Two-year subscription to Reader's Digest for $15.00 ($7.50 per year) and Large Print Edition, $18.00


Get a 2-year subscription to Reader's Digest for $15.00 (or $7.50 per year) here (no promo code required).  That's 20 issues, 75 cents per issue.  The  newsstand cover price on a single isssue of Reader's Digest is $3.99, so this basically pays for itself by the time you've received the fourth issue.  This offer is good on new and gift subscriptions. 


Since it's not specified here, I did call Reader's Digest to make sure this offer would not auto-renew at a higher price and they said that it will not auto-renew if you purchase it from this page (whereas offers on other Reader's Digest sites do auto-renew).  This is a limited-time offer.

Daily Cheapskate reader, Fallon, bought four of these and personalized them, one for each of her kids (ages 4 to 15) and every morning, they each get "mail" from their parents (and printed-out emails from their grandparents and aunts and uncles) with friendly notes, chore assignments, "forms" asking them what they'd like for lunch and dinner, packages with goodies, library books and children's magazines that she's picked out for them etc.  She said that since they got their mailboxes, her kids bound out of bed in the morning to see what their parents the mailman put in the night before.   What a fantastic idea!

Bought Starkist tuna from 2009 to 2014? Join the Starkist Class Action Settlement.


Do you buy Starkist tuna?

There is currently a lawsuit pending against Starkist for underfilling their tunafish cans.  While Starkist denies doing this, they are willing to settle this claim by giving all of their consumers who purchased a select Starkist 5 oz. canned tuna product from 2/19/09 - 10/31/14 either a check for $25 or $50 in free product coupons.  We must have bought over a thousand cans of tuna over that 5-1/2 year period, as we are major tuna consumers. We opted for the $50 in free product coupons.  You can start your online claim here.  Select the third option, "I DO NOT have a claim number, but I would like to file a claim online." You must file a claim no later than 11/20/15 in order to be considered as part of the class.

You don't need to provide proof of purchases, but you are certifying that "under penalty of perjury that I purchased the above-selected StarKist product(s) in the United States of America during the Class Period. The above information is true and correct to the best of my knowledge," so only submit this claim if you actually did purchase Starkist canned tuna during this time period. Remember, this is not a freebie offer; it's a lawsuit settlement.

The settlement is scheduled to be approved (or not) on 12/17/15, so you can expect to get your $25 or $50 in vouchers some time after that.

    Updated list of Amazon School Supply Deals (15 new items added, 8/28/15)

    I've updated the Daily Cheapskate list of Amazon back-to-school supply deals for this year.  There are 15 new items on the list today, 8/28/15.

    Can you do better on the cost of school supplies at Staples and Office Depot?  On some items, absolutely, but you need to wait for the sale and get in the car.  For some of you busy Moms & Dads, the trade-off between the time spent loading your kids in the car,  going through the store circular, matching it up to your list, cruising up and down the aisles looking for the sale items (and hoping they are still in stock), added to the cost of gas is just not worth it if you can pick up most of what you need sitting in your sweats in front of your laptop in your air-conditioned living room.  The advantage of time and convenience over money is completely a personal choice.  I can tell you that the deals that I have researched here are the very best that Amazon has to offer.

    Some of items listed here are Amazon Add-On items, which means that the item ships free with a $25 minimum order for Prime members (and its price counts toward that $25) or it ships free with a $35 order if you don't have Amazon Prime.  You can order a bunch of Amazon Add-On items together (or multiples of the same one) to get to your $25 or $35 minimum and score that free shipping easily.

    LOWEST PRICE: Movado Museum Watch (either men's or women's style) for $189 shipped


    This is definitely the lowest price that I've ever posted on the beautiful and elegant Movado Museum watch.  Ashford has got the Movado Museum watch in both men's and women's styles for $247.50, but enter promo code AFFMUSEUM189 at checkout, and that price drops to $189.00.  Shipping is free.   The watch features a Swiss quartz movement, a stainless steel case, leather band, minimalist dial, and the signature Movado dot.   Each watch comes with a 2-year warranty.

    Amazon Gold Box Bonus Deal of the Day: Swingline Inspire Plus Thermal Laminator for $14.99



    Amazon has got a terrific Gold Box Bonus Deal of the Day today, 8/24/15:  this Swingline Inspire Plus Thermal Laminator is just $14.99 with free Amazon Prime/Super Saver shipping (regularly $29-$30), the lowest recorded Amazon price on this laminator. It will laminate items up to 9 inches wide and got a super 4.6 out of 5 star rating over 46 customer reviews.  This laminator also has a "cold" setting for laminating heat sensitive items.

    If you recall, Amazon has run Gold Box Deals on laminators in the past, although this is the lowest price that they have ever posted on a top-brand laminator.  I bought two of them in a 2011 Gold Box Deal, one for us and one as a gift.  I wasn't sure how much we'd use it, but I was pleasantly surprised, as it turned out to be a very smart, frugal purchase; it's great for laminating Sukkot decorations, presentation tools, flash cards, car registrations, luggage tags, bookmarks, recipes, photos, all those often-used things hanging on the fridge, greeting cards, documents, crafts, and all kinds of stuff.  A friend of mine uses it to make placemats out of her kid's school artwork.

    • Inspire Plus thermal laminator provides fast and easy one step lamination and is great for basic home or small office needs. Compatible with 3 or 5 mil lamination pouches and includes a cold setting to allow safe laminating of heat-sensitive materials
    • Quickly warms up in 4 minutes; ready indicator lights up when warm-up is complete; working at a laminating speed of 9 inches per minute; thermal pouch laminating machine offers easy one step laminating
