    Just wondering if anyone is using some of the deal websites where they post the latest sale offers, Price mistakes, coupons that double stack ect..?
    I use www.fatwallet.com  and www.slickdeals.net I can honestly say I have saved thousands over regular prices and got some deals that most of people don't believe until I show them the the invoice. On the other hand I have found myself buying stuff I really didn't need because it was to good of a deal to pass up [​IMG]
    Anyone else have any they use?

    I've perused overstock.com and have found that their prices are out of line. The electronics I looked at were refurbished models and cost more than new models at best buy or walmart. 1800petmeds is another one that's a joke. We can get our frontline flea treatments for far less from our vet than what they want. That's where the tabbed web browser comes in handy for side by side comparisons. Shop smart! Shop S-mart!!

    These places don't sell stuff like Overstock.com does.
    These are forums that people post deals that they find on anything and everything...They are not stores.
    For example, Someone posted a message about an Canon T2i kit with extra 55-250mm for $799 about $350 less than the regular price....then after I bought the camera the same people posted a way to get another $50 back.
    Last night I bought a Playstation 3 and a $75 amazon gift card for $299...and so the PS3 is really only $224 with free shipping and no tax.

    Thanks for the info John! I love stalking websites like that to save money : ) I use Wicked Cool Deals and Groupon.com. I'm definitely going to scope out the sites you posted.
