woot.addict

I'm a woot addict (or as Alison claims, a wootaholic). I've known about woot for a long time but I've been afraid of signing up for it because I knew that it was something that I could quickly become addicted to. For those of you that aren't aware, woot is a website that sells new and refurbished items at bargain prices. Every night at 11:00 PM (mountain time) they list a new product which remains on sale until it sells out or a new product is listed (the next night).

I'm excited because it's almost 11:00 PM. Alison is cooking herself some French toast and I'm patiently waiting for a new woot to appear. Here are the woots that snagged me:

1. Toshiba 1080p Upconverting DVD Player with HDMI Cable - $39.99
Our DVD Player has started to refuse to play our discs. While we don't have an HDTV we know that we will someday and this was a great price on a name-brand player. I wasn't going to buy one unless it could upconvert so we got it.

2. DesignerVision 1 GB MP3 Player - $9.99

This woot was for Alison. She actually got a pink one though.

3. Kodak EasyShare Z1275 12MP/720p Digital Camera w/5x Optical Zoom - $99.99
There is nothing wrong with our digital camera. Its biggest faults are that it only takes pictures at 3.2 MP, has a tiny viewing screen and is quite bulky. So far we have been really impressed with this new camera. When I post pictures of my recent trip (forthcoming, I swear) then ya'll will be able to see how sweet a deal it is too.

If you're in the market for some new electronics, keep your eyes tuned to wooters and you just might get lucky.

Today's woot is just a pair of lame headphones. Although I am in the market for some new headphones...

You really ARE a woot-aholic. Dont be surprised if we plan an intervention for you.

I think rather than an intervention, what you need is a plan. You could get together a group of fellow wootaholics and you could each take a night to see what's there. If it's something good, then you notify the rest of the group via text message or whatever. That way you don't miss any good deals and you'll have more time so that you can make Allison her french toast.

I like that idea!

I have to say that I'm a bit of a woot aholic, too. It's what happens when you work a cake graveyard job once a week. It's the perfect time to play online.

I did it again, I just can't stop myself. This time I sprung for a Philips Prestigo 10 Device Universal Remote Control for $34.99 (Our TV remote is dying and this will hopefully be a suitable replacement - and allow us to hide-away our other 5 remotes).
