Black Friday 2010 – Walmart Price Matching!

Shaun Carter — Wed, 24 Nov 2010 21:58:18 +0000

I have just heard that Walmart will pricematch any item if you have the advertising circular in hand at the register. This is a pretty big deal and could mean an easier time getting certain things at the world’s largest retailer that may sell out faster at smaller outlets like Target, Sears and GameStop.

Some of the top electronics deals at Walmart this year include:

eMachines laptop – $198

42″ LCD TV – $398

XBox 360 4BG w/ 2 Games – $199

DVD Movies – $1.96

Bluray Movies – $5

With all of these deals starting at 5am on Friday, Walmart will be the place to be as usual this Black Friday. Good luck!

Buy $50 Worth of Gap Apparel for Only $25 AND Get 7% Cashback!

Groupon is a site that I have not used until now. Groupon caters to mainly local businesses to offer great deals in order to spur business at these small retailers and restaurant. However, Groupon decided to experiment with offering a national brand offer today. Simply buy a “Groupon” for $25 and you can print it off and use it at a Gap store for $50 worth of clothes and merchandise!

To make this deal even sweeter, sign up with Cashbaq and you can enjoy an additional 6% cashback on your initial Groupon purchase. I used my PayPal Debit card for an additional 1% cashback on my purchase as well.

My purchase price after rebates will come to $23.25… a 53.5% discount on my next $50 purchase at Gap! This deal expires at midnight tonight, so I just barely got my order in before it was over.

Bing Cashback Comes to an End

July 30, 2010 was the final day for Microsoft’s cashback search engine program, Bing Cashback. I was sad to see it go because using Bing resulted in many great deals for me. The best deal I scored using Bing was a brand new Playstation 3 on eBay that I received $102.50 in cashback.

I’m assuming that the program was not very profitable for Microsoft and likely didn’t result in any market share gains against the likes of Google. Considering that Microsoft is sitting on a cash pile approaching $40 BILLION, it would have been nice to continue rewarding online shoppers with huge cashback offers.

Some great alternatives to Bing Cashback include:

Big Crumbs

Mr. Rebates

Ebates

Under the Dome – Stephen King for Under $10

Shaun Carter — Fri, 09 Jul 2010 20:42:17 +0000

I was first intrigued with Stephen King’s novel Under the Dome when it was released in hardcover at a whopping 1074 pages back in November. But I rarely purchase hardcover books because of their sizable expense so I have waited patiently for the paperback release.

I just purchased my copy of Under the Dome on BarnesandNoble.com through a cashback online shopping portal called Ebates. Ebates is currently offering 6% cashback for any purchases made through their site to Barnes and Noble. This is in addition to a $5 signup bonus for each new free member to the site.

There is also a B&N coupon code good for 15% off one item (M7H9M7E). The B&N price for the paperback edition of Under the Dome is 11.69, a 41% savings off the list price. The coupon code saved me an additional 1.76 and my Ebates cashback will be another 60 cents.

My total price for Under the Dome = $9.33

People often poke fun of me for being such a die hard online money saver, but the results are quite staggering. I have saved thousands of dollars online and earned hundreds of dollars in cashback for doing the same shopping that you do. I am currently in development of a new website to teach others how to save significant sums of money online by combining coupon codes, cashback and special offers. Stay tuned for more details!

It's Time For Holiday Photo Cards!

It’s that time of year again, to get the family together for a picture and send out Holiday Photo Cards to
all your friends and family members. Vista Print offers a wide selection of Holiday and Christmas photo card options at very affordable prices, some starting as low as $3.99.

You can choose from folded cards, 4″x8″ photo cards, holiday collage cards, foil accented photo cards, holiday letters and caricature holiday cards. I personally like the folded cards that can have one or multiple photos on the front of the card and then a message on the inside.

Ordering from Vista Print involves a very simple step by step process and the site offers help at every step of the way. You will need to make sure you a have the photo you wish to use for your holiday card loaded onto your computer so you can upload it to Vista Print. You will then be able to view your holiday card online with the picture on it and make any changes you want to either the front or inside of the card using Vista Print’s online editing tools.

Don’t forget to watch for special one time offers that are made available to you during the checkout process and after you submit your order!
