<p>The roku deal on woot looked good to me, too, so I have one on the way. They’re sold out now, though. My DS has one and loves it – has it instead of cable – but he says you definitely need Netflix.</p>
<p>Lenscrafters - Son got a pair of two week contacts to try after his exam. One ripped after the first week so they gave him a replacement. This week he got five sets of daily-wear contacts to try out and the only cost was the exam which our insurance will pay for. We’ve ordered the two week contacts from Costco already but now we’ll have a prescription for daily’s too.</p>
<p>Terrific DKNY black dress pants at Syms. $14…marked down to $11. Fit beautifully…no need for tailoring.</p>
<p>Roku, Yes!
We have had the basic model for about 2 years and love it.
Paid $99 then, the woot.com model is superior. But ours works just fine.</p>
<p>Yes, we have the most basic Netflix subscription ($9/monthish). We have the one DVD that comes in the mail and ALL the movies and TV shows on Roku. There is always something to watch.</p>
<p>So what is a Roku and how does it work?</p>
<p>My good deal was getting a free iPod Touch and free all-in-one printer when I ordered a Mac to replace my 9 year-old Dell. Talk about a learning curve for this ol’ dinosaur. I’ve never used an iPod or Mac.</p>
<p>Re netflix…we wanted to updgrade to a blu-ray dvd and got one at Best Buy that streams Netflix. $129…plus the ability to play blue ray. We went down to the one disc at a time package because there are LOTS of free streaming choices. I wonder how long this will last…</p>
<p>Finally did a Harry and David 3 month fruit of the month club for college kid. Seemed like a bargain with the 20% off coupon I got in their catalog. Three packages of fruit for a total of $55. Don’t have to fill flat rate boxes 3 times.</p>
<p>My son’s thermos.</p>
<p>It keeps warm things warm and cold things cold.</p>
<p>Amazing!</p>
<p>I made an impulse buy yesterday. My H and I wandered into a furniture store a couple of weeks ago to buy casters for a bed and saw a couch that we really liked. We have been so poor lately and our furniture is seriously cast offs! Not that we aren’t poor still but we haven’t bought new living room furniture in 10 years and even then it was not very nice.</p>
<p>I liked this couch but wondered if I could get it somewhere else cheaper. I am always trying to find the best bargain. I’ve looked and found things I liked but I still really liked the first couch we saw. On my way home from walmart with meat in my trunk, I saw a sign on the furniture store that this particular brand was on sale. The couch that we loved was 50% off! I called my H, he was going back to his office from lunch, so he stopped by the store, and we bought a new couch and a new chair. I knew I was never going to find this stuff cheaper and so I splurged and bought both items. </p>
<p>I am so excited to finally have nice furniture that matches!</p>
<p>That is exciting, deb! As someone whose home is decorated in “Early Relatives” style I can appreciate how happy you must be.</p>
<p>Great buy on the furniture and good timing!!!</p>
<p>Sounds like a great deal! Enjoy the new room!</p>
<p>For those looking for luggage - one of the best travel bags around is on additional 20% discount at ebags - the Ricardo 2 compartment is simply the best, and I have traveled extensively for over 10 years. I can pack a whole work week’s worth of carefully planned outfits into it and with 2 compartments the hanging items come out looking great. </p>

<p>Thanks, singersmom. My DH doesnt like the new one we bought, so was looking for another option!</p>
<p>Thanks, singersmom. The bag looks great…Is it sized to fit into the overhead compartment?</p>
<p>Yes, that is what a wheel aboard is. It fits well but the extra 20% just disappeared. Price is still good but not as good as it was earlier this AM.</p>
<p>Amazon also has this travel bag for 20% off. I ordered one for my daughter and was able to get it quicker and the shipping was less on Amazon.</p>
<p>Just got my FREE replacement jacket from Columbia Sportswear (my old one was shedding omnitech after 10 years). The new one is even better and warmer than my old one. It looks great, fits better and will keep me nice & toasty for my upcoming trips!
YIPPEE! Thanks Columbia–I will continue being a very loyal customer of theirs. I now own the new jacket, another rain jacket, one vest and two technical warmup jackets from them. All of them were purchased at great prices but this free replacement beats them all!</p>
