Create Affiliate websites - What do you use?

Hey all,

What do you use to make your affiliate websites? I've been using Joomla for a littel while and WP on and off. Results are pretty decent. My personal preference is towards Joomla but the plugins I usually need that are decent are paid for which get's tiresome and expensive.

Also how do you scrape data for your products that you sell? Simple copy n paste from some thing like amazon.

Thanks for all you input it is highly valued.
