Most deal sites are designed to waste your time

Coupon pages aren't built to save you money. They're built to keep you scrolling.


You've seen it: 40 codes, 3 expired, 1 that works if you spend $75 you weren't going to spend. That's not saving. That's a second job.


The filter I use before anything hits a list:


  • Would I buy this without a discount? If no, skip.

  • Does the cut beat $9 in the first month? If no, skip.

  • Can I use it in under 2 minutes? If no, skip.


That kills most "deals." What's left is groceries, travel, subscriptions, and the boring stuff that actually hits a bank account.


If your current system is a bookmarks folder of expired codes, you don't need more sources. You need a shorter list.
