Happy New Year everyone!  To get things started off on the first day of 2009, Toys R Us is helping us out with their clearance blowout sale!  During this event, you can save up to 60% off, plus save an additional 10% on purchases over $100.

Also, check out the sweet sale going on over at Old Navy.  Here, you can save up to 75% on many great items.  This sale runs through the middle of the month, so be sure to take advantage of it asap.

Finally, American Eagle Outfitters has free shipping on jeans today as part of their New Years promotion.

Enjoy!

In the spirit of having a featured item of the day, let’s first start with Amazon’s great deal on Grand Theft Auto IV for the Xbox 360.  Normally $60, the price has been slashed to $30, or 50% off the retail price.  This also qualifies for free shipping, or in my case, free 2-day shipping with my Amazon Prime account (which came in very handy over Christmas, I might add!).

Now on to the after Christmas sales.  There are a ton of great sales going on right now, so rather than writing a blurb about each one, I’m just going to list the sales for your reference.

• TigerDirect 72-Hour After Christmas Blowout
• Barnes & Noble’s After Holiday Sale
• Kohl’s After Christmas Sale: 60-70% off
• Gap: up to 50% off + additional 25% Off Sale with coupon code SALE
• Cabela’s: Mid-Winter Sale, Save up to 65%
• Finish Line End of Season Clearance
• Dog.com: free shipping on $49+ through Sunday

Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas!

Don’t let Cyber Week pass you by without taking advantage of some of the great offers out there.  For example, at Dell Home, you can pick up this sweet DMA 2100 Media Center Extender for just $60, or 50% off the regular price of $120.  This allows you to stream media from your PC to your television.  In my case, I missed the first 3 episodes of the new season of 24 because we were out of town (and I forgot to set my DVR to record.. DOH!), so a media extender would come in handy.

Also, be sure to check out a couple of the great sales going on right now, starting with the Best Buy Cyber Week sale.  You can save on TVs, home theater products, appliances, and much, much more.  Or check out the Kohl’s 2-day sale, where products are reduced up to 60% off the list price (plus an additional 10% savings with coupon code HOLIDAY3416.

Enjoy!

Christmas is right around the corner, and stores are as aggressive as ever to get your business!  Today, we’re going to tell you about 4 great sales going on at Sears, Toys R Us, Kohl’s, and Circuit City!

First, whether its for the kids, or the nieces and nephews in your family, or whoever else, check out Toys R Us Free Shipping Offer on select toys!  This is a great way to go ahead and knock out that special gift for the little ones in our lives.  Time to check that individual off your todo list!

Next up is the Kohl’s 2-Day Sale, where you can save up to 60% on many great items!  These range from women’s clothing and accessories to men’s shirts, ties, sweaters, as well as kitchen gadgets.  In short, just about every category of merchandise in the store is represented, so check it out and load up on some more holiday gifts.

And we all like electronics.  Because of this, check out Circuit City’s 4-Day Early Bird sale!  This is a great opportunity to save on items like HDTVs and more.  If you’re in the market for a new HDTV, this is probably the time to buy.  Don’t forget that the Super Bowl is right around the corner, and that’s generally the time when stores look to raise prices slightly to capitalize on the fact that many people are desperate to pick up a new TV for their Super Bowl party.

Finally, Sears has some great promotions going this weekend and into next week, but in particular, check out the Friends and Family event going on from 6pm tonight, Sunday, to 6am tomorrow, Monday.  You can save an extra 10-20% on almost everything in the store.

Enjoy!

If I have a problem–and yes I’ve been reminded of my problems many times–it’s that I take things too seriously and never enjoy life.  I realize this myself, but get caught up in the rat race and seldom take the time to step back and just enjoy myself.

So today is all about having fun and enjoying life.  And I can’t think of any better way than by heading to the park and enjoying this 2 Channel Infrared Remote Control Helicopter from Meritline.

With a price tag of $20, it’s 50% off the retail price, and includes free shipping.  Just use coupon code M24819920OFF at checkout.

Another option for having fun and not taking life so seriously is the Supersonic SC-29D All-Region 5.1 CH Karaoke DVD Player from TheTechGeek.  At only $40, it’s 15% off the list price, and one of the best prices we’ve seen on this player from TheTechGeek.

This is a great addition to any dinner party or just having a fun time with friends.  I can honestly say I’ve only sang karaoke once, and it was miserable not only for me, but for the audience.  But at the end, all I can do is sit back and laugh.

Enjoy your Thursday, it’s almost the weekend!

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.

It’s pretty obvious you all appreciate our console deals, as everytime we feature a special on a Xbox 360 or a PS3, the response is overwhelming.  Today is no exception, as Dell has a great deal on the Xbox 360 Elite System, complete with a massive 120 GB hard drive and HDMI support, as well as a couple of games.  This retails for $449, but with 22% off the list price via coupon code V8Q199$GCXJWL$, it can be yours for just $349.

Next up, Circuit City is running a special this week where they feature a different deal each day in their back to school promotion event.  Today’s pick is the Zenith 22″ LCD HDTV.  At only $300, it’s $150 off the list price of $450, or a savings of 33%.  This is a great, small TV for a dorm room.

Finally, Buy.com, our perennial powerhouse in a long list of merchants, has two great offers.  First, the Micro (R/C) Remote Control Helicopter is featured at a great price of only $13, or 74% off the list price of $50.  I’ve heard RC helicopters can be a bit of a trick to fly, so why not start cheap so that your first few wrecks don’t send you to the poorhouse?

Buy.com also has a great deal on a digital archive of Rolling Stone magazine!  For $40, or 80% off the list price of $200, you can search back through 40 years of Rolling Stone material to find articles about your favorite bands with this digital, searchable archive.

Enjoy!

At the risk of featuring another “chick-friendly” deal as our deal of the day here at BargainJack (yesterday it was men’s shirts), today we’re bringing you an awesome deal from Linens N’ Things.  With coupon code FFAUG08, you can save 25% off your entire order at Linens N’ Things!

Personally, I would recommend shopping their clearance section, where you can find already-reduced items that are stackable with this coupon code.  For example, the KitchenAid Pro Line Series Espresso Machine normally lists for $900, but with this coupon code, you can get it for only $506, a savings of 44% off the msrp!

Another fun little gadget is the Roboreptile.  With its realistic biomorphic movements (aka it looks real), a bipedal “attack” mode, and whipping tail, it’s a nice toy for the kids or even a nice little desk gadget for the office.  And, at only $52 with the 25% off coupon, that’s a savings of 48% off the list price.

Enjoy!
