What's Shakin'?

No Tent For Me

I may be going camping in August with some friends. When I got the Price Drop of the Day e-mail, one of the price drops jumped out at me.

"$279.14 off Coleman Elite WeatherMaster 6 Tent, now just $10.85 from Amazon."

A six-person tent for $10.85?!

I clicked through and, not surprisingly, it was sold out. Sigh.

Just goes to show, the early bird catches the worm, or in this case, the person who watches the price on this item gets the deal. She probably bought all of them. I sure would have.

If you watch an item, you get the e-mail as soon as we know the price dropped, long before anyone else. It really pays to track the price on what you want to buy. Not only could you save yourself some money, you could find something that you could re-sell on eBay and make yourself some money. Or give them as gifts to your outdoorsy friends. Or let your in-laws sleep in the yard.

Leggo my Legos

Lowlo also spotted a sweet Lego set price drop. I loved Legos as a kid. This set has over 2000 pieces and when complete, you have a New York style corner grocery store with walls that open to reveal the inside! They never had stuff like that when I was a kid.

Amazon says they only have 4 left at this price, so click now. Here you go: $90 off Lego set.

For Camera Fans

If you're in the market for a serious camera, here's a quick $50 off this Canon Eos DSLR camera. Nice.

I got some of these deals from Price Drop of the Day summary e-mail. See these and a few more deals by getting an account here. Once you sign up, you can ask to get the PDOTD sent once a day, first thing in the morning. The camera I was watching for myself.
