How would you like to go to dinner or shopping for just pennies? It is possible!
All you have to do is log on to DFWbids.com - it's kind of like an auction online. "There's Gamestop, CVS, you can even get a pre-paid Visa card," said Tammy Smith who uses the site.
You can bid on all the popular places at unbelievably good deals. "$50 Wal-Mart card for a penny," Smith said.
You heard right - and Smith didn't even have to leave the comfort of her own house. "You join the auction, then you can bid as many times as you want," she said.
That will cost you a one-time fee of three bucks, which is how the site owner makes his money.
Once you're in, you can bid every 30 seconds. "After a while you start to recognize the names of the people you are trying to fight with," Smith said.
The auctions only last an hour or less. The highest bidder wins, but if you're lucky you just might get a chance at the "penny buy." "The first time, I think I started at a busier time of day and I didn't win," Smith said. "The second day, I signed on first thing in the morning."
After answering two simple questions like 1 plus 3, Smith was able to take home that $50 Wal-Mart card for one cent. "I thought I'd get a $50 card for $20 or $30, that would still be good, but the penny buy is the most exciting way to win," Smith said.
Of course after paying three dollars to enter the auction times two - since she didn't win on the first try, plus the $5 shipping fee and the one cent for the card - it really cost Smith a total of 11 dollars and one cent. But in these tough economic times she says, it's still a great deal. "I'll definitely try it again, I actually still have some credits," she said.
To help people save money is exactly why the owner says he started the site.
This month, you're going to get some even better deals, every Thursday they're doing the "pay your bills" contest where you can win a $100 or $125 gift card!
