WOOT! there it is.

Have you ever checked out woot.com? It's seriously one of my favorite bargain sites E-V-E-R (and i'm not getting paid to say that, it's for real a HOT site). They have listed everything from digital cameras, to Dyson vacuums, and all at crazy low prices. PLUS, and a big plus, the writers are freakin' hilarious! Their descriptions will force a smile on your face no matter what the product, and are well worth the free entertainment alone.

Their concept is simple: Each and every day they offer just 1 (one) item up for sale, and at a super low price! So basically, it's like Christmas each and every work day :) And no matter what the item, big or small, lean or fat, shipping is a flat $5.00. How simpler can it get?

The pieces of "woot" are usually electronic to some degree (think flat screen tvs, memory cards, remote controlled cars/robots, vcrs, etc), but they've also been known to throw in the random pots and pans here and there. Oh, and let's not forget the three BEST woot days to watch out for:

1) The favorite: Random Bag of Woots! You never know what you're gonna get, but you DO know that they're only $1 a piece and full of surprises :) You must act fast for these, and scoop them up as SOON as you see them on your screen...they've been known to sell out in 2.4 mins.

2) The treat: "Woot offs!" If the stars line up perfectly and all is well in the world, you might be lucky enough to catch one of these. These events showcase not only 1 or 2 woots, but dozens & dozens until they are completely sold out of their inventory. One minute you can pick up a nice watch, and the next a set of fancy pants knives, each for only $5 shipping. These days are few and far between, but from my experience they fall on Fridays and towards the end of months.

3) The weekly: Two for Tuesdays! Plain and simple, 2 for the price of one on Tuesdays. These are cool as you can pick up one for yourself, and then another for a friend. Makes for awesome presents or random gifts of generosity...especially with the oddball items :)

So there you have it, the best bargain site online. They also feature a blog for fellow wooters to discuss and rant/rave about the products which also makes for some good entertainment. A word from the wise though, checking this daily is an efficient way to dispose of your extra income!

PS: Check out their sister sites as well:
shirt.woot.com - daily t-shirts for $10 + free shipping
wine.wo0t.com - a wine a day!
sellout.woot.com - combo deals w/ Yahoo!

Sorry (really sorry) for leaving this as a comment, but I couldn't find a link to your email.

I am blogging for The Miami Herald, writing about my attempts to shave 10% off my already slender budget.

I am a college graduate. I don't have ANY savings plans. I live off what I make.

My blog is called Heavy Thrifting; please check it out, it's my first.

I've asked the IT guys to add you to my "blogroll" so it should be up as soon as they get to it. Any reciprocal publicity would be a beautiful thing.

Thank you!
