A lot of times these sorts of sites get their data from a database that is maintained by a third party.

 

For instance, my friend has a website where you can book hotel rooms.  It has deals on hotels all across the country.  But he doesn't get information from every hotel site or anything like that, he just pays this other company to use a database that they have put together with the information from all of those hotels.  When the hotels want to add or change a deal, they just contact that company, the company changes their database, and then every website that uses their database updates automatically.

 

Anyone who is willing to pay can use this database for their site, which is why so many hotel deals sites have the same deals listed.

 

I'm assuming that this site uses something similar.

No, unfortunately not.  That would be in the PHP source code, which we can't see.  You could always try contacting the owner of the site - if they're not too worried about competition maybe they'd be willing to tell you what they're using.
