Naughtycodes very handy for online holiday shopping

Any of you doing holiday shopping on the Internet, it maybe worth your while to check the naughtycodes site to get discount coupons. I ordered a photobook from ofoto.com and was able to find a 30% off coupon code from this site. Ofoto site was only advertising a 20% off coupon. Added the site to our blogroll.


Comparison shop from inside Bookstores !

Don’t know why no one thought of this before. Amabuddy  lets you  call a number from your cell phone, enter the ISBN number and find the Amazon.com price for the book that you are browsing at Barnes & Noble. It can also recommend similar books. I tried it, its simple and elegant. Of course,  if you are deep inside the store, you may not have coverage.  I noticed this service on Waqas Ahmed’s blog. If you head over to Who is Waqas ? on his blog, you can see why he is “impressed” by this service!
