The name echoed throughout the hills and the plains. “GROUPON!”, chanted the good city people of the US and Canada. Local deal salvation was theirs. One superbly-priced local deal per day in over 90 major cities…sometimes even more than one deal – it was an answer to a question that their wallets had asked for decades. The good people enjoyed Groupons of 50% – 90% off all kinds of restaurants, spas and other cool, local stuff since 2008.
But mark this historic day, my friends. For the first time ever, Groupon is offering a deal to the ENTIRE NATION. [insert 'Star Spangled Banner' here] TODAY ONLY, you can buy a $25 Groupon and receive $50 worth of merchandise at any Gap location. The Groupon can even be used on sale items. If you’ve never used Groupon before, it’s simple and addictive. Just follow this link to the Groupon website. Click the green “Buy!” button once you are there. You’ll enter your payment info and Groupon will email you a link to print your coupon to use locally. Technically, you will receive the coupon and your card will be charged “only if enough people join in on the deal”, but with the wild popularity of Groupon, enough people WILL participate in this deal, your card will be charged and you will live happily ever after with your sweet deal.
FYI – This Groupon has to be used at your LOCAL Gap and can’t be used online at Gap.com or at a Gap Outlet, Gap Factory Store or The Gap Generation stores. You can use this Groupon between August 19 and November 19, 2010.
I have used Groupon many, many times and have recommended it to friends and family to the point of being obnoxious. It’s who I am. It’s how I save. Until the whole world hears!
Cheers!

The wifey and I have enjoyed receiving Netflix movies in the mail for a couple of years now. No late fees, great selection and it’s just plain easy. We keep the peace by alternating chick flicks and action flicks in our online Netflix queue and everyone is happy. But last week changed our life. I finally got around to hooking my xBox 360 up with Netflix streaming movies and TV shows and I am ridiculously happy with life now. STREAMING NETFLIX ROCKS. You must try it out for free for a couple of weeks with a Netflix FREE 2-Week Trial. Then enjoy happiness for $8.99/mo after your trial is over.
This is SO worth it. We’ve debated actually dropping down to a cheaper cable package thanks to streaming Netflix. While you don’t have access to stream the newest of the new movies, there are still plenty to keep us completely entertained and we can get the new releases in the mail. And even beyond the movies, the main selling feature for us has been the awesome selection of TV shows. During the sad Summer season with no real TV shows to watch, we’re discovering new favorites through Netflix. (Hello, “Dexter”.) When I heard that Kieffer Sutherland and 24 were calling it quits, I thought I’d never be able to look at a TV again (aside from sports – booyeah!). So, I want to personally thank Netflix for making my life 27% more worth living again. By the way, you can stream Netflix to your TV by using your Wii, Xbox 360 or PS3, and of course, it’s also easy to watch Netflix shows and movies on your computer
Try it free now. You WILL like it.
Cheers!

After feedback from you guys, I’ve made some tweaks to the site and hope that you like them. You can now easily see the latest deals in each category, and it’s easier to ignore deals from categories that you don’t care about. If you “don’t” like what you see, click on the two drop down menus in the blue bar above the deals. Clicking on Show As “grid” will get you back to the view you’re used to. And on the Order By dropdown, you can still sort by Newest Arrivals and Most Popular, if you prefer those over the new default – Category.
Please let me know what you think about it by commenting on this post or emailing me at Jack (at) Bargain Jack(dot)com. Also, I’m thinking of killing the daily writeup to move more deals to the top of the page. If you feel strongly one way or the other about it, please let me know. It seems like most of you skip reading the commentary and go straight to the deals, but tell me if I’m wrong. Thanks to everyone who has submitted feedback.
Cheers!

I’ve been picketing the Macy’s headquarters, begging for equality for men. Not really, but someone must have. The Men’s Web Busters
during the current Macy’s One Day Sale are pretty damn good.
A few examples include, several different men’s dress shirts for just $9.99. These suckers retail from $45 to as high as $105. Today and Saturday, you’ll find different patterns, colors and textures to choose from, including some crazy stuff you won’t want, and some classic stuff that you will.
If you need pants or shoes, it’s a great time for both. If you need sweaters or long-sleeve knit shirts.
..keep waiting. Pants ARE super cheap right now, though, with over 60 styles of men’s pants that have been discounted to between $16 and $39. There are 
some serious price cuts, and now is the time to load up on khakis and other assorted dress pants. And like I mentioned before, now is also sweet timing for men’s shoes, with Macy’s offering over 90 styles of men’s shoes for under $50. That represents pretty big discounts of over 50% for many of the styles.
These discounts are only good through Saturday night.
Macy’s, you have made the men proud. Well played.
Cheers!

hnny: Grandpa, what’s this?
Grandpa: That’s an appleseed. One day it will grow into a big apple tree covered with apples.
Johnny: And what will happen when the apples get old, Grandpa?
Grandpa: Well Johnny, the old apples will be send back to Steve Jobs who will personally refurbish them, making them just like new apples again. Then the refurbished apples will be sold for pennies on the dollar, just like the $350 refurbished Apple G4 iBook Laptop with 1.33GHz Processor, 1GB, 40GB, 12.1″ 1024×768 Display, Combo Drive ,WiFi, 56K Modem ,10/100 Ethernet , Bluetooth, and OS X 10.5. This apple started its life as a leased laptop and was made shiny and new again at the end of the lease. If it were new, Johnny, it would cost over $900. So it’s pretty neato that we can get it at Buy.com for just $350 with free shipping, huh Johnny?
Johnny: I guess so, Grandpa. But you kinda lost me at “Steve Jobs”.
