Some of the best deals on the net last just 24 hours, so you have to be quick. These “deals-of-the-day” are designed to get you to come back day after day looking for a great price, and they work. Woot.com for example is very popular. But who has the time to go from one site to the another?

With over 60 “deals-of-the-day” aggregated onto one page, DODTracker.com displays the name of the product, who’s selling it, the price and a picture; all the essential information you need to decide if you are interested. Decide quickly though, the clock is ticking.

P.S. Don’t stop at the ad break when scrolling down the page.

A Best Buy card. A Bev Mo card. One each for Safeway and Albertson’s. Another for Office Depot and one for Office Max. All those club cards are enough to give you a 3 inch Constanza Wallet and a pain in your rear.

JustOneClubCard.com has a very simple, medium technology solution that will flatten your wallet by 7 cards. Here are the steps.

1. Enter up to 8 bar code numbers from your club cards into the Web based application at JustOneClubCard.com.
2. Print out the bar codes on a single sheet of paper.
3. Trim the print out using the trim marks. Done.

For a longer lasting card, you may want to laminate the final, cropped printout.

JustOneClubCard.com doesn’t store any information or numbers so you don’t have any real security issues. If you have more than 8 cards, do it again, and again, and again and sooner or later you will have a flatter, trimmer butt bulge.

If you do a lot of online product research, www.wize.com is a smart choice that will save you time and probably some money. You may even find yourself starting at Wize.com when starting that search for your next “gotta have” product. In addition to an aggregate score, you’ll get a “best price” which I have found to be very good when compared to own pricing research.
