  1. I have used these over a half dozen times with no issues whatsoever. I don't think you can use more than one at a time but most restaurants have different dollar value certificates ($10/$25/$50/$100) with different minimum purchases. For example, I usually buy the $25 certificate which has a $35 minimum purchase. All certificates also have a mandatory tip of 18% of the full value of the meal BEFORE the certificate is subtracted. The minimum cash outlay for a meal with a $25 certificate is just over $20. $2 for certificate (assuming you buy at 80% off)$35 of food$6.30 mandatory tip$2+ tax($25) credit for certificateI usually end up paying about $30 for a meal for 2 at a nice sitdown restaurant (roughly $40 bill plus tax/tip/cert) which beats spending over $50 for that same meal. At pizza places we have fed 4 adults w/ leftovers for under $25.
  2. That's one of the reason's I am hesitant to get it... Somehow I'll end up with more stuff I don't need because it was a good deal and I need to justify my purchase of prime!
  3. What were you thinking That is my one and only beef w/ buy.com is as their "original price" is sometimes absurd. I bought a Christmas present that I thought was a good deal ($20 down from "$40") only to find it at a chain home improvement store for $10 after a $5 rebate (normal price $20). I thought about returning it but I didn't figure it was worth the effort for $10. That being said, a lot of times there are great deals there, just make sure you do a quick amazon search (or ebay or whatever you are familiar with) to make sure it is a good deal unless you are familiar with the product and its value. I bought an amazing flat screen mount for 80% off the price of a mediocre mount I was going to buy a few months ago.
  4. Thanks, I bought two polo shirts for under $16 after shipping. (Work has jeans Fridays all summer so I need to stock up on polos.)
  5. Oh, for those who haven't ordered yet... If you are looking for something to get free shipping you might want to get a SATA cable. I knew this was "bare/oem" but I thought I had extra cables from my old PC but alas they were the previous version, not SATA. My free shipping was very quick (order Friday, rec'd Tuesday).
  6. $100 = FREE SHIPPING... the hard drive is $99.99 w/ a $30 rebate. Even if the rebate doesn't come this is still a good deal. It would be easy to spend $100 on a 1TB hard drive.
  7. It looks like I need a small purchase to get free shipping... Found a 48 cent retractable phone cord... don't need it but it saves me $5.
  8. Back in stock at a slightly lower price, $33.99. I received this a few weeks ago and it is a very substantial and does not feel cheap at all. I haven't mounted it yet since I want to run some wires in the wall first but I am very happy with this purchase even though it is now 50c cheaper.
  9. Beatles Rock Band is first. $27.49 http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51pjmporQCL._AA120_.jpg
  10. FYI the KCTAKE30 is for Kohls cardmembers only and the $50 free shipping code has expired...
  11. I have a 32in Westinghouse (2-3 years old) with their "waterfall" design. I didn't think that this would work though as the back is set up for one of the smaller mounts. Let me know if I am mistaken and mine is sitting on a sketchy bookshelf in our exercise area and I would prefer to mount it rather than find it in pieces some day. Upon further review it might work but it does need the smaller screws. I bought a mount at IKEA of all places and the screws were too big but after looking at Westinghouse's compatibility chart it might work if I can find the screws that fit into the back of the TV. For larger TV's (I also have a 42" panasonic and the mount does work with that) they have larger screws that are closer to the corners of the TV whereas my westinghouse 32 has 4 smaller screws closer to the middle of the TV.
  12. For what its worth they appear to be legit... but I have never heard of them. http://reviews.cnet.com/4011-5_7-275338.html
  13. They also have replica jerseys for $30 (25.50 using 15% off code). Not bad.
  14. FYI - Same price in store. Cheaper per pill to buy starter pack than the bulk pack for whatever reason.
  15. Good deal, but I would ALWAYS recommend the black ones (premier) rather than the red ones. You can boil spaghetti sauce without staining or discoloring. For what it is worth. They are slightly more expensive but after we received a set of the premium (black) ones as a gift we got rid of everything else we had and bought another set. http://i.walmartimages.com/i/p/00/07/16/91/39/0007169139452_AV_500X500.jpg I looked at walmart.com and premiers are not a good deal ($25 for 20pc set) but keep an eye out for sales I think we got ours at Target for $11 or $14. It is slightly cheaper at target.com ($23) but when they are on sale they can be 50% off.
  16. I bought one of these earlier today. It was out of stock but I had it alert me if it came back in stock and was able to get one after getting their email. For what its worth, this is probably a $100-$120 mount. So 2/3 off is a great deal but its not 90% off as buy.com would like you to believe. That is my only beef with buy.com but it really is a good deal if you are looking for a mount. Even a cheap mount will run $30-$50 so to get this in that range is great.
  17. I am DH and it would be for me . It does sound intriguing because I grew up in the original C&C, C&C Red alert on PC days but I just don't see it transferring to an xbox. That and gaming hours are limited by DW and working.
  18. OK, I am totally out of the loop on video games now... Is this like a Command & Conquer or Age of Empires style game as opposed to the traditional Halo first person shooter? I am going to hold off for now as I have been spending like a sailor on leave lately and I don't want to spend another $5 on something I don't need just to get the free shipping, but this looks like a fun game.
  19. They ran like a 3 minute commercial for this game during the Vikings Saints game... that was the first time I have ever seen a video game commercial anywhere near that long.
  20. I know when I moved they sent me little gift card/coupons with the same offers. I think this is probably the same thing but without the actual gift card/coupon you may only be able to use it online.
  21. Quick question, is an xbox live membership transferable? I bought one but I have a hunch I won't use it much so I was curious if I could let my brother use it (he lives in a diff state) and just use it every once and a while since I don't care about stats or whatever.
  22. Do you know how much shipping would be (approx)? It almost looked to me that it was 49c per print which is ridiculous.
