Forget saving all of your shopping energy for Black Friday, because some stores, like Amazon, have already kicked off their discounts and deals with countdowns to Black Friday!

When you head over to Amazon's Black Friday site, you can already find great game sales in their "lightening deal" section.

And for today only, if you buy a Wii you can scoop up a free game from their selected list!

The Palm Pre Now $80 and Palm Pixi Now $25 From Amazon

GeekSugar — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 10:48:29 -0800

Palm's Pixi, just landed in stores across the country, and it's already dropped to $25 on Amazon. That's right, if you sign up for a new two-year contract plan from Sprint, you can save quite a bit of money off the original price tag. I know most of you weren't over excited about the Pixi, but for $25, I can't help but recognize this impressive deal.

And not only that, but you can also head on over to Amazon and get the Palm Pre for $80 - again, with a new service plan from Sprint.

Both phones include a free activation deal that is good until Nov. 23.

Access Store Coupons on Your iPhone With the Yowza App

With the holidays right around the corner, I'm not only starting to think about shopping, but I'm also thinking of creative ways to save. Yesterday, I told you about ten websites that will help you save some money on gifts, and today it's all about Yowza!!, an iPhone and iPod Touch app that will show you all of the store coupons within a mile or as far as 15 miles from where you are shopping (which makes sense why it has two exclamations after its name!).

Once you download this free app, open it and you will see all of the coupons applicable to your location, or you can type in a store name to see what's available. And if an offer includes a bar code, just have the cashier scan the barcode, right from your phone. No coupon clipping, no paper, no hassles - I die!

Want to stock up on some Nintendo Wii video games before the holidays? Either to give as gifts or to play when guests come over? Well, for the next week at Target, when you buy any two Wii games for $50, you can get the third game for free.

With more than 80 games to choose from, you are guaranteed to find all of your favorites - including classics like Wii Fit, Mario Kart, and The Beatles: Rock Band.

Basic and a Bargain: Black Laptop Bags Under $50

GeekSugar — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 10:15:50 -0700

The red Hayden-Hartnett Ibiza bag ($200) is my top pick for an all-purpose Fall computer carrier, but I understand not everyone is into colorful or pricey laptop bags and sleeves. After more than 76 percent of you said you loved the Deena & Ozzy Quilted Laptop Bag ($48), I decided it was time scope out some chic black laptop bags for those who like to keep it simple and classic.

I die for this professional but pretty Roxy Sanctuary Bag ($48), which comes with ample lining and a built-in laptop sleeve. Besides, you aren't supposed to wear white after Labor Day, so why should your laptop? Check out some of my other faves below.

Quilted Polyester Laptop Bag - $38.00	Roxy Sanctuary Bag - $44.00
Deena & Ozzy Quilted Laptop Bag - $48.00	Faux Croc Laptop Sleeve in Red - $40.00
Victorinox Slimline Laptop Carrier - $45.00	Manic Laptop Case - $28.00

Gap's Style Mixer iPhone App Hooks You Up With Discounts

GeekSugar — Thu, 27 Aug 2009 13:25:18 -0700

Why do you need another free app from a retailer?

Because Gap's Style Mixer app for the iPhone does more than just let you peruse and mix Gap pieces - the cool feature is that when you open the app near a Gap store, you unlock a special discount.

So, sure, you can mix and match styles and then add them to Facebook, but what you really want is the discount, right?

And if you can't find a Gap store? There's an app for that.

Redbox Kiosks Now Charging $2 For Game Rentals

GeekSugar — Mon, 17 Aug 2009 01:45:48 -0700

I have a wide selection of video games at my disposal, but there's something about being able to go to a kiosk and pick up a new title at any time that gets me excited. As you can probably guess, I'm that person who subscribes to Netflix but will still go to a kiosk and rent a movie.

Redbox movie rental kiosks are now offering video game rentals (including PS2, PS3, Xbox 360, and Wii video games) for only $2 per night.

Most of these kiosks are scattered around the US, but Reno, NV, is first to test out this affordable new game rental service.
