How to find great deals on the ‘net
Aug 1st, 2007 by Vinny
The good ‘ol web has tons of super cheap deals just waiting for a buyer. Here is a list of some great sites that track lists of bargains from many different stores.
- http://www.deals2buy.com – A great list of random tech and personal things.
- http://www.edealinfo.com – Listing site
- http://www.edeals2day.com – Listing site
- http://dealnews.com – This site is more of a highlight of what they think are great deals in certain categories
- http://www.fatwallet.com – This site tracks all kinds of discounts, alot of them are user submitted. They also have store ratings.
- http://www.slickdeals.net – A shorter list of a few nice deals per day
The first three sites are great at finding the amazingly cheap deals from computer vendors on laptops and tower PC’s.
So if your shopping for something particular, do a quick search on these sites to see if there is a discount somewhere. If that fails, check amazon.com and buy.com for a low price.
There are also alot of price tracking websites, they work well if you know exactly the item you are looking for, like a model number or name. Some of these are:
- http://www.pricegrabber.com
- http://www.mysimon.com
- http://www.bizrate.com
- http://www.pricewatch.com – More for technology items
In the next article I’ll shed some light on how to see if a store is trustworthy or not. A lot of the deals you will find might be on a site you have never heard of, so its best to check out the retailer and their ratings to make sure you are safe.
