Groupon has a great promotion running today. You can get $25 Worth of Magazine Subscriptions from Blue Dolphin Magazines for only $12. Blue Dolphin sells most major magazines so everyone should be able to find something.

Black Friday Deals at ING Direct

I've talked about ING Direct before but I always wait until they are running a great promotion to remind you all about this online bank. By cutting their overhead costs of actual stores, ING Direct passes their savings onto the customer. While you can't just walk into the bank, you can feel safe knowing your money is still protected by the FDIC.

Current bankers at ING Direct can get a 1% cash back bonus on any purchase made on Black Friday using your debit card. Interestingly this is higher than the current interest rate so you'll make more money by spending your funds than saving them (crazy, right?).

If you don't already have an account, you can earn $125 when you open a new Orange checking account and make a total of 10 purchases (either signature or PIN-based) using your Electric Orange Card or CheckMate deposits (or any combination of the two) within 45 days.


Make sure you read all the fine print and details regarding these offers. While ING Direct is a great bank and I personally opened my account with a similar offer a few years ago, there are a few steps you need to take to make sure you get the promotional money. It's not as simple as opening the account and then withdrawing the cash. ING Direct was sold to CapitalOne. In February 2013, ING Direct will become CapitalOne360.

Just a Laugh: Black Friday

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Now it's time to get out there and shop smart. Have a fun day!

Hasbro Games Under $5 After Black Friday Sale and Rebate

If you love classic board games or need some inexpensive gifts for a secret Santa, kid, or other reason, I recommend checking out the Hasbro games at Target for Black Friday.

The games are on sale for $7 each but they are even cheaper when you use the Game Night Rebate that is currently being advertised on tv by Neil Patrick Harris.

The rebate works in increments of two games and is good for a maximum of twelve games. For two until eight games, the rebate is $2.50 per game. If you buy ten or twelve games the rebate goes up. The final price of the games will range from $3.67 (twelve games) to $4.50 (two games).

The rebate is for select games and Target sale is also select games. The following is a list that will work for this deal:

• Connect 4
• Jenga
• Monopoly
• Operation
• Scrabble

If I make it to Target, I'm going to pick up a few games. For under $5 these will be great for my classroom and Toys for Tots.

Get a $25 Credit If You Register Your American Express for Small Business Saturday

Small Business Saturday is a promotion that was started with the help of American Express to promote shopping at the local mom & pop type stores instead of huge box companies that outsource.

From now until November 24, 2012 (or while limited enrollment lasts) you can register your American Express card for Small Business Saturday. You must register your card for the promotion in order to qualify.

On November 24, 2012, head out to your local small business and go shopping. You must spend at least $25 in one transaction (not five $5 transactions) and American Express will credit your account $25. That means that when you get your monthly statement, you'll see the purchase but you'll also see a $25 payment made by American Express. It's basically free money.

Please note that the link provided is American Express' website https://www.americanexpress.com/us/small-business/Shop-Small/. From American Express you will be forwarded to a different American Express domain to register for the promotion. I provided the American Express link instead of the direct link to the registration page so that you can be assured this is an actual American Express promotion. Never give credit card information to a third party without first verifying the promotion with the original source.

Official Black Friday Ad from Walmart

Another store has released their Black Friday flier.  Check out the Black Friday ad from Walmart to determine if there are any deals you are interested in for Black Friday.

Official Black Friday Ad from Target

Target is the first store I've seen to post an official Black Friday flier on their website. They have some good deals including a $10 gift card when you spend over $50 you spend before noon (select departments).

If you've been waiting to buy a Nook, this might be your year. The Nook Simple Touch will be $49. I personally prefer this type of e-reader to a tablet because there is no glare on the screen and the battery lasts a long time.

Another deal that is worth looking at will be the $60 iTunes giftcard pack for only $50.

Black Friday is Coming Soon

I am going to begin reposting sites that I truly enjoy using when it comes to saving money. This repost is about Black Friday.

If you are a saver like me, then you know the best day of the year is almost here. Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving, is coming. This means a few things including great deals and large crowds. As I find good deals, I'll be posting them here. I will only be posting deals that have been officially released by the stores. In the mean time, check out some of my favorite sites for annual ad leaks. Remember that these leaks are not 100% correct which is why I do not share the deals until I know they are true.
