Bargain shopping for technology
Friday seems like a good day to tell you about my favorite bargain alerts. I subscribe to email alerts, which I receive on a nearly daily basis. Usually, I just glance at the subject line and delete the email if it isn’t something I want. While I will admit that I subscribe to a number of online retailer’s email alerts, lawyers hunting for technology or law office deals might be interested in these two: eCost.com HotSheet and NewEgg.com Super-saver edition. Both offer fabulously discounted deals on everything from new computers to vacuum cleaners — basically, electronics in general. Recent deals from eCost included a 250 GB portable hard drive (I think all lawyers should have one), an 8 GB USB flash drive (ditto), and a 4 GB microSD card for cameras and whatnot for only $5.99. On NewEgg, recertified routers, all-in-one color printers, digital cameras and a Nintendo Wii enticed buyers. As with all online retailers, take heed of shipping charges and try to shop when they are offering free shipping.
