Question Top 10 ways to find deals

Hey guys!

Help me answer this question:

How do you find hot deals?

What I want to do is get your input and list all the different ways to find hot deals. We'll then sort the responses, and come up with the top 10 ways to find Hot Deals!

I think that doing this will help get more people involved with posting deals!!

Here's what you guys came up with so far (no particular order):

1) sign up for email newsletters

2) walking by stores and noticing the "sales" signs

3) weekly online flyers eg: londondrugs.com, shoppersdrugmart.ca

4) word of mouth: friends that work at the mall

5) local newspapers eg: the vancouver sun, the province, 24hr news

6) coupon websites

7) sample sales websites

8) magazines eg: lou lou magazine

9) .......

10)...........

still need your ideas!! =P

Re: Top 10 ways to find deals

Check out their weekly online flyers!
i scope out the london drugs and shoppers drugs mart ones each week!
i can save lots on just daily necessity items
(i.e. i love drinking tao ti apple green tea, and TnT sells them for 1.29 each bottle, it was on sale at london drugs for 88cents this week =))

Re: Top 10 ways to find deals

I just search around. If I want something, I'll just look around everywhere until I find a good deal. I usually end up getting some realllyyy awesome deals when I shop around!

Re: Top 10 ways to find deals

mallvibes
dad (grocery wise)
fliers
looking for "sale" signs (buy one get one, etc...)
remembering prices of things that i always use (ie. at superstore cream is like $12 for a 600ml, but at zellars it's $10 for 600ml)
word of mouth
online
going shopping AFTER a holiday, end of a season, etc...)
