As I was going through my normal routine this morning, I decided I might share a little of what I do every morning to try to find that impossible to pass up DEAL. The first thing I do when I get on my computer in the morning is look at my Deal Sites (links located on right).
I start with Woot - One Day, One Deal. This site, as the title states, has one deal everyday. They will add a new deal every midnight (Central Time, so 1AM Eastern). They only have a limited quantity so if they sell out, you have to wait until the next day to see a new deal. I worked with someone, the guy who showed me this site, who would wake up every morning at 1AM to check the site to see what the deal was. One big item they have is a “Bag of Crap” for $1 (shipping is $5 for everything). This bag can hold anything from a Graphics Card to maybe even a TV. I have never been up early enough to get this item, but my buddy at work got an $80 graphics card and a $50 200 GB hard-drive from the bag. They also have Woot-Offs where they sell items until they are sold out, and then they will sell another item. It is an great site. I got two Christmas presents from there this past December.
The next site I go to is Spoofee - Best Deals, Freebies, and Coupons Everyday! This site is a deal site that will show the best deals of the day. The site is very cool as it is mostly user-based, meaning that the people who view the site submit most of the deals. There is a Coupon section where you can find coupons from a bunch of different stores. An example is code -TENOFF stark raving mad movie - which will give you 10% off at GoDaddy.com. They also have a Freebie section where users submit how to obtain free stuff. I have obtained countless freebies from pens and calendars to a Swiffer Wet Jet starter kit. There is also a “What Deal Are You Looking For?” section where you can ask for whatever deal you would like.
The last place I go to is DealNews - How to Go Broke Saving Money. This site is a lot like Spoofee, but they are not user-based and do not have the Freebies or “What Deal Are You Asking For?” section. They do however have a lot more deals and coupons than Spoofee. I find most of my deals on this site, and I probably have made them a lot of money.
These are the sites that I check regularly. There are some other deal sites, but I find these are the best for what I am looking for.
You can also try boddit.com. I started using it a lot.
If you love deals and Woot, you need to check out Tanga.com as they have really cool one deal a day and fun puzzles to solve every day.
The two best sites for hot deals I know are the forums in Fatwallet.com and Slickdeals.net
I love deal-of-the-day sites too. I put up a site that has links to over 50 of them, so there might be some you haven’t heard of. The address is:

I hope you like it!
