coupons and Best Deals
all work and no play makes Jack a dull trapper. so let me take a few minutes out of the chapters and 
tell you about some personal trapping that can save you some money—coupon and best deal blogs. 
coupon  and  best  deal  blogs  are  just  like  what  they  sound  like.  They're  blogs  that  aggregate 
information on specials and pass it on to you as quickly as they can. What's in it for them? a lot 
of times they use afiliate links, so that when you go to a company's site from their sites and buy 
something, they get a little cut of the deal. occasionally the blog is actually a company that sells 
the product itself. 
What's the catch? The catch is that these are specials, and they expire, so you've got to keep on 
top of the sites if you want to ind the best deals. consider it fun practice for trapping. i don't 
want to get you or your credit card in trouble, but here are a few best deal sites you may want 
to know about: 
• 
Woot (woot.com/Blog/default.aspx) might be bad for your wallet—you've been warned! 
Woot is actually a company that sells things. every day it offers a super deal on one item. 
The offer lasts until the end of the day or until Woot runs out of the item. That's it. The 
items tend to be electronics and the write-ups describing them are a blast to read. 
• 
Slickdeals (slickdeals.net) doesn't go for the extensive descriptions and fun writings. instead 
it offers single-line descriptions of three or four deals a day from a variety of online stores. 
expired deals get a little red “expired” tag next to them. rss feeds are available. 
• 
Dealhack  (dealhack.com)  strikes  a  happy  medium  between  Woot  and  slickdeals  with  a 
little bit of commentary and several offers. at this writing, deals on the front page include 
everything from a cookware set and a large Lcd TV to a refurbished roomba and dVd sets. 
don't miss the rebate, coupons, and clearance sections either.
Looking at these pages is a little different from visiting regular shopping sites, but give them a try.
