    Websites gadget lovers should know about.

    If you don’t have good sales resistance these are probably not good websites to know about, or worse yet, visit! They often have really good buys, so good that I’ve bought stuff I don’t need. But it was such a good buy, I bought it and gave it away. Not much saving money in that, but it seems I’m not alone in not being able to resist a good deal. On all of them you can sign up to get daily emails with the “bargain of the day”, or sometimes you can follow them on Twitter!

     

    The Daily Deal on Ebay is my favorite. I like it best because the bargain price always includes standard shipping. There is nothing worse than thinking you’ve nailed a bargain on something for $10 to find out the shipping charge is another $10, or even more! But with the Daily Deal you must act fast. They’re serious; the bargain of the day is only available for 24 hours and then it goes back to its normal price.

    Woot is good too. Although shipping isn’t free, it’s always just $5 no matter how big or heavy the daily sale item is. Once you check out Woot you’ll discover they have other Woot divisions. Shirt.wootsells a different exclusively designed tee shirt every day of the week for $10. After 24 hours, if any shirts are left they go to $15. I've bought shirt there. And there's also wine.woot, which I haven't tried.

    Graveyard Mall advertises itself as the place “where high prices come to die…” I’ve found some nice stuff at Graveyard Mall like the coin counting jar for $9.99. Graveyard Mall charges various shipping fees, and unlike the other two websites above, Graveyard Malloften keeps the bargain of the day at the sale price until they’re sold out. If you like the coin counting jar just type it their search box to find out if they have any more left.
