Gag gifts are one of my favorite things about Christmas.  That’s why our featured deal of the day is from Buy.com.  This Flying Alarm Clock is an exceptional value at just $9.99, or 75% off the retail price of $40.  I would sit here and explain it to you, but nothing I say could come close to explaining what’s going on here like the video at Buy.com’s website.

Besides gag gifts, there are many other great gift ideas out there as well.  For example, for the sportsman in your family, check out the Quantum Accurist Performance Tuned Baitcasting Reels from Cabela’s.  At $80, these are 38% off the list price of $130 and represent a terrific value.

Finally, there’s a great furniture sale going on at Target.  You can get this Georgetown Bookcase for just $150, or 40% off the $250 list price.  They currently have a promotion running where you can save 15% on any furniture over $125, plus an additional 10% with coupon code 7N584R3M).

Have a good Tuesday!

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!

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!
