MyCokeRewards: All You magazine for 167 points


It's Wednesday, which means MyCokeRewards has got a special rewards offer, and today's is a good one. Get a 1-year subscription to All You magazine for only 167 MCR points (normally 333 MCR points).  The cheapest price I've ever seen for an All You annual subscription is $10.


All You magazine is a huge favorite of frugal coupon clippers.  Each issue of All You magazine offers tons of coupons (usually around $40-$50 worth) and money saving tips.

Is the reward worth the points?

Since the one reward I consistently redeem on MCR is the free 20 oz. bottle of any Coke variety (which usually runs about $1.59) for 40 MCR points, I value each MCR point to be worth about $0.04.  167 points would then be worth $6.68, which would make for a huge bargain on this magazine subscription.

Home Depot Special Buy of the Day: Chocolate Fondue Fountain for $25.99 or $18.49 with special offers



Here's a great way to put yesterday's Home Depot discounts over here and here to good use!

The Home Depot Special Buy of the Day today (11/28/12) is this Nostalgia Electrics Retro Series 1.5 lb. Chocolate Fondue Fountain for $25.99 with free shipping (normally $49.99).  What an interesting Chanukah gift this would make!  (Chocolate fondue fountains are also a great dessert idea for Pesach, if you'd like to put one away.)  The purchase limit is three per customer. (FYI, Amazon has the identical fountain for $45.95 + $7.95 shipping = $53.90.)

So, here's an interesting purchase scenario:
  1. Buy two Chocolate Fondue Fountains for $25.99 each = $51.98 total
  2. Use promo code CMHD2012 ($5 off $50) at checkout to drop that price down by $5.00 to $46.98.
  3. Pay with your Paypal account and get $10 off $50, dropping that total down to $36.98, or $18.49 per Fondue Fountain!  Not a bad deal for an item that's going to cost $49.99 again tomorrow.

SodaStream Pink Fizz Kit for half price at $65, with free shipping


Quite a number of you were able to snag the half-price $40.00 SodaStream deal yesterday, but I know that even more of you could not. SodaStream changed the eligible items, was having a tough time handling the traffic, and in general was making me a little nuts!  But today is another day.

They did sell out of the $40 SodaStream set, but the nice folks at SodaStream are still offering a half-price deal AND free-shipping on the $129.95 machine, the Pink Fizz Seltzer Starter Kit.  They are no longer offering the Holiday Sampler, but the Pink Fizz Seltzer Starter Kit comes with six more SodaMix flavors than the cheaper SodaStream set:
  • Fizz Home Soda Maker
  • 60 liter Carbonator
  • Carbonating Bottle
  • Sodamix Variety 12 pack
And the Pink Fizz Seltzer Starter Kit has the added "mitzvah" bonus of being a Susan G. Komen item.  That means that 5% of the proceeds from the sale of the Pink Fizz Seltzer Kit will go to the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure.  So you get a great deal and you get to do a good deed, all at once!

Get the Pink Fizz Seltzer Starter Kit (priced at $129.95) for only $64.98.  Here's how:
  1. Add the Pink Fizz Seltzer Starter Kit to your cart.  It's priced at $129.95.
  2. Enter promo code FF2012 for 50% off to drop that price down to $64.98.
  3. Enter promo code FREEFIZZ for free shipping.
  4. Your total for the kit is $64.98 shipped!
(FYI, for those of you frugalistas who have written in,  neither this rebate nor this rebate are good on SodaStream.com purchases.  Sorry.)

Amazon Gold Box Deal of the Day: Dyson DC25 Ball All-Floors Upright Vacuum Cleaner for $299 shipped



Today's Amazon Gold Box Deal of the Day is this  Dyson DC25 Ball All-Floors Upright Vacuum Cleaner for $299.00 with free shipping.

You might recall that Amazon had the identical Gold Box Deal of the Day on 3/7/12, only for $319.99.  I do recall it, because we bought our Dyson DC25 vaccum through that deal and we couldn't be happier.  (No regrets about the $20 difference; you can't time deals, and we've had 8 months of glossy clean hardwood floors.)

I'll tell you what I told you back in March:  this Dyson vacuum has every feature we'd been looking for:  it's lightweight (23 lbs), easy to maneuver because of the ball,  bagless, has that incredibly efficient "cyclone" technology, has a HEPA filter, comes with a 5-year p&l warranty, and has got excellent reviews, especially for homes with pets.  Current owners consistently say that a Dyson is basically the best vacuum you can buy, period.

In January, we got a new, beautiful white-haired Labrador-mix dog.  We love him, but he sheds like nobody's business. Pre-Dyson, we had been living with copious amounts of dog hair all over the house.   I used to vacuum with our little $85 Bissell, but it just didn't do the trick.  Each night I was been sweeping up enough hair to make up another dog, and I never seem to get all of it.  This Dyson has completely changed the way we clean.  I had been salivating after this model for a while, but I never thought we could afford it.

Sears has it for $754.95 (ridiculous), Walmart has it for $399, Home Depot has it for $499, and back then, I told myself that there was no way we were spending that kind of money on a vacuum.  When it came up as an Amazon Gold Deal for $319.99, I swooped like a falcon.

And now, it's even cheaper.  $299 is pretty much the lowest price you'll see for this Dyson model.

If you've been hankering after a top-of-the-line vacuum for a reasonable price, snag this deal now.  It disappears at the close of the day (after 11/27/12, the price will revert back up to $379).

PRICE DROP: Laurie Gates "Flora" service for four, $38.99


I love Laurie Gates tableware.  It is so pretty and practical.  It's pretty in its Georgia O'Keefe-like designs and it's practical because it's made of BPA-free, dishwasher-safe melamine.

I first saw the Laurie Gates "Flora" dinnerware pictured here at a friend's house.  It made for an absolutely gorgeous table setting. Amazon has got the Laurie Gates "Flora" set for $42.89  $38.99 with free shipping for four place settings (12 pieces).  If you're looking for a new dinnerware set, this is a beautiful, useful, high-design choice.

Bulova Harley Davidson watch for $49.99



This is sort of an unusual item for me to post about, but it caught my eye because:
  1. I'm a Bulova junkie.  Bulovas are beautifully made watches that hold on to their value; all of my watches are Bulovas.
  2. It will almost certainly become a collectible.
  3. It is very low-priced for a Bulova potentially collectible watch  (it's $95.00 on the Harley site). 
  4. It's a really good-looking watch on its own.  The styling is classy, modern and sharp.
If you've got a Harley enthusiast on your Chanukah list, this would make a wonderful and enduring gift.
