Websites For The Frugal?

fwc writes "Like most people, I like being able to get the most benefit out of my money. In pursuit of this, I use several websites which help stretch my dollar even more. For instance, I have found smarterliving.com which I consult for good travel-related deals. I also use slickdeals.net and fatwallet to make sure I don't miss those almost-too-good-to-be-true deals. When looking for the best price on a specific item, I usually consult Froogle, Pricewatch, and Shopper.com. I also use a collection of online stores which sell stuff dirt cheap, such as newegg, PC Surplus Online, and of course half.com. Recently, I was looking for some tools at Harbor Freight's Website and a friend suggested that I might want to also look at Homier's. I was pleasantly suprised to find that they have some prices which are even lower than at any other site which I have found. This makes me wonder what other sites are out there I haven't found yet which are in the same category." I know techbargains has "saved" me money on some things I might not otherwise have bought. Where have you been best led?

You should have met my father, I'd say he's far worse.

My father was one of those who when he'd buy a coupon book, he'd carefully note how much he saved to ensure he got his money's worth.

Here's one

Think that's bad?

Well, you know those soap chips that are left over when you're almost finished using a bar of soap? My father saves them, and then compresses them into a new bar of soap when he's saved up enough of them.

How's that for frugal/cheap?

suprnova.org is one

If you ever find yourself paying too much for copyrighted music, movies, games, etc. I hear there's lots of great deals going on at suprnova.org.

I'd say spoofee sometimes.

I once got 17 12packs of mountain dew from office depot for $30 thanks to spoofee. Good if you're in a dorm.

The UPS guy was not happy about delivering it, and asked me what it cost to ship. It was free.

Then my roommates and friends all found out and got the same deal. I think we burned through 2 or 3 UPS guys that year. :P

My dad's a frugal man and as a consequence doesn't care much about clothing. What sort of sucks is that it's spread to me and now I dress crappily to the horror of my mom. I don't care, though. Hell I'd run around naked if it weren't for silly laws.

On the internet

Looks great. If I ever need to find a new hard disk and a case of pampers in one go, I know where to find it.

Re:Tiger Direct

[jo42]

Have I got a Tiger Direct story...

They opened up a warehouse store locally a little while back. I was there one day poking around in the liquidation area and they had some boxes off to the side with returned machines in them. One was a 2.4GHz HT P4 system. So I asked the guy how much, since it had no price on it. After dragging it to the front of the store and asking the store manager, he said $625. Hmmmm, says I playing stoopid, another place has the same refurbished configuration for $425. Ok says he, it's yours for $450.

When I get it home, inside the box was a 3GHz HT P4 with 1GB of RAM, 120GB HD and a DVD-R drive. WOOHOO!!!
