As always, J&R is having their weekend sale, with prices slashed on several items.  We’ve picked a few of the favorites and posted them on the site.  To view all the latest promotions at J&R, you can scan through our list, or go through the Shop by Merchant tab at the top of the page.  Or, just simply click the vendor name (J&R) by one of the deals, which will take you to the J&R Deals page.

Also, this weekend we’re featuring several great deals from OutInStyle.com.  Some favorites include the Quick System Privacy Bathroom Tent With Shower.  That’s right, a tent with a shower.  And it’s only $100, or $300 off the retail price.  I think you might have to turn in your man card if you need a shower while you’re camping, but usually camping involves a significant other who would probably be more inclined to go camping with a shower.

For your camping needs, OutInStyle.com also has the Forest Green Mummy Sleeping Bag for only $15, or 78% off the list price of $69.

For a limited time, McDonald’s is giving away a free southern style chicken sandiwch with the purchase of a regular or large drink.  Somehow it ties into the Olympics, I’m not really sure, but regardless, it’s free food.  Just fill out the form when you click through the link and take it from there.

If computers and electronics do more to curb your appetite, check out the offerings this week at Best Buy.  For starters, they have the Dell Inspiron Laptop with Intel Pentium Dual-Core Processor T2390 on sale for just $450, or $200 off the msrp.  This laptop comes in with a customer rating of 4.8 stars after 33 reviews, and includes a dual core processor with a 15.4″ display.

Best Buy also has a sale on the Samsung Digimax 5.0MP Digital Camera.  At only $100, it’s $250 off the list price of $350.  It comes loaded as a 5MP camera, with image resolutions up to 2592×1944.  The 4.8x optical zoom is a nice addition as well.

Finally, check out the Amcor 8,000 BTU Portable Air Conditioner from Circuit City.  It comes in at $140, or 60% off the msrp of 349.  With a 4 star rating after 50 reviews, this portable air conditioner has an auto water drain feature, otherwise known as the Auto Drain NanoMist technology.  I think that’s just a fancy way of saying it circulates the water that gets collected, but don’t quote me on that.

Enjoy!

You all know how much we love and enjoy Restaurant.com.  We recently featured a deal for 70% off the msrp.  Well, today, as a celebration for 8/8/08, they have an even more amazing deal, with $25 dining gift certificates for only $2.  Their typical price is $10 for a $25 dining gift certificate, so this represents an amazing savings.

As many of you know, occasionally Restaurant.com features 70% off coupons.  This usually happens about once every 3-4 months, so 80% is the best deal you’ll ever see at Restaurant.com!

As always, Restaurant.com allows you to search your local restaurants in your zip code.  Just put in your zip code and check out the restaurants in your area.  We’ve used it to check out some great new restaurants, as well as save money on some of our favorites.

Have a good Friday!

At Restaurant.com, they’re running their greatest promotion ever.  For those who aren’t that familiar with Restaurant.com, it’s a great way to save money on dining.  With their standard offer, you can purchase $25 dining gift certificates to select restaurants in your local area for only $10.  On a good day, they have a coupon for 50% off this price, making it $5 for a $25 certificate.  On a better day, they have 60% off, or $4 for a $25 certificate.

However, today and tomorrow, they’re running a promotion where you can save 70% off the normal price.  That means you can get a $25 dining gift certificates for only $3!

The way it works is, you go to restaurant.com and search your area, either by city/state or zip code.  It will return all of the restaurants in their database.  You can then choose which restaurants you want, and the number of gift certificates per restaurant.

The catch?  Well, you have to spend at least $35 in most places, and that can’t include alcohol.  So it’s a great way to save if you go out with a group, or if you take the whole family to dinner.  In this case, you’ll get $35 worth of food for only $13, or a net savings of over 60%!

Have fun dining out.

We all have our vices.  One of mine happens to be wine.  There’s nothing more enjoyable than going out for dinner and enjoying a nice bottle of wine with the wife.  But sometimes it’s nice to stay in and have nice home-cooked meal with a glass of wine.  For us, the meal is usually planned at the last minute, and the wine is an afterthought.  Even though I have a few trusty favorite bottles that I usually pick out, I can’t say I’m an expert, and I’m left feeling like I could experience a lot more if I just knew where to turn.

That’s where Wine.com comes in.  With their extensive catalogue of wines, and a great rating system, you can easily uncover new favorites with relative ease.  And now, they have some great savings on six or more bottles.

For example, right now you can stock up and save 20% on 6 or more bottles of select wines with coupon code BARGAIN.  Or, with their vintage selection, you can save 15% on any six or more bottles of vintage wine with coupon code LASTVINTAGE.

Have a good Friday and a relaxing weekend!
