Update Oct. 28th -- this is for people who live in/near Newtown PA. After I posted this info on Facebook, I got a message from Bagel Junction in the Village at Newtown shopping center. They'll double the value of this coupon to include one Philly Strawberry Red Real Kettle Boiled Bagel plus a second bagel of your choice. You just need to bring them a copy of the coupon (and mention you saw this on John's blog).

The coupon expires on November 3rd (still unsure why a coupon good on Fridays would expire on a Tuesday) so it can be used this Friday the 30th.

For Air Travel: Able Planet Clear Harmony Noise-Canceling Headphones $44.99 (55% Off)

If you've read my blog post about having a "faux first class kit" for more comfortable airplane travel, you know that one of the items I consider terrific to have along is (are?) noise-canceling headphones. Eliminating most of the heavy drone of the jet engines, the sound of crying infants and loud conversation makes every flight a bit less taxing.

If you are a very frequent flyer, perhaps a set of Bose® headphones would be worth the $300-$350 investment, but for most people who fly just occasionally that might be a steep investment. But other good makers of headphones have models that are almost as effective, and when you can find them on sale (you never find Bose® on sale), you can save even more.

Right now, Buy.com is selling Able Planet NC200 Clear Harmony Foldable Active Noise Canceling Headphones with Linx Audio™ for $44.99. These retail for $99.99, so you are getting 55% off. Free budget shipping is included.

These headphones feature:
- Award-Winning Patented LINX AUDIO™ - Hear the Difference™ technology
- In-Line Volume Control for Easy Adjustment
- Lightweight and Comfortable fit
- State-of-the-art active noise cancelation (ANC)
- Small and compact
- Frequency Response: 20Hz - 20,000Hz
- Sensitivity at 1KHz: 110dB and 116dB
- 3.5mm plug, plus 1/4" Home Stereo Adaptor
- AAA Battery included
- Soft carrying pouch

Restaurant.com Promo Code - 80% Off All Orders Through October 31st

Well, it's the time of month when Restaurant.com trots out their deepest promo code, getting you 80% off the cost of certificates or their Dinner-of-the-Month Club. With this offer, you can purchase certificates giving $25.00 of dining credit at many restaurants for as little as $2.00. Think of the savings on dining out (certificates do have some minimum check or entrée requirements).

If you want to get even a bit more bang for the buck, their Dinner-of-the-Month Club gets you a bonus certificate with each enrollment. If you get three months (a $25.00 certificate each month) you also get a bonus $10.00 certificate -- with the promo code that costs you just $6.00 for $85.00 worth of dining credit. A six-month plan comes with a bonus $25.00 certificate for a total of seven, or $175.00 dining credit for $12.00 now. An annual plan includes a bonus $50.00 certificate, making it worth $350.00 in dining for $24.00.

Plus, there's a little Dinner-of-the-Month secret that helps with certain restaurants: some of the more popular restaurants cost more than $10.00 as the starting regular price for the $25.00 certificate, menaing you pay more than $2.00 with the discount code. But if you use Dinner-of-the-Month, you can redeem that month's $25.00 certificate for any restaurant's certificate -- which means you still have paid the lowest price even for more expensive certificates.

The code to enter at checkout is TREATS, and remember to hit the apply button afterwards to see the savings in your cart.

Today, Oct. 26th: 5-in-1 Wireless Stereo Headset with Net Chat - $9.99

Having a set of wireless headphones can really be useful if one of you wants to watch TV late at night without disturbing other people in the house, or situations like that. But today's offer from Daily Steals has more features than the typical wireless headset. They are selling the Princess International PI-06879 5-in-1 Wireless Stereo Headset with Net Chat for $9.99. This item retails for $69.99 so the savings are nice, even taking into account shipping charges of $5.99.

This wireless headset provides wireless reception from your TV, CD, MP3, DVD player or PC. Its wireless monitor transmitter can be used as a monitoring device for your baby in another room. It also has an FM radio built-in and comes with audio cables so it may be used as wired earphones.

It also states it includes a Net Chat feature that allows you to chat in total privacy on your computer (there's a built-in microphone). Please note the following, though: a review on a similar type of wireless headset shown on Amazon has some saying there is no wireless mike on that one. It's a different brand but I wanted to post it so you can check it out yourself. The one listed at Daily Steals states it has a mike, but so does the one at Amazon. If the mike is a critical feature for you, caveat emptor with this deal from Daily Steals -- they are obviously going by a product description. Here's the amazon link.

This would be a very nice price for plain wireless headphones, but with the added features, it's a lot of flexibility at a low price.

Having a rechargeable flashlight is always handy, and here's a deal on one that recharges using a built-in car charger adapter.

Buy.com is selling the Dorcy 12-Volt Rechargeable/Battery 50-Lumen LED Auto Safety Light for $7.99 with free budget shipping.

Digital Concepts 100-240v Worldwide-Use Home & Car Rapid Battery Charger w/ AA & AAA Rechargeable Batteries $9.99

I've been told by one of my readers that he has ordered this a few times because it's such a great deal on rechargeable batteries. You not only get a charger but a total of eight batteries (4 AAA and 4 AA) for less than you'd normally pay just for four rechargeable batteries alone (and remember, you're getting eight, plus the charger).

Well, the deal is back again and once again lower than before. Buy.com is now selling the Digital Concepts 100-240v Worldwide use Home & Car Rapid Battery Charger w/ AA & AAA Rechargeable Batteries for just $9.99, including free budget shipping.

It retails for $29.99 so your savings are 66% off.

You would typically pay $10-$15 for four AA or four AAA rechargeables separately, so at $9.99 you're already way ahead.

In fact, with the cost of the batteries alone, it may be worth picking up a second pack just for some additional batteries.

Plus you get a super-versatile charger. You can use it at home, use it in a car, use it in foreign countries with 240 voltage. That's a lot of places where this can save you from having to buy new throwaway batteries just to keep your digital camera working, etc.

And you know when you travel, it's harder to find great prices for batteries, so the savings can be great while you're on a trip.

So, in addition to the upfront savings, your savings will keep multiplying by the numbger of regular batteries you won't need to be buying in the future.

This charger features:
- charges either AA or AAA batteries in about 2 hours
- charges 2 or 4 batteries at once
- easy-select 2 or 4 battery toggle switch
- 100 or 240 VAC wall outlet
- built in switching adjusts the AC input voltage automatically (adapter req'd)
- charge in an outlet at home, or use charger while in your car
- retractable spade type AC plug for easier storage
- charges up to 1000 times
- red Charging light and green Ready lights indicate charging status
- subsequent partial charges will not reduce the batteries' capacity
- batteries last up to 4 times longer than standard alkaline batteries
- includes 4 AA high capacity 2300 mAh NiMH rechargeable batteries
- includes 4 AAA high capacity 900 mAh NiMH rechargeable batteries

This will really save a ton of money on batteries over the years, especially when you're traveling and less apt to find bargains when you need to buy regular batteries. I think this will be a handy addition to anyone's travel kit. Check it out by clicking the picture below.

Website to Track Airfare Specials for Specific Itinerary and Dates

I post a bunch of deals on airfare specials -- they cover certain periods and certain routes. Taking advantage of them means having some flexibility to travel when you find a good fare. But sometimes people have a trip planned well in advance for certain dates, and the question is how to find the best fare. If there is plenty of lead time, chances are there may be a fare special or two in the interim. But who has the time to keep checking all the time?

Well, thanks to a note in Real Simple magazine, there's a website called Yapta.com which helps solve that problem. You enter the itinerary you're traveling and the departure/return dates. And you will receive an alert whenever the fare drops. So if cost is a factor in whether you can afford the vacation, this may tell you when that window of opportunity opens.

The website service is free. To check it out, click this link.

Free Dog Food Sample from N-R-G

Dehydrated dog food uses minimal amount of energy to dehydrate the ingredients. It also does not utilize any energy to maintain its state unlike frozen raw foods that need to use energy to be kept frozen.
