Here’s a list of some of the other sites that offer big deals:

• BuyWithMe
• CityDeals
• Tippr
• Yipit
• GoodNews

There are some sites you have to request an invitation from, like Ideeli, Gilt Groupe and Rue La La which offers more high-end brands of clothing and accessories, but there’s no harm in checking them out!

Wouldn’t it be great if there was a website that’s sole purpose is to inform the masses of incredible savings on the internet?

Oh wait, it already exists. Yes!

The site is called DealNews.com and they work hard to bring the latest and greatest price cuts to hit the web. Today alone there have been 137 new deals posted. The deals include technology items, stuff for macs, kids items, home goods, and for a limited time only, a back to school section. For really cool stuff that usually goes under the radar, you have to check out the Editor’s Picks page.

61 destinations. One month. If I weren’t already taking a trip then I would have a list of places I’d like to visit. 4, one for each weekend.

First things first, I’d visit my buddy in L.A.,where he just moved. Help him tear up the town for a week and then head to Aruba, where I would listen to the Beach Boys and drink Tequila Sunrises into the early morning. After that, I’d want some culture, so I’d head to Bogota, and then head back to the states once my budget reached the halfway point. I’d only go to places I haven’t been, which means Pittsburgh, currently undergoing a kind of renaissance, and Portland, ME, my rival city, since my old home was Portland, Ore., the real Portland, where I’m actually headed during the interval.

Guess I‘ll wait till 2011 to be a jet setter.

Sometimes when you go on vacation, you want to spoil yourself and stay in a hotel that’s a little bit out of your price range. Or, you want to get a good deal on a rental car or flight but don’t have the time to check every car company or airline website to compare prices.

That’s where Priceline.com comes in. Priceline allows you to book flights, hotel rooms, car rental and attractions, all in the one place. Priceline is great when you can be flexible about dates, destinations and hotels, because that flexibility will help you widen your search and find the best deals. Keep in mind, however, that once you’ve made a reservation through Priceline.com, you cannot refund your booking under any circumstances.

Priceline.com is particularly handy for when you need to book a hotel. You can book hotels at the price listed by Priceline, or you can make a bid, enter in your credit card details, and wait for an answer. Bidding is great because you can find yourself scoring great deals – provided no one bids higher than you. You may find yourself staying in 5-star luxury for the price of a 3-star motel.

If you live in New York and you love the tennis, then you’ll no doubt be hanging out for the 2010 US Open at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Flushing Meadows from August 30 to September 12. And if you’re on a budget, that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy the action live on the court.

You can score yourself a bird’s eye view of world-class players in Arthur Ashe Stadium for as little as $45 a seat for day and night sessions during the first week. And it actually pays to turn out to see the tennis early in the tournament as that’s when some of the tightest, most exiting matches are generally played (don’t forget that the longest tennis match in history, at 11 hours and 70–68 in the fifth set, was a first round match at Wimbledon 2010). Grand slam finals are notorious for being short, one-sided affairs.

The court on Arthur Ashe Stadium is being ripped up and fully replaced this summer, only for the second time in the history of the stadium. So book your cheap seats online at USOpen.org now to see great tennis on the brand-new playing surface.

A room at the MAve.

Finding a hotel deal in NYC is no easy task. Even staying at a Holiday Inn can run you three hundo a night. The best option is to find something in the middle. A bunch of hip new hotels have opened up recently that make sleeping in the city affordable (relatively). Here are the top 5:

1. Distrikt: This fun hotel is centrally located near the Port Authority and each floor has its own New York themed floor.

2.Eventi: Chelsea livin’ ain’t cheap, but this spot makes up for it, with a big gym, a spa, and dog and cat massages. This is an upscale hotel in introductory guise, which it takes off in October, when the $249 a night room becomes $399. Get it while you can!

3. Fashion 26: A rooftop bar is opening this month, and right next to F.I.T., the location isn’t bad. Best Dressed Guest contest winners get free room upgrades.

4. Hotel Indigo: A small gym, rooftop bar, and floral theme are sprightly, and a business center makes this cute hotel nice, but not great, at $269.

5. The MAve: The real deal buster at $179, this hotel is on the east side, and close to Madison Park. Coffee and danish are served gratis, but the room is a little cramped.

The Brooklyn Museum of Art is often compared with its Manhattan counterparts as a lesser more populist museum. In truth, the museum has a superb permanent collection, and in order to lure more visitors is offering deals.

Every First Saturday, the museum offers free admission, along with a wine and beer cash bar, sandwiches, salads and live entertainment. The party lasts until 11 p.m. but every other Saturday, the museum closes at 6. You may want to get there early – sometimes the event fills up and tickets are necessary.

Currently the museum has a Kiki Smith exhibition, along with an exhibit on American high fashion. Starting Friday, they will feature an Andy Warhol: The Last Decade, a vastly productive period for the artist where he experimented with the screened image, and pieces of a grander scale than normal.

Although the Brooklyn Museum has taken heat in the past for trying to appeal to a crowd through more mainstream exhibitions, like the popular rock photography show that ended in January, the permanent collection – with rarities from Egypt and the Incan Andes, along with masterworks from the Hudson Valley school are always on display and shouldn’t be missed.

For the true deal hunter, with a suggested $10 admission, this museum is often overlooked and underrated.
