Recap of Some Oldies but Goodies
2008-05-19 23:25:00
Here are two oldies but goodies that I had written about last year but will mention them again this year since they are still going strong. You can get a free DVD, CD, or Video Game for signing up for a free account with BarterBee (you select what you want and there is a HUGE variety so everyone will find something they like). All this requires is giving your name/mailing address/email/etc… (no credit card information is ever needed). It takes 2 minutes of your time and you’ll get a nice freebie out of it. Barterbee is a site where people can trade their DVDs, CDs, Games with each other so after getting your freebie and using it you could trade it with another member and get something else out of it. Here’s the forum thread where people have discussed this freebie and you could see what some of them have gotten. If you use Google or Yahoo to search for things online then you may want to consider making the switch to Blingo. Blingo is a search engine (power...

How to Snag Items on Ebay for Excellent Prices
2008-05-15 16:54:00
Waffle makers are usually moderately priced, so if you’ve been waiting for one to go on a mini-sale here is your chance.  This waffle maker is marked down $6 from $19.99 to $13.99.  I would guess this is the lowest price you can find one unless a store is going out of business or dumping overstock merchandise.  You will have to pay shipping and handling unless your local store has any in stock and you can do an in-store pickup, or you add another item to get your order to at least $24 (orders of $24 or more ship free).  Now all we need is a sale on the Mrs. Butterworth syrup… I want to share two of my recent purchases on Ebay (because I got great deals) and also give a tip or two on how you can maybe score a great deal too.  You can see the picture below, I won 2 concert tickets for $0.99 cents (I had to pay $20 for overnight shipping since the concert was occuring in two days) and I won Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix HD DVD/Regular DVD combo for $7 ($...

How to Easily Make Copies of DVDs
2008-05-14 06:19:00
Disclaimer: I do not endorse or promote using this information to rent DVDs and make copies or to borrow your friends’ collections and copy them. According to US law that is illegal. If you ever had an interest in making copies of DVDs but didn’t know how, or you got held up by the protection they install in the DVDs nowadays I will share with you how you can get around this. First you will need a DVD burner. These are pretty standard with a lot of new computers nowadays, but if you have an older computer, or if by chance yours didn’t come with one don’t worry, you can pick one up for an affordable price nowadays. Go HERE and look for Item#:N82E16827151153. This is a Samsung 20X SATA DVD+/-RW Drive which costs a whopping $24.99 with free shipping. Ok, so now you have a DVD burner and we’re all on the same page now. Now you need decoding software to remove that protection that Hollywood loves to install on DVDs. My recommendation is picking up Any...

Giant Slim Jim Deal (YumYumYum)
2008-05-13 19:38:00
If you’re a fan of the Slim Jim (like me) then you’ll be hopping for this deal, pick out any 3 boxes of the 24 count BIG Jim Slims and add them to your cart, you can see the selection choices in this message thread. After you add the 3 boxes then use code: saveslim at checkout. This will knock $25 off the price resulting in a final price of approx. $25 which I think is pretty hot for 72 of the Big Sticks! (I know my local gas station charges $1.25 for one).  I couldn’t resist and ordered 2 Tobasco and 1 Nacho for myself which should hold me over for a few months (I hope!). Any fan of The King of Queens is going to love this deal… you can pick up the complete series DVD Boxed set for $104.99 shipped. There are 9 seasons so that works out to under $12 a season. Here’s the product review: “The hilarity of the Heffernan household entertained viewers for nine whole seasons. The popular sitcom stars Kevin James as Doug Heffernan a UPS delivery man...

Get Lost - Today Only!
2008-05-12 17:28:00
There is a 1 day sale on Seasons 1-3 of Lost , today only you can pick them up for $79.99 with free shipping. Now paying $27 for a season seems like an expensive price (at least to me) but compared to the regular price which is anywhere from $35-45 per season, the $79.99 for all three seasons is a nice discount. I’m a HUGE Lost fan and would definitely recommend this series to everyone. Season 4 is currently airing each week on TV right now so by the time you finish watching the first 3 seasons I’m sure season 4 will be out on DVD. If by chance you plan on traveling and want to watch Lost from the road there is a nice deal on a 7″ (refurb) Portable DVD player today, $53.95 + shipping. Here’s the product specs for you: Polaroid 7″ Swivel Screen Portable DVD Player PDM-0752, Built-in Dolby Digital decoder Swivel screen design for 180-degree viewing.

Harvard Hockey Rod Table for 70% Off ($99.99 shipped!)
2008-05-11 17:26:00
Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers out there!!! This is a great deal so even though I mentioned another hockey table a few days ago I can’t help but mention this one today. This is the Harvard 7 foot hockey rod table and the reason I’m talking about it is the price! Everywhere else online this hockey table is selling for $350 or more, and here it is selling for $98.99! Throw in the fact that shipping is $0.97 cents (yes, 97 cents for an 80 pound package) and you cannot go wrong. If you are familiar with the Harvard brand name you know it is high end quality. In case you want to make sure this is as good of a deal as I say, check it out at Dick’s Sporting Goods Site for $349.99 + $50 for shipping or Sports Authority for the same price! I would venture a guess that this will sell out quickly once the word spreads around so just keep that in mind, if you snooze you lose. If you were planning on driving somewhere that was a few hours away you may want ...

Buying Groceries Online Just Got a Whole Lot Cheaper
2008-05-10 20:07:00
If you like the wholesale clubs like Costco, Sams, BJ’s, etc… then you’d definitely like the Amazon’s Grocery discount section. Each month Amazon offers different promotions on bulk items so if you’re the type to pay less per unit and stock up then you’ll be a big fan of this. To make this even better then is a limited promotion that you can stack ON TOP of the original discounts! Let me give you all the information: First, you can find the original monthly deals On This Page. Now you can go onto This Page which shows you items that are eligible for $10 off a $25 order. Also, if you order $25 you get free shipping. Let me give you an example of how you can successfully stock these promotions to save yourself some cash! There is a Mr. Coffee 12 oz 6 pack whose original price is $40.80. It is on sale for $29.14. This item is part of the April grocery deals so using code: MRCOFF45 allows you to take 30% off the price (which is approx. an $8...

Charge Up Those Wii Controllers on the Cheap
2008-05-10 03:00:00
If you have a Wii and you have multiple controllers then you may be able to use a dual charger. The charger is $8.99 (+$3 for shipping) HERE, and I’m going to go out on a limb and say that is a pretty good price considering one of my favorite sites Amazon.com has it selling for $26.99 (see here). If you could use a comforter set then now may be the time to take a gander as there is a pretty good sale going on. You can find out about the sale Here where the prices are starting at $10 and up. The picture to the left is of the “intersection comforter set” which is $15 right now. No idea how long this sale will last so if you are in the market make sure to jump on this as soon as you have the chance. There is a coupon for $10 off an XBOX game at Target. You can find a copy of the coupon here. I cannot verify that the coupon works, I found it floating around the web and not on Target’s site, so if someone happens to use it I’d appreciate it...

Are You Prepared for an Emergency?
2008-05-08 16:17:00
It’s always a good idea to have some sort of emergency kit in your car, most kits can’t solve every emergency that may occur but at least you’ll have an option to check out if a situation arises and the price is right on this kit!  Here is the kit which is selling for $9.99 with free shipping.  But, if you use Google Checkout to complete your purchase then $10 will be knocked off your purchase price resulting in our favorite word…F-R-E-E!  There’s also a decent deal on some storage, the Calvary 500GB External hard drive can be yours for $79.99 with free shipping, but like the deal above you can use Google Checkout to knock $10 off the price. Here is the link to the item. My my how hard drive prices have plummeted (going against the grain of everything else in this economy which costs an arm and a leg). So if you’re in the market for a hard drive this may be the time to pick it up because I don’t foresee these prices dropping much f...

Find a Free Night at a Hotel
2008-05-07 21:28:00
I wrote about this a while ago, but I just used it again the other day so I figured it would be a good time to write about this again for those who have forgotten about it and for any new readers…  Do you want to stay in a hotel for a night for free? Well it is possible and I just got myself a free night stay in NYC again (the regular price on the room was $289).  I will still have to pay taxes when I stay there (you can’t avoid that) but I am saving myself almost a cool $300.  And it took me literally 20 minutes of my time.  Now it may take you longer or it may take you shorter, it just depends if you’re having a lucky day or not.  Here’s how you can do it: You go HERE (this site is WyndamRewards.com formerly known as TripRewards.com) and you find a hotel that you want to stay in.  You must select the hotel, the day, and the type of room (meaning a Queen bed room, or two doubles, etc…).  See what the final price (including taxes) will be.  ...

2008-05-06 16:22:00
If you’re a fan of TV on DVD box sets then you’ll enjoy this sale here!
