Blackberry 7100, $99.99, J&R.com

Filed under: Shopping, Daily Deal

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.

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.

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.

2GB Kingston SD card: $6...and free shipping!

Filed under: Technology, Daily Deal

SD cardThe 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!

Cashmere bed socks: Disgraceful luxury at 59% off

Filed under: Daily Deal

The Daily Deal for Thursday, Sept. 11: Cashmere bed socks

Sometimes we all want just a little comfort at the end of the day. A cup of tea. A nice fire. Some cashmere bed socks...

You heard me right. Cashmere bed socks. Maybe you haven't heard the term "bed socks" before, but use your imagination and roll that phrase over your tongue: bed socks.

Gives you a little tingle, doesn't it? Can't you just imagine the feel of your tired dogs slipped into the welcoming, ultra-soft cocoon of cashmere as you get into bed at the end of a long day?

Sure, perhaps a little profligate. A bit on the line with silken, lavender-filled eye shades and 1,000-count satin sheets. But when you're only paying $25 for an item that normally sells for $62.50 and up, it's a little luxury that you can afford to let change your life. Or at least your dream life.

And as long as we're being disgracefully pampered, buy two pairs (pick the color of your dreams as well), and stock up for the long cold winter. Your feet will thank you profusely.
