Deals of the Week… Going, Going, Almost Gone! (11/15/13 Edition)

By on November 15, 2013

If you’ve been visiting Ben’s Bargains recently, you’ll have noticed that retailers are no longer waiting for Black Friday/Cyber Monday and that the deals have been flying fast and furious! It’s a good idea to drop by our Black Friday hub to compare the current online deals with the advertised Black Friday sale prices. You just may find a price now that’s lower than it will be on the big day. Good luck!

Here are 10 of the best deals this past week (Nov. 9 to Nov. 15) that are still hanging around:

1. Black Friday is Here, Folks

Staples is leading the charge with a fantastic coupon for $50 off regularly priced tablets $149 or more. It can be used online or in-store. Standouts include the Samsung Galaxy 3 16GB 8.0″ Tablet for $230 shipped with code and the 2nd Generation Google Nexus 7 32GB Tablet for $269 shipped with code. The 16GB model was $179 shipped before it sold out today. That’s lower than Staples’ advertised Black Friday price!

Expiration: 11/17.

2. Black Friday is Here, Folks, Part Two

The Soul by Ludacris SL99 In-Ear Headphones are just $24 with free shipping (no minimum) at Amazon right now. You can usually find them for over $40. The chances of this going any lower for Black Friday are slim to none. Not the latest and greatest, but has a lot of solid reviews (and headphone buyers are not easily pleased).

Expiration: Limited time.

3. Accessorize in Style and for 50% Less

Living Social is offering a free code for 50% off purchases at Incase (goincase.com). You’ll immediately receive the code and you can use it to buy anything from the site. Even better, shipping and returns are free. Incase products have gotten a lot of good press over the years.

Expiration: 11/18.

4. Cheap (Red-Hooded) Sweatshirt

Your hoodie can be your best friend, as Adam Sandler would attest to. A cheap hoodie is icing on the cake. Aeropostale has their A87 Ribbed Popover Men’s Hoodie (yes, in red, too) for $9 shipped with code when you check out with PayPal.

Expiration: 11/15.

5. Don’t Leave Home Without It

Motorola’s flagship phone, the Moto X Android 4.2 Smartphone, is currently $300 shipped from Republic Wireless, with no contract required. The plans are cheap: $5 per month for a Wi-Fi only plan (for example, if you use Google Talk), $10 per month for unlimited Wi-Fi data and unlimited talk and text, $25 per month for unlimited talk, text and 3G data or $40 per month for 4G. If you prefer a subsidized phone, Verizon Wireless has it for free with special code and new 2-year agreement.

Expiration: Limited time.

6. You’re Money, Baby

Last week, Columbia had a fantastic deal (now expired) on their high-end electric jackets. This week they have a similar deal on their men’s and women’s Flyin’ DryShell Jackets: 50% off plus another 40% off with special code. Sign up for a free Greater Rewards Membership and you’ll also receive free shipping (and save 6 bucks). The final price ends up being $75 shipped, and these are hard to find under $130.

Expiration: 12/31.

Deals of the Week Kelly-Clarkson-Wrapped-in-Red7. Free Holiday Music

You can download 8 free iTunes songs from People as part of their 2013 Country Holiday Playlist MP3 Album. Includes new songs by artists like Kelly Clarkson, Trace Adkins, JT Hodges and Jewel.

Expiration: 1/15/14.

8. Good as New

Like Apple Store, refurbished models from Canon Direct are as good as new. Right now, they’re offering $20 off refurbished products $100 or more, $50 off $250+ and $125 off $500+. A refurbished Canon EOS Rebel T5i, Body Only (the 2013 model) is just $435 shipped once you add it to your shopping cart. It’s selling for $649 brand-new at Amazon.

Expiration: 11/16.

9. Oldie but a Goodie

If you’re feeling adventurous, you can get a good deal on the last generation PlayStation 3 500GB Bundle at Dell. Here’s how it plays out:

1) The bundle at Dell includes GTA V and NBA 2K14 and two controllers and is selling for $300. You also get a $50 Dell gift card included.

2) Buy a $400 Dell gift card and also get a $75 Dell gift card for free.

3) Using that $400 Dell GC, buy the PS3 Bundle for $300.

4) You now have a $100 gift card balance, plus a bonus $50 gift card and $75 gift card. You have $225 to spend at Dell, and the bundle is basically $175. That’s a lot better than the 250GB bundles that will be selling for $200 on Black Friday.

Expiration: 11/17.

10. Santa’s Helper

The new 2013 LEGO Castle Dragon Mountain set (70403) is currently $33 at Amazon with free shipping on $35+ (or free for Prime members). This new set gets some great reviews from LEGO aficionados and would be a wonderful gift for the kiddos.

Expiration: Limited time.
