Not My Nikes!

Nike Nix Sunglasses Stacy Clinton: “Alright James, welcome to New York!  As you recall, Clinton Kelly and I surprised you last week while you were at work, as your co-workers nominated you for a wardrobe makeover!”

James: “But I work all day on septic tanks?!?”

Clinton: “Which is exactly why you need a new wardrobe!  Working around all that sewage, it’s easy to be lazy.  ‘Hello my name is James… Oh I work with sewage all day… Ho-hum… That’s my excuse to not wear anything nice… Woah is me…’  PUH-LEEEEEEZZZZEE!”

Stacy: “I bet he’s going to love it even more since we’re sending his wardrobe back to where it belongs–in the septic tank!”

Stacy: “Oh they don’t even make those anymore James, who are you kidding.  I’ve lived in New York City for 20 years and never seen a septic tank…”

James: “But that’s because you have city plumbing–”

Stacy: “Quit griping, James.  Next up!  These Jordan Melo M5 Men’s Basketball Shoes.  TRASH!”

Excerpt from the Memoirs of George S. Patton

List of Memorial Day Sale Events at BargainJack.comGeneral Patton continued to study the map.  “We have to get some g#$ d#@$ gunners in there.  Do whatever it takes!”

The officers surrounding Patton continued to radio the front lines.  The entire 66th Armor Regiment was deployed, attempting to secure a strategic building.

Two hours later, the ranking officer in the field, Major Starks, called in on the radio back to Patton: “Sir, we have secured the target and now have complete control.  Awaiting further orders.”

Patton yelled, “give me that damn radio and show me the schematic of the building.”

Thirty seconds later, Patton was unfolding the building schematic and preparing to issue instructions.

Brent Peacock's Guide to the Ladies

Peruvian LiliesI can honestly tell you that it’s nearly impossible to respond to all my emails each day.  I get tons of questions, usually centered around my natural ability with the ladies.  As Derk Novocitz from Tampa, FL writes: “Brent Peacock, help me!  This new hot chick at work won’t even notice me!  I really need your help!”

So with that, I know it’s long overdue, but here’s my man’s guide to the ladies.

Prelude:

Ever since the first airing of Three’s Company and the likes of Jack and Larry, guys have been asking themselves, “How do they do it?”  Was it the open collar shirts with the top 3 buttons undone?  Maybe it was the ungodly amounts of chest hair?  Whatever it was, these guys had the mojo.  Brent Peacock goes under the radar to examine this phenomenon so that you, too, can work it with the ladies.

Massimo Genni Men's Dark Brown 3-button SuitChapter 1: Attire

No pimp daddy has ever worn jeans and a t-shirt.  You need to look fly.  That’s right, fly.  Learn the lingo.  It’s like the secret handshake at the disco club to avoid a cover charge.

Start off with a Massimo Genni Men’s Dark Brown 3-button Suit.  Ditch the tie, and unbutton at least the top two buttons.  When you take off your jacket, such as at dinner, make sure your cuffs are heavily starched, and roll them over one time, leaving them unbuttoned.  I’d also suggest carrying a pocket-size starch kit in your jacket pocket, just in case you have any problems getting the crisp starched sleaves to line up properly.

Romano Men's Italian Leather 'Hipster' WalletAlso, make sure you have a killer wallet, like the Romano Men’s Italian Leather ‘Hipster’ Wallet.  Many ladies just love a hot wallet.  I once got a romantic dinner with J-Lo just because she saw me handling my Italian leather wallet.

Chapter 2: The Date

Start the evening off by arriving with a gift for the LUT (Lady Under Test).  I’d suggest a set of Peruvian Lilies.

$25 Restaurant.com gift certificatesNext, take her to a romantic restaurant.  Spend a lot of money.  If need be, slip one of these $25 Restaurant.com gift certificates into the bill, but don’t let her see it.  I’d even suggest catching the waiter or waitress on a trip to the bathroom and producing the coupon.

Make sure you order a good bottle of wine.

Ch. Ste. Michelle Eroica Riesling 2007Chapter 3: The Next Date

By now, you’ve already impressed the lady, and are ready to take it to the next level.  Start the evening with gifts.  I recommend the Ch. Ste. Michelle Eroica Riesling 2007.  Upon entry into the home, offer to chill the wine.  That’s when you produce the BlinQ Electric Wine Chiller.  Ladies love an educated, thoughtful man.

If things are going well, you can produce another gift.  I recommend something from the collection on sale at the Frederick’s of Hollywood Superstar Sale.

Chapter 4: Conclusion

I hope this guide can help you with the ladies.  I can’t promise success, I can only promise a plan that works.  I’ve been on over 2,500 dates with my plan.  The ladies love me, and I love the ladies.

Good luck!

Last-Minute Mother's Day Gifts

Since women understand women, I let BargainJill take over today and lead us in the right direction for Mother’s Day.  (I get points from her for this kind of stuff, btw.)

CORRECTION FROM THE VIDEO: I goofed up the Angie’s List membership discount. Here’s the real deal: click here and use coupon code SAVETEN for $10 off a 1-year membership. If you are already an Angie’s List member, then you will be able to save $20-$30 off a 1-year gift subscription. Sorry for the mistake!

We’re now just 4 days from Mother’s Day. If you haven’t already gotten something for Mom, it’s time to spring into action, and that is what we’ll talk about in episode 23 of BargainJill TV.

I like to set expectations, so let’s get one thing clear right now. You’re not going to find free shipping offers in time for Mother’s Day. They’re gone. But there are still lots of great sales to take advantage of. So let’s walk though some good options.

I used to work at fine jewelry stores during college, and love talking about jewelry, so I’m going to start off today talking about sparkly things for Mom. As we mentioned several days ago, SuperJeweler.com offered BargainJill readers an exclusive coupon code for an extra 10% off orders of $100 or more, and that is still in full effect when you use coupon code bargainjill.

SuperJeweler has a page of specials for Mother’s Day, with prices from just $29. In fact, for $29 you will see this pretty and petite .03 ct diamond heart pendant crafted of sterling silver. It’s small and sweet and definitely budget-priced.

For $79, this classic 1/4 ct diamond heart pendant in 10k gold is another good bet.

If you are a man watching this video, and you are married, and you have kids, that means that your WIFE qualifies for some special treatment on Mother’s Day, too.

For something really special, how about this beautifully-priced pair of quality 1/2 ct diamond stud earrings? They retail at over $800, are on sale for $295, but with the bargainjill coupon code, they are just $265! And the quality of these diamonds is spot on for bright, sparkly stud earrings. They are rated SI2 to SI3 in clarity, which means that they are very clean to the naked eye, and this is superior to the standard clarity that you usually find for earrings at a jewely store in the mall. Trust me. And the color rating of H to I is also a good place to be for earrings. They’ll appear nice and bright and have great sparkle with these specs. I’m amazed at the price on these earrings. I’ve loved them at $295, so $265 is pretty fantastic. These definitely have the BargainJill stamp of approval. I wouldnt mind a pair myself, frankly.

SuperJeweler always offers a FREE gift of jewelry cleaner, FREE gift wrap, FREE appraisals on all items over $200…and they USUALLY offer free shipping, (and they still do) BUT, since we’re so close to Mother’s Day, the standard free shipping might not be fast enough, so SuperJeweler recommends using 2-day shipping for $9.95 if you order today, Wednesday the 6th or if you order on Thursday, you’ll need UPS Next Day shipping in order to arrive on time, and that will set you back $17.95. So don’t wait around before you order.

Flowers are obviously a clear winner amongst Moms and who knows flowers better than Martha Stewart? Martha is working with 1-800-FLOWERS and has her own branded line of bouquets which she has designed, and Martha is offering us 15% off right now with promo code MARTHA47. Martha’s bouquets strike me as very pretty, elegant and old-fashioned, in mostly muted pinks or purples. I was impressed by the designs. They are not the typical teleflora stuff you usually see. The arrangements remind me of an old-fashioned rose garden. Bouquet prices largely range from about $50-$80 for the Martha Stewart designs. So they aren’t outrageous, but they are also not the cheapest. If Martha and her flowers are out of your budget, no worries. 1-800-FLOWERS is offering 30 gifts that cost $30 or less. My top pick in that list would be the bouquet of 24 multi-colored roses for $29.99. Beware that that price does NOT include a vase. Many women have plenty of vases laying around from previous bouquets and would be fine without one more vase in their life, but if you’re not sure about your mother, pay another $10 for a vase.

Ok, so we’ve covered the classics with jewelry and flowers. Here’s a non-traditional gift to surprise Mom with. I think that a subscription to Angie’s List would be appreciated by any woman who could use some help around the house – like landscapers, handyman services, maid services or even an auto mechanic or veterinarian. Angie’s List is an awesome database of contractors and other professions with reviews written by regular people who have used their services. So, your mom could find some great info before hiring someone to paint her house, mow her yard, etc, etc. I have a subscription to Angie’s List and it has really helped when I’ve hired people. Sometimes it’s overwhelming to even know where to begin, and Angie’s List gives you plenty of information to select people to hire with a nice level of confidence.

If you are already a member of Angie’s List, you can save $20 to $30 off a 1-year Angie’s List membership that you gift to someone else…like Mom. If you’re not yet a member, save $10 off any 1-year Angie’s List membership by using promo code SAVETEN during checkout. Membership prices vary based on the city where the work will done. For instance, before the $20 to $30 discount, LA is about $50 per year. Tucson and Austin are $57. Pittsburgh is in the high 60′s and Houston was $82. So, that should give you a general idea of what to expect. Overall, I think that it’s an interesting gift idea. It’s really practical and would be an appreciated gift for the right woman. And the fact that it can all be done online means that you don’t need to worry about priority shipping charges.

I hope that gives you some ideas for the moms on your shopping list, and remember to place your orders today, especially if there’s shipping involved.

That’s our episode for today, check back again next week for a new video, and in the meantime, enjoy the deals we post to BargainJill.com daily. Bye!

Sniper vs. Sniper

Oakley Scar Gold Iridium SunglassesQuietly, Brig slid open his briefcase from the roof of the bank tower.  His hands were steady–as a professional who had perfected his craft.  Smoke billowed out of the side of his mouth, the cigarette dangling loosely between his callused lips.

Brig began to assemble the sniper rifle when, suddenly, Brig panicked.  “My glasses!” he thought.  Steadily, he unlocked the secret compartment in his briefcase, unveiling the nice arrangement of sunglasses he could use to complete the job.

But that’s when it all began to fall apart.  Brig was now rattled by the choice he had to make. Oakley Ducati Straight Jacket Sunglasses “Maybe I should go for the Oakley Ducati Straight Jacket Sunglasses I got for 50% off at Sierra Trading Post–only $70.”  But then he eyed the Oakley Pocket Sunglasses which he’d also ordered for just $55.  “Crap, those would work too.”

And like that, the other three pairs of sunglasses jumped out at him: the Oakley SI Ballistic M Frame Sunglasses, the Oakley Scar Gold Iridium Sunglasses, and the Oakley Zero L Sunglasses, again, all ordered from Sierra Trading Post.  When he ordered 5 pairs of sunglasses, he thought it was a good idea.  Now, it had him rattled, and distracted from the job he had set out to do.

“Come on Brig, just pick a pair of sunglasses!” he thought to himself.

Seconds later, a demolition ball came crashing in, four stories below his location on the roof.  “Crap!  Wrong building!”  He scrambled to the stairs, but he was too late…

From the top of the adjacent building, another man dressed in black, adorning his Oakley sunglasses, couldn’t help but produce a smile.

2ct Diamond Stud Earrings in 18K White Gold, J/K Color, I1/I2 ClarityMost Interesting Man in the World: “I don’t always buy diamonds.  But when I do, I buy them from SuperJeweler–especially when it’s Mother’s Day.

I could also get these 2ct Diamond Stud Earrings in 18K White Gold, J/K Color, I1/I2 Clarity for just $3,599.  That allows me to save $400 with coupon code bargainjack, since these are currently on sale for $3,999, and normally retail for over $10k.
