Slickdeals.net
Founded in 1999, Slickdeals.net is a free, user-driven deal sharing site with a mission to provide consumers an avenue to collaborate and share information in order to make the best shopping decisions. Slickdeals achieves this by providing its users a forum for communication and various shopping tools. Slickdeals.net prides itself on being user and community focused, never allowing paid placement for frontpage deal listings.

A reviewer of the site says "this site is my home page. my holy grail for an incurable online shopping habit."

I am more and more amazed by this website everytime I go to it.
But I refuse to go to it everyday. Why do I refuse you might ask? Well simply because if I did I would be completely broke. I would sucumb to the sale prices and spend every dollar I earn because of course if its listed on this website its a good deal.

This site is updated every day, listing internet only deals along with printable coupons at times. Its pretty much the best website I've found to share and discuss good deals on.

My own personal best find of the day.
rsvp by 6pm.com
Right now theres about 500 pairs of shoes for $10.00 or less a pair. On Slickdeals its listed as PM All RSVP Mens & Womens shoes $9.95 up to 95% off but on the site right now the most expensive ones are $9.95!
I've been skimming for about 1/2 an hour now and some of these shoes have an MSRP of $100+. I really think I've died and gone to heaven. I was only looking for a pair of black dressy peep toe heels with a platform wedge but I have 12 pairs of shoes in my cart and my total is only $70.00 so far. Oh and I forgot to mention the best part! Free shipping when you spend $50.00 or more!

Secrets to finding and using online coupons

Here are some secrets to saving money finding and using online coupons!

Start Clicking and Stop Printing

First and foremost, be sure to use online coupons in addition to printable coupons. If you do come across an expired or faulty coupon, finding a replacement by doing a quick online search is much easier than if you’re already at the store in a checkout line.

Time it Right

 Mark your calendar or create reoccurring reminders because the best online deals are offered three times a month: the very beginning, the very middle and the very end. Online stores post fresh coupons the 1st-3rd of the month, the 14-16th, and the 28th through the end of the month.

Check Out the Competition

 Don’t wait until checkout to find a coupon. Start by visiting a coupon and deal site (CouponCraze, Retailmenot or Savings.com are some of the ones I check) to search for the item you’re looking for. This will cut down on visits to multiple sites by allowing you to see which store is offering the best price.

Get the Truth About Expiration Dates: Expiration dates are subject to change. Stores reserve the right to expire coupon codes earlier than anticipated and without much notice. It can be due to increased demand or limited supply of products. Either way, act quickly on an offer because it may not be there the next day. I know some places like Victorias Secret or Gap will not honor coupons that do not have expiration dates on the at all also.

Go Beyond Google and Find Reliable Sites

By simply Googling “Nordstrom Coupon Code,” you’re going to find the most popular or generic code, which doesn’t guarantee the best discount. Instead, go directly to a reliable coupon code and deal site because they work directly with retailers and have access to exclusive coupons that don’t always come up in a Google search.

To determine whether a site is reliable, shoppers can look out for a couple of red flags. The first is sites that let users post coupons because the likelihood that those codes will be faulty or expired is much higher. Instead, use sites which ONLY post coupons that are approved by the merchant. The second is sites that have an expired coupons section or list expired coupons on the site. These sites are tricking consumers into thinking they have coupons for certain retailers and will end up wasting your time.

Beat the Promo Box

 Make sure the discount is applied to your total BEFORE you make the purchase – a discount will never appear after you have purchased an item.

Avoid Shared Coupons

 Avoid using sites that let users post coupons because the likelihood they will be faulty or expired is much higher. Instead use sites which ONLY post coupons that are approved by the merchant.

Use Coupons for Every Holiday:  Coupon sites often have holiday or themed categories that will streamline your shopping experience by directing you to year-round and holiday-specific retailers that have the best price and selection. So this Valentine’s Day, start your search online to save.

Book Travel for Less

If you’re booking a packaged vacation, online coupons are the way to go. During the second half of the month travel sites offer new deals that are valid for the next month. These deals won’t be as specific as coupons for other items, but if you can be flexible, you’ll find unbeatable deals using online coupon sites.

Stack the Savings:

The easiest way to stack coupons is to combine coupon codes with general free shipping offers. For example, you can combine a 10 percent off any purchase coupon with a free shipping with a $50 purchase coupon unless a restriction is specified. In general, two coupon codes can be stacked together if they are noted as “stackable.”

Do the Math

Retailers often offer both percentage off (10% off) and dollar amount off ($20 off) coupons at the same time, so be sure to do the math before choosing which to apply. There are times when a dollar off deal is better than a percentage discount and vice versa and retailers will often confuse you with minimums.

Try a New Store 

Don’t be afraid to try out a new store. They often try to attract new customers with bigger discounts for first time shoppers. Savings can be five to 10 percent higher than the offer for all returning customers. But, remember these offers can only be used for your very first purchase at that retailer.

Get the Exclusive

Once you get the hang of online coupons, keep an eye out for exclusive coupon codes provided by sites. These coupons, marked as “Exclusive,” are often available for only a short time period, but can reap huge savings that will give you a leg up on other shoppers surfing the Web.

The sailing stones

The sailing stones (sliding rocks, moving rocks) are a geological phenomenon where rocks move in long tracks along a smooth valley floor without human or animal intervention. They have been recorded and studied in a number of places around Racetrack Playa, Death Valley, where the number and length of travel grooves are notable. The force behind their movement is not understood and is subject to research.



Racetrack stones only move every two or three years and most tracks develop over three or four years. Stones with rough bottoms leave straight striated tracks while those with smooth bottoms wander. Stones sometimes turn over, exposing another edge to the ground and leaving a different track in the stone's wake.



Sliding rock trails fluctuate in direction and length. Some rocks which start next to each other start out traveling parallel, but one may abruptly change direction to the left, right, or even back the direction it came from. Length also varies because two similarly sized and shaped rocks could travel uniformly, then one could burst ahead or stop dead in its track.



Speed is an unknown variable. Since these stones are rarely transported and nobody has witnessed the movement, the speeds the rocks travel at are not known.





I thought this was pretty interesting and worth posting.



How do you think these rocks move? How are the movement impressions preserved into the ground for so long?
