Win Big - 40 Sweepstakes Links

Let's break from the deals for a minute for some contest entries. Submit entries, write reviews, or put your email addie in the hat and dream big. Even if you don't win, thinking about what you'd do with some of these prizes is fun. But hey, chances of winning on some of these contests are much better than your chance of winning the lottery! Several of them are wrapping up, but there's still time to get your name in.

One drawback to signing up in online contests is that you usually get junk email. If you're concerned about that, get a (free) yahoo email account and use that for your contest entries.

97 Cent Shipping - Receive by Christmas!! (Today Only)

Here's the latest news from Walmart.com:

We are going to finish up the online holiday season in style with 97 cent shipping on top items in multiple categories! The last minute shopper will be able to find that special gift and save with 97 cent shipping and have it delivered just in time to go under the tree (December 24th Delivery). Additionally, 97 cent shipping will be available only on 12/18 for ALL items in the following categories: GPS, Digital Cameras, and MP3 Players!

Usually I try to stick with sales that are more than 50% off, but if you've been putting off your shopping and need to get something to your home before Christmas, this is a good offer. Walmart usually has competitive prices, so you probably won't find the same pricing elsewhere, especially on short notice. If you're not sure what to get, look over some of the top 10 selling items in each section to see what other shoppers are choosing this season.

The camera pictured above is a Canon 7.1 MP PowerShot A570 IS Digital Camera. It comes bundled with an all-in-one photo printer (Canon PIXMA MP470) and a bonus pack of 70 sheets of 4x6 photo paper to get you started. This would be great for someone who doesn't have a digital camera yet and would like to start with something easy to use. The bundled printer is convenient for making prints right at home and even before your guests leave your Christmas party!

Other items items with .97 shipping:

• ALL MP3 Players
