The Discount Dude is going to be undergoing some changes in the near future.

The worsening economy is affected many of us personally, it has certainly affected The Dude.

In the near future, I'm going to be drastically altering the content of the blog, and eventually, the web site. Things like the best deals on golf clubs don't really seem important when it's a struggle to feed and cloth your family.

So.....I'm going to be dropping a lot of categories, and focus more on things that people need, and would appreciate a good deal on.

Feel free to reply to this post and let me know what you're interested in having available. I want to focus on goods and services that are closer to necessities in life. Things like eye glasses, clothing, even pet medications. If it's important enough to enough people, I'll keep or add it as a category.

I appreciate the time you've all taken visiting the site and the blog, and I look forward to hearing from you in the future.

Keepit is online backup done right - simple, safe and automatic. It has never been easier to secure your precious digital belongings.
