EBay and Craigslist

We spend lots of time looking at retail sites trying to find a great deal. And, we are frequently successful. But we should spend a little time talking about a two really great places to find a great deal

1. EBay: eBay is a place that can be hard to find a great deal, BUT, if you are persistent and don't mind some used goods, sBay can be a wonderful place to find clothes, used electronics and more, often a tremendous prices. (I just sold a 16G iPhone for $42. The recipient got a HUGE deal! The place is chock full of great deals!
2. The other place that we are ALWAYS looking at is craigslist.org. Craigslist is wonderful for kids clothes and toy, furniture and tickets. Mrs. Deal City Blog has found so many great and wonderful things (like great princess shelves for the Deal City kids...and we paid a $1. (And we just bought a great keyboard for the kids for $25...fantastic!)

I know that eBay and craigslist are very web 1.0 and very staid. But they are vibrant and exciting marketplaces where you should investigate for great deals!

Free Kashi Chewy Granola Bar

Kashi (purveyors of things yummy and healthy) has a new line of healthy, chewy granola bars and they are giving them away FREE!

Kashi's TLC line is full of delicious stuff. Around the Deal City house, we are partial to TLC Crackers, so we signed up for a sample of the latest member of the Kashi family right away!

Free Garnier Nutritioniste Skin Renew Eye Cream from Walmart!

Hey Gang...free is a great price. And WalMart, with their value-lovin' ways has come out with a great deal. Hand over some personal info to the big W and you will get a free sample of Garnier Nutritioniste Skin Renew Eye Cream (SPF 15). As an indication, 0.5 ounces of this stuff retails for about $15, so this is a good value!

Save your skin with Nutritioniste. This nourishes the sensitive skin around your eyes and protects it from sun damage.

Calvin Klein FINAL PURCHASE SALE

So, I ran across a cool portion of the Calvin Klein site. It is a final purchase section. Great deals (all under $30) so the savings on CK goods is substantial. The  gotchya is that all sales are final...no returns or exchanges. Risky, but the reward is totally worth it!

Great Personalized Gifts from Exclusively Weddings

Exclusively Weddings is primarily for wedding party gifts, etc. But some of their great personalized items can make great stocking stuffers! This really nice Leather Money Clip is only $14.99 (normally $19.95)...the sale price makes it so that the personalization (initials!) are totally free. So for under $20 (plus shipping) you get a really handsome, useful, personalized gift. I think that is pretty great.

Men's Clothing Sale

Hey Gang...the holidays are near and you probably want to look your best (or have the man in your life) look their best.  So, here are 5 great men's clothing buys at Paul Fredrick, the venerable men's catalog:

1. Men's Suit Sale: Save $100 on suits, with free shipping on orders over $100. My pick of the bunch: The Reda Wool Pinstripe...simply gorgeous! (Through 11/08/2009)
2. Boxers: So, I don't usually buy underwear online, but this are stupendous undies. Made from quality cotton in great 140s broadcloth), these boxers in the clearance section are truly great.
3. Men's Ties: Paul Fredrick consistently has great ties. But here is a unique tie that is a great deal at $9.95: Satin Paisley Tie (in Navy). It may not be something that is in your every day lineup, but if you've got the right shirt, this is an amazing deal!
4. French Cuff Dress Shirts: The shirt selection at Paul Fredrick is pretty terrific all the time, but they can be a little on the pricey side. Paul Fredrick has introduced a bunch of "3 for $89" options. So at under $30/shirt (seriously, that is discount store pricing for shirts of this quality) these "3 for $89" deals are astounding, like the French Cuff Dress Shirt in Pinpoint Oxford Cloth.
5. Cufflinks: Since you just checked out French Cuff shirts, you'll need some cufflinks to go with it. Through 11/8, you can save $10 on cufflinks, and there is a good selection of "Buy One Get One at 50% Off" (like these Square Engraveable Cufflinks).

Get yourself a pre-holiday treat with these great looks (at great prices) from Paul Frederick!
