Judy's Book: What's on sale near you

What is Judy's Book?

Judy's Book is an online community where smart shoppers find and share the best deals, sales and coupons - both from online and local retailers.

What Can Be Found On Judy's Book:

  • The best shopping deals - both online and in your local area.
  • Cash back on everyday purchases and commissions on deals you share.
  • A welcoming community of expert shoppers like you.
  • Recent customer reviews of products, services and current deals.

How did it start?

Judy's Book was started by two friends, Andy and Chris. Andy's mother-in-law, Judy, was the inspiration for the site. Judy kept a "little green book" full of her local shopping tips and favorites, which she shared with family and friends to help them find the best of everything. Chris and Andy created Judy's Book to share her dedication to quality and value with shoppers everywhere - a place where friends and neighbors can find and share great shopping finds, both online and off.
