Hustle Review – Find Coupons and Deals with Deal Locker

From time to time, Da Hustler will review new products and services on your behalf, to see if they measure up to be considered legitimate, or if they are just another fake hustle. Today I will be reviewing a site called Deal Locker.

Deal locker is a site that uses coupon codes and free online coupons to attract readers and advertisers to their site. At first glance, the site looks very basic, and navigation doesn’t jump right out at you. There are a LOT of links under the “find stores with coupon codes by category” and because of this I already feel like this is going to be a lot of work. Using the search feature, I tried to find a couple of stores such as Macy’s, Home Depot and Lowe’s. Surprisingly the site found coupons for Macy’s and Home Depot, but balked on Lowe’s. If it can’t find a coupon in the database, it does an eBay search and displays those related results which can include anything from coupons to gift cards. It’s kind of neat to be able to readily search for a specific store’s coupon, so I’ll give them credit there.

You can add a coupon to the database or search for specific stores using the links at the top of the page, but my favorite part of the site is the blog. This is where deals are highlighted, with a short description of how and where to get them. Also you will see more standard ‘blog’ features, such as Categories and the Archives. Here is where you will find pictures to go along with the specified deals, and it helps to spark the interest of the reader. I spent the most time on this page because the info was posted in a clear and concise manner. I like that.

Overall would I qualify this site as a hustle? Well, the interface needs some more tweaking, but the idea seems solid because Da Hustler loves to save a buck. Simply think of the stores you want to shop and save money on, then see if coupons exist in the database — takes only a minute or two of your time.

Hustler Spots A Deal: Free Chick-Fil-A

I saw this the other day, and I didn’t want to make people mad by posting a deal that didn’t last long, but since it’s still up and available, here you go!

One of my favorite restaurants is giving away free sandwiches and drinks to the first one million people who sign up for the coupon. If you have ever been there, you know the food is priced a little higher than other restaurants (a combo barely comes in at under $5), but the food is higher quality. Here’s your chance to get that same food for FREE!

It takes 6-8 weeks to get the coupon, so if your anything like me, you might just forget about it until you get it. But hey, what’s better than a free lunch while you’re out hustling? Enjoy!

Hustle Review: Cash In On Old Cell Phones

What do you do with your old cell phones? if they are new enough, Da Hustler tries to sell them online on eBay. If not, then I turn to craigslist. If I still have no dice then oftentimes I’ll just hang on to it by sticking it in some remote corner, file cabinet or in the back of a drawer. However, I just found out that there is a company that will pay you for your old cell phones!

Cell for Cash allows you to sell a cell phone to CellForCash.com and get paid! The prices for the phones vary, and just browsing through some of the listings, I would get anywhere from a couple of dollars to over $400 if I were to sell my old cell phone. The brand new phone that I won from the T-Mobile promotion only goes for $4! With prices like that, some may wonder “why bother at all?”

Think like a true hustler… to make some money!

I didn’t write this up as an actual hustle, but if you wanted to put the work in this could turn into one! Just think…place an ad for people to donate their old phones for you to disposed of them properly. Gather up all the phones, check the site to see how much you could get, then send the phones away! There is also a donation link if you want to donate your phones to a charity of your choice. I’d use this for the phones that either have no value or maybe when it gets close to tax time and you want more deductions.

CellForCash.com has a pretty good business model from what I can see, and using the service can buy you lunch or a day…or 365 days if you work it right!
