angelikaJ -> Favorite bargain websites (5/27/2012 6:05:05 PM)

I love Daedelus.

They have books, music and movies generally at good discount prices.

Very recently I joined another one of those daily deals websites and I am quite happy with it so far.
Every time you refer a friend and they buy for the first time (and spend $30 I think?), you get a $20.00 credit.
Tonight they are offering free shipping and they gave me another $10. credit yesterday for the holiday weekend.

I chose to get 300 thread count sheets for my queen sized bed and it cost me $5.00.
Shipping is generally $2.00/item.

Another place I have gotten fabulous deals is Sierra Trading Post.

Where do you like to shop?

I love Sierra Trading Post too.

I use Amazon for most everything to give me a base line price, often it's the best price and I also take advantage of free shipping over $25.

I've saved ton of money for text books through Amazon. Their new prices always beat my college book store and many times I will choose to buy used through one of the sellers that go through them to save even more. My first semester i needed 11 books, ugh, but i saved almost $200 by just ordering them through Amazon or a subsidiary seller. Of course that means you have to plan ahead to get the things in time but it worked out well for me. Put the ISBN number through a search engine and watch, Amazon will beat the lowest price about every time.

I signed up for emails from Bed Bath and Beyond and periodically get a 20% off online coupon that I promptly use for k-cups which have free shipping through them.

Most of my bargains are found at brick and mortar stores. I know where to find all the bargains around this city. The only time I order online is when it's something I can't just find in a brick and mortar store and I have no choice but to order online.

I have found the best bargains on amazon.com. I also like ltdcommodities.com for their holiday or seasonal stuff.

Ebay.....all the way.

Zippos is good too.Bought my $200 Ray-Bans for a hundred there.

And not for nothing....if one googles the item they want....you`re bound to find it cheaper from someone online.Make sure the shipping cost doesn`t make it a bad deal tho.



TNDommeK -> RE: Favorite bargain websites (5/28/2012 7:21:54 PM)

I am not a fan of Ebay, I love the site, but I seem to get My self in trouble with them. My bill goes sky high before I know it.
I would say Amazon.



poise -> RE: Favorite bargain websites (5/28/2012 8:35:56 PM)

My favorite is also Ebay and Amazon. I also do the googling that Owner mentioned,
as it's a great way to compare pricing all in one window.

Thanks for posting this Angelika. I've saved a few of those listed for further browsing.

E-bay.

I won't use Amazon since they have moved to Jersey to avoid paying taxes.

I use Amazon for many things and ebay less so, mostly for strange music related requests from my brother, who does not have a credit card.

I love iHerb for supplements and personal care products (they have other stuff as well, including great prices on high quality chocolate brands such as Chocolove.) Shipping is free when you spend $25 and faster as well as free when you purchase $40. Prices have consistently been 30% less than Whole Foods and less than at the retailers website, although the retailers tend to have better selection.

Use coupon code IBA153 for $5 off. http://www.iherb.com/

Now that I've discovered Stop & Shop's gas rewards program, I've been shopping there more. I take my brother, who does not have a car, shopping there and get his gas points too. I recently saved $0.60 per gallon [:)]



Karmastic -> RE: Favorite bargain websites (5/29/2012 11:22:28 AM)

i use Google shopping (under the More menu at top. it includes Amazon and i think most online retailers, and you can sort by price. it lets me baseline the best prices, and then drill in and shop from there.



ShaharThorne -> RE: Favorite bargain websites (5/29/2012 11:28:52 AM)

I get my books and yarn from ebay. I do have an account with Amazon but it depends what I want to buy.



MercTech -> RE: Favorite bargain websites (5/29/2012 6:39:12 PM)

for work clothing for men, good bargains at www.sportsmansguide.com ... great shoe prices and they stock wide widths too (Hey, I wear a 10 4E so anywhere that actually has a selection in my size will get my biz)




tj444 -> RE: Favorite bargain websites (5/30/2012 2:22:57 PM)

I am a book worm (but a very cute book worm [;)] ).. and when i find a book i want to buy (usually architecture and construction books) then i seem to always buy them used in good condition from half.com (which i think is owned by ebay now).. i try to reduce my shipping costs by finding other well priced books from the same seller whenever possible..

Not websites but I go to home depot and lowes to get 10% off my must have Fine Homebuilding, Dwell & other home improvement & design magazines.. they have 10% off their books also.. Some other stores have a discount on their mags (Joanne fabrics), walmart used to give a discount on mags but dont any more.. I just dont want to pay for a discount like you do with barnes and noble.. i stopped with B&N when they started limiting the coupons i could use on mags (since I dont buy books from them).. Some imported architecture mags that i tend to buy run as much as $25 each tho.. If i dont get mags on discount then i dont buy as many.. [&o]

other stuff i check ebay and decide if thats the best way to go or not..
