SONY 24" FLAT TUBE TV -- $200 Shipped @ Outpost
For those looking for a TV, this is a prety good deal for a new Sony TV. The cheapest price you can find this for elsewhere will be around $250+. Sony TVs are pretty clear/sharp in my expert opinion. ;)

Activity Atom $5.50; Energizer Lithium 4Pk $1; Morton's Steakhouse Offer; Kikit Tops $8; Cottonelle Offer; $10 GC to Sport Compact; Free Latin Food

2006-07-27T23:00:00.000-07:00

Ooo...for a split second I thought it was going to rain today! It's strange how the weather has been changing so rapidly recently. Maybe watching Inconvenient Truth will explain it. ;) Good thing we got those free tickets a few days ago, eh? ;)

Sesame Street: Activity Atom -- $5.50 Shipped(Orig. $20) @ Shop PBS
Looks like an interesting one for the young ones. :} The price is $6.97, but you can use coupon code THANKYOU20 to get an extra 20% off!
"Babies can enhance grasping, twisting/turning, visual discrimination, exploration with hands and other developmental skills as they turn, spin, roll, push and pull various activities included on the Fisher-Price® Baby Discoveries Activity Atom. Flashing lights, fun sounds and silly phrases are activated as each activity is played with."
Sesame Street: Activity Atom

Energizer Titanium Lithium 4Pk Batteries(AA or AAA) -- $1(Orig. $5) @ CVS
If you have a CVS near you, then they are having these Energizer batteries on sale this week for $5 minus $2 instant savings. Also, on most packages of Energizers they have $2 coupons right now that you can just rip right off. Obviously the $2 coupon is a bit of a shot in the dark, but many have reported having it on their Energizer packs so I am assuming it is something that has just come out right now. That brings it down to $1 for the pack.

Morton's Steakhouse $100 for 2 People
I know this doesn't seem like a normal deal that I would speak about since it's actually pretty expensive, but if you're looking for a nice night out, then this is a great deal because Morton's is usually much more expensive, and their food is yummy! :} Click on the link below for details on the meal that is included.
Morton's Steakhouse Offer

Kikit Women's Tops -- $8(Orig. $24) @ Amazon
These are some pretty nice tank tops. I really like the slight sequin accents that they have. You have to take a look though, because it's hard for me to explain what these look like. :}
Kikit Women's Tops

Cottonelle Toilet Paper w/ Aloe & Vitamin E -- $55 Shipped for 96 Double Rolls
Click on the link below for the 48 pack, and add two to cart. Use coupon code GROCERY2 to get $10 off your order of $49+. This brings it down to $55 shipped. Yes, it is probably not the cheapest you can get it if you clip alot of coupons and wait for the sales, but this is shipped free to you. :} It's nice to have a huge supply of toilet paper. ;)

Shipping Calculator Website
For all you ebay'ers and others who ship a bunch of packages, I found this pretty useful site that lets you compare all the major shipping companies (UPS, Post Office, FedEx, etc) just by inputting your address, the send to address, weight, etc. And it'll give you handy chart of the prices. THis could save you big bucks! Shipping stuff has gotten so expensive -- sometimes I wonder if it'd be cheaper to bring the gifts to people across the country in person. :}

Next click "Add to Cart" in your comparison chart. A popup should then ask you what color backpack you want. Choose the blue one, and it should show up at $1.79 in your cart!

Personalized Pet Bandana

Scrapbooking Paper -- $.06 per 12x12 Sheet
This is a great deal for the scrapbookers out there, especially since there are so many different styles to choose from. It'll probably only be worth it if you order a bunch of sheets though because shipping is about $5.

Theragran-M $1; Microsoft Mouse $4.99; 40% off at Joanns; Free Seasoning; Free Pain Patch

2006-07-26T13:56:00.000-07:00

I just looked in on the forums and see that a couple of members have taken the initiative to post the deals that they've found in there...so, all you Vicky's Deal-ers still on the sidelines, come on in and say "howdy!" :}

Theragran-M Vitamins .99 @ Walgreens
All Theragran vitamins are 1/2 off in their weekly Walgreens sale. Go to your local Walgreens, look in the "Easy Saver" booklet they have in the front of the store and pull out the $3.00 coupon to use on them! For example, the Theragran-M (black box) vitamins were $8 or so, so about $4 with 50% off sale, and take $3 off that with the coupon = $1!

Microsoft Optical Mouse $4.99 @ CompUSA
Need a replacement mouse? I've actually used this Microsoft Mouse for quite a few years and it works fine...does what a mouse should do! :} It's normally $15.99 instore, but it's only $4.99 online. Shipping is about $5-6, so if you need more than one, it works out better. Or maybe you can print it out to your local CompUSA and have them match their own online price.
Microsoft Mouse

New Joann's Coupon: 40% off
Use code JULE6402 (expires 8/2/06) for 40% off an item at Joann's website. They seem to run these sales less often now (I used to see a 50% off from them almost every other day) so if you need something, this might be a good time to use it.

Bordeaux 600TC Solid Cotton Sateen Sheet Set -- $57 Shipped (Orig. $180) @ Smart Bargains
This is a pretty good price for these sheets(I think they should be higher quality than some of the less expensive Amazon ones that I've posted). The price is $49 plus shipping that is about $8. Also, if you add like $2 worth of stuff, then you can take advantage of the $10 off $50 link for new customers.

Hi y'all. Gonna start off spending a few moments letting y'all know what's going on with the blog -- so I moved to our new domain name (http://www.vickysdeals.com) and right now, I'm still using blogspot to post stuff, which is also shown on my new domain name.

Also, I see some of y'all checking out the forums -- it on the link on the left hand side of the main page. All you gotta do is register (takes only a minute, even for me!

Reebok Strapless Silver Heart Rate Monitor Watch -- $30 Shipped(Orig. $80) @ Amazon
I should put a disclaimer on this one about how this heart monitor functions. This strapless heart monitor is only accurate if you sit or are just still. Thus, if you want it to monitor your heart rate during your workout you'll have to stop your activity and then measure your heart rate. It's a bit of a hassle but it's a compromise for those that don't like the ones that strap across your chest.
Product Features:
*Monitor watch provides heart rate measurements and recalls up to 42 laps
*No need for a cumbersome transmitter chest strap
*Countdown time and pacer mode/chronograph mode for interval training
*Touch sensors make measuring your heart rate effortless
*LCD display is large and easy to read

Dell E310 Computer with 17" Flat Panel $329

I was just thinking about how soon back to school season is, and I thought this was a decent deal for a Dell computer complete with a monitor. It's probably not the fastest machine for gamers out there, but for regular ol' school work, office work, and web surfing and email, it'll be great. It's amazing how much computers have dropped in price...I remember way back when my nieces and nephews were going off to college and fretting about the $2,000 it'll cost to get a computer...and now, these days...$329?! Wow.

50% off @ M&M's Store

I remember visiting the M&M (and Coke) store while we were in Vegas. Lots of cute things. I never knew they made so much stuff featuring M&M's. :} Online, they're having a 50% off sale on a LOT of items, but beware, the shipping rates are obscene, so it might only be worth it for larger orders. It's fun to look at the stuff anyway. :}

NYC Restaurant Week 2006

We just missed this by a little, but I hope someone can take advantage of this. "New York’s finest restaurants are serving up three-course prix-fixe lunches for $24.07 and/or three-course dinners for $35.00. Beverage, tax and gratuity are additional. " I think this is a great way to try places where meals can cost a lot higher than what they charge during this time. Fun way to "live the sweet life" once in a while. :}

Tumi 40% Off Sale

Update on some deals from earlier today

2006-07-11T17:53:00.000-07:00

I just wanted to let everyone know that the free Slurpee deal at 7-11 indeed does work. :} At my local 7-11 there were 7 oz. Anniversary cups that I could fill with Slurpee for free. After I got my Slurpee, I went over to American Eagle, tried on a pair of jeans, and they gave me a free movie ticket for AMC, Loews, Cineplex Odeon, Magic Johnson, and Star theatres. It excludes Canadian theatres, AMC Premium locations, and IMAX locations. I will be bringing the whole family tomorrow. ;)

Also, the United Airlines Oakland to New York deal appears to be over. :( It's ok though...I am sure another airfare deal will pop up soon.

Lindt Chocolate In Store Sale
Lindt is currently having a sale on their chocolate -- up to 90% off. The items are limited, but the selection is still good, especially because Lindt is not too overpriced for high quality chocolate. Their chocolate is not too sweet and it tastes very...chocolatey. :}

Legends Dining Table -- $90 Shipped @ JC Penney
The table is $60 with ~$30 shipping to the store where you have to pick it up. Otherwise, if you want it to beshipping directly to your home, then it's $90 shipping, which is pretty steep. However, the table is really nice. I think maybe I am just a sucker for glass top tables.

CompUSA Inventory Blowout Sale
There are quite a few items here that are pretty cheap, but I won't list them all, because it's probably a need-based sale in that if ya need it, you'll find a good price. :} The wireless router for $15 is pretty good and I may pick it up as a spare for our home.

I think that we may finally see Pirates...haha...I'm saying that as if it's been out for so long, but it's only been a weekend. :} But it's already made more money than most movies make during their whole run! I love Johnny Depp so I'd gladly pay $132 million to see him in Pirates. ;)

2006-07-09T22:29:00.000-07:00

What a beautiful day it was today! The weather was absolutely perfect, and there was a nice breeze going throughout the day. It's days like these that make me want to go out for a jog, but then the laziness kicks in and then I end up staying indoors anyway. At least these nice days make me want to jog, which is still pretty good. Hubby went for a 3 mile run though...showoff. :P

For example, if you want the first item, use item number 130674-T5 and also, if you are a Staples Rewards member, then you get free shipping.

HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY! No fireworks around here tonite, but I'll watch some on TV. Our family is pretty low key about the fourth of July celebrations though. We like to just relax and kick back and eat some good food. :}

Stop Junk Mail
This is a pretty cool new program that allows you to track and block those people that send you junk mail. Even if it doesn't work, it could still be useful. You choose an email domain at which you want your mail to be sent and then all email that goes to that email domain will belong to you. For example, if you choose the domain vickysdeals, then you will get any email that goes to @vickysdeals.endjunk.com. Thus, you can sign up for those freebies and newsletters to some random email like 1@vickysdeals.endjunk.com. Then you can designate all of those emails that go to vickysdeals.endjunk.com to be forwarded to another email account(perhaps your gmail or yahoo account). This could be useful for either trying to fix your junk mail problem or for just creating a whole bunch of new usable email accounts.

However, read the fine print to see the things that this doesn't include(accessories, reduced price items, etc).

James is getting into doing a little cooking lately, which is great except for the cleaning up part.

HSBC $25 Best Buy GC Offer; Chrome Showerhead $18; Vampire Costume $2; Cuisinart 10Pc Cookware $100; Bed in Bag $30; Photoshop Elements $20; MORE+++

Oh boy that was a late nite...even the kids stayed up way past their bedtimes so it's time for me to give them some naptime this afternoon so that they don't get too tired. Actually, I believe mama needs a nap too. :O

$25 Best Buy GC for Opening Account w/ HSBC
This is supposed to be a promotion for Best Buy credit card holders but it appears to be working for non-holders as well. If you open an HSBC online savings account, they will give you a $25 Best Buy GC. The interest rate is insanely high at 4.65% as these online banks are competing with each other to give the best interest rate possible. All you need to open an account is $1 in your new account. However, keep in mind that there is a $25 account closing fee if you close your account within 6 months of its start date so just keep at least $1 in there for 6 months. :} Even if you don't want the $25 GC, you should check out these online banks because their interest rates are significantly higher than the ones you can get in your local bank.
