Hunting

The past couple of months, I have seen my husband plot, plan, and prepare like nothing I have seen since he was finishing his mechanical engineering degree.  Every detail was planned out and every aspect of the event he was preparing for was covered.  In the end, he found success and all of that preparation paid off in the form of three deer's worth of meat in our freezer.
I am also a hunter, but not of anything that breathes.  I hunt deals.  Seriously, I am wired to patiently wait until I know that I have found the best deal for whatever it is that I am currently looking for.  I have been trained in this type of hunting from a young age by my mom, who is also a deal hunter.
Call it frugality, call it too much time on my hands, or call it some aspect of being female.... I love to hunt for a deal.
When I hunt from home, Craigslist is my best friend, as are other social networking sites where I can bargain with friends.  I also am a fan of overstock.com, 6pm.com, and amazon on a good day.  When I hunt outside, I love to go to thrift stores, Big Lots, antique malls, and yard/ garage sales.  The arrival of spring and summer usually mean the end of the cold and are welcomed as such by most people.  I can't wait for spring so that people will finally start posting "yard sale" signs and displaying their goodies for me to dig through.  
Locally, I like to hit up the Goodwill, the consignment shop on the North side of town, the flea market on the North side of town, and random hole in the walls that people have open in a barn on their property.
So..... my husband prepared to hunt and had success.  I have been trained in hunting by my mother and her friends and feel like the proof of my success is in the money that we save and still have nice stuff.  What do you like hunting?
