Lightning Deal on a Panasonic Nano shaver

Are you keeping your eyes on the Amazon Lightning Deals? Right now there’s a killer deal on the Panasonic ES8103S Men’s 3-Blade (Arc 3) Wet/Dry Rechargeable Electric Shaver with Nanotech Blades, just $58 while the deal lasts!

I’d snap that one up if you’re in the market—the next lowest price I’ve seen is around $85. And that’s a nice razor.

Pssst!

If you picked up the Scotch laminator when it was the Amazon Gold Box deal, you might be interested to know that a 50-pack of the laminating pouches that go with it is coming up in the Lightning Deals in about half an hour.

Kohls for all, and all for Kohls

It’s Wednesday, so you already know that that means it’s sale day at Kohls. You may even already know that it’s the start of another Kohls Cash period, and you’ll earn $10 for every $50 you spend. Heck, you probably even noticed that shipping is free for everyone on $50+, and Kohls Charge Card holders can use coupon code XMASFREE for free shipping any order.

And on top of all of that, everyone can use coupon code SECRETSANTA for an extra 20% off.

But that’s not actually what I wanted to tell you about Kohls, today. What I wanted to tell you was that they currently have the Apples to Apples Party Box for just $17. Apply the discount and free shipping codes, and you get it delivered for around $14 (depends on your taxes)—a good 25% savings over Amazon’s sale price, and about 40% off the regular price.

We have purchased many games over the years, but Apples to Apples remains a family favorite. Go buy this right now if you don’t already own it; it’s a ton of fun.

Save money on dry-cleaning?

Apparently Lowes has started doing a Deal of the Day; there’s a bright red link to it from the upper right corner of their home page. Today’s deal is a Whirlpool “Fabric Refresher,” which looks a little bit like the Jetson’s shower stall, frankly.

The reviews are very positive, and it’s marked down to $79 from $199. Supposedly this will clean/dewrinkle your clothes to where you would require fewer trips to the dry cleaners. It sounds good, but… I don’t know. I’m a little skeptical. Anyone own one of these? I’m curious about it.

Hot LEGO alert

This is a good example of a deal you might miss if you’re not paying close attention:

Right now Amazon has the LEGO Ramses Pyramid Game for just $10, compared to $25 most everywhere else. Now… many of the other LEGO games cost less than $10, plus this one doesn’t have the best reviews, so you might just pass it by… but that would be a mistake.

This game comes with a 32×32 baseplate—for comparison, here’s one approximately the same size on sale for $7. Plus it comes with 13 minifigs (those retail for about $3-$6 apiece) and over 200 pieces, besides.

Maybe this is a so-so deal if you’re looking to play the game, but as an add-on LEGO set it’s a smoking deal for the pieces alone.

If you’re still looking for a flat iron…

… and you didn’t last week’s contest, today could be the day to score a deal.

The Solia flat iron I featured last week is currently just $79.99 including a free bonus heat-proof pouch, plus shipping is free. And today only, you can use coupon code NOV25 to take $25 off your $75+ purchase on anything at Folica, so the Solia would be just $55 shipped.

That’s a crazy good deal on a professional-quality flat iron.

Amazon + Cyber Monday = BFFs

The deals to watch today are going to be the Lightning Deals at Amazon, of course, but that’s not the only place on Amazon to find the hot deals.

Today’s Gold Box Deal at Amazon is the KitchenAid Pro 600 Stand Mixer for just $260—which is already a crazy good deal—and there’s also an available $50 rebate to go with it.

This is the mixer I own and I love it. (I had my mother’s old KitchenAid for many years, and when I finally killed it, I upgraded to this one.) I may even refer to it as “My Precious” from time to time, but that’s another story.

Get your Dyson to do more

So you scored yourself a deal on a Dyson, and you love it—Dysons seem to bring out a level of vacuum-love most normal folks wouldn’t otherwise experience—but now you’re thinking you need a few more accessories. Of course, it turns out that Dyson accessories are pretty expensive, so you’ve been holding off.

Why, the Flexi Crevice Tool alone will run you $30, and the reviews are mixed.

But today Amazon has the Pet Clean Up Accessory Kit for just $30, and that includes the flexi crevice tool, carpet cleaning tool, mattress tool, and 2 full-size specialty cleaning solutions. No need to have a pet in your house for this bundle to be a steal!

Word to the wise: I recommend not looking too closely at what the mattress tool extracts from your bed. Trust me on this one.

Crayola Color Wonder Magic Lightbrush deal

My kids are too old for this now, but even they see the commercials on television and act mesmerized (how do they do that?)—right now Amazon has the new Color Wonder Magic Lightbrush Kit with metallic paper for just $15.26 with free Prime shipping. That’s about half what it’s going for everywhere else.

[Edited to add: There's also an available $3 rebate you can get, too.]

I remember when Color Wonder was just markers that didn’t write on the walls. You know, back when dinosaurs roamed the earth.

The husband helps on Black Friday

Do you know how super-awesome my husband is? He is so amazing, he got up with me in the wee hours today and made me coffee. This is love.

Also, he’s a photographer, so while I was busy looking at video games (I am definitely not the adult in this relationship), he was scouting camera deals for me. Er, I mean, for you.

Here’s three high-end point-and-shoots he recommends, at great prices:

The Nikon Coolpix P7000 is currently just $279 at Amazon (a good $120 cheaper than anywhere else). The husband says, “This is a top-of-the-line point and shoot with full manual controls and the ability to access the Nikon flash system.”

The Canon PowerShot S95 is currently just $289 at Amazon ($30 cheaper than elsewhere before the bonus items), and there’s a promotion to get a free mini-HDMI cable and 4GB SDHC card with it, too. The husband says, “That’s one generation back, new S100 came out a few months ago. Great image quality, highly customizable and really small.”

And finally, the Canon G12 is currently just $380 at Amazon with the same bonus items as the other Canon (that’s about $50 off elsewhere before bonus items), and this is the highest-rated camera of the bunch. The husband says, “This is their top-of-the-line point and shoot. Again, everything from full manual to fully automatic and access to Canon’s flash system.”

Isn’t he swell? (Sorry, ladies, his brothers are already married.)
