Groupon Lovefest

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 (more…)

Macy's One Day Sale Smiles Upon Men

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…)

Give the People What They Want: Coat Sales

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…)

Black Friday Is Back!

Update: Depending on who is reading this, I may or may not have just ordered this 1/5ct Diamond Heat Necklace in Sterling Silver (18″ chain included) for someone on my Christmas list.  It retails at $149, usually sells at SuperJewler for $89, and the awesome $29 price at SuperJeweler.com ends today!  It ships free, too. Score!

1) Buy.com Black Friday II , 2) J&R Back to Black Sale and 3) Black Friday Apple Blowout – Part II (more…)

Meet DiamondShark and ChronoShark

I’ve always been a sucker for a good daily deal site.  You knew that.  Lately, ChronoShark.com and DiamondShark.com have really caught my attention.  ChronoShark offers one sweet wristwatch deal per day.  To me, that is the language of love.  A new watch deal is launched each night at midnight Eastern time, and it’s available for 24 hours or until sold out.  The watches are top brands at prices that are usually rock bottom, up to 90% off retail.  In the same vein, DiamondShark.com offers one killer jewelry deal per day at prices that most retailers can’t touch…but we CAN.

ChronoShark is offering BargainJack readers an exclusive discount today only on a Lucien Piccard 27094BK Milan Collection Swiss Chronograph (more…)

I Am a Handsome Beast and Lowest Prices of the Season at Macy's

I’ve been eating leftover Halloween candy like it’s a food group, and either it’s catching up with me or our dryer is shrinking my clothes.  You’re right, blame the dryer.  I think Macy’s heard my waistbands and side seams groaning under the stress because you’ve gotta see the Men’s Web Busters they are offering through the end of the day on Wednesday as part of the biggest sale of the season.

It’s just hype, you say?  Try again.  How about John Ashford Cotton Twill Pants for just $15!  They come in khaki, black, navy and the  stone color that I’ve pictured here.  That’s a walloping 64% off the normal $42 price tag for a nice pair of khakis.  And how about a dress shirt to go (more…)

The Wearability of Wifi Detection

You’re on the go.  Whether you’re traveling or trying to score a great cup of java, you live and die by wifi.  Weak signals are your nemesis.  And let’s just say it – it’s a pain in the buttocks to open your laptop only to be shut down by the wifi gods when they’re only dishing out one bar of juice…or less. *shiver*

Congrats, oh seeker of the signal, because ThinkGeek finally has the answer to your plight: the Wifi Detector Shirt.  What once was $29.99 is now on clearance for $19.99 at ThinkGeek and comes in all sizes from S to XXL.  The front of this shirt has a battery-powered, real, working wifi detector that lights up along with the actual wifi signal (more…)

My Apologies to the Mafia

Several days ago, I wrote a blog post which may have offended some of my mafia-inclined readers.  It alluded to the fact that maybe the mafia “acquires” watches rather than buying them.  My words were wreckless, hurtful and not at all funny.  Mafia, you are not here to amuse me.  My new friends here, Vinny Turrisi and his associate Carlo Calderone, have paid a visit to the BargainJack world headquarters, encouraging me to set the record straight.  I now have 3 fingers still capable of typing, so please ignore any typos or  vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv

Ok, you’s all listening to Vinny now. Jack had to go check on some fishes. I regret (more…)

Hint: Your Shoes May Curl Nostril Hairs Around You

I remember simpler times, times when I was blissfully ignorant about how lame my wardrobe was, how funky my shoes smelled or how offensive my football-watching language was to women.  I was a bachelor then.  Through a small miracle, I scored a wife.  And then that wife gave me wardrobe self awareness.  I hate it, BUT, *sigh* …once you know, you KNOW.  So at least twice a year, during one of the end-of-season clearance sales, I buy new shoes to keep the wife happy.  I think my time is now since Shoes.com is offering an EXTRA 20% off shoes that are already on sale with promo code: SALE.

JOGGERS, BIKERS, COUNTRYMEN: A $35 WATCH THAT CONTROLS YOUR IPOD

Being known for my charm, rugged good looks and athletic prowess gets tedious.  When jogging, I feel like everyone is watching.  And I cringe when my iPod leaps from Eye of the Tiger to Another Day in Paradise, which, let’s face it, I probably accidentally added it to my jogging playlist after 3 glasses too many of shiraz the night before.  I mean, Phil Collins?  While jogging? It’s like a stake through the heart of my charged-up workout (and manhood).  So…like any jogger with an iPod strapped to their bulging bicep, I do the only thing I can do:  I break my stride, I bend my arm contortedly, I fumble for the Phil-Collins-ejection-seat button on my iPod, until I finally hear the docile tones of Metallica and can continue my run.  It’s an embarrassing (more…)
