Pandigital Digital Photo Frame for $40!

Occasionally, I will highlight a deal that is not from Costco, but might be relevant for Costco fans.

In this case, we just got ourselves a Pandigital Pantouch 8" LCD Digital Photo Frame. If you're like me, you've probably thought, "digital photo frames are nice ideas, but the cost is still way too high to warrant getting one."

Well, here's your chance to give it a shot w/o breaking the bank.

Bed, Bath, & Beyond, they of the generous return policy on wedding registries, has this frame on clearance for $79.99, from it's original price of $159.99. Not bad, but still not enough to whet your appetite? Well, you can use the ubiqitous 20% coupon to bring it down to $63.99, AND there is a $30 rebate on this item as well. Your end cost will be around $40 depending on your tax rate. Definitely more palatable to give this quality photo frame a shot.

The catch also is that until Sunday, this frame is marked at $129.99 at the store, but rings up at $79.99, so you should still be able to get this w/o fear of other frugal-minded shoppers snapping them all up.

From a usability standpoint, it has 1GB of internal memory, and also accepts numerous media formats. Others rave about the 800x600 resolution and the wireless functionality is a nice feature as well.

Check out all the details on this at fatwallet. Pay close attention to the model # that is referenced, as there are numerous models of Pandigital frames.

New Costco coupons for 2/9-3/1

are up at Fatwallet. Check out the PDF file to see the scanned pages.

Some items of note for us:

• Skinny Cow ice cream sandwiches - $2.50 off
• Kirkland Sig laundry detergent - $2.50 off
• Ziploc freezer gallon/quart, sandwich bags - $2 off

Remember, these coupons should be automatic if you use one. i.e. just use 1 coupon per visit even though you're buying multiple "coupon" items. Then come back and use another coupon for more "coupon" items. This way you can get more than one of a certain item that has an item limit.

eBay Watch: Costco coupons

FYI, that old Costco membership card, sold as a collectible, didn't sell.

The new September Costco coupons have come out, and as a result, many have shown up on eBay.

It's an interesting phenomenon, auctioning off the coupons. I thought about selling certain big-ticket item coupons, but it seems like most of the auctions are for complete, unused coupon books. The main reason I can think of for buying these online are if you aren't a Costco member and you want to use these coupons? Or if you share membership somehow, and want to get your own coupon book? Any other thoughts?

Unadvertised savings at Costco

We all know about the 2-week coupon deals that come monthly or bi-monthly. We also know about the Passport to Savings, a summer's worth of coupons specified by week.

However, you will often find items that have an instant manufacturer's rebate or instant savings that is unadvertised. There's not really a place online where these are tracked that I know of. I think Costco does this intentionally to get foot traffic and people through the doors.

One deal that we found a few weeks ago was the Kirkland Signature Fish Oil Omega 3 Concentrate - 400 softgels (#926628), originally priced at $8.99, but with an instant savings of $2, it was $6.99. These are the "fishy" smelling pills, not the more expensive enteric-coated ones. But $6.99 for 400 softgels is a steal!

Another deal mined from Baby Cheapskate, Enfamil Lipil (powder) formula - 38oz can for $28 (regular price $32). Should be on sale for that price through August 28.

Another baby/vitamin-related note: Our doctor recommended supplementing our daughter with Enfamil brand Tri-Vi-Sol, a vitamin supplement for breastfed infants. There are 3 essential vitamins: A, C D. Breast milk is by far the best food for infants, but it apparently lacks recommended amounts of vitamin D. If you were to walk into your local drugstore, it would probably run $9.89 for the 1.67 fl. oz bottle. Walmart probably carries it for less, but it wasn't in stock at 2 Walmarts that we went to. Costco, of all places, has it for $8.59, which is the lowest I've seen. It's in the pharmacy section, on the counter at our Costco. There is probably a corresponding generic drug, but I haven't looked for it.
