Shopbot and (sort of) cashback site

Being new to the forum, these might have both been mentioned before, but I'm all for contributing, so thought I'd best share this anyway:
I was just reading the Internet Shopping: Cutting Edge Time & Money Saving Techniques page and noticed that the two sites I use nearly all the time weren't included.
As regards shopbots, I personally steer clear of Kelkoo and similar sites because I don't like the site designs and feel like I'm always being marketed to. I use the Froogle UK service from Google, which is of course free, and clutter-free. It's recently undergone a small revamp and is so easy to use.
A quick tip with shopbots - they work best I find with product numbers if you have them.
My other piece of advice regarding cashback click-through sites is for Nectar Card owners. I frequently use shops like B&Q, Play.com, Firebox.com, The White Company and EbayUK. I found out that using Nectar eStores online you can click-through from the Nectar site and earn Nectar points at these stores too! There's even a shopbot style search which will find things from the participating shops.
I hope this helps. Save on!
