YW

I just started a thread in the audiobook forum -- No-Contract Phones as Audio Players

I signed up for the email subscription about an hour ago and still haven't seen the $10 coupon in my inbox. Does anyone know how long it typically takes to show up?

Of all the no-contract phones under $50 being offered this Black Friday, the best one (IMO) is the LG Volt. It just went on sale at Kmart and RadioShack. Spec wise, it's very similar to the Moto G LTE; except the display on the Volt (234ppi) is worse than the Moto (326ppi).

see this post for BF phone comparisons --> No-Contract Phones

This phone makes a great streaming device for music and audiobooks (TuneIn, Pandora, Spotify, Audible, OverDrive, LibriVox, etc). I just ordered one from RadioShack for $30 ($40 - $10 email promo) and plan to use it that way.

LG Volt - Boost Mobile

$34.99 -- Kmart --> free store pickup -- $39.99 + $5 in SYW points
$29.99 -- RadioShack --> free shipping -- $39.99 - $10 email promo

The best deal is from RadioShack; if you can get the $10 email promo:

My request took awhile, but I can't remember how long.

LG Volt on sale 27~29 Nov or until sold out
$10 off coupon expires 26 Dec

You have a little bit of time to wait for it, but you're risking it being sold out before you get your coupon. My suggestion is to buy it now to be sure you get the phone at the sale price. Then if you get your coupon before the end of the 29th and it's still in stock, buy it again to get the discount. You can then return the first one.

PS: I received my coupon two days ago.

Oh pooh. I'd decided on a Toshiba Excite tablet that was supposed to go on sale for $60 at HH Gregg this afternoon; it's already showing as sold out. Grrrr.

Sorry to hear that. I've been getting everything I wanted and then some. It's been an Amazon BF for me (8 items), except for the LG Volt from RadioShack.

What really bugs me is that my backup plan was to buy the Excite at Amazon, where it had dropped to $70 the other day, but now it's back to $90 there.

I wish I'd thought to check HH Gregg earlier, but I thought I could go by the time listed in the ad scan.

Glad you are having success, but I'm going to go sit in a corner and sulk till it's time for pumpkin pie.

Mrs. Smith kindly made one for me. But the pumpkin bread will be homemade!

This year has been weird! It seems a big chunk of retailers decided to start their sales on Sunday or Monday even if the ads didn't say they'd do that. It was nice not having to wait for the pile-on buying spree on Thursday/Friday but it's probably going to have a lot of people disappointed like you are.

Then again, they may have just kept stupidly low stock levels. I noticed Sam's Club's said they'd have a whole 7-8 Samsung Galaxy Tab S 4 7.0s on sale per location. Doubt that's going to last long.

Now, maybe I'll get lucky and someone will put the Nexus 7 (2013) on sale today or tomorrow.

Still need a small HD and TV; but other than that, I'm done. Got most of my stuff on Tue & Wed. Picked up the LG Volt today. I'm glad I was able to get the stuff early.

So far, I haven't been disappointed.

Last night Amazon had a strange brand 32" TV for $79. I was so annoyed, b/c I saw it too late. It wasn't an Element, which I believe they are supposed to have for $79 at some point. So I am still hopeful.

Still looking for price drops on 2 xbox games.

iPads are selling fast. Several stores are sold out already.

Generally, I'm afraid people waiting until Friday to shop will be disappointed.

tubemonkey · 11-27-2014, 04:16 PM

One thing I've noticed with Amazon's Lightning Deals is that many of the items reappear numerous times. Amazon only releases so many for each deal, thereby assuring itself of having inventory for future deals; and that keeps customer interest high.

Staples has had some of the best tablet deals going. Last week, they had the 16GB iPad mini 2 on sale for $200 and it rapidly sold out. Then two days ago, they had the Galaxy Tab 4 7.0 selling for $100.

Yes, they did. I grabbed an IPad mini 2. Now I bought a case with the Staples Reward I received with the iPad purchase.
