Getting Your "Cheap" On

Wifey and I were watching the early news, bleary-eyed, at 5 AM a few weeks ago and they were talking about bargain hunting the morning of cyber Monday (the Monday after the post-Thanksgiving Black Friday shopping extravaganza) and they interviewed the creator of this website, cheapcheapcheap.com. I've been following it, and they've had some great deals on things for christmas and not for christmas, blog-style on the front page with forums.

Now, Yahoo has a few articles up on the phenomenon of using coupon codes at your favorite retailers, whether they be internet-only or have a brick&mortar presence as well. Mentioned are: RetailMeNot.com, FatWallet.com and the Budget Fashionista.

I'm a liberal chemical engineer swimming in a sea of right-wingers. My cohorts and I (The Gumbinator, Lemon-Lyman and Johnny K-Street) will post about such things as "green" science and engineering, other engineering/IT and how they may relate to politics and economics, and economic issues such as tax policy and government transparency. Electoral stuff too. Of course, I'll bash the Bushies...
