Do you think Hot Deals sites save you money or make you spend more?

I've spent more than I would have

 

[imported_malcontent]

I haven't bought anything from Hot Deals that I was not looking for anyway, so it has saved me money.

HD for me is like crack when I have extra change to spend.

 

[SmoochyTX]

spent more

 

[lokiju]

I spend waaay to much time in HD's and as a result have bought many things I had no idea I "had" to have until I saw how good of a deal I could get on it

Well said.

I buy a few things every week from HD. Things I really shouldn't buy, but I just can't resist I guess.

Save money, I really haven't made any impulse buys or whatever because of a forum...

 

[RossMAN]

You gotta spend money to save money.

Actually, AT Hot Deals, along with FW and SD have saved me bundles of money because I have only bought things that I needed.

I always check SD for cheap clothing stuff on amazon.com. I save alot that way. I get all my sneakers for $20 or less and all my tops for $6 or under

I participated in staples deals where i got a nice chair, cd burner and other stuff for like $40 total after rebates and $30 off $150 coupons, etc. Staples .49cent and .99 cents sales are awesome, look out for those. You get legal pads, staples etc really cheap.

Then i recently got in on that dell 9100 and 24 inch LCD for $1000. And the Logitech z5500 and wireless keyboard for $240. (They replaced a 6yr old gateway desktop, so I deserved that one) :beer:

Now I'm waiting for good soundcard, headphone, headphone amp deals and then I will zip my wallet closed for a whilie.

It's caused me to spend more money, but get a lot of stuff I could have never afforded before.

 

[Reckoner]

I just bought that Philips HDTV listed in Hot Deals.. so yeah, I'd say it has made me spend more money

Thanks (or no thanks to ATHD) I've bought speakers that

A: I didn't need
B: That aren't hooked up
C: I get yelled at for purchasing

saves on what i was going to spend on anyway

 

[ThisIsMatt]

Can't really think of anything I bought that I didn't: 1) Want already, 2) Sell for a profit, or 3) Get for free regardless
