Today I try to help you (and me) overcome an addiction to online deals sites using some techniques that are supposed to work. You know, the ones like Woot, Slickdeals, Steam, Amazon, Living Social, Groupon, etc.
Let's see how it goes!

You have steam!?
How come you have 11,000 subs but 500 views?
Don't have internet. It's foolproof!
Oh Nate, you and your codeine hat.
It does all the talking.
Gmail filter to send all the reminder emails to the archives. I'm down to just The Clymb, after a serious Groupon/Amazon/REI type issue.
But it's too much fun having smiley face amazon boxes that you didn't even remember one-click ordering from your 10 page wishlist at 3:00 in the morning a few nights ago show up on your doorstep.
hey nate!
i found the official twitter page for mydamnchannel but it seems that you don't have one for just okaynate….you should make one!
p.s. i hope you feel better!!
…and then I came back and watched the entire video
It's ok I saw this comment so I RAN AWAYYY
Oh man, community-sourced deals on Woot is the best and worst thing to ever happen to my bank account.
My friend got a pocket projector once.
How lost it.
Yeah, they weren't kidding when they named that, as attested by a baby bottle drying rack, six identical copies of editing software for a Disney Flix video camera and a scanner just big enough for receipts. I got 6 bags over two years and have probably gotten the most use from the random hdmi cables and usb hubs. It does feel nice to donate brand new things to Goodwill though.
just got a large paycheck and wiped out a lot of it in one online shopping spree…but in all fairness it had been at least 6 months since I bought myself something new.
I wish youtube would load this video for me 🙁 I have seen the commercial video in the front 4 times now and it loads fine each time. I have also watched 4 other videos just fine but this one still stops… plays a little… stops… plays a little… stops… plays a little 🙁
Guess I will try later.

I only ever managed one Bag of Cr4p, and in it was spices, a breastmilk pump and one of those damn screaming Woot monkeys!
Glad you like them!
Woot! helped me quit by becoming too popular. I used to haunt the woot-offs for days waiting for the Bag of Cr@p, but it got to the point where, even if I saw it posted and clicked immediately, the server would already be down. About a year ago the frustration finally trumped the hope of a good deal and I quit the site entirely.
I only recently discovered you on youtube and I just want to say I'm really enjoying your video's. So very funny!
Nate my friend it's all about good ole fashioned self control ….but unfortunately I don't have any of that so I shop…shop….shop…O that reminds me there's something on Ebay I want to buy gotta go : )
Ideas? I sure do have some!
Cover your laptop and computer with wasps. Or alive bees with cranky faces and eyebrows drawn on them. (See, bees die when they sting so wasps will be the better choice, but cranky looking bees might work, but if you've managed to draw cranky faces on a bunch of bees then maybe you might like bees and they obviously don't mind.)
… you never said to leave good/practical ideas. 😛
