The Bargain Hunter on Wise Bread

I'm the guest host on the personal finance Web site Wise Bread this week. That means all week long I'll be answering questions that folks submit on the site. You can check out what we're talking about and ask a question yourself. (Look for the green "post a reply" button.)

To get the forum rolling Wise Bread moderator Lynn posed these questions for me:

A lot of us are bargain hunters but you actually get to do it for a living. What are the best perks of your job? Are there any hidden downsides? I imagine it might be pretty hard to not buy anything when you are seeing great deals all the time.

I'll be posting my answer soon. Hope you will get involved in the forum. If you are new to Wise Bread and want to ask a question, register on the site.
