Websites:
I absolutely love this website. Every day, they list the best deals available on-line. Everything from clothes, to televisions, toys, cables (HDMI, USB, etc.) to restaurant coupons and anything else you can imagine. I've found all sorts of nicknacks through this website. My favorite: I got a Harmony Universal Remote for $25 (normally more than $70).
Dealnews often refers me to this website for cables, adapters, converters and other electronic necessities. HDMI cables for $3 and an HDMI 3 port switch for $13 have been great finds there.
I love myself some woot.com. Perhaps the most popular of the deal-a-day websites, they offer...yep that's right.... one deal every day. What makes them special is their often funny descriptions and off-kilter sense of humor. Approximately once a month they have a "Woot-Off" where they offer more than one deal per day. Each one is available for anywhere from 2 minutes to an hour so you have to act fast if see something you want.
The Invisible Hand add-on for Firefox and Chrome
I learned this one from the "This Week in Windows" podcast which recommended it. It's an extension for your web browser that when you are looking at a product online, it will display a small header in your browser telling you if its the cheapest price available online and if not, where you can find it and at what cost. It only pops up when you're looking at a product listing, so it's pretty unobtrusive.
Bing.com Cashback
If you're going to buy something on walmart.com, dell.com, buy.com, newegg.com, macys.com, sears.com (and some others) do a search on bing.com. It will show a little gold coin next to the listings that offer cashback if you click on the link from bing.com. You have to sign up for their cashback program but the amount can vary anywhere from a couple of percent to 20%. During the holidays some of the websites increased their amounts from day to day so it's worth keeping in mind when purchasing something online.
