Here is a little tip for the Staff, Students, and Faculty here at Pitt. There are special deals available to anyone with a Pitt ID at local retailers, national chains, and online. The Human Resources website has information and coupons for places like Dell, Howard Hanna, The Men’s Warehouse, and others. The offers change so bookmark the hr link and check back often.

And students, you can add to your online arsenal of living on-the-cheap tools by looking for sites like craigslist, gunbroker, and especially for the online coupons. The bigger the site the bigger the deals and more selection. But Ebates is a great alternative to things like amazon and ebay since you don’t need to pay a fee to get the deal.

I was sold when I saw my favorite outdoors places like Dunham’s and Outdoor Superstore at ebates. I have always found my hard to find reloading supplies at those places (try to find reloading dies for .38 S&W at Wally’s or Gander). And now for an additional 5% off just for clicking, done deal for me.

The hard print media is going by the wayside and places like Ebates and others are where even the brick-and-mortar retailers are taking their advertising and sale dollars to generate traffic to their stores. Bad for newspapers, great for us.
