Students: FREE Xbox 360 With Your Computer Purchase!
Thursday, May 26th, 2011
If you are one of the many parents whose child is about to graduate, and you are planning to purchase a computer for them to head off to college with, here is a sweet deal for you:
Now through September 9, 2011 (or while supplies last), Microsoft is offering a FREE Xbox 360 to students who purchase a Windows 7 PC priced at $699 or more at participating retailers–including Best Buy retail stores, BestBuy.com and Dell.com.
In order to participate, Microsoft’s Facebook page indicates that verification of student status is required. This offer is only available for students age 16-19 and those who have a valid .EDU email address. Eligible students will be given a promo code when their .EDU email address or age is confirmed. The promo code must be entered at checkout to receive the discount. Unfortunately, this promotion is not applicable to previous purchases.
Like me, you may want to have the “study versus play time” talk with your child and then they’re good to go!

Join in the celebration of National Donut Day on June 3, 2011, at a Krispy Creme near you. During this event, Krispy Kreme will give one FREE doughnut to every customer who walks through their doors!
No doubt, like me, you are ready for some much needed relief at the pumps. CVS stands ready to relieve some of our gas burdens with its new $10 FREE Gas Gift Card promotion. To participate, spend $30 (in one transaction) on select items. Each Sunday, through August 28, 2011, CVS will advertised which products are participating during the upcoming week in their sales circular. The offer is limited to one per household, per week, with your ExtraCare savings card.
Asking for a discount does not come naturally to me. It is one of those things in life that requires me to muster up boldness from the depths of my soul. Okay maybe I am being a little melodramatic, but you get the point–it requires effort. Effort that I have learned is well worth any momentary feeling of discomfort on my part.
Do a lot of online shopping? Have you signed up for Ebates? If the answers to those questions are yes and no, respectively, you are literally throwing away easy money!
It’s that time again, not sure what to get the grad in your life? Office Max has a sweet deal on iTunes gift cards running through June 4, 2011–Save $10 when you purchase two $25 iTunes gift cards in a single transaction, that’s a 20% savings! Perhaps you can earn some mommy (or daddy) points too, by letting your kids stake a claim on the second card! This offer is good while supplies last. Hurry, no rain checks will be offered.
