P.S. My Staples had a touch Kindle priced at $63, tagged in-store as a "Special Purchase." I don't know enough about the two Touch Kindles to know if it was the new Touch or the old Touch.
If it has a home button on the front, it is the original KT.

No button, it would be the "All-new Kindle Basic" version 3 or 4, a.k.a. the KT2.

Thanks. I didn't look at all carefully, so can't answer. But someone on Slickdeals bought one for $63 and claims it is the 7th gen (current) Kindle. Perhaps worth a trip to a nearby Staples for someone looking for the new Touch Kindle.

Refurb Kindle HDX 7" 16 GB Wi-fi: $120, Lightning Deal at 3am EST Nov. 3rd

FWIW (very short time to buy, and during the time when most in the U.S. are sleeping):

Refurbished Kindle HDX 7" for 20% off = $120 (scroll through the lightning deals until you get to 3am EST).

Gold Box/Lightning Deals page:
Quote:
"Upcoming Deal
20% Off a Certified Refurbished Kindle Fire HDX 7" Wi-Fi Tablet
Starts at 3:00 AM" [EST]
Here is the product page, regular price = $150 for the 16 GB Wi-fi refurb.

A comparable (16 GB, Wifi) new HDX 7" is on sale ($20 off) for $180.

$120 vs. $180, a 33% savings by buying refurbished.

I saw that happen recently with another item I was watching. Disappeared before its scheduled sale time. Strange.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4 dropped from 399 to 355 (white) or 335 (bronze) today, probably due to Nexus 9 shipments finally going out.
I keep hovering over the buy button. If it had a 3:4 aspect ratio, I'd bite, otherwise, it would need to go below the iPad mini 2 price of 299.

Keep an eye on the mini. Last year, it sold for $299 and included a free $100 gift card. Both Best Buy and Walmart had the promo. A $200 mini 2 would be a killer of a deal.

Indeed, and I count on YOU, Sockmonkey, to post about it!! I don't need a Mini, since i have the Air, but if a $200 deal came my way, it would be very hard to resist....

...and speaking of the Air, Sam's Club is having a one day Holiday Savings Celebration on 15 Nov at 7am. Included in the sale is the iPad Air 16GB at $100 off. It currently sells for $399, so that should bring the price down to $299. This offer is also available online and can be found on page 2 of the ad scan.

Sam's Club is a membership club owned by Walmart and similar to Costco. For those who don't have memberships, LivingSocial is currently running a great offer on a membership.

LivingSocial Sam's Club Membership -- exp 04 or 05 Nov

Quote:
Enjoy substantial savings every day on top brands at this membership-only retail warehouse with more than 600 participating locations all over the country (excluding Puerto Rico). With this deal you'll receive:

$45 for a one-year Sam's Plus membership (a $100 value)
Complimentary spouse or other household member
$20 Sam's Club gift card
Four free fresh food items (a $22.18 value)
- Rotisserie chicken
- Artisan Fresh™ spinach artichoke dip
- Daily Chef™ cookies
- French baguette

$142.18 total value

Offer valid for new Sam's Club members only; not valid for those with an active membership or for a previous membership that has lapsed within the last 6 months.

Whaaat, you get a complimentary spouse or another household member?! For the low price of $45?!?!? This thread is not in the Deals and Freebies forum for nothing!

I'm going to go select my new spouse now, hope they have a good selection

PS: Thank you for posting the deal. I already have an iPad Air and have no use for a Sam's Club membership, but it sounds like crazy deal otherwise!!!

Think about it. SC is owned by Walmart. What kind of spouse would you expect to find there?

YW
