Deal of the Day #2 - 10/29/13

Hello Again,

RedBox is partnering with Verizon to try to bite into the Netflix monster, and competition makes for good deals for customers.  Right now they are offering a month free trial of the service, and at only $8 a month after it seems like a solid deal.  For that $8 you get four one day rentals from physical Redbox kiosks and unlimited streaming to their apps or your roku or computer.

We have netflix streaming only account, and amazon prime streaming so we have a lot of movies and shows on demand as it is, but I will sign up for the free month and give it a try.  They do not currently have any tv shows available to stream, but they have several thousand movies.  The great part of this is the free physical rentals though.  By themselves they would cost $5.16, so you are only paying $2.84 for the unlimited streaming part of this deal.  A movie a week, or two on the weekends seems easy enough to use up, where the netflix rentals would sit on the counter for months until we got around to watching them.

Find this deal here.

John

Deal of the Day - 10/29/13

Hello All,

Is has been a while, but here are two quick deals.

First up, a canon camera with a case and memory card for under $50.  Canon is selling factory refurbished A2200 cameras for $45.49 with free shipping.  It includes a 4GB memory card and a case.  This would be a great basic camera for anyone.  I bought one of these for my mother last Christmas and she loves it.  You can read more about the camera here, here, and here.  You can purchase it here.

If you want something with a bit more speed or zoom, Canon is selling many more models here.  With the stock currently available I would buy the ELPH 500 for my own use.

John
