    Default It's a bargain!

    Today I went to GameStop and the first thing I saw was the drastically reduced prices on some of the strategy guides. I bought the Kingdom Hearts 358/2 strategy guide for only $2.99, and then I left the store like a giddy school girl.

    Have you ever found any really good sales?

    Strategy guides are available for free online.

    I find sweet deals all the time. I go to this department store called Ross, which is basically a store where they take all the stuff that nobody wanted to buy from bigger retails and lowers the price a bunch to get people to buy them.

    Yeah, I'm pretty much obsessed with sites like Groupon, Living Social, Open Table, Yelp Deals, etc. Just today I bought an Open Table deal for $50 worth of food for $25 at a French bistro in San Francisco.

    I got my Le Creuset oven for 40% off retail price, my Mac Pro for $1000 off retail, Del Murder and I got our HTC Incredibles in a buy-one-get-one-free deal. The couch I'm sitting on we got for super cheap off Craigslist (it's an Ikea Ektorp and I looove it). And last year, we found round trip tickets to South Korea (non-stop) for $500. TAX INCLUDED! The book I am currently reading, The Story of Edgar Sawtelle, Del Murder got for me with a 40% off coupon at Borders. I get lots of great deals on books since I buy so many of them used. I found the Letters of J.R.R Tolkien for like $1 at a used book store!

    Also, there's this place in Vegas that I always go to that serves a steak dinner for $6.99 and that also includes soup/salad, two sides, and beer. Best deal in town.

    I am bargain hunter extraordinaire.

    Strategy guides, I think there should be a strategy guide for making minced soup. Not a cook book, I mean a strategy guide. You can almost NEVER get one of those. I think, in this day and age, that's the only thing that would turn me into a giddy school girl.
    There should be a strategy guide on how to be a giddy school girl.

    I love it when I see deals, because it means that I can get more of what I like. For example usually my clothes run me between 100-200$ a piece, which is ridiculous or just cheap, depending on whether you like deals or not.

    I personally like deals because it means that I can get more of what I like. For example when I found jeans for 40$ in USA I bought a whole bunch and then I bought a whole bunch and then brought them all to canada where they just got dirty and then I wore them to work sometimes.

    If I find a good deal I like deals because it means that I can get more of what I like.

    A lot of stuff I can get cheaper because my friend works at Media Markt. Means I can sometimes get new video games for like 30 euros, then sell them for 40 when I'm done.

    also I got some cool clothes through bargains. Like my Hugo Boss suit which was only 250 euro (originally like 700).

    I wait until the last possible moment to leave the safety of my mother's basement so I never get any of the good deals.

    If I have to talk about bargains otherwise I'll hurt the OP's feelings, then I've been going out on Black Friday for the past four years now. I also get emails for the sales at Macy's and The Men's Warehouse.
