FruCall
This is way cool. Want to be sure you're getting a good deal when you're shopping? Stop by and register at FruCall. When you spot an item you like, call 1-888-363-7822 (you have a cell phone, right?) . Type the UPC of the product you're interested in and Frucall will tell you the best online prices for that item. If you like the online price better, you can buy it directly from the online merchant while you're on the phone. Or buy it later, if you'd rather. Your info is stored so you can check it at home later - and you can even leave yourself "voicenotes."

www.boddit.com is a metadeals search engine.
Searches Dealcatcher, Fatwallet, Slickdeals, Techbargains, Dealnews, Bensbargains, Anandtech, and more at the same time so you can find the best deal.
I received this email in regard to this post, and with permission from the writer, I am sharing it with you. It is information about another shopping site - sounds interesting & I thought you might want to read about it....I also want to point out that it's smart marketing to be monitoring blog postings that cover your space! Good job, Scott!

...I would like to introduce you to DealMine.com's shopping innovations. We have received a lot of press lately including: San Jose Mercury News, New York Daily News, the Wichita Eagle, Biloxi Sun Herald, FoxNews.com, NBC4 in LA and this clip from NBC10 on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hU0CRvYitms.
If you are not familiar with us, DealMine.com aggregates discounts and rewards from AAA, AARP, American Express, Visa, Upromise, Ebates, Union Plus (AFL-CIO), Delta SkyMiles, American AAdvantage and many more and matches them up to comparison shopping technology like this search on this Samsung HDTV to help people see how they can save more based on their affiliations. Most people don't realize that AAA members (all 60mm of them) can save 10% off at Target.com and Amex cardholders can save 10% off at Overstock.com - this is the transparency we are bringing into comparison shopping results.
Our concept, from a consumer perspective, is that as popular as comparison shopping is (used by 60mm people per week), the information they provide is limited to price, tax and shipping info and that does not provide all the information a consumer needs to make a purchasing decision. For example, the average consumer has nine credit cards, belongs to four rewards programs and at least one association or club (sources: FairIssac and Colloquy) all of which have member discounts/rewards/benefits and have not been aggregated anywhere before in a way that makes them easy to use. This is the void we are filling and we are always looking to add more affinity programs to our directory.
We recently announced our wireless site which makes these discounts and rewards searchable from your phone. Via our wireless site, travelers can search on the best deal for them and apply them at the point of sale when checking into a hotel or renting a car. You will see in our travel area (under Categories drop down) that we have over 100 car rental deals and hundreds of hotel deals classified by brand and parent company. Similarly, shoppers in retails stores like Macy's, Nordstrom, etc can search and see if they should be shopping online to buy the same thing but earn rewards or get discounts online. In addition, you can bookmark your favorite deals to myDealMine and also store your frequent flier numbers (or other member numbers) there b/c, if you are like us, you never have them when you need them. Bear in mind that registration for myDealMine can only happen when you are at your computer because we don't think registering forms on your phone is very user-friendly.
The concept for DealMine.com is based on my experience running S&H greenpoints (of Green Stamps fame) online sales and marketing, where we saw a significant overlap of membership across online rewards programs. Our goal is to help people figure out the best program to use when they are shopping for anything.
