Flip for a Mino, quick!

July 2, 2009 | Hot Hot Hot!, Product Talk

The current Lightning Deal at Amazon is the Flip Mino 60-minute camcorder bundle for $130 shipped. That’s a great price if you’ve been looking to get the higher-end Flip.

As always, Lightning Deals go quick, so get on it if you’re interested.

Digital meets paper photos

Hot Hot Hot!, Product Talk

I’m always on the lookout for cheap digital frames—you can’t have too many photo displays, in our house—but this Pandigital frame at Buy.com may just be my new favorite. There’s three openings for regular photos along with the digital section. So it’s a collage frame, as well as a digital frame.

And it’s just $29.99 shipped. Tough to beat that!

It’s a Boom Blox Bash

June 30, 2009 | For the kids, Hot Hot Hot!, Product Talk

I got a free trial of a video game rental service a while back, for the kids. I asked them what games they wanted to put in the queue, and they gave me a list of about six different ones. First on the list was Boom Blox, and when it came they played it relentlessly and by the end of the trial, we’d never received anything else. Because the children were unwilling to give up Boom Blox. (It really is a fun game.)

Now there’s a new Boom Blox game! And right now Boom Blox Bash Party is just $29.99 at Amazon—an amazing price considering it’s still pretty much brand new. It has great reviews, too.

I may have to break down and buy it.

Insert your own organizational joke here

June 29, 2009 | Hot Hot Hot!, Product Talk

It’s never going to stop being funny to me, how excited y’all get over deals on label makers. First there was sliced bread, and it was pretty cool, but man, once those label makers came along…! Well, hey, whatever floats your boat. Plus, I bet you know exactly where everything is.

Anyway, today you can pick up a Brother P-Touch 1010 label maker from Buy.com for a cool $9.99 shipped. (It has good reviews and a much higher price over at Amazon.)

Go forth and label!

Sew away sew away sew away

June 25, 2009 | Hot Hot Hot!, Product Talk

Been on the lookout for a cheap but decent sewing machine? Amazon’s Gold Box Deal today is a Brother 32-stitch machine for just under $80 shipped. The reviews are largely favorable, and it sure beats buying a fancy-schmancy machine if all you really need is something that will do a reasonable hem.

Pretty little blender

June 24, 2009 | Hot Hot Hot!, Product Talk

I like small things. They’re cute. They entice me. And so, yes, I’m hanging my head in shame, but I have been intrigued by the Magic Bullet blender ever since I saw the first TV commercial for it. It’s so cute! And everyone can have their own mug! And we love smoothies!

But I’ve never bought one, because they’re kind of pricey and just seem superfluous.

Today that might change. Right now Kohls has the Magic Bullet Express 17-piece set for just $39.99. Because I’m a Kohls card holder, I can use coupon code MVCFIFTEEN for another 15% off and code MVC9990 for free shipping—getting me that adorable little blender for $34 shipped. As a point of reference, it’s currently $50 at Amazon. (Don’t have a Kohls card? You can use code THANKS9710 for an additional 10% off, and right now shipping is free on orders of $75+, if you have other shopping to do.)

I could be the smoothie queen with this, don’t you think?

Label me this

June 23, 2009 | Hot Hot Hot!, Product Talk

I think y’all must be a lot more organized than I am. It’s the only explanation I can come up with as to why everyone goes completely nuts whenever there’s a good deal on a label maker.

Well, prepare to faint with glee—today Buy.com is offering the Brother P-Touch PT-1280 label printer for just $11.99 shipped. (For reference, that’s another 45% off of Amazon’s current price.)

I know it’s summer, but keep in mind that these make awesome teacher gifts. Just sayin’.

Clip ‘em at home

June 22, 2009 | Hot Hot Hot!, Product Talk

One of the easiest ways to save money is to learn how to cut hair. It’s really not hard, I promise! Cutting boys’ and mens’ hair is particularly easy, once you have a good set of clippers. I also trim my daughter’s hair (again, not too difficult), and figure I have a few more years before she wants/needs “real” haircuts. I also find that cutting everyone else’s hair makes it a bit easier for me to part with the money I spend to get my own hair cut. Ahem.

The gold standard for clippers is Wahl, and right now Amazon is offering this deluxe Wahl clipper set for $41.40 shipped. There’s supposed to be a promotion whereby you can get $10 off a purchase of $49+, but guess what—it’s working on this set, even though it’s under the minimum. So go ahead and take $10 off with coupon code WAHLJUN9, and then there’s also an eligible $5 mail-in rebate available here.

Net result? A high-quality clipper set delivered to you for around $26, and years of savings on haircuts. Nice.

One week to save big on carseats

June 21, 2009 | For the kids, Hot Hot Hot!, Product Talk

(Having a good Father’s Day? Yes? Excellent!)

Through June 27th, 2009, Amazon is offering $50 off select Britax carseats, some of which are already on sale. It doesn’t exactly make them cheap, but if you’re in the market for a Britax, this would be an excellent time to buy one. Britax supposedly makes the safest carseats available on the market today.

Even better if Dad is busy playing golf or whatever, today, while you buy it. Heh.

Shred me, break me

June 10, 2009 | Hot Hot Hot!, Product Talk

It seems like everyone I know is “miraculously” getting in shape in just 20 minutes a day, using the widely-touted 30 Day Shred DVD from Jillian Michaels.

Personally, I suspect that if I buy a copy, despite the extra jiggle in my thighs, it will languish (possibly on top of my Wii balance board, ahem) and collect dust while I bemoan my inability to get into shape and continue sitting at my desk. But desperate times call for desperate measures, and the DVD is only $9 right now….

I may just throw it in my cart while I’m looking at the DVDs on sale for Father’s Day. I’ll think about it. (Come to think of it, I’m guessing my husband might prefer a newly-shredded body on his wife over another movie….)
