Important: New Email Policy!!!
Stickied: This will remain at the top. Please scroll down for new deals!
One of my favorite things has always been to help people save money. As any of my friends can tell you, it really bothers me when someone buys a 512 MB SD card at Best Buy for $50, pays $400 to get from L.A. to NYC, or gets locked into a bad cell phone plan for 2 years.
That being said, I have really enjoyed personally answering everyone’s emails over the past few years about every kind of question under the sun, however due to:
-The growth of this site,
-The ever increasing amount of emails, (literally dozens per day now, or even hundreds when i post a “contact me” deal)
-My current highly limited time constraints,
I will unfortunately be unable to personally answer any more of these emails.
The only exception for the time being is to get a “contact me” deal, like for the sero email address.
You can always leave a comment under the most recently posted deal (please don’t post it on a deal from last month!) and hopefully some of my helpful readers will post a response and if I have the time I will chime in as well.
Thanks in advance for your understanding!

Hey why don’t you make a forum??? That way half of the questions can be answered by other reader’s, and your email wont get swamped!
Also, there is a website called goingtoday.com that sells one item a day (like woot.com) except they sell music stuff, and they are having a “fall refresh sale” which is similar to a wootoff. all you have to do is refresh and a new item comes on.

Yes Dan, the forum idea has been mentioned before in the comments, and is a great idea. If you could pull it off, ‘twould be gr8.

I’m a little torn on this…
Does everyone think making a forum would be a good idea?
Don’t pretty much all forums die off?
(Bochurim.tk was extremely popular and then just lost steam.)
What would happen to the comments section here?
Is it worth making a whole new forum, or should it just be a part of another forum, like frumspace for example?
Opinions?

A forum is a great idea like slick deals.net which is the best but I dont htink it will work here simply because there are not enough people to be part of it so maila it will die out.
Plus there is a maala of seeing each deals by itsef explained. If you want forums for sales there are a hundred of them (although if oyu go to slickdeals you dont need anything else).

I was going to say the same, that it should be like the slickdeals format, but i disagree that it will 1. die out 2. that it even matters. See the ones that die out (like bochurim, etc..) are SOCIAL forums. What I am proposing, is not a social forum, but a forum under each deal! that way, every deal can be discussed separately, without us having to resort to email, and possibly getting our answer’s in the forum’s from you or someone else, before we even ask! it’s really just like the comments you already have on the blog, just so much easier to use. ok I have said all I can on this matter and now it’s up to you!

By the way I should’ve complimented Dan on this amazing website. I made a bar mitzvah in israel and was able to take my whole family to Israel on points. Now my brother is getting married in Israel and with all the tips I got on Dansdeals I will hopefully be able to go with the whole family again on points. So thanks for a great site

Dan:
Falafel in Paradise in Kona set up a Indiegogo account seeking help to stay open. I would much appreciate if you would show your support and add a linky or comment about them. They are the only source of kosher food on the Big Island.
Here is the linky:
