I hear that buying from Dell is like buying a pizza, in that the 'real price' is the coupon/sale price (since they have promotional bargains so often.) Don't buy a pizza w/o a coupon and don't pay regular price at Dell. This is what I was told after buying a relatively expensive Dell laptop at work.

If you're not in a hurry, you could sign up for Dell's mailing list (they mail out offers a lot) or just drop into the website every few days, I suppose - must be some way to track their bargains.
