My tool/site of choice is woot.com. I remember first finding woot.com in 2006 and back then, all they would sell was one item per day. There were no wines or t-shirts, it was just one item per day, and if it was a good item, then you had to act fact because once it was gone it was gone. I had a boss who I turned on to woot.com, and every morning I would get an email or she would call my desk and ask if I had looked at woot yet that morning.
Since they have added the alcohol and the section where they sell the second string items that didn't sell, the site doesn't hold the same excitement it once did. I have to admit I do still check woot.com everyday, but rarely do I travel around the site. I always check for the thrill of the main item and how many they have, how many they've sold and how many are left. I have purchased some very cool stuff from woot.com and consider this one of the benefits of Web 2.0. Commerce has become user friendly and how people can make purchases in such a vast variety of ways has made it fun to shop online at the sites that may be a little off the beaten path.
