What's the current best bargain aggregation site on the net, especially for geeky/gadgety stuff? I used to be a big fan of Ben's Bargains, but that seems to have gone downhill, and, while Woot and Groupon and such are fun, they don't include deals from other places. Where should I go for serious shopping (and impulse buys)?

Don't like http://deals.woot.com?

Slickdeals has always served me pretty well, and if you're a gamer, Cheap Ass Gamer is indispensable.

Seconding Slickdeals. I tend to like Slickdeals more, but others also like Fatwallet.

I like dealnews.

Nthing Slickdeals. Their deal alerts feature can be really, really handy and powerful with the right search words and notifications setup.

American Science and Surplus. Lots of fun geeky stuff.

Hot Deals Club is still worth checking out — especially if you are the type of person who typically buys the types of things that Newegg sells — though the selection is limited (and sometimes confusingly random).

FatWallet takes a little bit of digging, but not much to find the HOTDEALS forum page. Filtering helps there as well. Overall, my Saturday AM deal hunting whilst drinking coffee page would be SlickDeals.net.

For those in the UK, hotukdeals seems popular. I'm sure there must be US equivalents.

I like techbargains for my geeky/gadgety stuff.
