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.

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 recently added a few more retailers: 7 For All Mankind, Anne Klein, Armani Exchange, and BCBG Max Azria.

We've also updated our Firefox Toolbar for compatibility with version 3.5. It should be available soon from addons.mozilla.com, but you can get it sooner from our Toolbar download page!

Our friends over at NukePrice have integrated with Price Protectr! They have a cool plugin for Internet Explorer that reminds you to price protect your purchases when you add them to your shopping cart. Here's an excerpt from their blog:

Great news! We have integrated price protection with PriceProtectr.com. If you install our IE plugin and shop at 100+ supported retailers' website with Internet Explorer, we will notify PriceProtectr and get your purchase protected. Our IE plugin has no toolbar at all and notify you only when you add an item to the shopping cart. You can even get price protection automatically without any clicks.

So if you love using IE, head on over to their site and check out the NukePrice plugin! And, if you're just shopping around, you can still the Price Protectr Toolbar for Intenet Explorer to search for deals and watch and target prices. It's a killer combo to help maximize your online shopping savings!

There's an updated Firefox toolbar tonight! We removed some of the buttons to make it simpler and leave room for more coupons. We also added the ability to add a deal alert right from the toolbar, making it easier to set alerts as you shop.

What's that, you still haven't heard of our toolbar? It has a lot of features to help you put money back in your wallet, and it even hides away when you're not using it. Check out our toolbar page for more info!
