Slickdeals is increasingly becoming less about actual deals and more about whatever their advertising partners want to promote.

Excuse the ignorance but how is a five cent savings on a bottle of soy sauce worthy of the front page? If I go to Wegmans right now I guarantee I can find condiments on sale for more than $0.05 off.

I'm not a troll who complains and I know these kinds of comments usually get downvoted, but seeing stuff like this really makes me roll my eyes when I think of the kind of legitimate sales Slickdeals used to feature 5+ years ago.

I agree , why is this front page ? How is this a deal? I'm sure it's good but it's not a deal

Ponzu is not soy sauce! It's Ponzu!

I was going to say the exact same thing. It may have soy sauce in it, but they are nothing alike.

I suggest Marukan Yuzu Ponzu, if you can find it, over this one. Much better taste. https://www.marukan-usa.com/produ...zu-citrus/

I haven't tried the Marukan one, but I prefer the Mitsukan Ajipon brand over the Kikkoman one. I think the Kikkoman one is the most widely available one out of the three brands.

Kikkoman's regular Ponzu sauce is ok, very much like soy sauce with a dash of citrus. The Chili Ponzu sauce is much better imo.

How is this a deal? This has to be a joke. 5 cents off?

Ponzu is soy sauce with a strong hint of vinegar. Not sure what Pon means but zu definitely means vinegar.

So this particular deal is soy sauce with vinegar and citrus juice.

completely agree. these front page "deals" are diluting what used to be a much greater deal site.

I know Amazon tells customers the S&S price will fluctuate and update based on the price of the item, but it clearly does not, as I had this item already in a shipment, and they were going to charge me the full price. Easy to remove and re-add at the new price, but seems like S&S is just there to run the long con on pricing.
