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 (more…)

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, (more…)

Johnny: 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, (more…)

I don’t know if it’s because I’m super-perceptive or what, but I realized that it is colder outside than Tonya Harding during PMS.  And the people need coats.  And there’s a recession.  So the people need sales. Here’s where my genius comes into play: the people need COAT SALES. Question: should it be illegal to be this good?

Macy’s is offering a hefty 50-70% off these men’s coats.  Almost 100 coats for all of your hypothermic needs.  Booyeah.

Kohl’s is offering 40-50% off men’s coats.  Over 100 more coats for your shivering bones. Hollah. (more…)

If my garage and attic mated, it would be one ugly baby.  They are both full of mountains of junk, stacked with no particular rhyme or reason.  I cursed the day I had to find the leaf blower.  I cursed the day I had to find wall paint.  I cursed many days.  I curse the fact that I’m staring down the barrel of Christmas decorations that are still waiting to be put away…but where?  It sucks, but I need to man up and get this junk organized before it causes my hairline to recede.

Sears is running a nice sale for 20% off tool storage over $99  and 20% off all garage storage items that cost over $100.  If you are in the market, you should absolutely check out the tool storage blowout, also at Sears.  This includes the best of the best savings in the (more…)

It’s back to the grindstone.  Probably like a bunch of you, I’m back to my full-time job today for the first time since around December 18th.  If you’re happy and you know it clap your hands.  Or pour 2 shots of Irish whiskey into your unassuming Starbucks cup.  Either way.

So today is all about finding some kind of motivation.

1) I’m out of arms’ reach for my wife to assign honey-do tasks.  WahooOOOooo! 2) My cruder jokes will find appreciative ears again. 3) My work monitor is 24″ and still gives me chills.

If that last statement gave you monitor envy, tell your boss and his new budget about (more…)

You know how you’d pick up a $20 bill lying in the middle of the sidewalk (after checking for cameras and fishing line)?  It’s instinctive.  It’s just the right thing to do.  In the same no-brainer club is this Wenger Impulse Notebook Case at a stellar, Best Buy outlet price of just $5.99.  The retail price of $35.99 seems very realistic, not hugely inflated or anything.  But the sale price is borderline surreal. It fits up to a 15.4″ laptop, it’s rated 5 stars after 4 reviews at Best Buy, it ships for free, and it has the BargainJack stamp of certified awesomeness.  What more could a man want?  Free shipping?  Check and mate.

Or do you have better plans for your six bucks? (more…)

Now that the holiday treats are safely locked at the bottom of our trash dumpster and my New Year’s hangover is just a memory, today marks the first real day of the new year for me.  According to the Chinese zodiac, 2010 is the year of the tiger. GRRrrrrRRRRrr.  This works really well for me since I need to get back in shape, and Eye of the Tiger is on every workout playlist I’ve made since the Cold War.  If you’re also thinking of getting back to your fighting weight, let’s talk basics.  You need a decent scale…like one that will tell your body fat percentage (but not out loud).  The Whynter Glass Digital Body Fat & Water Scale, at just $46 at Overstock.com, is very affordable for a scale armed with body fat monitoring.  It can handle up to 330 lbs of your ampleness. If you’d rather not know your body fat (more…)

Since Alfredus Strongbranch, the Chief Operating Elf of the North Pole, decided to go on his indefinite hiatus back in the Spring of ‘09, operations have been out of whack in Santa’s Workshop.  Sources on the ground report that all good little girls and boys have received their appropriate gifts, but a large overrun of items was generated during production.  Tsk, tsk.  All of the elf CPAs and assorted bean counters are begging Alfredus to come back, but in the meantime, warehouse space is prohibitively expensive and Santa’s overflow stock needs to be liquidated.

Santa has contracted with some third parties to help clear out his overstock, including: TigerDirect.com’s Year-End Liquidation (more…)

We made it.  That’s right, Christmas is over and done.  You made it through an entire family viewing of It’s a Wonderful Life while your family’s version of Uncle Eddie slammed beers and made off-color jokes.  You opened presents and somehow managed to look happy when you opened grandma’s present–which consisted of a dozen pairs of tighty-whiteys, no doubt.  And now it’s time to return back to reality.

After that fiasco, it’s time to treat yourself for a job well done.  Not to mention, you probably didn’t get exactly what you wanted for Christmas.  What to do… What to do… (more…)
