DSLR Camera Deal: Canon T3i w/ 3 lenses + filter + Pixima Pro9000 printer - $700?!

It seems to be that time again for that super-awesome deal from Canon/Amazon where you can get their latest T3i DSLR camera for a whole lot less. The T2i and T3 also apply to this deal, but it’s worth the extra $100-$200 to get the T3i. Additionally, the Canon 60D and 7D are eligible for this promotion if you are a really serious photographer or want to do high-quality video shoots with the 7D.

In this deal, you can choose to buy one of the extra lenses for $100-$150 off or both for a total of $250 off. Then you basically get a free filter and almost a free printer.

As always, the seller has to be listed as Amazon in order to get the deal for all of the parts. Once an alternative seller is listed, the discount for the lens/filters will not apply at checkout.

Blendtec Home Blender Sale - $345

Will it blend? That is the question.

If you have ever seen the YouTube videos of that Blendtec guy blending everything from iPhones to rakes, you’ll know that it will blend one way or another. And right now, their Blendtec home 1560-watt blender is on sale at Amazon. The 2-prong stainless steel blades spin at up to 29,000 rpm and have a lifetime warranty, so you know your drinks will always come out perfectly blended every time no matter what you put in there. If you’re the type of person who says, “I eat people like Justin Bieber for breakfast,” well you certainly can prove it now!

I don’t know if there’s a better blender out there, but Blendtec most certainly has me sold on the entertaining videos alone. It’s an expensive blender for sure, but you get what you pay for. Get yours while it’s on sale right now for..

$345 @ Amazon

Sale over! Back to $399 as of 6/13.

Deal of the Day: DEWALT DC725KA 18-Volt Cordless Compact Hammer Drill/Driver - $98

I’ve used some DEWALT tools in the past and they’re quite nice in quality. At my house we have many drills that die too easily and can barely hold a charge over a few days. It would give me a great peace of mind to have ONE drill that works very well. This drill is lightweight in design (4.9lbs) and delivers exceptional performance with power. It even has a LED light for when you’re working in confined spaces.

Amazon has a special promotion going right now where they’ll take $20 off your order when you spend $100 or more on qualifying items. The price shows $117.99 but the $20 is taken off on the final checkout page. 

Father’s Day is June 19! hint hint

$98 @ Amazon.com

Sorry! Sold out minutes after I made this post. The price now shows as $167.

KitchenAid Artisan 5-Quart Stand Mixer (Black only) - $210

Right now, Amazon has the KitchenAid Artisan 5-Quart mixer for the lowest price it has been in years without rebates. This is the mixer to have if you are serious about baking, so get on it! Not sure how long this deal will last.

$210 @ Amazon.com

(Or if you’re really serious about baking/mixers, the professional version can be had as low as $303 if you select the pearl metallic color.)

Deal of the Day: Lady Gaga's "Born This Way" MP3 album for 99 cents on Amazon [Expired]

It’s been a while since I posted up a deal of the day. If you weren’t aware, Lady Gaga’s latest album was released today. With over 10 million followers on Twitter alone, you can bet that her little monsters around the world are going crazy over this release. Fans were even camping out at Best Buy!

If you recall, Amazon now has a Cloud Drive service which allows you to store 5GB of stuff on their servers. With a digital album purchase, you get upgraded to 20GB for an entire year. If you haven’t decided what cheap album to buy yet, this is the one to get. After purchasing it will also be available in your Cloud Drive.

Note that I think this 99 cent price is only for today and due to the high volume of purchases, Amazon is having trouble keeping up their download link. Don’t worry though. You will get your Gaga fix by the end of the day!

$0.99 @ Amazon.com

20GB of Amazon Cloud Storage for 1 Year for Under $1

Amazon launched their Cloud Drive storage service yesterday, which is 5GB of free storage on their servers or more (at a price) if you need it. Needing only an Amazon account, you’ll have access to your files anywhere, any time. You can upload music, your documents, or whatever you want and only in the event of a super-epic catastrophe will you have to worry about your files ever being lost!

Until the end of this year, they’re having a promotion if you buy an MP3 album, you’ll get 20GB total for a whole year. Luckily there are plenty of MP3 albums for under a dollar, and this 69-cent Glee album looks like it would do just fine.

$0.69 @ Amazon.com

Deal of the Day: BELKIN Dual Fit Sport Armband fits iPod Touch/iPhone 4 & 3GS/Droid Incredible [dead]

I haven’t posted a deal in a while because I stopped shopping for stuff. However, I have been wanting an arm band for my iPhone when I go running and I’m glad this one is at a decent price. This is an overstock item and doesn’t come in its original retail packaging. It’s not specified for anything other than the iPod touch but it will fit other devices like the iPhone and Droid as long as you take off the case if you use one.

It has a key pocket, a reflector band around the front for night running, and it’s made of super soft neoprene material.

According to Amazon reviews (who also has this for $1 more in retail packaging), if you have big arms (15+ inches around or so) this will not fit you. Here’s hoping it doesn’t suck.

$5.99 FS (MSRP $19.99) @ eBay.com

Deal is dead but it’s still available on Amazon for a buck more.
