Do you feel a great deal of satisfaction when you get a great deal?

I deal ninja everything from toilet paper to higher end vacations, today when I was meandering through rite aid I saw both the laundry detergent and toilet paper I bought recently on the shelves at double the price I paid and felt an overwhelming pride.

I have what I feel like is an abnormal amount of satisfaction off of saving 5 or 10 bucks here and there. I know it all adds up but I figure when I see my bank account, that's when it should kick in but literally it's every time I get a good price on something. I'm not cheap, I live pretty well...I just feel like I have the luxury to live better when I save money on the stuff I need/want.

Do any of you get the same almost abnormal amount of satisfaction from getting a great price on mundane things?

TOTALLY. I can't help but feel a little smug when I see some chump pay more than what I paid for any item. I'd have to say that Woot has helped me save quite a few dollars I wouldn't have otherwise.

It serves as a reminder how many people don't necessarily look for deals. They pay full price without even thinking about it, even though money is not growing on their tree.

I like the fact that things are available for me if I have to have them immediately. But, if I am willing to wait, I can find very specific items for significantly less than MSRP. When I do get a good deal, I am usually very happy about it.
The other hand is, I feel like a cheap wad when I am scrounging for ways to save a few extra pennies.
If it is an exact item that is way below MSRP then I am excited, but searching all over just to save 5% makes me feel stupid for wasting my time.

Yes! Most of the deals I post are things I was surfing around for anyway, so to be able to find them at a lower price/free shipping/gift card with purchase is great.

I'm so bad...presents were opened early this year and I had left the price tags on the clothes in case they needed to be returned. I found myself glancing at the retail prices and doing a mental fist pump "Hah! I got that $50 Nike Hoodie for $25..That Docker shirt was $16 on sale, who would pay $44 for that?".

My son told me his friends got iPod Touches for Christmas and all I could think of was " I got that at Target for $135 ($175 w/$40 gift card included with purchase). Those fools paid $190. Hah!".

It's nice to save money. Thanks Woot!

Hey, log in or sign up first!

Whatever it is you're trying to do can ONLY be done by registered, logged-in Deals.Woot members. Why? Because they're better people than you. Don't worry: you can easily improve yourself by logging into your Woot account or signing up for a new one.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
