Quick on the draw

Being a smart consumer requires more than the ability to hold on to your wallet quite tightly. Obviously you want stuff, and have no qualms paying for good stuff, but don't want to ripped off by some obnoxious salesman who is fawning and sweating right in your face.

So let's take a look at iBood again. iBood do some great deals (and some no-so-great ones) but quite often the good deals are gone by the time you check the page, no matter how early you wake up. If you check the website you will see the time new items are posted at is midnight. What they don't tell you is that it is midnight in the Netherlands, i.e. eleven o'clock here. So as it is almost eleven now, let's see what they have:
