Logitech diNovo Edge Keyboard 65% Off
2008-05-27 16:10:00
The Logitech diNovo Edge keyboard is a high end keyboard (by high end I mean it costs $200 clams!!!).  I think $200 is a lot for a keyboard (which I normally buy on sale for $5) but in reading the customer reviews it seems like customers were satisfied paying this price for the keyboard (customer reviews were on average 4.5 out of 5 stars).  I still think $200 is too much so let’s knock that down.  First off, there is an instant $80 rebate which brings the price down from $199.99 to $119.99 (link Here).  That still seems like a lot, but throw in a $50 rebate and your final price is $69.99 which seems a little more affordable to me.  Here are the highlights of the product from what I’ve read - the keyboard is wireless, there is touch screen scrolling (via the circle pad on the bottom right of the keyboard), and the buttons are supposed to be extremely user friendly when typing.  The stand is used to charge the keyboard (it doesn’t stay in the stand when you&rs...

Laptop Cooler for dirt Cheap!
2008-05-24 19:25:00
If you have a laptop and don’t have a laptop cooler you may want to think about picking one up to keep the laptop from overheating. There is the Antec Cooler (which I personally have and it works very well) for $28.05… but until May 27th there is a $20 rebate for it which drops the price to $8.05!!! Combine that with free shipping and it’s a steal! The way it works is you plug it into your USB port and away you go…     There have been many new items added to the Amazon Grocery discount list which I wrote about earlier this month.  This is the offer where you select $25 of groceries and $10 will be taken off by using code: MAYGRCCL .  There are currently 424 items for sale with this promotion so there should be something for everyone. Freebie of the Day: The freebie today is a free tape measure, thanks goes out to Pattikay who found this deal. This looks like the kind of tape measure a seamstress would use and not a construction worker (...

How to Get Things Almost Free at Walgreens!
2008-05-22 16:39:00
This Friday only you can save $5 on a $20 purchase at Walgreen’s using this coupon.  If you do not stack coupons and take advantage to drastically reduce your cost you should check out here and here.  The first link is a little tutorial on how to take advantage of using Walgreens  coupons and the 2nd link is some pictures of receipts from one of our UsedShoe.com Forum members Hirambab that shows how if done correctly you can save some serious cash (as an example, one receipt shows items costing $106+ and he had to paid $1.41 (yes, one dollar and forty one cents!!!) because of stacking coupons and offers.  Doing it right can save you hundreds upon hundreds of dollars. For those Gatorade fans out there, you can purchase 80 gallons worth of Gatorade powder packets for $48.26.  If you attempted to buy 80 gallons worth of premade Gatorade at the supermarket I would take a wild guess it would cost you around $300.  The nice thing about this deal is that the powder comes in...

Pixar Animated Movies on DVD 50% off or more and Guitar Hero III on Sale…
2008-05-21 15:11:00
If you’re a fan of Disney’s Pixar movies you can pick some up for 50% or more, but I have a feeling this inventory won’t last so jump on it before they sell out (prices start at $12.99 and free shipping on orders of $25 or more).  If you have not seen Finding Nemo, Monster’s Inc, or The Incredibles I would highly recommend them all.  They are good for all ages and the animation is amazing. The Entertainment Book has been reduced to $9.99 per book.  If you’re not familiar with this book, it is a book filled with coupons for local places around you (you select what county you live in).  Using just one coupon for a buy 1 get 1 free dinner at a local restaurant will save you the $9.99 you paid for the book.  I’m taking a wild guess and saying the book has around 200-300 coupons (at least the book I got for my county) and the savings you’ll get from coupons you use should easily be in the hundreds.  Today only you can get Guitar Hero II...

Camping Season is Here…
2008-05-20 16:13:00
Camping season is here and if you’re in need of a tent here is a cozy 2 to 3 person tent. The tent measures 7×7 and is for those of us who are amateur campers.  It is $29.97 with free shipping (which is 40% off the list price) and I believe camping season begins for a lot of places after this weekend (at least around me).  Now we’ll just need to find a good deal on a fishing pole and some chairs to put around the campfire (so if you come across any good deals feel free to share). The Cavalry 1 Terabyte External Hard Drive has hit a new low, price low that is, according to my mental price tracking.  You can pick it up today for $169.99 with free shipping (that price is after a $30 rebate), so if you store lots of huge files likes ripped movies or have every MP3 under the sun saved to your hard drive then this may help you out with your storage issues.  I’m still working on filling up my 500 gig external HD so I’m not partaking in this deal, but...

Recap of Some Oldies but Goodies

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).

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.

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.

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.
