I have had Woot bookmarked for years, and have bought a few things, and almost bought many others(“I don’t need a Mark VII rechargeable electronic wonderdoodad, and technically there is no conceivable circumstance in which I would use one, but look at that price!”) And like any cool thing hundreds of other deal-a-day sites have popped up. Anybody have any particular favorites that have good deals? I simply don’t have the time to spend 3 seconds looking at something frivolously, I need the places with the real hook ups. Ah crap. it’s supposed to be Good not God. Stupid titles not being editable :smack: ---

I think mods can alter thread titles, if you beg nicely, but that particular typo makes the thread just _scream_ to be opened. 🙂 Nope, no idea about your actual question, though. Sorry. ---

For what it’s worth, you just reminded me to go to Woot for the first time in forever and I bought the deal. I’ve been looking for a nicely priced pod maker for a while. Om nom nom. ---

Don’t forget [http://1saleaday.com/](http://1saleaday.com/) - actually 5 deals in one day in different categories. They’re a little slow in shipping, but I have yet to be disappointed by the quality. ---

Well, there’s also [I Have To Have That](http://www.ihavetohavethat.com/index.php) and [Midnight Box](http://www.midnightbox.com/), but Woot is still the best. There are many deal-of-the-day aggregators out there, too. ---

REI’s outlet (follow the tab from [www.rei.com](http://www.rei.com)) has a deal of the day for camping outdoor gear that I am addicted to. ---

What area are you in? I signed up for [groupon.com](http://groupon.com) for the San Francisco area through a facebook ad and it looks like some good deals come through that and it looks like they are sprinkled across the US. ---

I frequently check the Top Deals at [FatWallet.com](http://www.fatwallet.com/top-deals/) [Giveawayoftheday.com](http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/) lets you download free, licensced software that changes daily. [Retailmenot.com](http://www.retailmenot.com/) is great for online coupons/codes. [Slickdeals.net](http://slickdeals.net/) is also pretty good. Fatwallet and Slickdeals have active forums with communities of people that scour the net and post their findings. ---

[Tanga.com](http://www.tanga.com) isn’t bad. They often have good board game deals, which is what I primarily watch for. ---

[http://www.thingfling.com/](http://www.thingfling.com/) Also, [http://www.dealhack.com/](http://www.dealhack.com/) Also note that Woot has a second (actually fourth, after Wine and Kids) site partnered with Yahoo. ---
