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!
