More sites offering huge deals of the day
In another post that can be categorized as “retailers need us, so they are willing to bend even lower to meet our current economic needs” (although that is a long category), it appears that many are offering more yummy enticements to get us to check out their sites.
The tasty flavor of the day? Sites that offer a “deal-a-day” or a “giveaway-a-day.”
Amazon is one that has been doing this for a while, with their Gold Box Deal of the Day, but the crowd is thickening.
Diamond Shark, a jewelry retailer, features one fine jewelry piece each day that is hugely marked down.
Diamond Shark’s “Diamond Deal of the Day” offers everything from fine rings, bracelets, earrings, necklaces and watches — the same ones you can reportedly find at national brand-name jewelry stores.
Today’s deal, April 15, which has a literal clock running as I write, is the Accutron by Bulova 26R145 Masella Collection Swiss Made Genuine Diamond Dial & Bezel Ladies Watch.
The site lists the retail price as $995, but they are selling it for $197 and free shipping.
I did a quick online search and found the watch listed at $995 and on sale anywhere from $865.65 to $593.99. So it looks like a good deal at the Shark.
Another retailer getting into the act is Lucky Magazine Online, which offers its readers prizes, available online, and in the next few weeks, will be reportedly launching a dedicated “Giveaway A Day” section.
They also have a button on the site for free stuff.
And another, Madberries, has probably the most creative approach — giving shoppers the chance to straight-out win fashion, beauty, home and living items.
The site is a product of Bauer Publishing, the parent company of InTouch Weekly and Life & Style Weekly.
Shoppers just fill out their name, e-mail address and date of birth to enter themselves in a drawing for their item of choice. I think I am going to throw my hat in the ring for a little pink Apple iPod Shuffle on there.
To find more sites that offer deals of the day, just Google “deal of the day.”

Those tips include:

J.C. Penney preview sale starts today
J.C. Penney is having its “lowest prices of the spring” sale on Friday, April 17, and the store is so excited about these markdowns that it is having two full days of preview before the sale, starting today.
Some of the prices you will find are $8.99 for all men’s novelty T-shirts, girls’ and boys’ Arizona preschool tops for $6.99, juniors’ outfits for less than $30 and the grand pooba — buy one item, get one for 88 cents on clothes, pillows, drapes and much more.
But wait, that apparently is not all. J.C. Penney also is having what they call “super hot buys” on appliances, luggage, dishware and many other items for the home while supplies last.
For example, there is a Cooks George Foreman 10-burger grill that is originally $99.99, that has been marked down to $38.88.
So maybe you do need two days to preview it all.
