I have been tossing around as to whether to blog about this site that I religiously visit every day. Part of my spiritual surfing journey is for personal reasons and the other is for professional. The site I speak of is call SlickDeals.net.

They claim they are: "The most frequently updated and complete deal site on the web! We provide you with the day's hottest deals every day. We also have over 800 coupons for all your favorite online stores. Browse around and you're bound to save more than a few bucks!"

So what can you find on SlickDeals.net? I would venture to say that almost anything that is legal to sell on the internet, but mainly it has a lot of computer and techie stuff. Which is where libraries on a budget can benefit. If you are on a tight budget and you have a pretty savy systems or techie librarian, you can get some serious gadgets for less.

For example on such huge deal that was posted on SlickDeals.net and has expired was a tip that Dell had a $750 off coupon code if you bought $1500 on Inspiron Laptops (see deal). Other things such as flash drives, optical mice, DVDWR drives, memory, etc are all posted on their site with information as to how to get the posted deal.

Of course their are other non-techie things such as clothes, kids games, videos, and home products (that is where my personal interests start to peak), but for the most part you will primarily find techie sorts of things.

I have heard many libraries talk about buying used books from dealers, vendors, and even from Amazon.com in order to save a little bit of money. This site is the perfect area for small libraries who have some flexibility in purchasing on a tiny budget. If anything, it is fun to peruse and maybe you will find something "at this price I have gotta get it" kind of thing.
