In praise of Fatwallet

Ian, one of my colleagues, who is the consumate deal person for technical equipment recently steered me towards the Fatwallet.com site - this is a site where would-be purchasers can check out what the best sales deals and offers are and where users can exchange information about coupons and special deals. I have been checking the site for a good price on Dell flat panel monitors recently. The Dell UltraSharp 1905FP seems to be a good piece of equipment and we have decided to get some for the office when the price is right.

Yesterday I struck gold, someone posted a coupon code on the site for a 40% price reduction and low and behold it worked. So I snapped up 6 of these beauties for our use at Infostat. Now we will all have dual flat panel monitors to ease us through our working day.

The normal list price for this Dell monitor is $529 and we got them for $317 each - what a deal. Dell kicked in free shipping and we got all 6 for just over $1904. You can't beat that. Now all I need is a similar deal for a new PC at home and all will be well with the world.
