What's Shakin'?

I'm all in favor of the Salvation Army...

but what's all this about Christmas in July at retailers? Are we supposed to be buying stuff for the winter holidays now? Tell us what you think about all this. (And where am I supposed to put these gifts for the next five months?)

Nobody knows the deals I've seen...

Devoted Price Protectr fans know about Price Drops of the Day. Every day Lowlo (our price watching owl) scours the items we're watching, looking for the best deals. We then share the top handful with you in a single free e-mail first thing in the morning. Thousands of our users already know the awesome deals that pop up every day. Some of these deals are so good, they sell out within hours or minutes of us sending out the e-mail!

For example, for you outdoorsy types, today's PDOTD included $300 off a 2-person tent from Backcountry.com, now only about $140 with free shipping. They only have 10 left as of this posting so buy it here . I don't know of anyone else with an unconditional lifetime refund policy like Backcountry.com. (See their "Return Policy".)

Also recently in our PDOTD emails, huge discounts on these women's shoes from Banana Republic, and this dress from Ann Taylor.

If you want to receive PDOTD emails, sign up for an account here.

Meanwhile, don't forget to check out our Facebook Fan page, download our Toolbar for one-click coupons and savings (it hides automatically when you're not using it), and tell your friends how to save money while holiday shopping in July!

We're always looking for ways to get more great deals out into the hands of Price Protectr users. When we first launched, all we offered was price protection. Over the past year and a half we've expanded to add price watching & targeting, deal alerts, price drops of the day emails, RSS feeds, and more -- all features to help you find the best deals and keep more money in your wallets.

Prices tend to drop quite a bit right around the holidays and we wanted another way to highlight all the great sales - so we launched LightningSale.com. It covers seven of the most popular categories of consumer electronics; HDTVs, digital cameras, camcorders, GPS devices, blu-ray, memory & storage, and gaming.

Each section highlights the most recent price drops in that category and even gives it a "Lightning Score" so you know how good of a deal it is without having to do any math!

Just like the sales on Price Protectr, the prices for these items can go back up any time, so jump on a deal if you find something you like! And, of course, all the category pages have RSS feeds so you can peruse the price drops using your favorite feed reader.

So check out LightningSale.com and let us know what you think! Hopefully we can help you and your family save some money this holiday season.

Happy Holidays and Happy New Year from everyone here at Price Protectr.
