Killer Deals

I have a few websites that I check almost everyday that I love because of the deals I can find there.
My first one is Woot.com.  There are 4 new deals every day that starts at 11 pm each night.  I found my sons Leap Frog "Star Wars" Didj with game for 29.99 last Christmas.  The trick to this site is that it is $5 shipping no matter the item, which is good for big things, not so good for small things.
Next is PinchingYourPennies.com.  I "like" them on Facebook so I don't have to check their site constantly for great deals because they are always posted to Facebook.  They let me know of the deal that buy.com was having on the new Harry Potter Lego Wii game ($32.99 + free shipping) which I jumped on because even Wal*mart had it for $49.99.  Awesome, eh?
Then if you want some GREAT deals on name brand shoes check out 6pm.com.  Some of their shoes are 75% to 85% off.  With school coming up that is the first place I go before heading to my local shoe store because I can often find good quality shoes for less even with shipping.
And lastly, for those who like to fix thing up/ redo/ reuse/ refurbish, whatever you want to call it you have GOT to go to publicsurplus.com.  It is where public schools "auction" off old items that they don't use anymore.  Most auctions start at $1 an item.  You just have to be sure to click on your region, and then be willing to go pick it up if you win the auction.  I got an overhead projector that I use to paint my "wall art" for just $2. Love it!!!  (so much cheaper than those sticky decals that start at $50, but that is for another post).  Right now in the Utah area were I am they have full wooden cabinets for $1.00! With a little love these could be turned into such great things.  I want them bad but they are too big for my mini van, but I'm sure they will find a good home. 
Awesome, Awesome, Awesome deals everywhere.  I will also put the links on my side bar for quick access, so go check them out and if you have any websites you like let me know because I am always on the look out for a great deal!

LOVE this! Thanks for sharing, I've been searching garage sales for an over-head projector to no avail. Thanks-hope I can find one now :)
