August Stats & September News.
Amazon Warehouse has some great deals on grocery products but you have to have fast fingers as stock is low. Our Amazon Warehouse Thread has 1365 subscribers and is a great way to score some of these deals.

August 2023
The Milk Man for posting the most voted deal last month, 6 Months Free Trial of Uber One Membership with PayPal, which gets you free delivery & exclusive perks. Great for those who have not had Uber One previously.
BargainsGrabber for posting the most clicked deal in August, Google Pixel 7 $499.50 from Telstra — a deal that I have personally taken advantage of, twice. Even with Pixel 8 announcing soon, I doubt the price of existing model will drop this low.
TruePursuit for posting the most number of competitions in August. He has posted 303 competitions (amost 10 comps a day) with vote average of +6.42, most popular being Win a MG-1 Gaming PC from Maingear.
chickentaste for this most voted comment in August. Maybe we'll see this engraved on a spacecraft one day.
Congratulations to all the winners!
