With the holiday "blow all your money on crap" season just around the corner...

What are the best deal aggregator sites out there that DON'T focus on hard drives, monitors and tech stuff? (Not that there's anything wrong with that)

I go to places like Spoofee, Dealhack and Ben's Bargains everyday. And on them I've gotten a great laptop, a badass 37 inch LCD TV, a bunch of cheap SD cards and sheets. Lots and lots of sheets.

It's like the high threadounts activate some post-hypnotic suggestion or something.

But, aside from said good deals on queen size sheet sets, there's usually about 15 tech deals for every one deal on anything that doesn't fall into the geek category. Oh sure they'll have the occasional something involving cool apparel, shoes or a george foreman grill. But I want sites with the exact OPPOSITE ratio. Maybe even sites that feature new cool products at reduced prices.

So where do I go to tax my credit rating and is devoid of merchandise with RAM, USB or LCD in the item lists?

Mother of all Deals is a deal site aggregator, which may help you find the non-tech stuff in the haystack.

someone from mefi does wireddeals.com, which I've been using since it was posted in projects. Highly recommended.

They write about other aggregator sites and stuff on their blog, ProBargainHunter, so you might check that out too.

disclaimer: not affliated with either of these sites, just a fan

dealnews has really impressed me with its infinitely-customizable set of email alerts (you can pick from a huge range of product categories and individual companies/sites).

I like dealspl.us.

I think it's the Bensbargains guy's "digg-esque" site.

There's probably a high ratio of tech deals to non-tech deals, but I often see good non-tech stuff on there.

SmartBargains is more of a closeout kind of place than an aggregator, but their prices are often really good, better than Overstock.

Slickdeals and Fatwallet both have decent forums with lots of deals of both the tech and non tech variety.
