Coupon codes and such on Twitter can be ephemeral so you often have to jump on them quickly. To the rescue comes Thrift.it, a new site that lets you scrounges through Twitter for the latest deals.

Just type in a search term and it returns deals from both individuals and companies. Additionally, the deals can be up or down-voted by the community. You have to wait a touch or two for your searches to process, but otherwise it’s pretty good.

Do you leverage Twitter to search for savings? What techniques do you use? Sound off in the comments.
