Kids Woot!!!

If you've never checked out www.Woot.com it's a great place to find cheap stuff! From their site:

"Woot offers a new deal every night at midnight Central time, in limited quantities at a discounted price. Only one product is available at any given time. If you want one, you click that big orange button that says I WANT ONE. When it sells out, or the next midnight rolls around, that deal is gone. No backorders, no rainchecks, no do-overs. And no, we don’t tell you what the next product is. What fun would that be?"


Now they offer www.kidswoot.com !!!

"Kids.Woot sells stuff for kids. By “stuff” we mean everything from carseats to apparel to educational toys & games to non-educational toys & games."
