I just ran across BuyWithCoupons.com, another site specializing in coupon codes and online coupons. But on top of that it has a bunch of links to secret discount areas, too. It’s a blog with the goal of “posting the best deals on the internet daily.”

The best deals on the internet?!! Awesome! It reminds me of Mozart’s Ghost…

This is genius! Someone out there made a site listing the coupon codes for a bunch of different stores. It’s 1-coupons.com. Finally, right? I mean after all these years of sharing music and videos, you’d think there’d be a place to say, “Hey! I got this great deal using this code!” And I don’t just mean some forum. Sure, forums have been the place to share coupon codes for a while, but that’s just because no one major site has grouped all the best deals together. And now one has. 1-coupons.com has discount info on everything, like “$30 off order of $500 or more at Overstock.com” and a promotion code for cheap airline tickets. Cool.

You can also sort among stores, and see which discounts your favorite companies offer. So like if you were a huge Sharper Image fan, and wanted an Ionic Breeze super cheap, you’d click “Sharper Image.” Or maybe you want discount running shoes at Foot Locker. Or one of those Little Giant Ladder Systems with free shipping. Whatever you want, it’s probably on discount, and 1-coupons.com knows about it.

Wow, seeing all those great deals makes me want to go spend some money. Seriously. Not just to help boost our economy. It’s like when you see a ton of bargains, and are convinced that you’ll be getting way more value for your dollar than usual, it’s a pretty big incentive to spend! But again, the only reason I’m shop-hungry is because of the prospect of so many deals. It’s about time 1-coupons.com came along and compiled an updated list of coupon codes for every major online store.

I don't usually go shopping on Black Friday. It just seems like way too much of a hassle to me. So seeing as how I haven't been participating in the event for a while, I've apparently lost sight of the incredible savings one can achieve through a 12-hour wait in line. I recently read in the paper that some people were able to get their hands on whole computer systems for just $200. That includes tower, monitor, keyboard, mouse, and maybe even printer.

To me, that is unbelievable. Way better than the best deals I've ever seen. Of course, I'm assuming the stuff is relatively new. It goes without saying that similar deals can be found with obsolete models.

As soon as I read about that one deal, it all began to make sense. Waiting in line to shop is like waiting in line for concert tickets, or waiting to sign up for that really great course taught by that really attractive professor. It isn't just mob shopping. There are deals to be had!

So now I've got next year's Black Friday all mapped out. I'll skip Thanksgiving dinner so I can get in line early…
