Sure, I do this. A lot of stuff people buy is often a lot cheaper with promotions. Just the other day, I bought a $600 set of tires for $300-380 (depending on whether or not I remember to do the mail in rebate). That alone is well worth the few clicks it took to filter mails from that list out of my inbox and into a label for car-related marketing.
I have a couple of broad categories for these filters like car stuff, computer stuff, other-hobby-related-stuff and of course clothing, and just take a look at the appropriate one when I need or want something. Takes virtually no time, and saves a lot of money.
Of course I'm not gonna lie, I do end up buying things that I wouldn't have bought otherwise by doing this. But some of those things are pretty cool, too. :) I do have a few more cheap ARM boards of various types than I can probably use, though.
