ESPN Subscription - only $3.93


ESPN
Until midnight tonight (11/27), you can get a great deal on a subscription to ESPN magazine. After a discount, your final price is $3.93 for a year long 26-issue subscription. (Note: You have to order by clicking on the ESPN graphic to the left which goes to the site's "deal page". If you go to their ESPN magazine page, you'll see a higher price. The deal page will probably change to something else tomorrow, so if you click it and don't see an ESPN deal, you missed out.)



Term: 1 year (26 issues)
Special price: 4.79
Coupon Code: BLACKFRIDAY (saves 20%)
Total cost: 3.93


Customized Holiday Greeting Cards - FREE


Order Now
These holiday cards normally cost $12.99, but are free right now. You pay only the shipping which costs $5.95 for standard mailing. The slowest shipping will get the cards to you by December 18th if you order today. That may not be soon enough for cards that you plan to mail, so those may need a shipping upgrade. I'm planning to hand out my cards at parties that are scheduled after the 18th, so all I'm paying is the $5.95.


You can customize the style and layout of the card, choose a greeting (or write your own), add your name and even add your own photos if you'd like. Adding a photo does cost $2.49, so the cards wouldn't be quite free if you choose that option. Still, it's not a bad price if you must have a picture of your pet iguana (ok, ok... or your child) on your Christmas card.

UPDATE: I was able to get 3 different sets of these for free. When I tried the 4th set, the cart tried to charge me for them. I made each set and saved it, then added them to the cart (from my saved items) during checkout. The shipping total for the entire order increased to $8.65. Not bad for 30 customized cards with plain envelopes.

Cat in the Hat - $3.19 after discount

Actor/Actress: Mike Myers , Alec Baldwin , Kelly Preston
Year: 2003
Runtime: 72
Rating: PG (MPAA)

This adaptation of the classic children's book stars Mike Meyers (AUSTIN POWERS) as the wily talking cat with a tall striped hat and more than a few tricks up his sleeve. Set in a colorful make-believe world, the film tells the classic tale of a sister and brother, Sally (Dakota Fanning) and Conrad (Spencer Breslin), who pass a rainy afternoon with their crotchety baby sitter Mrs. Kwan (Amy Hill), during which they receive a visit from the mysterious Cat in the Hat, who leads them on a series of colorful, illogical, silly misadventures.


K-Pax - $3.19 after discount


Actor/Actress: Kevin Spacey , Jeff Bridges , Alfre Woodard
Year: 2001
Runtime: 121
Rating: PG-13 (MPAA)

A mysterious man (Kevin Spacey) shows up in Grand Central Station claiming to be an alien, and is promptly taken to a mental institution. When he doesn't respond to medication, he begins seeing a psychiatrist (Jeff Bridges) who is fascinated by him. The man calls himself Prot (rhymes with "boat"), and tells the doctor about life on his home planet, K-PAX. When he learns of Prot's ability to see ultraviolet light, and his savant-like knowledge of astronomy, the psychiatrist, despite his skepticism, begins to believe.


Patch Adams - $3.19 after discount

Actor/Actress: Robin Williams , Monica Potter , Philip Seymour Hoffman
Year: 1998
Runtime: 116
Rating: PG-13 (MPAA)

Tom Shadyac's (ACE VENTURA) film tells the true story of Hunter "Patch" Adams (Robin Williams), an aspiring doctor in the 1970's who attempted to treat his patients with a medicine that modern science had totally disregarded: humor. After a stint in a mental hospital where he discovers his need to help others, a young Patch enters medical school. There he develops his own methods of reaching patients as an antidote to the the pomposity he witnesses in his instructors and fellow students. While his patients and fellow staff members appreciate his approach, the powers-that-be frown upon his "unschooled" methods and attempt to prevent him from practicing.

Motorola Bluetooth Headset - $19.99

Motorola H500 Bluetooth Headset

These Motorola Bluetooth headsets are refurbished and are being sold at a great price. The list price on the site shows as $99.99. I've seen them being sold elsewhere for less than that, but not nearly as low as the current asking price of $20.


Here is some information about it, but you can find more by clicking the link above:

For users who demand superior performance and good value, the H500 offers the best of both because of longer talk times with a more stylish, compact and comfortable design all at a reasonable price. This headset is both discreet and stylish, yet highly functional. The overall compact size and lightweight of this headset allows for easy storage when not in use. Also, the lengthy talk and standby times include up to 8 hours of talk time or 150 hours of standby time from a single full charge (travel charger included).
