Friday's Deal Mail!
My #1 deal this week is not only a good deal, but its a really cool product. The one cup coffee makers is a completely new appliance this year and it is going crazy. Basically, manufacturers figured out an easy way to make a stylish looking, small appliance, that could make really good coffee, cup-by-cup. You don't have to make a whole pot and worry about having too much or not enough, and its never any trouble to make just one cup for someone. (The whole concept isn't hurt by the fact that all of these machines look really cool as well.) Anyway, these things are just coming out and are hardly on sale anywhere. I found a great deal on one on the Amazon site, and it turns out to be one of the best ones out there. Check it out everyone (Even if you think you aren't interested, its worth seeing)
The second deal is a fantastic price on a noise-cancelling headset by Plantronics for Mobile/Cordless phones. It's under 8 bucks (69% off) today only and it even comes with a free copy of Simon @ Schuster New Millennium Encyclopedia.
In the theme of all the upcoming holidays, there's some great deals on some housewares & stuff. First, a great deal on a really highly rated salad spinner by Zyliss. This one normally goes for about 21 bucks but is on sale right now at $12.99. Hey, think of all that company or your dinner parties, you know you need one!
For everyone who got the Duvets last week (and the rest of you too) there is a fantastic deal on a double set of all-down pillow. The great thing about these? If you're allergic, they certify that it won't bother your allergies with a warranty specifically designed for that (!!) These are made by the excellent company Pacific Coast Feather (from right here in Seattle!) and are 60% off right now and are litterally flying out the door...
If you're like our friend, you wouldn't be caught dead trying to cook without a heavy iron pan to get the real flavor in your food. If you're into that, check out the inclredible deal on right now for the 10 1/4" skillet for under $10!!
Since I know that the swiss army knife and the leatherman the week before went out of stock so quickly that a few of my friends missed it, I thought I'd search this week for a decent replacement. Check out the great price on the Gerber Legend Multi-Tool. Anway, they are equal in quality to the Leatherman series and a really nice tool to have for the upcoming hiking season at a great price.
Since I have lots of friends still loving the Atkins diet these days, I thought I'd pass on this deal I saw earlier this week for vitamins if you're on it. Sounds like a good thing to have (I can't imagine the all steak & eggs diet doesn't require at least some vitamins every once in a while!) They're 35% off at a great price. Be sure to consult with your doctor before taking it! Atkins Diet Accel Dietary Supplement (45 Capsules)
Here's a today only deal that is really amazing. If need an iron, there is a deal for 83% off an iron by Haier. Folks this really is today only, but how can you beat an iron for 5 bucks?!?!?!
Last deal before the final deal: Last year I featured a great deal on a Waring juicer that was one of their top of the line models in all stainless at an unbelievable price. The problem was that Amazon had so few of them that we were out of stock almost immediately and it was a limited quantity item. Anyway, they are finally back in stock at 60% off!! It has great reviews and I know a ton of people that have bought it and love it. It started at $150 and now its under $60 brand new with free shipping!
Finally, under the always-surprising, "I can't believe Amazon sells that!" category, an absolutely beautiful live flowering bonsai tree is at a great price (30% off!). (Perhaps its on sale because no one knows we sell this stuff...?) Anyway, they're really nice and would make a great gift for someone (including yourself...)
