Sometimes it’s hard to sift through the millions of websites out there to find the fun, unusual, creative, and especially, the useful ones. And word of mouth can only take you so far. Well, leave it to Gadget Teaser to give you a hand in your search. Once a week, we’ll highlight one of our favorite sites that not everyone knows about. I like to think that we here at Gadget Teaser are performing a public service for you… the avid gadget blog reader the general public.

This week’s Sweet Site of the Week is: dealcatcher.com
I can honestly tell you that I never miss a deal or a coupon or a discount when I purchase online. And I can also honestly tell you that, for me, a very good portion of those deals, coupons, and discounts are found on dealcatcher.com.
Dealcatcher.com scours the internet for deals on everything from PCs to flowers and from clothes to diamonds. There is nothing dealcatcher.com doesn’t cover. Take, for instance, Dell. Did you know that Dell always has a sale going on? No really, always. As I’m writing this, dealcather.com informed me that Dell has savings of 15 – 25% on desktops, notebooks, and all-in-ones. Target has $5 off a $50 purchase. Old Navy has free shipping on orders over $75. There’s stuff like this all over the site.
But dealcatcher.com is more than just sale items and discounts. They also have printable coupons, Sunday ads, rebates, and a price compare engine. I used price compare to check the price of the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W300 from this week’s Top 3. Instantly I got the bottom line price (total price plus tax plus shipping) from 7 different stores.
Now you know why dealcatcher.com is our Sweet Site of the Week. I like to save money, and I think you do too.

And now, our first Sweet Site of the Week: SeatGuru.com
SeatGuru.com is not a site you will use everyday. However, when you do, you will be thankful. Trust me!
Next time you have travel scheduled, check out SeatGuru.com before selecting your seats. Just bring up the website, find the carrier you booked your ticket with, and select the aircraft you will be flying on. Unless you’re a part of the mile-high club, this is when the magic happens. You immediately get a graphical representation of all the seats on your plane along with a guide on which seats are good, and which to avoid. You can also hover over seats to get more details about why they are good, poor, or have mixed reviews.
On a personal note, had I know about this site before my 9 hour flight to Sweden a while back, I would have realized that the exit row seat I selected was right next to the bathroom and that for the entire 9 hours I was bumped by just about every person on the plane on the way to the bathroom and for about 90% of those individuals I had to let them know how to open the bathroom door because it would stick a little bit and they would stand there for a good 30 seconds messing with the door and causing a commotion if I didn’t say anything. Did I mention that I couldn’t sleep because of all of this? I’m not at all bitter though. I just wish I had known about SeatGuru.com earlier.
So there you have it. SeatGuru.com is the Sweet Site of the Week; because not all exit rows are created equal.
