When you are bored around 10:00PM (PST) on any given day of the week, then there is the perfect and sometimes more than perfect solution. Woot.com offers one product each day released at 10:ooPM (PST) and most of the time the prices will make you want to say “Woot, Woot”! Most of the products are kind of strange, but you have to watch for the great products now and again. But wait, about once a month or two months or three, they have a thing called “Woot-Off”. A Woot-Off is when a new product is offered when the previous one sells out, so instead of checking once a day at 10:00PM (PST), you might feel the urge to check every 5 minutes, to see if there is a HOT buy! If you are really lucky, then you might see or even luckier be able to buy a “Bag of Crap”. The “Bag of Crap” is just plain fun. Costing only $1, the “Bag of Crap” could be anything from some stupid blue paper holder to a nice memory stick, but you will never know until it arrives on you doorstep. Even better, everything, no mater what size, weight, or quantity(max 3) shipping is always a flat $5.Â
Beside the incredibly fun shopping experience, the products descriptions are straight comedy. If you are not interested in buying something, the least you could do is read the funny descriptions.
For the people of higher class, there is also which offers a nice set of wines each day that are supposedly priced well below retail. Unfortunately, the wines offered still run at least $10 a bottle and as a college student I am much too cheap for that.
For the tech savvy, there are Woot Off programs that run on your computer to alert you of a new woot, but check it out regular Woot first before you take the plunge to doing an efficient Woot Off!
