How I search for deals

Just thought of noting down the ways I try to find a good deal (especially applicable for electronic products).

Check the below websites:

deals.hardkap.com: This is a page I created that will allow fast search of various deal sites. Best method to search rather than visit all the deal websites.
deals2buy.com: This is a popular deal site. If you want to get more details with pictures compared to the above search.
edealinfo.com: Another popular deal site.
amazon.com: Sometimes, we might be able to find good deals here.
ebay.com: Make sure you look for "buy it now" items. Also check for the feedback of the seller.

Second set of sites you can search:

Usually, when I am looking for an electronic item. I search all these sites in the order specified and go for the cheapest and best deal. Make sure you check the full amount (price+tax+shipping).

Random Tips

I got the below from a forwarded email from a friend. I thought it is helpful. Hoping to add more as and when I come across any.

- To keep potatoes from budding, place an apple in the bag with the potatoes.

- When a cake recipe calls for flouring the baking pan, use a bit of the dry cake mix instead and there won't be any white mess on the outside of the cake.

- If you accidentally over salt a dish while it's still cooking, drop in a peeled potato and it will absorb the excess salt for an instant 'fix-me-up.'

- Wrap celery in aluminum foil when putting in the refrigerator and it will keep for weeks.

- Brush some beaten egg white over pie crust before baking to yield a beautiful glossy finish.

- Cure for headaches: take a lime, cut it in half and rub it on your forehead. The throbbing will go away.
