Default Did you Woot today?

Woot is a shopping site. Woot: Daily Deals for Electronics, Computers, Home, Tools, Garden, Sport, Accessories, Kids, Shirt, Wine, & more
I hate shopping but I went to woot and bought a refurbished RCA sound bar that has wifi for netflix, a wen hand held grinder in a case with all the attachments, a 9ft hdmi cable and a power charger that you charge and it will recharge your phone, ipad or laptop when those go down.
I spent $86 and that included $5 for shipping everything to one address.
Their inventory changes and things sell out but if you hate shopping, this might be the answer for you too.

Internet shopping has increased in the last several years.

Amazon has a prime membership where items will be shipped at no charge. It gets delivered to your door at a fair price.

I'm sure other companies have taken notice and want their slice of the pie.

I didn't woot today but I know dogs that have woofed.

Woot was purchased by Amazon in 2010.

Years ago I looked at Woot and only rarely bought something. I didn't realize the company changed hands. It was exciting. The deals were that good. I shouldn't be surprised that a bigger company bought them out. That happens quite often.

I check their website almost every day. I've purchased several items myself. Love the $5 shipping charge for everything.

I look at Woot every day. Some are good deals and some not so good. Check the price before you buy. Watch out for things like electronics & computers. I purchased a referb tablet that was still messed up when I got it. It was not easy to get them to take it back and it took a long time to resolve the problem and get my money back. It cost me shipping both ways. NOT worth it in my opinion. On the flip side I have bought from Woot several times... just no more referb or electronic items.

I replaced my golf club grips with some golf pride oversize grips and Hugh putter grip for less than $75 bucks with free shipping. Really made difference from the slick originals.

You put the grips on yourself? I know that's not too hard to do. I have done it but it's been a while. I'm just asking.
My son bought a bunch of rewashed pro V's a couple of weeks ago for $15 a dozen, I think? He came down for a visit and was very happy with the deal.

yes, done it myself that included the tape/lubricant kit. Done it several times before. This was the easiest with the kit. Didn't have to cut lengths of tape. The big putter grip really made difference in feel and grip on the putter. Saved boat load of and gave me something to do for while
