Mentioning coupon sites got me to recall another favorite of mine that utilizes the community to rate and comment on deals: http://www.savings.com
@Chat
I really like the idea behind Savings.com, although I think it’s rather unclear whether the deals they claim to be popular are actually are. It’s great that each item on Savings.com has a user-rating score (from1-5) however it’s of no real value to me when I can’t see the actual number of votes. Am I missing something???
Good point. They used to show that statistic and since you mention it, I too noticed that it is no longer there. However, more recently, they seem to have abandoned the ratings for a digg-style bump/bury system.
Thanks for heads up, I’ll check it out shortly.
I visited CouponAlbum a great coupons site for shopping , it provides lots of fresh discounts,coupons and coupon codes from many branded stores.
thanks John, I will check it out.
