woot-off going on now

Just getting to my laptop for the first time in a few days (taking a quasi tech break).

There’s a woot-off going on right now. Have a go at finding a great deal!

From the woot.com page:

I see some orange flashing lights on the main page — what do they mean?

No, you aren’t seeing a side effect from your allergy medication. You have found a Woot-Off, a short term frenzied mutation of our product posting procedure. In Woot-Off mode, a new product is launched immediately after the sellout of the previous deal. There is a half-Woot-life of 12 hours maximum on any product within a Woot-Off that does not sell out. The number of Woot-Off items, sequence and quantity will not be announced. When Woot-Off mode is over, the orange lights will disappear and our normal schedule will resume. Depending on its success, this may be a mode we would go into once or twice a month for a relatively short duration of time (24-72 hours generally).

Men’s New Balance Minimus 10v2 (MR10YB2) $39.99 + 6.95 shipping

I switched to the New Balance Minimus line last year and haven’t looked back. These are great for lifting in as well as running. Nike’s don’t fit my feet well, and I’m a New Balance believer. They always fit great and last.

The Men’s 10v2 shoes are on sale today only for $39.99 + $6.95 shipping. Get them here.

Get them while you can – they’re going for ~$100 on Amazon.

Nest Protect pre-order for $99

I recently closed on a new house, and one of the things I was/am most looking forward to is hooking it up with gadgets. “I want everything in my house controlled by my phone” has been my mantra.

Top of the list is the Nest thermostat and Nest Protect. Originally priced at $129, Nest Protect looked awesome. However, Nest decided to relaunch it to remove a feature that was malfunctioning. You can pre-order new version for $99. Amazon Prime gets you free shipping.

Or you can order it at Nest.com and watch the video, which is pretty awesome.

TO MAKE THIS DEAL SWEETER…

There is a $33 credit if you’ve previously ordered a Nest Protect.

[flight] HOT! JFK – Verona, Italy $460 round trip

This probably won’t last long, and I haven’t played with the various permutations. I’m also too lazy right now to fully investigate, but it looks like CheapOair isn’t applying the fuel surcharge. Fuel dumps FTW!

The lowest fare ITA Matrix is showing is $974.

The fuel surcharge is $516 of that price.

However, you can book this on CheapOair for $460.

Hope someone can take advantage!

Tons of tools (422 pieces) for $200

This is a truly amazing post on SlickDeals about how to get a TON of Kobalt tools from Lowes for $200. There are step by step instructions in the thread.

Basically:

  • Put in three separate orders.
  • Each order would utilize either a 10% off (47000LOWES2836S) or $10 off (47000LOWES0666D) coupon.
  • Each order is optimized to get the most free items possible.

I live for deals like these.

[flight] New York – Anchorage, Alaska, $420 rt

This is a lukewarm deal (NYC-ANC would dip under $400 frequently last year), but I haven’t seen a good fare to Alaska in a while.

$420 round trip, all in, on Delta. I just checked and availability is wide open in September. Wide open as in available every single day from the 7th on.

My family is heading down to Brazil for the World Cup, and I’d rather not bring our huge DSLR for a variety of reasons. I was looking for a cheap, decent, small digital camera at a good price.

I found this:
