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
  
  
• Top 10 Toys
  
  
• Top 10 GPS Units

Grand Magazine - Free (for grandparents)

While you're there, check out the website too: www.grandmagazine.com. There are photos and stories, announcements, articles on a wide range of topics and a lot more. There's even a list of grandparent nicknames. There are lots of Nana's and Nonna's, a long list of names under 'G' (grandma, grandmom, granny, grandpop, grandpa, etc), but the one that really made me laugh is on the 'C' page: Crapa. Hmmmm....

Free Calendar from Spice Islands

Here's one for the kitchen - a free 2008 calendar from Spice Islands. This 2008 Limited Edition Spice Art Calendar features 12 original pieces of art using a variety of spices. Enticing recipes from worldwide locations bring its theme "What the World Tastes Like" to life.

The Spice Islands web site goes beyond your normal spice company type of site. As you'd expect, there are recipes, spice and seasoning descriptions and a newsletter. The interesting thing here is that you can actually make an account and register your spices. Who would want to register a spice? Well, it will give you an easy reference of your spice cabinet and link you to recipes you can make with them. It will also help you track expiration dates, even notifying you by email when one of your spices expires.

What are your favorite spices? If you had to choose only a couple, what would you pick? If you have a minute, leave us a comment with your answers. My favorite spice is cardamom. The seasonings that I have to refill most often are cumin, onion and garlic powder.

Unlimited Christmas Music for 14 days

I am a Rhapsody subscriber and have been for years now. The reason I'm writing about this service today is that there are 14 days until Christmas and Rhapsody offers a 14-day free trial. If you were to sign up for the trial today, you could have access to their huge library of Christmas songs at no charge until Christmas day. Maybe you'll like the service and decide to continue it (I did), but if not, you can always cancel.

Once you've signed up for the trial, you can start searching for and playing all your favorites. If you'd rather have it run like a commercial-free radio station, you can do that too. To see the list of "radio stations", click on the Channel Guide tab near the top of the screen and the the Holiday genre on the left, then choose a channel.

My top channel picks are Joy to the World, Cool Yule, Fireside Chill and Modern Mistletoe. The "What's New" tab is also currently highlighting some Christmas music. If you like country music, try out the Ho-Ho-Hoedown channel which is currently playing things like White Christmas by Kenny Rogers and Silent Night All Day Long by John Prine.

Trying to kick the coffee habit?

If you're trying to kick the coffee habit or even just reduce the amount you drink, give Teeccino a try. When you subscribe to their Healthy Tips Newsletter, you can also get a free sample of the caffeine-free herbal "coffee". (Look at the right side of the page.)

As you'd expect, the Teeccino site has information about their products -- and they have a lot of flavors and grinds to choose from. However, it's also a useful site with extra articles and educational information. There is an article about quitting caffeine painlessly, a quiz to determine if you're addicted to caffeine and lots of information about the effects of caffeine on your health. For example, did you know that your coffee intake can have negative effects if you're trying to lose weight?

I have ordered Teeccino before and it's an interesting beverage. It doesn't taste quite like coffee or like tea. If you wanted something warm and tasty though, I could definitely see it replacing either of the beverages mentioned. The fact that you can brew it in your coffee maker and dress it up the same way you'd make coffees could fill that void if you want the caffeine out of your life.

Noise Canceling Headphones $39.99 (selling elsewhere for more than $100)

These Logitech Noise Canceling Headphones (980409-0403) are being sold for only $39.99 right now at TigerDirect. We found these same headphones - with an identical part number - at BHPhoto for $99.95 and at buy.com for $149.99.

If you've considered getting noise canceling headphones before, now is the time! These have exceptionally good ratings and reviews from users on all three of the sites mentioned above. People comment on using them to minimize motor noise on a bus and drown out various household sounds as well as being impressed with the sound quality and light-weight design.

Additional Description:
With SilentSound™ high-parametric noise canceling technology and custom-fit ear cushions, Logitech's Noise Canceling Headphones reduce outside distractions so you can enjoy each word and every note. Large 40mm neodymium drivers produce crisp, dynamic sound when you're in the mood for music, while the detachable audio cable allows you to create a quiet environment when you're not. Perfect for travel, the Noise Canceling Headphones also include an adapter for airplane audio systems and a protective carrying case so you can stow them in your carry-on.

Cork Lifter $1.29 (As Seen on TV $19.99)

List Price: $19.99
Current Price: $1.29

According to the Cork Lifter commercial, "just press a button and the cork pops right off." I don't know how well this works, but for $1.29 it could be worth trying out. One cartridge of compressed air is said to open up to 30 bottles.

If you have one of these and want to share your experience with others, please leave us a comment!

DivX Pro 6.8 - FREE (limited time)

For a limited time, DivX Pro 6.8 is available to download for free. This software usually costs $19.99. There are versions for both PC and Mac. In a nutshell, DivX Pro gives you everything you need to create DivX videos. The software includes the DivX codec, DivX converter, DivX player, DivX web player and the content uploader. While installing it, you're given an option to install the Yahoo toolbar. Make sure to change that to "no" if you don't want it. (It's totally unnecessary and unrelated to the DivX software.)

The software download includes the DivX Pro Codec and the most advanced version of the DivX video encoder. This allows you to create high-quality DivX files in combination with DivX Converter or another third-party encoding application. The DivX converter is used to create videos by dragging and dropping other video formats. The files created are high quality, but also highly compressed in order to save space on your hard drive. You can merge multiple videos into a single DivX file with an automatically generated menu.

Why would you want to make DivX files?? If you convert your files to DivX, you can do a lot with them since they are smaller than traditional video files. They can be burned to CD or DVD and watched on a TV with a certified DVD player. They could be transferred to certified handheld or portable devices to watch on the go. You can even post your home movies online, email videos to friends or store your entire video collection on your computer.

HP Computer Sale - 30% to 45% off

Just in time for Christmas, HP is offering several great deals. Click through to HP's store and read the specs on some of these computers. One of these deals is sure to match what you need. It's a great time for an upgrade.

Ending Dec 8 2007:

• 30% off HP Pavilion Desktop PC - good for computers regularly priced $799 and up. Must use coupon code DT6030.
  
  
• 30% off HP Pavilion Notebooks - applies to laptops priced $999 or greater. Use coupon code NB3075
  
  

Ending Dec 15 2007:

• Budget deal: Customized HP Pavilion Desktop starting at only $299.99
  
  
• HP Pavilion Desktop$400 off with coupon code DT9949 - applies to PC's priced $999 and up
  


• $450 off HP Pavilion d4996t, m9000z or m9000t Desktop PC - Use coupon code DT4996.
  
  

Computers are bigger ticket items than I usually post, but I decided to share these discounts after considering that people often shop for computers and electronics as Christmas gifts. I have purchased HP computers several times and have been happy with them. The lower cost notebooks don't feel quite as rugged as some of the higher priced competition, but you'd have a tough time beating these specs for the same price.

Belkin FM Transmitter $7.99 (was $49.99)

In what they are calling a Black Friday III promotion, buy.com is offering a Belkin F8V367 TuneCast Mobile FM Transmitter for only $7.99. They show the list price as $49.99. I have a transmitter that looks similar, but is a no-name brand rather than a Belkin. Even my cheap knockoff of the Belkin Tunecast cost more than $20. My copycat version may get replaced today. :)

Get one of these before they're gone. With the sale today, the sales rank has jumped from #1169 yesterday to #1 today. That's an increase of 116,800%!


What Does It Do?

Just in case these are new to you, let me briefly explain what they do. You would plug the transmitter into your MP3 player's headphone jack. Then (on the transmitter) you choose an FM station to broadcast to and tune in that station on your radio. Voila! The music from your little MP3 player comes out of the radio's speakers. This is great in the car.

Samsung Laser Printer $59.99 (reg $120)

The Samsung ML2510 Monochrome Laser Printer regularly sells for $119.99, but through December 10th, you can get it for $59.99 after instant savings and rebates. The checkout price of $99.99 includes a $20 instant rebate and then you send in a $40 mail in rebate after you receive the printer. Other sites such as CompUSA, CDW and PC Mall are selling this same model for $120-$138 without a rebate offer available.

This printer can turn out up to 25 pages per minute. It's a monochrome (greyscale, not color) printer, but if you don't need to print photos, this is a nice choice. At my house, we have both a monochrome laser printer and a color inkjet printer. Since the laser is a lot faster and has a lower cost per page, it gets used the most.

Geared toward parents with young children, this energetic magazine promises to enrich the lives of families. Offering a "we've been there, we know" sort of comfort to parents, folksy first-person articles let parents know they're not alone. A sense of community is expanded further in the "My Great Idea" section--culled from readers' letters--that suggests kid-tested ideas for everything from summer games to rainy-day projects. Homeschoolers will find plenty to ponder as well--a winter issue, for example, describes how a snowflake takes shape, then suggests a paper snowflake-making project. Reviews of digital games, books, videos, and DVDs, written by industry experts, help parents feel up to the minute. FamilyFun is positively inspirational to parents who want to shake up the routine and keep the magic in a family.

The publisher also has some videos on their site where you can watch some of their craft ideas. You can see them at http://familyfun.go.com/utilities/global/feature/fftv-archive-video-player/
