The web site idea for today seeks to replicate the money-making venture done by Adam Sandler’s character in the movie Punch Drunk Love.  If you haven’t seen it, there is a coupon for some free airline miles when you buy certain food products.  The character notices that some of the products are very inexpensive, and cost much less than the value of the miles.  From what I can gather from the movie, the coupon was designed for some kind of microwaveable dinner, but also works for little pudding cups that are individually scanned.

I’m still researching, but I hear that the scheme is actually based on a true story!

Wouldn’t it be nice to have some kind of web site to help find opportunities like this?  Sure there are many web sites out there with coupon codes for all sorts of things, but this could be about more than saving money.  This site could use the latest in artificial intelligence to detect coupon and discount opportunities that actually make money.

In the movie, the character ends up with thousands of dollars worth of pudding.  If the opportunity for profit was not so spectacular, this might end up being a problem.  What if the profit margin was only a few cents per item you purchased?  You might end up with a warehouse full of stuff you don’t want before you make any money!  So, if you incorporate some sort of process to get rid of the goods, this might vastly increase the number of money making opportunities.  Every time I see some interview with a super-shopping housewife, they talk about how with coupons and rebates, something in their cart ends up being free.  So, why do they only buy 1 or two of them?  If there exists a way to get something for free, you should be cleaning out every store you can find!
