Wading through the garbage to find the deals!

Everyone wants the latest and greatest, it is just human nature. And as technology becomes more advanced Keeping up with the Jones’ of the new millennium is getting harder and harder for the average consumer. According to the US census bureau, for 2004 the average median house-hold income is $44,473. In reality, when you figure in mortgage/rent, daily expenses, etc you are not left with much for disposable income. And in an age where technology is advancing every day, we all find the need to want the next hot item. I know when the Nano came out I couldn’t wait to get my hands on one, and then a few short weeks later the video iPod came out and now I want that too. This is why I went to a few of my product guru’s here at Pure and got a couple of recommendations for getting the greatest deals on home-networking products. The first thing they recommended was to visit Price Watch and determine what the reasonable going-rate for the toys I want are. Then, they recommended to head over to BensBargains.net where you can find some great deals on the hottest gear, from routers to keyboards. What I really liked about this site is it takes care of price comparing and shopping around. It will tell you which retailer has the best discounts or the largest rebates and everything is pretty up to date. One frustration when by new gear for my home is finding a deal, then seeing that it expired a week ago. This is a great way to avoidthose hassles and now I don't have to wade through all the junk out there and can find the deals with ease.

I am a big fan of www.hot-deals.org and www.fatwallet.com. FatWallet has some great forums for finding this stuff out also.

The latest issue of SYNC says to "Go to smarter.com, a site that manages the largest database of coupon codes online..."

Also check out http://www.techbargains.com They'll post the best deals in retail (Staples, Best Buy, etc) and on the web. It's a great place to keep an eye out for Dell coupons.

I also like Netoon for finding deals. Make sure to check out the computers & software category under the 'Price Drops' tab.

Also, if you want a great deal, make sure to watch newspaper and web site ads AFTER you buy as well. A lot of stores like Staples, OfficeMax, BestBuy and more have price-matching policies where they'll match a lower price within so many days after you buy. Check each site for details, as policies differ between stores; some price match web sites, some only match prices at brick and mortar stores.
