teal-
I’ve found <a href=“http://www.pricegrabber.com%5B/url%5D”>www.pricegrabber.com</a> to give better prices than bizrate.
I also forgot to mention <a href=“http://www.kayak.com%5B/url%5D”>www.kayak.com</a> for good travel, hotel, auto renatal deals. And, before booking a hotel, read descriptions, opinions and recommendations of travelers at <a href=“http://www.tripadvisor.com%5B/url%5D”>www.tripadvisor.com</a>.

jym626 · May 17, 2005, 7:12am

Almost forgot two other excellent sites for travel deals- the best is <a href=“http://www.sidestep.com%5B/url%5D”>www.sidestep.com</a> (you have to download it). It’ll check multiple airlines sites simultaneously and pull up the best deals. I’ve also found sone good hotel and car deals on <a href=“http://www.hoteldiscount.com%5B/url%5D”>www.hoteldiscount.com</a>

These were featured in Readers’ Digest this month. I haven’t visited them, so I apologize for any inappropriate content.

SusieQ2007 · May 18, 2005, 12:18am

I think <a href=“http://www.priceline.com%5B/url%5D”>www.priceline.com</a> is better than a lot of hotel discount web site, but one must first read <a href=“http://www.biddingfortravel.com%5B/url%5D”>www.biddingfortravel.com</a> on how much to bid because I used to book for 3-4 stars hotel in Orange County for $23-28 per day. It has gone up a little but it’s not much more.

jym626 · May 18, 2005, 7:18am

Also, if you are interested in renting a condo or house on a vacation, check <a href=“http://www.vrbo.com%5B/url%5D”>www.vrbo.com</a> . <a href=“http://www.rent101.com%5B/url%5D”>www.rent101.com</a>, or <a href=“http://www.greatrentals.com%5B/url%5D”>www.greatrentals.com</a>. I have found some great deals. When you email the person to inquire about availability, they are often negotiable on the price.

TaraMom · May 19, 2005, 4:57pm

Borders has a 25% off one item, in-store coupon, good through 5/30.

pattykk · May 21, 2005, 10:30am

Be careful when you go on Zappos. You could be lost in cyberspace for hours looking at all those great shoes.

<a href=“http://www.silverjewelryclub.com/[/url]”>http://www.silverjewelryclub.com/</a>

I got this site from one of the bargain sites. Seems legitimate…I want to try.

It’s a site that sells jewelry (earrings, necklaces) free (but you have to pay $6 for shipping and handling…

jym626 · June 7, 2005, 9:25pm

The season’s over, but I forgot to mention the discount ski coupons at <a href=“Forbidden - Ski Vacation Deals and Discounts on Lodging, Lift Tickets, Ski Rentals”>Page not found - Ski Vacation Deals and Discounts on Lodging, Lift Tickets, Ski Rentals; they also usually have forums and you can get lots of pointers for where to get cheap lift tickets, rentals, etc. Also, for cheap printer,copier,toner/cartridge repoacements, use <a href=“http://www.123inkjets.com%5B/url%5D”>www.123inkjets.com</a>. Free shipping and cheap prices. Plus, there is ALWAYS a 15% off code if you go to any of the discount coupon websites. Current code is 2005MAY. Good until mid-June.

I also realized that in a lot of my earlier posts I didn’t put the full URL, so it doesn’t pop up in pretty blue as a link. I’ll repeat a few here:
<a href=“http://www.pricegrabber.com%5B/url%5D”>www.pricegrabber.com</a>
<a href=“http://www.bizrate.com%5B/url%5D”>www.bizrate.com</a> for good price comparisons. Similar to, but better, in my opinion, that <a href=“http://www.mysimon.com%5B/url%5D”>www.mysimon.com</a>

For used books:
<a href=“http://www.half.com%5B/url%5D”>www.half.com</a>
<a href=“http://www.amazon.com%5B/url%5D”>www.amazon.com</a>
<a href=“http://www.mbsdirect.com%5B/url%5D”>www.mbsdirect.com</a> will buy back a lot of books at good rates
and
<a href=“http://www.backtocollege.com%5B/url%5D”>www.backtocollege.com</a>

Mixed experience with:
<a href=“http://www.overstock.com%5B/url%5D”>www.overstock.com</a>. Cheap shipping but not always the best prices, and had mediocre customer service experience.

Had just the opposite (great customer service and extra discounts) from <a href=“http://www.ebags.com%5B/url%5D”>www.ebags.com</a> (I needed a fold-up compact collapsable luggage bag, but they have lots of other stuff)

Too many travel sites to repeat here (I like <a href=“http://www.sidestep.com%5B/url%5D”>www.sidestep.com</a>, <a href=“http://www.airgorilla.com%5B/url%5D”>www.airgorilla.com</a> or even <a href=“http://www.travelocity.com%5B/url%5D”>www.travelocity.com</a>, and then I go back to the airline website to book directly once I find what I want), but don’t forget to check <a href=“http://www.tripadvisor.com%5B/url%5D”>www.tripadvisor.com</a> for good tips.

Keep 'em comin! :D

EDIT
Almost forgot-- as all of you are college parents (or soon-to-be) don’t forget to sign up at <a href=“http://www.upromise.com%5B/url%5D”>www.upromise.com</a>. Free money. Really. Free.

jym626 · June 7, 2005, 10:41pm

Update–
I stand corrected. <a href=“http://www.zappos.com%5B/url%5D”>www.zappos.com</a> DOES carry high end, outrageously overpriced shoes (and other goodies) <a href=“The Style Room - Women | Zappos.com”>The Style Room - Women | Zappos.com;
If the DISCOUNT price for a pair of Giuseppe Zanotti (who??) shoes cost $865, what is the retail price??!!??

chocoholic · June 7, 2005, 11:33pm

anyone have a good site for laptop and other tech. bargains?

jym626 · June 7, 2005, 11:57pm

Someone above mentioned <a href=“http://www.bensbargains.com%5B/url%5D”>www.bensbargains.com</a>. My s. has had good and bad luck with <a href=“http://www.ecost.com%5B/url%5D”>www.ecost.com</a>. There’s also <a href=“http://www.gotapex.com%5B/url%5D”>www.gotapex.com</a> and <a href=“http://www.fatwallet.com%5B/url%5D”>www.fatwallet.com</a>. There is a store here, with several around the country that also ships. Its <a href=“http://www.microcenter.com%5B/url%5D”>www.microcenter.com</a>. Not only great deals but be sure to look ontheir site for rebates and other refund deals. You can really find great bargains. We’ve also had luck with specialoffers at Frys electronics. Their website is <a href=“http://www.outpost.com%5B/url%5D”>www.outpost.com</a>. there is one other but I can’t recall the name offhand. I’ll get back to you.

Oh-- be sure to price compare on <a href=“http://www.pricegrabber.com%5B/url%5D”>www.pricegrabber.com</a> or <a href=“http://www.bizrate.com%5B/url%5D”>www.bizrate.com</a>
EDIT Hey-- check out microcenter’s homepage right now for great deals on laptops.

jym626 · June 8, 2005, 12:15am

OK-- one more electronics site. I don’t know if their prices are all that great-- they are at least 10% off and free s&h of spending over $30. It is <a href=“http://www.patriotpc.us%5B/url%5D”>www.patriotpc.us</a>. You might have to be military affiliated to use it. Not sure. We still love Microcenter. Never, ever had a problem-- and great prices.

jym626 · June 9, 2005, 10:49pm

Hey chocoholic-
I assume you’ve already checked <a href=“http://www.techbargains.com%5B/url%5D”>www.techbargains.com</a> for deals, yes?

weenie · September 30, 2005, 9:15am

I just ordered my very-hard-fit son two pairs of dress shoes for orchestra. I bought a pair of size 14 3E Florsheims and a pair of size 13 3E Bostonians. The Bostonians fit him perfectly. Now I can just return the Florsheims for free.

Zappos is amazing. These shoes came in two days and no sales tax, free shippping, and free returns.

I’m so happy I didn’t have to run to a thousand stores. YAY!

jym626 · September 30, 2005, 9:37am

Hi weenie! Thanks for reviving this thread!
By the way, if you happen to have USAA or have a military connection, you can sign onto the Zappos sight through <a href=“http://www.centricmall.com%5B/url%5D”>www.centricmall.com</a> and get an ADDITIONAL 10% off the stuff at zappos.

My new favorite discount website is <a href=“http://www.edealsinfo.com%5B/url%5D”>www.edealsinfo.com</a> It has unbelievable deals on all sorts of stuff. Coupon links too. The only drawback is that they don’t update all the weekend deals that hit the stores, papers and online stores 'til the following Monday, so if you want to shop on line on the weekend, their info isn’t as current. However, its still a great site. Took a little while to learn to navigate all the spots on their site, but its well worth it.

One last tip: <a href=“http://www.Broadwaybox.com%5B/url%5D”>www.Broadwaybox.com</a> for discounts on tickets to shows (Broadway, off-broadway) in Manhattan. If you don’t want to wait in line at the TKTS place in Manhattan, you can get really good deals at this site. They have links to concerts, ballgames, etc as well. Very helpful all the way around.

archermom · September 30, 2005, 6:39pm

Try <a href=“http://www.joesnewbalanceoutlet.com%5B/url%5D”>www.joesnewbalanceoutlet.com</a> for deals on New Balance shoes. And Google for Eastbay discount codes and you will find a site for 20% off purchase price. I recently ordered a 2 pairs of Adidas Ile Nastase shoes for a little over $40! The 20% discount negated the shipping charge.
