Special deals

I always like to mention a few deals from our Price Drop of the Day e-mail, and today is no exception.

I was shocked to see Dell's price on a brand-new 19" flat-panel monitor with a 3-year warranty and trade-in package included. Under $100. Wow.

Looking for a great dress? Kohl's has this dress by AB Studio for under $25. Again...amazing.

For you gamers, Costco has a killer Sony PlayStation package, complete with 80 GB hard drive, wireless controller, Blu-Ray player, and HDMI and USB cables for under $380. Check it out here.

The Lobster Incident

Yesterday, I saw an article online about the falling price of lobster.

Knowing how my wife enjoys lobster but dreads lobster prices, I mentioned it to her. Off she went to the nearby fresh seafood store.

Skeptical as always, I decided to call some fresh seafood places. They told me the price was anywhere from $8.99 a pound to $9.99 a pound, low for lobster, but not as low as I thought. When she got to the neighborhood store, one of the stores I had called, she bought lobster for a mere $5 a pound.

The guy on the phone had given me the wrong price.

Now why would he do that? May have been a simple mistake. Or he may have been trying to keep competitors from knowing his price. (Maybe I sound suspicious on the phone?)

With Price Protectr, you don't have to worry about running to the store to check the price.

Unless you're buying lobster, we can't help you there...yet.

Back-to-school

The deals today help those going back to school. Save all those notes and school memories. Everyone needs more memory, and this SanDisk memory card is a good deal. Best Buy has dropped the price on their 4GB SDHC memory card, usually used for phones, cameras, and laptops.

Charge My iPod

Lowlo has been known to rock out to some tunes while looking for prices, and has to keep the iPod charged on long nights looking at prices.

Amazon has an iPod charger for more than half off, so click now. Have a fully charged iPod for those late nights studying. Here you go: Kensington iPod charger.

Fuschia subwoofer

Even better sound for your iPod. Just goes to show that fuschia can put out some bass for your face. Sears dropped the price on this JBL satellite speaker system to make your computer put out some booming sound. It's over 70% off. Sweet deal.

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.
