People often ask me where I find my deals and I tell them, like a reporter covering any beat, I have a variety of sources. One of them is eaves dropping.

At an Ultimate Frisbee game the other night, another player mentioned she gets really good deals on athletic gear at Tennis Warehouse – and not just for playing tennis! Frisbee girl said they have great liquidation sales, free shipping and no tax. Oh really?

I had to check it out for myself. The regular-priced items on the homepage were nothing to write home about. A tiny sale button at the bottom of the site took me to a page that had women’s skorts for $20-$45 (orig. $40-$60). Hmmm, anything else?

Then I found the liquidation page. Women’s skorts, wicking tanks, and warm up pants, above, were $15 each. Nice!

On the men’s liquidation page I saw wicking T-shirts for $15, shorts for $20 and up, and warm up pants for as low as $15.

The free shipping deal is for orders over $75 and does not apply to cases of tennis balls, demo racquets, or backordered shipments. Not sure about the no tax deal as that may vary by state. You can also order over the phone by calling 800-8-TENNIS.  800-8-TENNIS. 1-800-8-TENNIS
