OT: Online discounts from the Internet Tourbus

[John Walton]

Hi all,

I hope that the listmums will forgive this OT message, but this little *gem*
arrived in my mailbox this morning. Since we all exhibit signs of literature
abuse, I do believe that the coupons below might be useful in saving money
(and thus putting more in the "can spend on HP stuff" pile).

It's taken from the Internet Tourbus, www.tourbus.com.

Enjoy,

--John

I'm sure George W. Bush isn't dyslexic.
Why, he's never even been to Dyslexia.

Don't blame me -- I voted for Gore.

An Amazing Bargain Flamingo
---------------------------

One of the best-kept secrets on the Net is that most online stores
and e-commerce sites offer unadvertised discounts to special
customers, especially new customers.  These discounts are significant
-- US$10 off a US$25 purchase, US$15 off a US$30 purchase, 25% off
any purchase, and so on.  And these discounts are being offered by
online stores and e-commerce sites you know: Barnes and Noble,
Buy.com, and Sharper Image, to name a few.  Unfortunately, you have
to have a special code or have a special coupon to be able to receive
these discounts.

How do you get one of these special codes or coupons?  Easy.  Just
visit any one of the following sites.

Long-time riders will remember that Amazing-Bargains was one of my top
21 Web sites long before they became a sponsor of our little bus of
Internet happiness.  It still is one of my faves.  Why?  Well, I think
their Web page sums it up rather nicely:

     You can view the bargains by category, by store, new bargains,
     expiring soon, search, or hot bargains.  The bargains on [the]
     main page are only a small sampling of the bargains you will find
     inside.  Currently there are 435 bargains listed in 115 different
     stores.

You can find Amazing-Bargains at

<A HREF="http://www.amazing-bargains.com/">
http://www.amazing-bargains.com/ </A>.

Running a VERY close second on my list of favorite online coupon sites
is Flamingo World at

<A HREF="http://www.flamingoworld.com/">
http://www.flamingoworld.com/ </A>.

Flamingo World has a WONDERFUL design, much improved since we last
visited them back on 9 December.  In fact, when I created my list of
Top 21 Web sites, I had a hard time choosing between Amazing-Bargains
and Flamingo World.  In the end I chose Amazing-Bargains because it
has a complete list of coupon-granting stores on its main page, but
whenever I shop for something online I always visit BOTH Amazing-
Bargains and Flamingo World.

Oh, and I want to give a special, belated thank you to fellow TOURBUS
rider Heather Headrick for telling me about both of these sites last
year.  These two sites have saved me a BUNDLE!

By the way, here are just a few of the other online coupon sites that
have popped up over the past couple of years:

     Deal Catcher

And, of course, our friends at Yahoo even have a section for sites
like Amazing-Bargains and Flamingo World:
