FREE $5 Credit For Instant Video Rental or Purchase at Amazon (For Wii Owners)

Bookmark and Share

Now through February 28, get a $5 credit towards any Amazon Instant movie or TV series video when you register a Nintendo Wii console with Amazon Instant Video.  We registered our Wii to test this out (it took less than 5 minutes), and we received the $5 credit immediately.  

I love that you can choose to use the credit towards instant movie rentals OR purchases, and it doesn’t have to be used all at once. We perused the selections and found thousands of new releases from family favorites to comedies.  In the $1 to $2 range, we found almost 20,000 videos available to instant rent  (several nights of free entertainment for us!) ~ everything from the latest episodes of Downton Abbey to fun family movies like Rio. 

      

Here’s the scoop on how to get your $5 credit:

  1. Register a Nintendo Wii console with Amazon Instant Video for the first time before February 28, 2013.  Go here to register yours.
  2. A credit for $5 will be automatically applied to your account after successful registration.
  3. Use the $5 credit for your purchase or rental of eligible movies or TV episodes. This credit will expire on June 30, 2013.

SAVE THE DATE: Sharon Young & Ladies Designer Brand Warehouse Clothing Sale ~ February 7-9

Bookmark and Share 

The time for our favorite Ladies Designer Brand Warehouse Sale has finally arrived again!  This huge, direct from the designer warehouse clothing sale only happens 4 times a year and the next sale runs next week ~ Thursday to Saturday, February 7-9. Everything in the sale is marked down 50% to 75% OFF retail, and they have sizes to fit just about anyone ~ from petite to women’s sizes and everything in between.

Take a look at some of the great finds we found on our recent preview visit.  We’ve included some sneak peek photos that we took just for our readers ~ a little taste of what’s in store…

    

We found the winter warehouse sale absolutely packed full of gorgeous winter and transition to spring fashion bargains.  We took special notice of the embellishment, textures, and attention to details found throughout the collections ~ the fabrics were lush and amazing. 

Several of the pieces have reversible design features (almost like getting 2 items for the price of one).  One of my favorite “on trend” reversible finds was the jacket below ~ black faux leather on one side, lined with a light textured animal print on the other.  It provides two completely different looks and a flattering longer length for $60!  It is a nice “Texas-weight,” go-with-everything jacket and would be great for travel.   

Reversible Jacket

We also found rows and rows of fabulous designer pants, tops, vests, and thousands of jacket designs ~ from traditional to trendy ~ even gorgeous Jackie O/Audrey Hepburn-style retro designs.  The jacket selection was immensewe even found a huge rack of one-of-a-kind jackets made of both real and faux leathers, as well as faux furs that were so well done, we had to look at the tag to find out they weren’t made of real fur.

   

Check out the fabulous vest above  ~ it’s faux fur, but looks convincingly real! 

  

We caught a closeup picture of the winter white wool blend jacket on the left so that you could see the amazing detail on this jacket ~ it has a textured cutout design on the fabric that is absolutely gorgeous. We saw this same jacket made up in a light heather blue color as well.

 

The February 7-9 sale will feature thousands of discounted items with prices starting at $20 and the most expensive items (dresses and jackets) at $60.

In a nutshell, here’s what you will find at the sale:

  • Over 18,000 gorgeous ladies clothing pieces, 50 to 75% OFF retail.  There is a huge selection that covers a wide variety of styles from trendy to traditional and from casual to dressy.  These are gorgeous top designer quality collections carried in high-end department stores and fashion boutiques ~ you’ll find them at this designer warehouse sale at a fabulous discount.
  • Ladies, Petite and Plus Sizes ~ something for everyone! Sizes range from Ladies & Petites 2-18 to Women’s Plus 14W-24W.
  • Half price designer fashions from: Sharon Young, City Girl, Multiples, A La Carte, Vicente, Tru Luxe and more. You will find rack after rack of beautiful clothes and everything to complete an outfit including tops, skirts, pants, and jackets.

   

Details, details
When: February 7-9, 2013 ~ Thursday & Friday, 8:00AM to 8:00PM
and Saturday, 8:00AM to 5:00PM
Where: 10367 Brockwood Rd ~ Dallas.  You’ll see signs directing you where to go (or just follow all the ladies you will see!).
Do note: There is a large dressing room provided for trying on all your finds, but typical of women’s fashion warehouse sales, it is ladies only and not private. Since this is a women only event, husbands, guy-friends and kiddos under 12, please stay comfortable at home.

Up to 50% OFF Select Refrigerator Water Filters ~ Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, Kitchenaid, & More (No Coupon Needed)

Bookmark and Share

Here’s a great deal if that pesky time-to-change-your-water-filter light is blinking on your refrigerator (or about to be)…

Once again, it is way past time for us to replace the water filters on our refrigerator, so it was nice to discover that through January 31, Amazon is giving an extra 20% OFF refrigerator filter replacements for select Whirlpool, Kitchenaid, Kenmore,  Maytag, and Amana refrigerators.  That savings is on top of the current discounted price you’ll see from Amazon, bringing some of the filters to 50% OFF the retail price you would normally pay.

For my purchase, that meant I received from Amazon, 2 Water Filters for more than 50% off the price of the same filters we previously purchased from Sears.

Buying Tip: Do note, that you won’t see the extra 20% discount subtracted from the selling price until you get to the final “Review Your Order”/Order Summary confirmation page (which is the last page you’ll see after you input your shipping and credit card details) ~ right before you actually approve the order to be placed.  It will look something like this (click picture to make it bigger):

Go here to view all the water filters that qualify for the extra 20% OFF sale.  The extra savings sale does expire January 31, 2013.

Enjoy and Share!    :)

40% OFF TurboTax Deluxe ($29.99 For a Limited Time)

Bookmark and Share

Amazon has a really great offer on TurboTax this week ~ $29.99 for TurboTax Deluxe Federal + E-File 2012 download for PC or Mac.  If you plan to use this do-it-yourself tax software this year, you might not want to wait on this one, as the price will unlikely stay this low for very long (historically, the price has continued to rise as Tax day approaches, and we expect this year to be no different).  Here’s the scoop…

For a limited time, Amazon is offering TurboTax Deluxe download for PC or Mac for $29.99  (40% OFF, MSRP $49.99) ~ a hot price that we don’t expect to last very long ~ it’s even cheaper than Costco Warehouse!  We did a price comparison with some of our favorite discounters and found this price to be $10 cheaper across the board (e.g. Costco is selling the same software in a boxed version at a discounted box price of $39.99). We haven’t found anyone who has beat the Amazon price yet.

:: Go here to get the TurboTax Deluxe download version for PC or Mac for $29.99.
