Amazon – All-Day Gold Box Wii Event – Tuesday August 31st

Amazon features special deals every day in their Gold Box deals & today they are having a Nintendo Wii event! All day long they are featuring games or accessories for the Wii!! These deals are available during the specific time frame or until they sell out!

The trick is that they will not tell you ahead of time what will be featured, but  they will give you some hints.  So, keep a close eye on Amazon today – you may be able to find some awesome Christmas presents!

Here are the hints for today’s hourly deals:

• 12pm pst: Toy Story 3 Wii Game – $34.99 (regularly $46.99 – 30% off)
• 1 pm pst: 15 ways to have fun on your Wii
• 3pm pst : Bring the Broadway musical experience right into your living room
• 4pm pst: The Wii on 480 p
• 6pm pst: Enjoy this massive fantasy epic

Amazon also features a Gold Box Deal of the Day – here’s today’s deal:

Tony Hawk: Ride Skateboard Bundle – $39.99 (Regularly $69.99)  *This is available for the Wii, Playstation 3 or XBox 360 at this price. Today only!

The fall is definitely the best time of year on Amazon!! We saw so many amazing deals on Amazon last fall (especially October & November) – but they may be starting in September this year! Their prices definitely rivaled the sales in stores & many times you could even find a better deal (and with free super saver shipping when you spend $25 – it’s really better than heading out to the crowded shopping centers – in my opinion!)

What are your favorite diaper or baby deals this week?

Amazon Diapers & Wipes Sale Continues – 50% off & more

Thanks to my friend Cheryl for reminding me that Amazon continues to have the amazing diaper deal with discounts up to 50% off & more when using an Amazon coupon. I mentioned this deal a few weeks ago in July & Amazon has continued to have their sale on diapers & wipes 30% off when using the Subscribe & Save option.

The best part about this deal is that you can use the  bright orange, 20% off  Amazon diaper coupon found in the August AND September issues of Parents and/or Parenting magazines.  You may even be able to stack the diaper coupons if they are from different magazines.  Even better, you’ll get FREE 2-day shipping as part of the subscribe & save option.

Here’s how it will work:

-Check out all the diapers on sale for 30% off using the Subscribe & Save option (you will also find a number of natural diaper products including Seventh Generation, Earth’s Best & gDiapers).  You’ll just need to remember to cancel the Subscribe & Save option after your diapers have shipped {go into “Your account” , Click on “Manage Subscribe & Save Subscriptions”}

-Click on the diaper product you want & then on the right side, choose the Subscribe & Save option you want. Click Subscribe Now. You should then see the FREE shipping discount & 30% off discount at checkout.

-At checkout, you can then try to enter the codes from  20% off Amazon diaper coupon from the Parents or Parenting magazines (August or September issues) -you could possibly enter 2 codes – one from Parents & one from Parenting magazine to see discounts of up to 50 or even 70% off.  It may only work for you to enter 1 code, though – since I’m on vacation I haven’t tried it myself to see if it works or to see what the coupons says. Even at 50% off, this is still a great deal on diapers, especially the natural diapers which can be quite pricey with fewer sales.

If you don’t receive these magazines, this may be worth buying the magazine at the store {just make sure you flip thru the magazine & find the orange 20% off Amazon diaper coupon insert in the magazine first -I’ve heard stories of people going & ripping out the coupon without buying the magazine. }.  You could also check with family & friends or even ask at your local Doctor’s office if they have these magazines.

I’m not sure if this diaper deal will continue into September or if it will end in August – so just be aware that it may not last too much longer! Let us know how this works for you!

P.S. Facebook Fan Christa has offered a 20% off Amazon diaper coupon code (expires 8/31) for anyone to use – make sure to check her post a bit further down on the Thrifty NW Mom Facebook page.  Thank you for your generosity, Christa!

Amazon – Summer Toys up to 70% off

Amazon is clearancing out a number of their summer toys with discounts up to 70% off.  You’ll definitely find some great prices on a variety of items (many of these items are not ones I would typically classify just as “summer toys” either).

Here are just a few of the bargains you’ll find:

Radio Flyer Little Red Wagon – $17.45 (Regularly $44.95 – savings of 61%); eligible for free super saver shipping when you spend $25

Melissa & Doug Sticker Collection – Blue – $5.52 (68% savings); eligible for free super saver shipping when you spend $25

*Let me just say that this is seriously one of the best things I’ve gotten my 4 year old. My mom got this for her at the Hands – On Children’s Museum in the spring & it has provided hours of enjoyment for her. So, we decided to get this for our road-trip to CA & she has LOVED it! We got her the girl version & she can dress up dolls with all sorts of different clothes. This is a GREAT price, too, compared to the stores where it’s usually close to $8 – $10.

Sun Smart Butterfly Sunshade Pool - $9.98 (Regularly $29.99 – savings of 67%)

Thanks for the great tip, The Coupon Project!

Movie Deal at Amazon – FREE Movie Ticket with purchase of movie as low as $6.49

Amazon has an awesome deal going on for select DVD / Blu-Ray movies. If you buy any of the 56 select movies on Amazon, you’ll receive a promotional code to redeem for a FREE movie ticket (up to $10 value) for Eat, Pray,  Love; Salt; or The Other Guys available in theaters now.

This offer is going on now thru September 6th, 2010.  Your movie ticket promotional code will be good thru October 9, 2010 at participating theaters.

Here’s how it works:

–Buy a movie (DVD or Blu-Ray) from one of the 56 choices at Amazon – the prices start as low as $6.49 for DVD’s

–Once your movie has shipped, then you will receive an email within 48  hours, containing your promotional code. You will then click the link & go to Sony Movie Cash.com site. You’ll follow the instructions to print your certificate for your $10 movie certificate for Eat, Pray,  Love; Salt; or The Other Guys.

–Bring your printed movie certificate with you to a participating movie theater.

I just looked briefly at the list of movies & one of my all-time favorite movies, Steel Magnolias is priced at just $6.49. And I don’t have this on DVD – so I definitely think I’m going to have to buy this (& use my Amazon gift card from Swagbucks). Another favorite of mine “The Holiday” is priced at $7.99 for DVD.

So, have you seen any of these 3 movies currently in the theater – what did you think? I’ve heard a lot about Eat, Pray, Love – I love any movie with Julia Roberts!

Thanks Give Me Neither!

Parents Magazine – 1 year subscription for $4

Parents Magazine is on sale at Amazon thru August 14th for just $4 for a one year subscription. This is a great price as this magazine has had some great coupons recently (remember the 20% off Amazon diaper coupon which was in the August Parents issue & September issue) plus I regularly find other great coupons for Gymboree & more.  The coupons alone will pay for the subscription! Shipping is always free

Even better – use an Amazon gift card from your Swagbucks you’ve earned!

Thanks Thrifty & Thriving!

Huge Amazon $5 Mp3 album sale (including Pixar soundtracks!)

Amazon currently has upped their usual monthly selection of $5 Mp3 Albums to over 1000 for August. Normally they have 100 or so, but for the entire month of August, they have added many more, in nearly every genre.

Are you a Lady Gaga fan? Her album The Fame Monster is only $5. Or maybe you like country. OK, then pick up Tim McGraw’s album Let It Go or Kieth Urban’s Defying Gravity. Or are you are into some 80’s music? Then check out greatest hits albums from Huey Lewis And The News, Duran Duran or even Heart. Go back a little farther, with Bostonby, of course, Boston. Or go back even further, with Frank Sinatra’s Great Performances from 1953-1960 (20 songs!).

In addition, several Pixar movie soundtracks are available for the kids, including:

• Up
• Toy Story 2
• Ratatouille (probably one of my favorite soundtracks!)
• Finding Nemo
• The Incredibles
• Monsters, Inc.
• Wall-E

No matter what your tastes, you will find some great music on the cheap this month! Find the whole list of $5 Mp3 Albums at Amazon.

Thanks to my awesome hubby, Ben, who actually found these deals & even blogged about it for me!
