Trying to live a greener life can be a money-saver in many ways. But oftentimes it can be discouraging when you want to buy the greener version of a product and it is too expensive. On February 1, EcoSteal
launched to offer a chance to pick up new "green" products without the expense. For those of you familiar with Woot, think of it as a green version of Woot. Here is how it works.

EcoSteal sells one item at a time at a deeply discounted rate (they say 40-80% off retail value). This one item is sold on their website until they run out and then a new product is listed (unlike Woot which sells a new item daily). So if its a popular product and you don't go to the website early enough, you might miss out on that particular deal. There is a limit of 3 units per household. There are several ways to know what they are selling at the moment. You can visit their website, but then you have to keep checking back to figure out when a new deal is posted. You can sign up at their website to receive email alerts which I find to be very convenient. You can also follow their Twitter feed.

Here are some of the things they have sold at a discount so far:

• Belle Baby Carrier


• Kina Handmade Baby Booties


• Mountainsmith Digi Cam Case


• Meyer Well's Table


• Beckon's Organic Grace Women's cardigan

I'm excited to see what sort of deals will come up in the future and to be introduced to new green products and companies. It seems like a win-win situation for the companies and consumers - companies get some advertising and consumers get a great green deal!
