TODAY ONLY: If you were disappointed that you missed the Kindle Fire refurb deal a few weeks ago,  you might be happy to know that Amazon just kicked off a new deal today that allows you to get a certified refurbished Kindle with Wi-Fi for $49 (saves almost 40% OFF the new, non-refurbished price of $79). Do note that this is only available today, and is being offered in a limited quantity.

Here’s the scoop on how to get yours:

1. Go to Amazon’s Fort Worth Local Daily Deal’s site and buy a voucher for the Refurbished Kindle Wi-Fi for $49 (here).

2. Go here to use your voucher and complete your Kindle Wi-Fi purchase.

3. Enjoy!

Amazon’s Certified Refurbished Kindle program tests, certifies, and refurbishes each Kindle to look and work like new. We also like that these refurbished units come with the same one-year limited warranty as a brand new Kindle.  Learn more about the refurbished Kindle here.

A little birdie told us that Amazon will be offering 50% OFF gift cards tomorrow on AmazonLocal.com’s daily deal site! Wooo-hooo!

You do have to be an AmazonLocal.com subscriber to get this deal (sign up here).  Also, note that there will be limited-quantities of these gift cards available, so you will want to buy your card as early as you possibly can tomorrow, March 20, to take advantage of this deal. I fully expect them to sell out.

ENERGY STAR Appliance & Home Improvement Tax Exemption Holiday for Texas ~ May 28-30

Posted on May 24, 2011 | Leave a comment

Bookmark and Share

Please pass along to anyone in the home improvement market…

  

Good News! During Memorial Day weekend, Texas shoppers get a break from
sales tax on purchases of some appliances and energy-efficient products like refrigerators and clothes washers ~ even lightbulbs!  This is a great way to get an extra “discount” and save on future energy costs if you are in the market for any of these items.

The products qualifying for the tax exemption are:

  • Refrigerators priced at $2,000 or less (college dorm-sized refrigerators even qualify)!
  • Ceiling fans
  • Incandescent and fluorescent light bulbs
  • Clothes washers
  • Dishwashers
  • Dehumidifiers
  • Energy Star Labeled Programmable thermostats
  • Air conditioners priced at $6,000 or less

The 2011 sales tax holiday begins on Saturday, May 28, and ends
on Monday, May 30 (Memorial Day Weekend).

                 ENERGY STAR logo

Qualifying products will need to display the ENERGY STAR logo. The discount can also apply to delivery and installation fees and  there is  no limit on the number of qualifying items one can purchase during this sales tax holiday.

To find out more, go to the Texas comptroller’s site, here.

P.S.  Be sure to check out this extra savings tip:  Pop over to Amazon’s Energy Star Appliance Rebate finder page (go here & look for the Energy Star Logo link in the left column).  They have an easy to search database of Energy Star rebates on qualified products, as well as recycling incentives for the proper disposal of old products.

REALLY Great Deal: CLEARANCE SALE on IPods at Amazon ~ Up to 30% OFF IPod Nano & IPod Touch!

Posted on February 10, 2010 | Leave a comment

Apple iPod nano 16 GB Green (4th Generation) [Previous Model] Apple iPod touch 16 GB (2nd Generation) [Previous Model]

Amazon IPod Clearance = Fantastic Prices.
If you are in the market for an mp3 player, Amazon is discounting their
remaining inventory of last year’s iPod models, including the second-
generation (2G) Apple IPod Touch and the fourth-generation (4G) IPod Nano.

Prices are discounted Up To 30% OFF.
This is a REALLLLY good deal.  I compared prices on the silver IPod
Nano to prices at about 10 other major online retailers ( from MacMall
to Target to the Apple Store) and found that this is indeed the best price
I could find (plus Amazon is always tax-free & FREE shipping to Texas!).

Click here, to see the full list of ipods on clearance at Amazon.

Wonder If Your Cell Phone Is Safe? Use This Radiation Emissions Phone Guide To Find Out

Posted on January 5, 2010 | Leave a comment

Your cell phone emits radiation every time you send out a voice or
text message (or even just surf the web). Some research studies (not all)
suggest that increased cell phone use might increase the risk for cancer or
even children’s behavior problems.  While these studies are not conclusive,
you just might want to use EWG’s guide to low radiation phones when you
shop for your next cell phone:

Click here to go to EWG’s list of safer, low-radiation phones or to
find out how your phone rates.
