Optimize Your Web

Many times we go to a website and go to order something to see that promotion code or coupon code box staring us in the face.  Telling us there’s someway we could be saving money on this purchase.  Well there are a few sites that have good deals, coupons, FREE stuff, as well as Cash Back for your purchases. Here are some of the sites and their benefits:

FatWallet: This site has a lot of different things.  First off, make sure you register.  This gives you the ability to narrow your searches down better, as well as registers you for Cash Back purchases.  Make sure to read through the help to answer all your questions, so there won’t be an issue with your purchases and receiving cash back (but it’s pretty straight forward).  Second, under the forums link, there is a link to hot deals.  You can search these threads for things, sites, you are wanting a deal from.  The posts there are linked on how good or “hot” the deal is for the commentor.  Two threads I would suggest searching for is the Official Office Depot thread and the Official Staples thread.  Both of these threads having a feature where they are updated each day, and you can get great deals (I bought several $100 leather chairs for $7.50, as well as a desk for $6.00, all brand new).  They also have a portion of the site dedicated to free stuff.  I have signed up for a few things and received the items in the specified time (note: you may get signed up for junk mail, etc. if you sign up for these, so use a junk email to help yourself out).

Deals2Buy: This site is another good site with links for all sorts of things you can get on the web.  It has the items linked so you can see what exactly you are wanting and similar items to that.  It has coupons, as well as $0 deals, and a wide variety of Dell deals (I think Dell’s higher end computer lines are very good, and warranty service is a must).  So browse around and see if anything peeks your interest.

SlickDeals: This site is updated everyday (as are the others) but is much easier to navigate.  It has a basic design and not as much stuff to sift through (although not as many deals either).  Give this a try, and you’ll find some deal that makes it worthwhile.

Woot: This site is more of a random bargain site.  Many people watch woot constantly and stay up until midnight (server time, which is 12ET) because if there is a hot product, it can be sold out in minutes (and I mean literally like 5 minutes).  People will go nuts for a B.O.C. (bag of crap) in which they get a goodie bag full if random stuff that can sometimes contain a big screen TV.  A good idea is to setup your credit card on speed entry if you are constantly getting to their deals too late at midnight.  People also will be posting about the product with information about the sales and have websites with timers of their own, monitoring the speed and other statistics of the “Woot Off.”

If anyone has another other sites to add, let me know, or again, if you have any questions, contact me at the top of the page!

Good luck hunting!
