Slickdeals.net Offers Tons of Deals from Around the Web

Free Site a Little Complicated to Use, but Has a Wide Variety

Steve Helmer
As I've said in the past, I am a person who loves finding free items on the Internet; whether it's a free product sample or a book, CD or t-shirt. And, to aid my search, I've found a variety of Web sites that specialize in that sort of thing.

The one I've been visiting most lately has been slickdeals.net.

When I first discovered slickdeals.net, I wasn't very impressed with it. I had been spending my time almost exclusively on Cash Pirates and, when compared to Cash Pirates, slickdeals.net was really complicated to use. Most of the offers you see immediately on the site are ones you have to pay for and, unlike Cash Pirates; they aren't broken into easy-to-use categories.

What I did eventually learn, however, is, if you click on their "forum" section, you can find quite a few links from around the Web because members are constantly submitting them throughout the day and, because of that, at least when it comes to freebie links and online deals, they are a little better than the other sites I visit. I now check out their site at least a couple of times each day.

This morning, for example, I found links for a free t-shirt, a free jazz music CD and a free copy of "Navigating Your Health Benefits for Dummies." Some other links included free baby formula, free pet treats and free fire arm safety kits.

One of the features on the freebies forum I like is the fact members can rate the specific freebie link. Based on the ratings, the links then show either a thumbs up or thumbs down (or multiple of each depending on how many members rated the site that way). I like this because it means I can just glance at the link and know whether it's one worth visiting or one that will be a big waste of time for me.

The forum section doesn't just talk about online freebies. There are also categories for online coupons and contests and I've been to those sections on a frequent basis.

The Hot Deals section of the slickdeals.net forum is typically one I avoid because I don't find much that I would be interested in, but there are some offers on it that many people might find useful. Most of the deals in the forum are discounted prices on specific items ranging from power tools to video games and some of the deals aren't that bad.

If you're looking for the best deals on the Web, slickdeals.net is one of the first sites you should visit.

    A week ago, I was looking for shopping coupons on various sites but I found most of the coupons not operational. However, my brother John Arnold suggested me the couponhutt.com site to acquire valid coupons. While shopping I made use of these coupons and save money
