The Daily Deal for Saturday, October 4, 2008

My sweet husband has a problem with phones. Specifically, he loses them. He's lost his Blackberry and I've been tiring of paying the monthly fee for his account on the 'friends and family' plan, without having the benefit of being able to actually CALL HIM.

Perhaps we can remedy that without having to pay the rather large cost AT&T would charge us for replacing his equipment in less than 22 months. J&R.com has the refurbished Blackberry 7100 on its Weekend Sale for only $99.99; $17 less than Amazon.com's deal and $80 less than the regular discounted price (the list price is $349.99, but we all know no one pays retail for these things). The phone is unlocked, so you can use it on any cellular plan. This Blackberry utilizes the "SureType" keypad; I haven't used it but, according to RIM, it's the best evah.

Don't fret if you didn't celebrate Museum Day, the round-the-country free-admission extravaganza arranged by the Smithsonian on September 27. Several corporations have been stepping up so you can steep yourself in culture, admission-free, on other dates.

If you carry a Bank of America card, you're eligible for free entry to more than 70 museums on the first weekend each month. The lineup includes museums in 18 states, but those living close to the coasts will have better luck finding a participating venue nearby. The only states in the country's interior represented are Arizona, Illinois, Michigan and Texas.

This promotion, begun in May, lasts through next April. It's a vast expansion of the bank's sponsorship in years before, which was limited to a month. Either a Bank of America credit or check card gets you in.

The Daily Deal for Thursday, October 2 is: A box of 50 horror classics on DVD.

Just in time for Halloween, what could be better than your own big box o' horror? Who cares if you've not been invited to a Halloween party or if you're too old to Trick or Treat? You can stay in all weekend and scare yourself to death.

This box of 50 horror classics comes in a 12-DVD disc set (region 0, full-frame, English language).

Features include an early career appearance by Jack Nicholson, in the 1963 thriller "The Terror," in which Nicholson plays Lt. Andre Duvalier. Other camp terror favorites include "Attack of the Giant Leaches," and "Atom Age Vampire." Several of these classics feature horror starts Bella Lugosi and Vincent Price.

"Night of the Living Dead," vampire classic (still the scariest) "Nosferatu" and the original "Phantom of the Opera."

With the horrific price of only $24.47 (30% off retail), this Horror Classics pack is well worth the price of staying locked indoors all night. Claw your way to this one while supplies last.

And whatever you do, don't go into the basement...

The Home Shopping Network is offering a set of 4 Colin Cowie Etched Red Wine Glasses for $5, marked down from $24.95 (with a supposed retail value of $60). According to HSN:

If watching the mess that is our financial markets isn't quite giving you your daily dose of stupidity, Wendy Nortcutt is here to help with The Darwin Awards 4: Intelligent Design. Amazon.com has it for $3.99, 70% off the $13 list price. From the publisher:

With over 1.5 million copies sold, the Darwin Awards series is the alpha chimp of humorous human mishaps. Despite being an international bestseller, and inspiring a movie-The Darwin Awards-these cautionary chronicles have failed to stop another generation of Darwin Award winners from steering motorcycles with their feet, heating lava lamps on stoves, using liquid soap as brake fluid, and drowning themselves in the kitchen sink.

Filled with more than 100 new tales of evolution in action, plus science essays and a parody research paper supporting Intelligent Design, The Darwin Awards 4 shows that when it comes to common sense, natural selection still has a long, long way to go.

If you have a toddler in the market for shoes, Stride Rite is the place to go.

Except that it's really expensive. But Amazon.com is offering these very nice toddler shoes for just $9.89, marked down from $44.95. According to the company:

The Sky from Stride Rite is made for that adorable stage between crawling and walking. Enhanced with the ultra-comfortable natural motion system, these little shoes are packed with features to help build walking confidence. A contoured landing lends stability and balance, while innovative flex grooves help babies keep their balance. The outsole also wraps up to the toe and heel for protection. And just for moms, there's a new hourglass shape that make it easier to slide shoes onto those squirmy feet, plus a lace-up design that ensures a perfect fit.

If you want them, order them right away. They're unlikely to last long.

SlickDeals reports that "Gamestop offers a Free Used Game withl your purchase of 2 used games (with code GSB2G1). The lowest price game will be the free one. This is valid in store and online both."

Another thing: if you like the idea of having a video game system but haven't wanted to spend the money, GameStop is also offering refurbished Nintendo GameCube systems for $30! You can get used games for under $10 and, with the coupon code, walk out with a GameCube and three games for less than one Ulysses S. Grant.

The Daily Deal for Saturday, September 27, 2008

Got grocery bags? If you're in Seattle, Washington or a number of other U.S. cities considering following the northwestern trailblazer, you might be replacing your plastic bags with something more permanent. The Gregory Gran Torino bag sounds like a great answer; it combines "the best features found in briefcases, messenger bags and urban backpacks and blends the functionality into a look that's distinctly contemporary and complete."

It's high praise from a bag manufacturer, of course, but it's a good deal so why not check it out? Other retailers had the bag listed at $74.95 to $128.95, so this is a screaming deal at $24.97 at Altrec.com. It includes a laptop sleeve, waterproof outers, and lots of room for books or groceries. Bike to class, bike to the coffee shop, bike to the grocery store, and your things will be fine. Best of all: no 20 cent surcharge to carry home your bagels and brussels sprouts.

Unsure what to do this weekend? Let me plan it for you.

Don't take me too seriously. I can hardly handle navigating my own weekends, and I'd break under the pressure if even one or two readers asked me for help. But I do have an idea, which I found on a fellow writer's blog, Atlanta On the Cheap, just to give credit where credit is due. And it's a web site that any WalletPop reader living in Atlanta should know about.

But I digress. This Saturday is Museum Day, sponsored by Smithsonian Magazine and the esteemed Smithsonian Museum, arguably the greatest museum ever and a must-see anytime you visit Washington, D.C.

The Daily Deal for Thursday, Sept. 25 is: Men's suits at up to 70% off.

Look. It's getting ugly out there, economy wise. It might be a smart use of your shrinking American dollars to buy yourself a new suit and ready yourself for the job market. You know, just in case.

The first place to go is Jos A Bank, purveyors of all that is manly and executive. The retailer is currently selling fine men's suits for up to 70% off retail prices.

Like this lovely specimen to your right, for example. It's a two-button, premium light wool suit and trouser blend, normally selling for $550, now on sale for $199. Can you afford not to make an investment in such a steal? Check out this and other fantastic suit deals here, and hurry, because the sale ends Sept. 26 or until supplies last.

There is a snap in the air in many parts of the U.S., which means leaf change is not far away. Sadly, leaf change is quickly followed by leaf fall, and the need to rake, pile, bag or mulch leaves. A leaf blower can make the job go much faster.

The Toro Ultra Vac 51599 was a Consumer Reports Best Buy for convenience, performance and durability. Amazon currently has the Toro on sale for $69.99, $10 to $20 less than most retail locations. The deal comes really comes to life with free shipping. Keep in mind that it'll cost you $.50 per mile to drive to a store to buy the same model. If you don't live in the heart of consumerville, free shipping could save you a lot of money.

The holidays are quickly approaching, and with them so is the need for a bigger memory card. Thankfully Kingston has come to the rescue, offering a 2 GB SD card for $6 with free shipping to boot. This is an excellent deal on a memory card and would be the perfect stocking stuffer for the budding photographer in your family. It would also make a great companion to the cheap digital picture frames that are predicted to be on sale on Black Friday!

A 2 GB SD card can hold somewhere in the range of 1,000 pictures depending on the quality you choose, providing more than enough space to capture all of your favorite holiday events, even those you'd rather forget, such as uncle Frank's gut busting turkey dinner! SD cards can also be used to save games on the Nintendo Wii which while overrated in some areas, has the most consumer friendly game save media.

Generally a 2 GB SD card from a name brand company such as Kingston will cost you at least $15 in a brick and mortar store or $11 plus shipping from another online store. Any time you can pick up three for the price of one qualifies as a good deal in my book!
