1-day, zazz, catch of the day etc

i'm TOTALLY addicted to Zazz and Catch Of The Day...

http://www.zazz.com.au/
http://www.catchoftheday.com.au/
http://www.1-day.com.au/

Cheap(er) gadgets and strange things on sale for one day only. I think it's a clever psychological thing - i check it each morning first thing to see what it is. Where as I often wouldn't be interested in the things they sometimes sell if they were on a normal shopping website.

I always LOL at Zazz' descriptions too.

Anyone else a sucker for them?

Got any other sites like these I can check and get addicted to?

I wasn't addicted as not every piece of software was useful. Although it was 100% free for the taking.

nah this is different.

It's called "electronic gadget enquiry phenomenon" for example, my girlfriend can look at jeans and shit on ebay, and I'll mock her.....

Give me the latest DSE catalogue however, and I can't put it down, it's like reading a novel!!!! It just "captures" your attention...

Something from overseas, like chemical records catalogue, forget about it!!! I'm not moving for an hour!!! "ooh, that cheap!" and I don't even NEED the item!!!!

hmmm?

like the usb warmed slippers they had on the weekend:

or mittens last week:

totally. very tempted.

SoulWhiteMan · Post by **SoulWhiteMan** » Wed Jun 27, 2007 2:23 pm

those mittens remind me of poor little dogs getting carried around in handbags with vests on

mixtress · Post by **mixtress** » Wed Jun 27, 2007 2:31 pm

usb heated slippers and gloves?? wtf?

I can imagine jumping up to grab a snack or something and accidently dragging your PC off the desk.

yenks · Post by **yenks** » Wed Jun 27, 2007 2:31 pm

Hmm i like the idea behind these sites.

Suckered me right in, i just bought one of the bluetooth wireless hand free kits for the car. only $40, pretty decent.

Post by **fooishbar** » Wed Jun 27, 2007 2:42 pm

http://www.woot.com though us-only.

yesterday's made me laugh through bitter recognition.

Post by **breaksRbest** » Wed Jun 27, 2007 2:48 pm

keep me away from those sites

I'm the worst impulse buyer, I'd end up with a room full of gadgets I don't really need and an empty (or emptier) bank account

you're gonna become a junky with it too i bet! it happens so quickly...

Hmmmm

thanks Luce.

thats me screwed! I never knew about these sites.

Like my credit card needs any more of a work out!!

Guest · Post by **Guest** » Wed Jun 27, 2007 11:17 pm

Damn you. These sites are not good for my bank balance either. Thank Jebus they're blocked at work.

I'm the sort of person that comes home drunk and finds out a couple of days later that he's bid on things on graysonline.

So far, I've managed to accidentally buy towels, (seriously, who the fuck buys towels when they're drunk?), a crate of wines and A MACBOOK. (I already have one MacBook.. Why would I need another?)

That one hurt a little more when it hit the CC.

Fents · Post by **Fents** » Thu Jun 28, 2007 9:24 am

heh todays one is cool :

Splashproof Active Boom Box
AM/FM radio, stereo speaker set and storage box

Post by **Friday** » Thu Jun 28, 2007 10:30 am

i want it!!

the blue-y/purple-ey one at the back:

you can plug your mp3 player into it too which is cool. good for camping!

mixtress · Post by **mixtress** » Thu Jun 28, 2007 10:35 am

This could well be the solution to my lack-of-choice-sounds in my car! Wanted a Cd player but this and an MP3 player may just do the trick.

Although I'm not sure how it'll handle a Calyx/Teebee bassline

yenks · Post by **yenks** » Thu Jun 28, 2007 10:50 am

24 pairs of socks lol, not sure why that sound funny. maybe because its a good idea.

i really hate looking for clean socks and underwear in the morning, in fact it is such a big part of my day i call it the 'holy search'

if i didnt have clean socks i wouldnt go to work

mixtress · Post by **mixtress** » Thu Jun 28, 2007 2:30 pm
