The forth largest online search company in the US, Ask.com, has just stretched its reach into the deals niche by launching a deals section that branches off of the main search website. Ask.com/deals aggregates deals from several deal and coupon sites and allows filtering by category and store using sidebar links.
The design and feature set is very rudimentary. It is much less sophisticated than a similar offering from Yahoo or other competitors. The deal of the day takes up too much space and is annoying. For what it worth, the filtering is working just fine and is fairly quick but the deals themselves can be fairly old which in the bargain hunting business can mean a difference between the success and the failure of a new website. Check it out and let me know what you think.

Amazon has just released a new set of grocery coupon codes for this month and as usual I post them in a list sorted by amount so it is more convenient to pick those with the best value. All coupons below expire October 31, 2009.
The discount in parenthesis is what you will get if you use Amazon Subscribe & Save program. If you like these Amazon coupons, I also recommend you to check out these Amazon discount codes. The best part is that these codes don’t have an expiration date!
