I’ve always been hesitant to partake in online shopping. I usually like to see what I’m buying before I hand over my credit card (as well as see who I’m actually handing my credit card over to – but that’s a whole separate issue). I’m not a big eBay fan, which is probably a good thing, considering I only make so much money at The Breeze. However, there is one online shopping site that has caught my college-budget attention: woot.com.
Now, I can’t take all the credit for finding this one. My boyfriend mentioned it to me once, when I wasn’t really listening. Then he brought it up again, and I actually heard him. Woot.com is a Web site that sells one product a day at a really discounted price. Each morning at 12 a.m CT, a new product is released to be sold and it will continue to be sold on the site until the product runs out or it turns into the next day. Most of the products sold on Woot are electronics, which is awesome because those are the products that happen to be most expensive in retail stores.
Today, the product was an Electrolux Pronto 2 in 1 Cyclonic Upright Bagless Vacuum. Just what I’ve been looking for! Well, not really, but Woot’s prince of $49.99 plus $5 shipping sure beats $99.99 as I found it listed elsewhere online.
Word to the wise - log on early, especially if it's an awesome item (like a DVD recorder for only $99.99) and they don't have many of them (which they never tell you).
They also have Woot-Offs, Random Bags of Crap and 2-for-Tuesdays, all of which are explained in more detail here.
While the fun and anticipation of bidding on eBay isn’t there, what’s better than finding an awesome deal on that new digital camcorder or power drill you’ve had your eye on? Keep checking the site each day, because you never know what product will be next.
You know you love a great online deal too.
