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!

This weekend, there’s some really great sale events going on at several top stores.  First, at Sears, we have the Sears Saturday Sale, where you can save on doorbuster deals (through noon).  There’s also other great deals going on throughout the day on items such as appliances, HD cameras, fitness equipment, and much, much more.

On top of that, TigerDirect has their Black Friday Deals through 11/23.  Here you can save on a lot of great computer and electronic deals.

Finally, check out the 6th Avenue Electronics pre-Black Friday sale.  They have a ton of great deals on HDTVs, many with free shipping.

Have a great weekend!

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!

Today at Buy.com, you can save on several cool items, which by the way make excellent Christmas presents with prices ranging from $13 to $75.

First up is the SWAT Humvee Climbing Car.  It uses a “sucking system” (no comment) to literally glue itself to the wall, allowing it to climb vertically up a given wall!  Just drive it like a regular remote control car, and once it reaches a wall, it turns 45 degrees and starts sucking itself to the wall.  Really cool stuff.

Next on the list is the Polk Audio miDock Studio Speaker System.  At $75, or 70% off the list price of $250, this is an awesome gift for the iPod officianado in your family.

Finally, there’s always the tool man in the family, someone who would like a new hammer in their stocking.  Being one of the most generally used tools in the history of mankind, having a quality hammer is such a nice luxury.

With that in mind, check out the Stanley 20oz. FatMax Xtreme AntiVibe Rip Claw with Smooth Face Hammer.  At $13, this represents a 81% discount off the list price of $70.

Have a great Tuesday!

Last weekend I went to PetSmart and bought two 40 pound bags of dog food and a bottle of glucosamine, and at the end of it all, spent over $100.  While that was frustrating, it’s even more frustrating to turn around this week and see a coupon that would’ve saved me $15.

But, rather than hording this coupon to myself, or sweeping it under a rug hoping nobody will see it, I’ve decided to share with everyone.  So, yes, you can save 15% on orders of $60+ through the link on this page.  Just add the items to your cart and you should see the 15% discount at checkout.

And in case you almost forgot, it’s almost Christmas time.  Ho ho ho, check out the savings at Frederick’s of Hollywood, where you can save $10 off $75+, $20 off $100+, or $40 off $150+.  Just click the link on this page and proceed to stuff your cart full of stuff.  This is one of those places where it really does reinforce the old adage: it’s better to give than to receive.

Besides these two great offers, also check out the 20% off everything sale at Chico’s, good through tomorrow.  And how about the Sears 2-day sale, where you can save on Kenmore Appliances and floor care, as well as Craftsman power tools, lawn & garden, and much, much more.

Have a good weekend!

Nobody ever leaves their house in the winter with the idea of getting stranded in a snowstorm.  Yet some unlucky individuals seem to deal with this every winter.  In an attempt to save humanity, cure all evil, and make the world a safer place for the children, your good ‘ole buddy Jack is ready to help you out of your winter jam.

For starters, apparently NewEgg Mall is your friend in your time of need.  If you’re worried about your key hole getting frozen, you can get the Hot Key Car Lock Deicer Snow Melter for around $13, or 50% off the list price of $25.

Or, if ice on the windshield is your issue, check out the Auto Electric Ice Scraper, also from NewEgg Mall.  At $20, that’s 33% off the normal price of $30.

And in those situations where death seems imminent in that unrelenting storm, check out the Black & Decker Sport Lantern / Weather Radio / Universal Cell Phone Charger.  At only $25, that’s 50% off the list price of $50.

Finally, check out the Vector 450 Amp Jump Starter.  This will certainly help you out in a bind, and help get your car started and back on the road just in time before the abominable snowman bears down on you.

It’s gonna be a chilly 39 degrees tonight in Austin, TX.  I think I even saw a glacier in my rearview mirror this morning.  Ack!

As you gear up for a future weekend warrior project, you might as well do what you can to save a little dough.  At Home Depot, you can save $10 off any purchase over $100 with a new, exciting coupon code!  Just add your items to your cart and enter coupon code SAVINGS2008.  This coupon lasts through 11/02/08.

Also, there’s another sweet deal happening over the next several days at 6th Avenue Electronics.  Check out the Paradigm Millenia 200 Floor Standing Speakers.  At $849, this represents a savings of 43% off the regular price of $1498.

By the way, 6th Avenue Electronics is a great place to order electronics, ranging from cameras to HDTVs to complete speaker systems.  We’re featuring several promotional items today from 6th Avenue, but besides this list, be sure to check out their site for other great offers.  And while you’re at it, be sure to use coupon code FALL101608 to save an additional 6%!  (Note: this coupon doesn’t work for any of the products we featured today because they are part of a special promotion that’s excluded.)

Have a good Friday and a great weekend!

Today is certainly a day of sales.  First, we have the Best Buy 2-Day Sale, where you can save on items ranging from desktops, laptops, monitors, networking, security, photo, video, music, and much, much more.  This sale lasts through Saturday, 10/4, and I believe is available both online and in-store.

Next up is the Sears 2-Day Sale.  With this offer, you can save on miter saws, drill presses, Craftsman compressors, combo kits, mechanic tool sets, and more.  You can also save 15% on Kenmore appliances, as well as enjoy great offers on fitness equipment, vaccuum cleaners, and more.

Be sure to check Sears online, where you can confirm inventory and place orders for pickup.

Finally, like any typical Friday, you can find a great sale at J&R for the weekend.  For this sale, you can save on notebooks, cameras, memory cards, universal remotes, as well as new movie and music releases.

Enjoy!

Every now and then I get the urge to migrate north for the winter.  As someone who was born and raised in the south (where winter temperatures average somewhere in the 40s), you might think my desire to move north is due to the fact that I’ve never built a snowman, or because I never had a chance to play on a frozen lake.  And unfortunately, you couldn’t be any more wrong.

My desire stems from this: the Craftsman 9 hp Gas Snow Thrower.  I mean seriously, it’s a bulldozer that shoots snow.  How much cooler does it get than this?  It handles a 28″ clearing path, has a 12″ impeller, 12″ serrated auger, and 6 forward/2 reverse wheel drive speeds.

If this thing worked on grass, I’d buy it in a heartbeat.  But it doesn’t.  It’s made for snow.  I could just imagine sipping on a nice cold beer on a Sunday morning right before kickoff while clearing the driveway of snow.  That’s how football was meant to be watched and appreciated–going out on the frozen tundra before the game and clearing snow.  It’s a lifestyle, my friends…

Other great offers from Sears include the Craftsman Professional 10 in. Portable Table Saw.  This is another man gadget that will leave you grunting and flexing your biceps in the mirror.  You essentially get an extra gold star on your man card when you buy your first table saw, and the chicks really dig it.

Enjoy!
