Deal of the Day - 9/9/14

Hello All,

Happy iPhone 6 day!  In only a few hours it will be announced.  On to the deal at hand.  Woot is selling a refurbished roku 3 for $67.99 shipped to your door.  This is $100 regularly and a great deal at this price.  If you have kids the PBS kids channel is great, and totally free.  Netflix, HBOGo, Youtube, and loads of other channels are on the unit or available to download for free.  It works with both iOS and Android and is not tied to one platform or another.  It is the best streaming device available right now.  Grab one if you do not have one already, you will thank me.

You can read about the Roku 3 here, here, and here.  You can find this deal here.

Deal of the Day #2 - 9/1/14

Hi Again,

This deal is not nearly as good as the last one, but more people can use it.  Walgreens is offering 30% off everything photo that they sell.  Use the code PHOTOTHIRTY at checkout to get this discount. This promotion is running through the end of September, so you have loads of time to find and print something at a discount.

Deal of the Day - 9/1/14

Hi All,

Happy Labor Day.  There are sales all over the place right now, one specifically to watch is Best Buy is selling iPad Minis for $199, which is $100 off and the lowest price I have ever seen for a new iPad mini.  Note, this is the first generation mini, not retina, and 16GB, but an incredible deal for a new iPad.  If you have not used or read about iPads, I don't know how you are reading this blog, but you can find reviews here, here, and here.

Deal of the Day - 8/26/14

Hi All,

Today only, get a great deal on a Samsung ILC camera today, the NX1000.  This would be a great camera for anyone who is looking for something better than their point and shoot, but not ready to spend the money on a full DSLR.  As a bonus it has wifi built right in so you can upload photos right from the camera, or connect to the camera from your phone or tablet and edit and upload from there. You can read about the camera here, here, and here.

Deal of the Day - 5/2/14

Hello All,

Many people will tell you print is dead, but I still enjoy it.  It is becoming increasingly rare that you are forced to focus on one item for a long period of time, print makes you.  If you are like me and enjoy focusing on only one thing from time to time, then this deal is for you.  DiscountMags is selling subscriptions to some very popular magazines right now, and as a bonus, it works for renewals.

You can find this deal here.

Since I probably will not find a deal tomorrow, a big Happy Birthday to the best brother-in-law in the world.  Look forward to seeing this weekend Craig.

Deal of the day - 3/19/14

Hello All,

Three posts in a row, man when was the last time that happened.  Today only Amazon is selling certified refurbished 8.9" Kindle Fire HD for $129.  The tablet comes with a full one year warranty just as a new one does, it is just a new one does, but it is $170 less than new pricing.  In case you do not know this is basically an iPad for a little over $100.  The iPad is a superior device, but it is not four times the device, which is what it would have to be for this price.  The Kindle Fire has some nice parental controls for limiting screen time and access to apps.  The only negatives I see are the ads and that it does not come with a power adapter.  Wow, no power adapter, sneaky way to reduce the price.  The ads do not seem to be very intrusive, but still ads are annoying on something you pay for.  Two strikes against it, but for the cost still a great value.

You can find reviews here, here, and here.
