Daily Observation - Technology, Culture, Tips and Tricks

Here’s an awesome best buy coupon posted by one of my favorite sites, dealnews.com.  It allows you to take 10% off of the purchase of 1 item (you actually can take 12% off if you are a Rewards member).

There are some minimum purchase restrictions but I found them to be reasonable (e.g., $399 for home theater products, etc.).  If you are looking for a new HDTV this would be a good one to use (act fast though, it’s only good through July 28th).

I’ve long been a fan of Cambridge Soundworks - a brand well known for creating high quality speakers (audio nerds and wanna-be audio nerds like myself will recognize the name of company cofounder Henry Kloss).

I’m an even bigger fan of the fact that the company (now owned by Creative) has decided to sell their products direct to customers again - cutting out any additional cost associated with distributors (the middle-men).

Bargain hunters will like their clearance section, where they resell open box and refurbished speakers (all of which have been thoroughly tested).  I’ve already blown quite a bit of coin on some fantastic deals like a pair of the Classic Series Model Six speakers for $127.49.  To be honest, these speakers sound incredible - especially given the price.

With the holidays right around the corner, I wanted to share some quick tips on saving your hard earned cash while shopping for friends and family.

Do it Now

Enough said, the earlier, the better. Plus, you will prevent yourself from falling into the trap of scouring the mall and department stores at the last minute.

Do it Online

Use sites such as dealnews.com to find the best prices on stuff. Many retailers are also offering free shipping as well, which is a huge bonus for shoppers.

Do it Smart

Online coupon codes can help you save even more money when shopping on the web. Use sites like currentcodes.com and retailmenot.com to save on everything from computers to books.

I know, I know, I’m on a home audio kick lately. But I bought the Cambridge Soundworks Computer Speaker System a couple of years ago and it has, hands down, been the best set of PC speakers I have owned.

One of the things I want to help readers out with is getting a good product for a good price. At $80 bucks for a system designed by audio legend Henry Kloss I think this one definitely fits the bill! Read the reviews from customers on the Cambridge Soundworks site here.

If you’re like me, you like to spend money on ridiculous electronics and gadgets like there is freakin’ no tomorrow.  So, why not get the best deals while you burn your hard earned cash?  My favorite site for the best deals and coupons (seriously, this isn’t a plug) is DealNews.com.  It’s an easy to use site and well vetted (PC World named it as one of their “World Class” sites of 2006).
