177: today's good deals

hey y'all!

how's your friday going so far?

just wanted to share some good shopping sites i've come across in the past few days.

there's JungleCrazy, a site that compiles the best/lowest discounts from amazon.com. the discounts are at least 70% and there's also a 1 cent page. i wasn't surprised to see the razor phones on the 1 cent page. the ones we got from verizon wireless really sucked rotten eggs.

there's also CCO. they're the website that gets all the closeout stuff from catalogs like Chadwick's and LaRedoute. they have some reeeeeallllly good deals but of course, sizes and quantities are limited.

keep in mind that i've never bought anything from either of these places so caveat emptor y'all and happy friday.

update...

i tried to buy a few inexpensive items from JungleCrazy.com. i guess i forgot about the crazy shipping costs when buying from amazon when the items are being sold by several different merchants on the same tab. for 8 items (2 @ $9.99, 1 @ $5.99, and 5 @ $2.99)

merchandise total: $ 40.92
shipping: $ 20.89

needless to say, i'm chucking the whole load. i refuse to pay $20 for shipping and/or handling.

I will have to check those pages out! I got a Razr from Verizon, and I really like it except the speakerphone isn't very loud. Not a problem with a bluetooth earpiece, though.

Everyone advised me against getting it, but I've been lucky. Mine's been dropped countless times, once even in the dog's water bowl! It still keeps on going. I did have some programming issues with it at first, though.
