When it comes to digital cameras, one of the very popular lines is Casio's Exilim series. They're well known not just for quality but also for their extremely small and thin size. This is a camera you can easily fit into a shirt pocket, making it much more convenient to carry around than most digital cameras.
Right now, buy.com has a nice price on the Casio Exilim EX-Z85 9 Megapixel Digital Camera in brown, selling it for $109.00. That's $190.00 off the retail price of $299.00, or 63% off. Free budget shipping is part of the deal too.
Besides the convenient thin size, this camera is loaded with many great features, both for still photography as well as taking some video with voice recording as well. It has a 3x optical zoom, 2.6" LCD, and Face Detection. You can even drag and drop videos right into iTunes.
The specs are long and detailed and rather than list them all here, I'd suggest you check them out if you're at all interested in getting a thin digital camera.

The Weather Channel EZ Crank/Solar Radio $19.99
I'm sitting here in the middle of a snowstorm, reminded of the vagaries of Mother Nature. Being prepared for storms is something we all know we should do, but do we all have fresh batteries in all our flashlights? How about in a radio to check storm conditions and news reports? Well, probably not everyone is 100% up-t0-date all the time. So having an alternate way to be a bit better prepared wouldn't be a bad idea.
Right now, Buy.com is selling The Weather Channel EZ Crank/Solar Radio for $19.99, including free budget shipping. This retails for $39.99, so you're saving 50%.
To make absolutely sure that the Weather Channel EZ Crank Radio never lets you down, it uses any of three different methods for power: conventional battery, solar power, and the EZ crank. It has a powerful 5-LED flashlight. You can listen to the AM/FM radio using the solar battery. It's also designed with two built-in emergency storage compartments.
With this kind of unit, you could store one in the camping equipment for "just in case," keep one in your kitchen for some added safety should the power go out, and even give one to the kids to enjoy themselves in the great outdoors.

Get a $10 or $5 Gift Certificate with Two-Year Subscriptions to Magazines at Amazon (Some as Low as $3.99 Net After Certificate for Two-Years)
If you're looking for magazine subscriptions, either for yourself or as a gift, you may want to take a peek over at Amazon.com. They have a special offer going on for two-year subscriptions, where you get a bonus gift certificate with the subscription. Some of the magazines come with a $10 certificate and others entitle you to a $5 certificate. The certificates are good for future purchases at Amazon.
Some of the magazines that come with $10 certificates start as low as $13.99 for a two year subscription (Country Living, House Beautiful, Popular Mechanics or Smart Money), meaning the net after adding in the value of the certificate effectively becomes $3.99. They have lots of other choices (44 magazines total) too.
The magazines that entitle you to a $5 certificate include many with one-year subscriptions and some with two-year. For example, you could get a one-year subscription to Redbook for $5.99, with the $5 gift certificate making it effectively a net of 99¢. Or you could choose Seventeen or Good Housekeeping for $7.97, making them a net of $2.97 after considering the certificate you receive (these have auto-renewals but you can cancel that). This category has 99 magazines from which to choose.
You'll get the $5 or $10 gift certificate good on a future order on Amazon.com placed in your account as soon as the magazine has been processed (should be within one week of purchase). It looks like this promotion is valid through the month of March.

Easy Park Garage Parking Sensor $11.99 (70% Off)
Update March 6th -- The price has dropped further, to $11.99 (70% off retail).
Here's a deal where you can save a bit of money now and the potential to avoid spending big bucks later. If you have a small garage or one that's got a lot of stuff squeezing your car's parking area, you know how risky it can be to pull in far enough without going too far. One little miss and you could ding that fender or hood -- and it can cost a lot to get that repaired. Well, right now, buy.com is selling the Easy Park Garage Parking Sensor for $14.99 with free budget shipping. It retails for $39.99, so this is 62% off.
The Easy Park Garage Parking Sensor helps you get into the garage and park perfectly every time. It has three lights and a distance sensor to warn drivers when they are pulling in too close or not close enough, stopping you precisely at a safe, pre-calculated distance from the wall.
This allows you to make sure your car is far enough in that the garage door closes safely behind you, without risking pulling too far forward. It doesn't have sensors for the sides of the garage doors however.
If garage parking is a bit of a chore and you want to make it a little easier and safer, take a look at the image below and see if this would be a good, small investment.
