Essential websites for the bargain hunter - slickdeals.net



As a bargain hunter who loves to find a great deal, I would like to review some of the websites that I have found to be very useful. http://www.slickdeals.net/ is a community of bargain hunters that post their best finds on the Internet. The site is well designed and easy to navigate.


On the http://www.slickdeals.net/ home page they list the price of the item, any applicable coupon codes, and what the shipping charges are. These great deals are in a long list (not put in categories) . When a deal is no longer available, they note that the deal has expired.


There is also a list of coupons codes that you can use when you are making a purchase at stores on the Internet. You can search the coupons alphabetically by the store name, by whether they are new or expiring, or by subject (apparel, technology, or others).


There are also forums to read on a whole host of subjects relating to getting deals (ie. coupons, freebies, rebates), a blog, and a whole list of tools.


The tools they currently have listed are slickdeals mobile, Amazon fillers, credit card deals, price lookup, global search, store ratings, and product reviews. Slickdeals Mobile allows you to get alerts that are formatted for your cell phone. Amazon fillers is great because Amazon often offers free shipping if you spend a certain dollar amount. These fillers help you find something the amount you need to get that free shipping. They also have an extensive list of credit cards with rewards...but I personally don't use or promote credit cards. The price listing allows you to enter the product you are looking for and it will give you the price from various online merchants. The global search...There is also a list of Store ratings. Before buying from a retailer, you can see what others have experienced when they worked with them. There is also a whole section of product reviews, so when you are considering a purchase, you can read reviews from others who have purchased that exact item.
