Use your RSS feed reader and subscribe to the daily deal sites. I use Google but you can use any feed reader you like. I subscribe to about 5 different sites and find some awesome deals. I will do a sticky about using the readers and feeds later today for those that don't know about them. It only takes a few minutes everyday to scan them and you get lots of specials and coupons.

I use Google so that is the one I will give the info on. Go to Google (http://www.google.com) and sign up for an account if you don't have one already. You can also make IGoogle your home page as they have all kinds of cool gadgets you can add but you don't have to.

Now you have your account, look up at the top of the page for the Reader link. Click on that to go to the feed reader. There you can add folders for different topics, read your feeds and more.

I have tons of folders set up because I skim over about 300 feeds everyday. You can do that also. You go down your list of feeds and when you find a title that you want to read more on, just click on it. You can also click on the article title to go to the website.

Now to get feeds. I will use CheapCheap (http://www.cheapcheapcheap.com) for an example. Click on the link I made for you to go to their site, scroll down the right side until you see the orange RSS feed button. Click on it. On the right side it will say, add to Google reader. Click on that and it will add the feed to your reader and take you there where there is a dropdown menu to add it to whatever category folder you want. All your feeds will be on the left side of the screen.

Make sure you click on the "add to reader button" and not the Google homepage button!

Go on to the next site you want to keep track of and do the same. The orange RSS button is a universal symbol for the feeds. Once you subscribe to a feed, every time a site or blog updates you will get it on your feed. It makes keeping up with all the news and stuff very easy.

I think I covered everything. If you need help just let me know. :)
