    The irony of being a regular deal site surfer is you dont save money because you end up buying so much stuff that you spend more money than if you had not visited :D

    Deal-hunting is more of a lifestyle than a singular act, if that makes sense.

    I mean, big deal, you saved 10% on a a $80 hard drive. Whoop-dee-doo. But if you continue to hunt for deals, those percentages start to add up. And in the end, yeah, it can make a difference.

    As for the deals I check, it's usually the Newegg fliers that get emailed to me. And whatever Cin posts.

    fawallet, slickdeals. You can set up alerts at both sites so you will get emailed for deals.

    I'm looking at home theater projectors so I have projectors as keyword in my alerts and have them set to instantly send an email when someone posts a projector deal.

    I get tons emails from deals sites such as Newegg, which is fine. I mostly look for deals when I need something.

    I use slickdeals and fatwallet everyday. It seems like slickdeals is a larger community so I see a lot more posts there ( good and bad) but I've been able to score some real sweet deals from both. Last month I got a $600 snow blower from sears for like $270 after tax!
