Amazon has run some really hot offers this month including this $25 deal for TurboTax!  If you plan to use this do-it-yourself tax software this year, you might not want to wait on this one, as the price will unlikely stay this low for very long.

For a limited time, Amazon is offering TurboTax Deluxe for PC or Mac for $25 (50% OFF, MSRP $49.99) ~ it’s even cheaper than the ”basic” version of this software!  This is the same version that is currently selling at Costco at their discounted box price of $39.99. We’ve looked around at our favorite discounters and can’t find anyone who has beat this price yet.

Here’s a great deal if that pesky time-to-change-your-water-filter light is blinking on your refrigerator (or about to be)…

It is way past time for us to replace the water filters on our refrigerator, so it was a nice discovery to find that through January 31, Amazon is giving an extra 20% OFF refrigerator filter replacements for select Whirlpool, Kitchenaid, Kenmore,  Maytag, and Amana refrigerators.  That savings is on top of the current discounted price you’ll see from Amazon, bringing some of the filters to 65% OFF the retail price you would normally pay!

For my purchase, that meant I received from Amazon, 2 Water Filters for the same price as 1 from Sears  (that’s even after Sears discounted price!).

Buying Tip: Do note, that you won’t see the extra 20% discount subtracted from the selling price until you get to the final “Review Your Order”/Order Summary confirmation page (which is the last page you’ll see after you input your shipping and credit card details) ~ right before you actually approve the order to be placed.  It will look something like this (click picture to make it bigger):

Go here to view all the water filters that qualify for the extra 20% OFF sale.  The extra savings sale does expire January 31, 2012.

Be sure to mark the next Sharon Young and Ladies Designer Warehouse sale (February 9th-11th) on your calendar. The sale will feature 1000s of items from their winter/resort clothing collection at big discounts – it’s definitely worth the drive to Dallas!  For anyone who has followed this blog for a while, you know I am a big fan of this sale. I have saved a bundle off retail prices (50 to 75% OFF) and brought home some gorgeous outfits at below wholesale.

We will be popping over to Dallas to capture some sneak preview pictures of the goodies, so stay tuned for a future post and more info next week. Until then, you can take a peek at the company websites to get a glimpse of some of the clothing brands you will find:

Saturday – 8:00AM to 5:00PM
Where: 10367 Brockwood Rd ~ Dallas. For those who have attended
before, this is in the same parking lot as the corporate office location, but right next door in the warehouse. You’ll see signs directing you where to go (or just follow all the ladies you will see!)
Do note: There is a large dressing room provided for trying on all your finds, but typical of women’s fashion warehouse sales, it is ladies only and not private. Since this is a women only event, husbands, guy-friends and kiddos under 12, please stay comfortable at home.
