Fetching those web bargains

Keep hearing about all those web bargains from your friends but missing out on them, or just hearing about a few? Stop hunting yourself and sign up for the Bargain Dog newsletter.
After spending some time configuring what types of bargains you are looking for (pets, men's clothing, computing) and how frequently (between daily to every other week) you'd like newsletter, you'll get an email newsletter (overnight usually) that includes the bargains du jour. When you find something you like, you would buy directly from the particular website, not Bargain Dog.
If you are not looking to receive more email, just visit the site and look through the bargains this doggie knows about. You'll never have to get email from them.
While I don't buy from (or even read) every newsletter, I signed up for the daily newsletter to at least find out about the bargains that are there when I have the time to read. I'd rather pass up on a short term bargain that I know about then learn about it later. The newsletters highlight three of the better bargains that I at least glance over.
I've had both good luck and bad in trying the bargains found by Bargain Dog. The bad luck was (to my knowledge) no fault of Bargain Dog. Many of the bargains are close outs so the sizes, colors, teams, choices, quantities are limited. I also bought from one site whose half price sale overwhelmed the vendor so bad that I had to wait about a month beyond promised time for shipment.
The one thing I don't like about the newsletter is that if you are interested in one of the bargains from the newsletter there is one extra click involved. Instead of going from newsletter to buy bargain, it goes from newsletter link to bargain dog site to buy bargain. Guess they have to pay the bills some how to make sure the referral is set appropriately.
Happy hunting.
