Islip NY to Fort Lauderdale $14 Roundtrip!

For my friends who live in Long Island, traveling out of Islip Airport can be more convenient than running to Kennedy or LaGuardia in New York City. Well, Spirit Airlines has just announced new service out of Islip, and to celebrate, they have fares on several days in May and June for $7 to/from Fort Lauderdale, Florida. So if you can get dates to match up in both directions, you can fly roundtrip to the Sunshine State for $14 (plus security/airport fees)!

$7 dates from Islip to Ft. Lauderdale: 5/6, 5/7, 5/13, 5/14, 6/3, 6/4
$7 dates from Ft. Lauderdale to Islip: 5/7, 5/8, 5/14, 5/15, 6/4, 6/5

They have lots of other destinations with good prices from Islip, and other special offers from Columbia SC -- but the $14 Islip-Floria combination is eye-popping. So hopefully, some of you Long Islanders will be able to swing a quick escape!

Tickets have to be purchased by March 1st, but I'm sure seats are limited and will go fast. So if these appeal to you, check 'em out quickly.

AirTran Sale on Tickets Bought February 29th

AirTran Airways has announced a special sale for tickets bought on Sadie Hawkins Day, good for travel between April 1st and May 7th. Lowest fares are available for travel on Tuesdays and Wednesdays but they have discounts other days as well.

The choices of cities are wide and varied, so you may want to check their list to see what options match up with your travel needs. I found Philadelphia-Houston for $69 each way, which is a pretty nice price compared to usual discount fares.

February 29th doesn't come around too often so it's nice when there's an extra celebration like this.

Latest Restaurant.com Coupon Code for 60% Off - $25 Dining Certificates for Just $4.00!!!

Hey hey hey! Restaurant.com has another promotional code available to knock the price of their restaurant gift certificates down to even bigger bargains. The promo code allows you to get an extra 60% off their gift certificates. That means a $25 credit which normally goes for $10 is just $4! And a $10 restaurant credit (generally for lunch times), usually $3, can be had for $1.20!

I've posted about restaurant.com many times and they're a handy bargain for dining out. For those of you who may be unfamiliar with them, they have a long list of restaurants which accept their certificates. Most of them have some reasonable restrictions on use, i.e. the number of diners or minimum amount of the bill (i.e. some require a $35 check to use a $25 certificate). But if you use a $25 certificate that you got for $4, that $35 check can be paid with $10, making the final cost of your $35 meal just $14!

The array of restaurants and locations is long, so these can be great for use around your home town, while you travel, as gifts for kids away at school, etc.

The promotional code (you must enter it to get the discount) is EXTRA and it expires February 29th.

Buon appetito!

Dale & Thomas Popcorn Sampler - Great Use for those $20 Gift Certificates

If any of you ordered certificates from restaurant.com between December 14th and 20th using the promo code from my 12/14 posting, there was a bonus of a $20 gift certificate to Dale and Thomas Popcorn. If you still have any of those Dale and Thomas $20 codes available, they have a sale offer on their 12-pack sampler that brings the final cost down to $11.95 shipped after you apply that $20.

The 12-pack sampler usually goes for $48 but through this link it's available for $24. (A 6-pack sampler goes for $28, so it's 6 extra bags for $4 less). Using a $20 gift certificate brings it down to $4. Add in $7.95 for shipping and you receive this great 12-bag assortment of gourmet popcorn flavors for under $12.

Combining savings from one offer with a special price on another is a great way to maximize your dollars!

Showtime $25 Rebate Offer for New Subscribers

If you want to check out Showtime TV Network, here's an offer that might make it more palatable... a $25 rebate offer, as long as you have their service for three months worth of bills dated between January 1st and August 30th of this year. The rebate offer expires on May 31st (I presume that's when you have to start subscribing) and the rebate form needs to be postmarked by September 28th.

The offer is for new subscribers only, though, so if you already have Showtime it's unlikely the rebate would go through.

Here's the link to the offer details.

Free Accounting Software - Quickbooks Simple Start 2008 - Free Via Download from Intuit or Free After Rebate from Staples

Update February 27 -- the Staples rebate offer is expired but the Intuit site download is still free.

If you have a need for accounting software, here's a chance to get the Simple Start level of QuickBooks for free. That level would be useful for many people with small businesses or side-businesses. There are two ways to get it free right now. Intuit has it as a free download from their website. If you prefer to get it as a CD, you can purchase it at Staples for $89.99 and receive an $89.99 rebate -- Staples even throws in the shipping for free.

The Intuit site doesn't indicate how long the offer will remain. The Staples rebate is for purchases until February 23rd.

Whether you want to get it from Intuit directly or get the CD version from Staples, the website would be a good resource to see if this version would be useful for you and your accounting needs.

USB Flash Drives: 2GB $9.99 (After Rebate), 4GB $17.99, Both with Free Shipping

I've blogged about some nice deals on USB flash drives, but if you're still looking... Buy.com is offering the Kingston 4GB Hi-Speed Data Traveler for $17.99. They show the list price as $50, but when I see 4GB drives on sale locally they are running about $30 so this is still a nice price. Especially with the shipping thrown in for free. I've used Kingston memory sticks and find them dependable. This one is nice in that the connector retracts so there's no little cap you can lose in your travels.

They also have the I-Light Portable Thumb Drive Software with a 2GB stick for $39.99 with a $30 rebate making the final cost (with free shipping) $9.99. The software that comes with this drive is meant to have some additional features allowing extra security, zipping, e-mail storage etc., but the reviews on the software look mixed. You can see a couple of reviews on the buy.com site. But you can always still use the drive as is, and a 2GB for under $10 is always sweet. (And if you want to try the software, maybe it fits your needs as well.) The rebate is valid for purchase until February 22nd.

3M Post-It Photo Paper Free After Rebate

Post-It Notes are great for their ability to be stuck in places without tacks or tape and easily peel away without damaging surfaces. They've been used for years for notes, reminders and such. But Post-Its are also available as photo paper with adhesive backs. You can print up that photo and put in up on a wall, fridge or wherever else you want to brighten someone's day. Right now, Circuit City has some Post-It photo papers available that are free after rebate (or maybe even better than free).

The offers aren't available for delivery, you have to order them on-line and go into the store to pick them up. They have a 25-pack of semi-gloss 4"x6" paper on sale for $6.39 and it has a $7.99 rebate, making it better than free. The rebate is valid for purchases made until February 23rd.

They also have a matte finish paper in a 25-pack for $4.99 with a $4.99 rebate, making that free. However, the way I read the rebate form, it is a single rebate offer for one or the other, so don't order both. The semi-gloss seems like the better offer since the rebate exceeds the price, but if you prefer a matte look, go for that instead.

Here's the link to the 4"x6" semi-gloss with $7.99 back.

Make your photos appear in all sorts of new spots and let those smiles brighten up your day -- for free!

Burn a Lot of DVDs? Playo Blank DVDs 75% Off: 60 DVDs Just $4.98 with Free Shipping

Blank DVDs are a must for backing up your PC, making copies of files or photos to share etc. But isn't it nice when you don't have to pay a lot to get them? Right now, Staples has 60-packs of Playo brand DVDs on sale, regularly $19.98, now just $4.98. That's 75% off, and as an added bonus, Staples is offering free shipping on all purchases through February 23rd.

It's just a straight, low price -- no rebates involved.

The DVDs are available in DVD-R and DVD+R so you can pick the one that's most compatible with your devices (most PCs seem to be able to use both but if you have another kind of DVD recorder it might be more specific. Same with any other DVD player). They have the standard 4.7GB capacity so they'll hold a ton of files.

I have used this brand of DVDs and they seem to work well, I haven't run across any bad disks among the ones I've tried.

So why not pick these up while they're on sale... having them around will come in handy sooner or later.
