When I'm not the Cheapskate-in-Chief on this blog,  I'm a webdesigner, and I've worked as one for over 18 years.  I use the full version of Adobe Photoshop for my work, but it comes with a professional pricetag.

Whenever friends ask me to recommend graphic-editing software for them, I always tell them about Photoshop's "little sister," Elements 13.

Amazon Gold Box Deal of the Day (5/7/15): Best graphics and video editing software in the industry, Adobe Photoshop Elements 13 and Premiere Elements 13 for $67.99 (like a half-price or BOGO deal).

When I'm not the Cheapskate-in-Chief on Daily Cheapskate,  I wear an entirely different hat;  I'm a web designer, and I've worked as one for over 17 years.  I've always used the full version of Adobe Photoshop for the graphic part of my work, but it comes with a professional price-tag.

Whenever friends ask me to recommend graphic-editing software for them, I always tell them about Photoshop's "little sister," Adobe Photoshop Elements 13 (which is currently priced at $69.99 on Amazon). Elements 13 is scaled-down version of Photoshop that lets you edit and organize your graphics and images easily. 

From the same company that makes Photoshop, there is also a software package called Adobe Premiere Elements 13 (currently priced at $68.58 on Amazon) that is used to edit and organize videos.

Today's Amazon Gold Box Deal of the Day is a bundle of BOTH Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements for $67.99 with free shipping.  That's like getting one of these software packages for FREE.  I checked and yesterday's price on this bundle is $119.99, so it truly is practically a BOGO offer. 

If you decide to buy this, my advice is to definitely buy the disc version of the software and not the licensed download version.  The advantage of buying the download version is that you'll be able to use it right away and won't have to wait for the shipping, but I checked, and almost any negative reviews on this software package have to do with download and installation issues, not the software itself.  The price for the disc version is exactly the same as the download version, $67.99, so I think that's a no-brainer.  It installs on both PCs and Macs.  The other advantage to buying the discs is that if you change computers in the near future, you can just re-install the software from the discs.

 I never understood why people would spend hundreds or even thousands of dollars on the best cameras but not buy good software to edit their treasured pictures and videos.  The Adobe Elements software bundle is a great way of getting very feature-rich graphic and video software without paying Adobe's price for the high-end flagship version.  And since the bundle price on the Gold Box version is like getting both Elements software packages for BOGO or for half-price; any way you slice it, it's a major steal. 

Like all Gold Box deals, this one is around today, 5/7/15 only, and the price goes back up at midnight PST. 

• Organize - All your stuff, when you want it. Order, label, find, and view your photos and videos your way.
• Edit - Amazing photos and movies- no experience needed. Make quick photo edits, create movies in minutes, add artistic touches like a pro, or transform your photos and videos to show your vision. Elements can guide you through or do it for you.
• Create and enhance - Be the creative one in the family. Make photo books, scrapbooks, and cards to share lasting memories. Bring style to your movies with cool effects, transitions, themes, titles, and more.
• Share - Share via private web galleries for friends and family everywhere to enjoy. Plus, share on disc, HDTV, Facebook, YouTube, Vimeo, Twitter, and more.
• Go - Sync your mobile photos and videos with Elements and your Elements photos and videos with your mobile devices, so you can access any memory anywhere.

PRICE DROP: Turbo Tax Deluxe (Fed, Efile, and State 2013) for lowest price ever on Amazon, $39.99

Normally, waiting to do your taxes is not a good thing, but in this case, it might have paid off!

This past Friday, Amazon had a $10.00 price drop on TurboTax Deluxe Fed, Efile and State 2013 (with refund bonus offer*), from $49.99 to $39.99 with free shipping, the lowest price ever posted on Amazon.

• Includes one TurboTax State product download—print for free or efile (fees may apply).

Purchase TurboTax 2014 from Amazon and get 5%-10% more on an Amazon gift card bought with your federal refund

Now that tax season is in full swing, I wanted to make you aware of one two three things regarding Tax Day and Amazon.

Number One: we are now officially 90 days out from the very ominous April 15th, 2014.

Number Two: we are also officially 89 days out from the first evening of Passover. Yes, my friends, Tax Day coincides with the first day of Pesach, which means the first seder is the evening of April 14th.

Stop weeping. It'll be okay. What this means is that you must, absolutely must, deal with your taxes earlier this year.

Number Three: There is a great offer out on TurboTax software called the TurboTax Refund Bonus program:  By purchasing Turbo Tax software exclusively at Amazon.com or TurboTax.com, taxpayers can receive from a 5% to a 10% bonus on top of their federal tax refund when they use some (or all) of their federal refund to purchase an Amazon.com gift card.

Receive an extra 5% with TurboTax Basic, and an extra 10% with TurboTax Deluxe, Premier, and Home & Business.  So, for example, if an Amazon customer uses $500 of their Federal Refund to buy an Amazon gift card, they’ll actually get $525 or $550 (depending on which software they purchased) in Amazon.com Gift Cards.

• TurboTax Basic, Fed and Efile, $29.99
• TurboTax Deluxe. Fed and Efile, $39.99
• TurboTax Deluxe Fed, Efile and State, $49.97
• Turbo Tax Premier, Fed, Efile and State, $69.99 
• Turbo Tax Home & Business, Fed, Efile and State, $79.99

Here are some of the terms of the offer, but make sure you read up on it fully over here:

• Use any increment of $100 from your Federal Tax Return to purchase an Amazon.com gift card.
• Use some (or all) of your federal refund to purchase an Amazon.com Gift Card** and Turbo Tax will tack on a bonus. (**Amazon.com is not a sponsor of this promotion. ) So $500 of Federal Refund could purchase a $550 Amazon.com Gift Card.
• The remainder of your refund will be deposited to your bank account.
• As soon as your refund is received, TurboTax will email you your Amazon.com gift card claim code.
• Receive an extra 5% with TurboTax Basic – So $500 would become $525. 
• Receive an extra 10% with TurboTax Deluxe, Premier, and Home & Business – So $500 would become $550. 
• TurboTax Business is not eligible for this offer. 
• This Amazon.com Gift Card offer is for federal refunds only. 
• Limits apply ($2000 per e-card, maximum $10,000 per customer). 
• Offer available only for TurboTax Online or CD/download versions sold and shipped, or downloaded directly from Intuit or Amazon.
