3. Bargain Websites
Below, I’ve listed ten different feed URLs that you can copy and paste directly into iGoogle, as described above. Just copy the URL below, paste it as described above, and it becomes an automatically updating part of your iGoogle homepage.
If you use a feed reader, you can subscribe to any of these (likely just by clicking through, depending on how your system is configured):
Amazon Gold Box

4. Bargain Twitterers
A few months ago, I mentioned that there are many useful people on Twitter worth following for the deals they post. If you’re not into Twitter and would rather “follow” these people in another way, you can keep track of the posted deals using this iGoogle technique. Here are the feed URLs for seven Twitterers I mentioned in the article.
DellOutlet
http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/5688592.rss
Computer deals from Dell.
AmazonDeals
http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/1922861.rss
Lots of “hidden” deals from Amazon.com.
AmazonMp3
http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/14740219.rss
Excellent legal albums in mp3 format for $1.99-2.99.
Dealyzer
http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/17331003.rss
A wide variety of deals of all types.
DealUniversity
http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/17893953.rss
An excellent assortment of tech deals.
CheapTweet
http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/17545909.rss
An aggregation of many of the best deals posted to Twitter.
BooksAMillion
http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/17248079.rss
A great collection of deals on books.
5. Filter These URLs
You might find that all of these things are overkill – you can’t possibly keep track of hundreds of deals a day. If that’s the case, it’s quite easy to simply filter them, focusing in on the specific items you’re looking for.
FeedSifter.com lets you put in a RSS feed URL (like the ones above), then filter it for any list of terms you put in, then gives you an output feed that contains only the items that match the terms you listed. I actually described using FeedFilter once before, to similar ends.
Let’s see this in play. I like to use Amazon’s Gold Box (described above) for certain types of bargains: video games, cookbooks, and a few other odds and ends. I don’t have time for – and don’t really care that much – about the other deals that Gold Box might give me.
So, I’d fill out Feed Sifter like this:
A quick note: search terms fewer than three characters match everything, so use ones longer than that.
When you click on the “Filter my Feed” button, you’ll get an option to subscribe to that new feed. Click on that and you’ll find that the Amazon feed is now filtered for those search terms. Copy THIS URL and add it to iGoogle as described at the top of this post, and you’ll be able to see the latest deals, filtered to your specifications, whenever you want.
You can filter ANY of the above URLs in the same way using FeedFilter. Personally, I filter some feeds (SlickDeals) and don’t filter others (AmazonMp3).
How Do I Use It?
I have a nice big page built on this technique that I visit several times a day. Perhaps once a week, I’ll find something worth picking up – but when I do find something, I’m usually saving quite a bit on that item.
Give it a try! It takes a bit of time to get such a page set up, but once you’re set up and ready to go, it can be a big help when you’re looking for Christmas gifts or for specific bargains for yourself.
