequently cited in the media, and has come to be considered an influential coupon and deal blog in the blogosphere.[5][6][7] The site was acquired by Internet Brands in 2008 and operates in the company's Shopping category along with sites including Ben's Bargains, DealLocker, and UltimateCoupons.[8][9]

The blog is updated regularly throughout each day with new deals.
