STELLAService College Shopping Guide

When it comes to college shopping, shopping online is a great way to save both time (you’ve only got a little bit left) and effort (because boy is it hot out!). By shopping at only sites STELLAService rated Elite and Excellent, you can be sure that behind the scenes is a customer-focused company eager to help get you and your family the best products.

So, to make things easier, we’ve crossed a college shopping guide with some of our best STELLA rated sites to bring you a complete college shopping guide of great items from the best sites. This is not an advertisement for these companies. Rather, all of the items were hand-picked by one of our STELLAService analysts who is still in college (and who wrote this from her dorm room). When you like an item you see, just click the recommendation- it will bring you right to the product page. We hope you enjoy the guide and enjoy the STELLA service you’ll discover.

Note: We can’t say whether each recommendation is the best price for that item available, even amongst other standout STELLA rated sites, since sales and promotions change so quickly. However, we intend for this guide to help suggest great places to start your online shopping in each category.

Top Daily Deal Websites

Good deals are like ice cream, everybody enjoys them.  So how would you react if we revealed that there are websites that not only serve up deals on a daily basis, but the deals are also for compelling items?  Wouldn’t that be akin to serving one mind-blowingly delicious flavor of ice cream at a ‘depth’s of the ocean’ low price each day?  Yes, it is.  As you read this, there are websites in the universe doing just that.  Below we’ve ranked three of our favorites.

1) Woot.com

The mother of all daily deal websites, Woot.com typically sells one item per day.  The item is usually electronic or gadget related.  In addition to Woot.com, there is Kids.woot.com (specializing in kids items) and Shirt.woot.com for t-shirt enthusiasts.

2) Midnightbox.com

Every day of the week, three new  deals are launched at Midnight Eastern Standard Time and run for a 24 hour period or until sold out.  The difference between this site and Woot is that if an item doesn’t sell out, you can still purchase it on their website.

3) Yugster.com

Y.U.G. = Yours Until Gone.  Hence, Yugster.com.  Yugster offers one item a day and once it’s gone, it’s gone for good.  The difference between Yugster and other daily deal sites is that you can register to become a ‘Yugster’. By becoming a Yugster you gain access to deal in advance of them being posted on the website.
