Most of us love a bargain – but the problem is finding the time to seek them out.
I usually check out a few bargain sites at the beginning of each day to take a look at what is available. For me, this involves mostly computer equipment, electronics, hardware, etc. But I have also found some other super “deals” as well.
Something I do (and you may consider too) is to make a list of the equipment you are looking for and post it near your computer. Mine has items like: external hard drives, new camcorder, and a new keyboard among others.
For example, I just picked up a nice Plantronics Bluetooth Headset for only $24.99 AND free shipping. The same item goes for approximately $65 on Best Buy – a *cool* savings of $40 – nice.
Here are a few “deal” sites that are worth looking into on a regular basis.
Deal Hack – http://www.dealhack.com/index.html
Deal Catcher – http://www.dealcatcher.com/
TechBargains - http://www.techbargains.com/
Woot – http://www.woot.com/
There is a definite “thrill” that comes when finding a good bargain that is perfect for your needs.
Here’s hoping you’ll find a few more (soon).
This is a really good Web site check list for Web designers.
I ran across this site today for the first time. I guess I live under a rock. I found some of the content very interesting and wanted to pass the link along. Happy reading.

Use this helpful chart when researching whether a particular public domain item can be used (or when it might become available).
There seems to be a social site for everything-music, health, art, you name it. But did you know there are also many for web designers? Read on, and check out these 50 sites that are great for web design social networking.
Here are some little known, quality public domains (that means free) photograph and illustration sites that can be used immediately for your current or upcoming creative business projects.
What does Public Domain mean exactly? A work is in the public domain if it is no longer protected by copyright. This means you can copy and use the work freely, including preparation of derivative works and use of images commercially without infringing or violating anyone’s rights.
There are so many stock photo sites on the web that it becomes difficult to keep track of all of them. But who has the time to hunt all these down?
If you visit the same ones regularly (anyone heard of istock?) it might surprise you to know just how much free quality public domain photos, illustrations are out there. It’s massive.
Although all of these sites have been reviewed as public domain please practice due-diligence in re-reading each websites terms of use.
