Add an HD8 or Fire 7 tablet to your cart – at this point, you’ll see a $25 dollar Amazon Prime discount in your cart.
Add one of the eligible vitamins to your cart – I added $25 dollars worth of Calcium to my cart (just search Amazon for “PRIMEVITAMIN” and you’ll see your options here)

Free Krispy Kreme donut with coffee purchase

Dave — Fri, 03 Feb 2017 00:04:52 +0000

How about a fresh, hot doughnut deal to go with your morning coffee? Starting February 6, if you buy any size coffee from your local Krispy Kreme, you’ll get one FREE Krispy Kreme classic glazed doughnut.

But be careful with this one – these donuts are slightly addictive! If you don’t control yourself, you’ll end up back in line to order 18 more donuts, eat six of them immediately, and then consume the remaining 12 to eat in a shameful, private fit of gluttonous rage in your car on the way to work. As you pull into the parking lot, you’ll realize you’re covered in donut glaze, call in sick from your car, drive all the way back home, climb back into bed, and watch some terrible Netflix series (“Fuller House”, anyone?) for the rest of the day while you try to figure out where your life took such a wrong turn.

Deal ends on Feb 28.

Philips Hue 2nd Gen Bulb – Save $10

Dave — Fri, 27 Jan 2017 23:55:25 +0000

I love finding deals on Hue bulbs – The Philips Hue home lighting ecosystem is so cool, yet so dang expensive. Today at Best Buy, you can save $10 on one of the 2nd generation color LED bulbs.

If you’re wondering the difference between the 1st and 2nd generation Hue bulbs: the 2nd gen are a little brighter. The 3rd generation bulbs, just recently released by Hue, are even brighter, and feature richer green colors.

But unless you plan on making your bedroom look like Dagobah (who knows, maybe it already does!), the 2nd gen bulbs work just fine with any of the systems.

Regular $44.99 on sale for $34.99 at BestBuy

ToDoist Premium (+extras) $6.86 – Regular $29.99

Dave — Sat, 07 Jan 2017 20:23:27 +0000

If you know me well, you know that I structure my hours, days, and life using to-do lists. For the last 5 years, ToDoist has been my to-do list app of choice. If you are a fellow Todoist user, or if you feel like your life could use some structure, this deal is for you: A 1-year Premium membership PLUS 8 other software development applications for less than $7 bucks via HumbleBundle.

If you’re new to the internet, HumbleBundles are “Pay whatever you want” transactions that started off with just bundles of video games, but now have branched off into more bundle types including books and software.

If you “beat the average” and pay $6.86 (or more), this bundle also comes with a bunch of other game development software applications:

Todoist Premium 1 year subscription (regularly $29.99)
Clickteam Fusion 2.5
Pyxel Edit
Spiriter Pro + Game Effects Art Pack
Spiriter Pro Basic, Adventre, and Run ‘n’ Gun Platformer Art Packs
HTML5 Exporter
Marmoset Hexels 2.5
PICO-8

This deal is amazing for the Todoist discount alone, even if you never use all of the other bundled software!

2x Free Uber rides home from the airport with Amex + promo code

Dave — Sun, 04 Dec 2016 05:19:11 +0000

If you’re traveling home for the holidays, you won’t want to miss this one: 2 free Uber rides when the pickup location is an airport. I used it myself on a ride back from JFK airport today and saved 60 bucks!

Just request an Uber from the airport, select an Amex card to pay, and then add the promo “AMEXAIRPORT“. You can make sure the promo is applied to your account by selecting Application Menu->Payment->Promotions.

The code works on fares FROM the airport (but not going to), and saves you up to $65 on each ride! You can use this code twice before 12/31/16, so skip the taxi!

Qualifying airports: LGA, JFK, EWR, ORD, MDW, SEA, BOS, LAS, IAH, IAD, DCA

Philips Hue Bloom Light (refurb) $34.99 at ebay

Dave — Thu, 20 Oct 2016 19:24:27 +0000

If you’re looking to add to your Philips Hue ecosystem, these Bloom lights are a lot of fun. I already have one Bloom in my kitchen, and just picked up two more (going to try them as closet lights!)

These are manufacturer refurbished, but even the refurbs go for 50+ usually. $35 bucks + free shipping is a great deal on something that you rarely see on sale. Grab em before they change the price! These are $60 new on Amazon right now!

Note: you do need to have the Philips Hue Starter Kit already before adding this to your home.
