If you like unlocked 4G LTE smartphones, the second generation Motorola Moto G is currently on sale for $100 with free shipping, no contract, and a limit of three per customer at Amazon.com by Amazon proper. The white is in-stock while the black ships in 1-3 months but you can still order it if you like the price. The non-LTE version goes for $90. No contract regardless, you own the phone! The 4G LTE is powered by the Snapdragon 410, while the non-LTE by the Snapdragon 200. All together, they average 4.2 out of 5 based on 260+ customer reviews. Even if you don’t plan on using the 4G LTE part, for an extra $10, it may be a good idea to get the better specs.

Targeted Evernote offer: upgrade to Premium and get 3 months free
Evernote is running a targeted promotion for Basic (free) Tier or new users of the service, check your emails or app messages to see if you qualify. If you upgrade to Premium and pay for one year, you will receive an extra three months for free. In other words, you pay for one year but you receive 15 months instead of 12. Current Premium members are NOT eligible for this offer.
Their terms state:
“Limited time offer open to new Evernote users or existing Basic users who purchase via link in promotional email. Offer is not transferable and can only be applied to the Evernote account associated with the recipient’s email address. Offer ends on August 11th, 2015.”
Google Play Content Deals: free Wilco LP and Tom & Jerry movie rental, 99c album and HD movie rentals
In addition to the previously mentioned free TV pilots, Google Play has some more limited time deals on digital content, starting with a free movie rental in HD, it is the October 2005 movie Tom and Jerry: The Fast and the Furry (wink wink Fast and the Furious) with a 74 minute runtime. Once you scoop this up, you have 30 days to start watching it. If you don’t do so, it will simply expire.
Free TV pilots: Powers, Sex Drugs and Rock, Strain S2 and more
There is really no break in the TV seasons any more. New shows are rolling out all the time in all directions. IF you like to check out the pilots of new shows for FREE and commercial-free at your own leisure, not the network’s time slot, for a limited time only, you can digitally-own the following pilots, and watch them at any point in time in the future you want to. They are:
- Powers at MGo and Google Play and Vudu
- Sex Drugs and Rock & Roll (FX): Vudu and Google Play
- The Strain Season 2 Pilot (FX): Amazon Instant Video and Vudu and Google Play
- Married Season 2 Pilot (FX): Google Play

Refurbished Galaxy Note II (Verizon) for $130 {no contract}
If you love the idea of the Galaxy Note and S-Pens but don’t want to pay a lot or get tied up in a contract, and you are a higher risk shopper (eg comfortable with seller refurbished items), among the latest offers on eBay is the seller refurbished Samsung Galaxy Note 2, model SCH-I605, with Verizon cellular hardware, for $130 with free shipping, in the black color scheme, with a limit of five per customer. Nearly 500 units sold so far from this listing. The seller is “GuaranteeCellular” (98.7%). The listing says clean ESN. They come with a 14 day money back guarantee but no additional warranty. No contract!
Lucky promotion: $10 off future purchase with $50+ in Gift Cards (Xbox, iTunes, GPlay)
This is a YMMV promotion, but if you use the self-checkout machine at Lucky’s stores, it may spit out a promotional offer after you complete the transaction. The offer says that if you purchase $50 or more in any combination of iTunes or Google Play or xBox gift cards, their checkout register will spit out a coupon for $10 off your next purchase. You will pay full price for the gift cards. The discount will be on the next purchase after that. Limit two per customer. I haven’t done this promotion (yet at least), so I can’t tell you exactly how it works. If you are a regular Lucky’s shopper, this is effectively a 20% off on the gift cards, assuming you were going to spend that future money on future purchases anyway (eg you regularly buy groceries there).
July 12-18: earn 250 Plenti points with $25+ Google Play gift card
iTunes cards have been easy to get at a discount for many years, but only recently Google finally decided to play the discounting game for their Google Play cards. If you have a Plenti rewards account (or sign up for one), during the week of July 12-18 in 2015, at Rite Aid brick and mortar stores, you can earn 250 Plenti points (= $2.50 in rewards money) when you buy a $25 (or higher) Google Play gift card. This is effectively a 10% off discount, assuming you can spend the 250 Plenti points later on. Limit two offers per card during this promotional period.
34oz Bodum Assam French Tea Press for $25
If you are a fan of the Bodum brand and brewing tea, there’s a new temptation sale for you. The 34oz Bodum Assam French Tea Press is now on sale for just $25 at the Kohls website in four different colors. Kohls charges shipping unless you buy more items to reach the free shipping threshold. However, if you are an Amazon Prime member or plan to place just a $35+ order over there, they appear to have price-matched Kohls for around $25, and you can buy as many as you like at this price. It appears however that only the black handle is on sale at Amazon (which in my opinion looks nicer than the pastely colors).
NOTE: this is a French Press tea pot. It has a mechanism that presses the tea leaves down, not unlike coffee presses. It should not be confused with a standard teapot and infuser combination, although they obviously do the same thing… *spoiler alert* … they brew tea 🙂

$2 Flat Shipping with $50+ order Prime Pantry order
For a limited time only (they don’t specify the expiration date), coupon code BUYPANTRY gets you $2 flat shipping on orders of $50 of more at Amazon’s Prime Pantry. This is sort of like their Costco equivalent, not to be confused with AmazonFresh that sells fresh produce and fresh groceries. However, there is a big overlap in products that can be ordered between the two programs. It adds to the complexity but also offers the more bargain-oriented shoppers two different ways to get discounts 🙂 Prime Pantry only requires a Prime membership, not a Prime Fresh membership.
These are the Terms and Conditions of this limited time promotion.
If you are considering an order there, here are some potentially good deals to add to your order, especially if you are close to $50 but need a little boost to get to $2 shipping:
- 4pk of Strong Kind Bars for $4.74 before getting 20% off with coupon
- some 20pk Stash Tea Bags for $2.38 such as the Chai Spice Black Tea or the Lemon ginger
- 18pk Numi Collection Tea Sampler (these are 18 different flavors, so you may want to get 2-3 boxes for better sampling/trying)
July 8-14: Blueberry Price Wars at S&F and Lucky
Blueberries are in season, so if you love them or like to freeze them or jam them or use them in many other different ways, the grocery store shopping week of July 8-14 in 2015 has a Smart and Final vs Lucky’s price war! At Smart and Final, you can get a 18oz clamshell for $2, while at Lucky’s you can get a 2lb clamshell for $4. So S&F wins just barely, because 18oz is 1 lb and 2oz. So for $4, you get an extra 4oz 🙂 Regardless, either place is a great deal. These are fresh blueberries in the fresh produce sections, NOT the freezers!
Existing Customers: Get All Studiopress Themes for $225 [last chance]
August 20, 2015 UPDATE
This is the last chance to get this for $225 as an existing customer. In September, the regular price of the Pro Plus pack will increase from $400 to $500, and in 2016, Studiopress will switch to a recurring subscription plan. But if you buy these now (before 8/26/15 at 5pm), you can lock in the 37 Studiopress themes and 31 bonus themes with lifetime updates and support.
Whether you need them all or not, it is up to you to decide. Considering the prices, if you plan to buy a couple more, you might as well get the whole lot. If you are happy with what you have, and don’t foresee the need to buy additional Genesis themes, then you can spend the $225 elsewhere.
June 2015 offer
For WordPress bloggers and developers, if you have an existing Studiopress account, they have a limited time flash sale that lets you buy all their in-house StudioPress wordpress themes (currently 38 and more coming) for a one-time fee of $225 with lifetime updates and support. The name of this bundle is “StudioPress Pro Plus All-Theme Pack”. It typically goes for $300. If you are not an existing Studiopress member, the price is $300. The offer ends 7/15/15. No coupon needed.
PS: the email of the flash sale also mentions “31 bonus themes” but I have no idea what that means since they don’t elaborate on the email and there’s no mention of it on their website.
