Late February Online Deals

As in the “real” retail world, online stores are currently having clearances and excellent savings on a lot of stuff. This is a great time to nab some deals, especially at Buy.com. Buy.com has become my favorite store for electronics and accessories. I recently bought a new digital camera there, with some CRV-3 batteries and a battery charger. I am wowed by their excellent servce and the deals are incredible!

Buy.com has a weekly sale webpage. I keep tabs on it to see if anything from my list shows up there. Because I homeschool and I also have a small home business, I’m always in need of various items, like USB flash drives, computers and computer accessories, software, etc. I saw this portable laptop desk on sale for this week– I think I love it!

You see, every kid here needs a desk to work at while doing his/her schoolwork. But desks are SO expensive, and I can’t say they are made to be very durable anymore. :-p So a laptop desk is perfect! Guess how much it is?! Guess guess!!!

$9!!! And to think that I paid $35 for one last year. :-p I’m NEVER shopping for this stuff at the local retailer anymore, not when there is Buy.com.

Buy.com has more than electronics, too. They have housewares, apparel, games, jewelry, toys, software, music, DVDs, lots more. Their prices are unbeatable, and they rate as my favorite online store. Check out Buy.com for prices and service before going anywhere else! I love Buy.com!

UPDATE: While placing an order at Buy.com, I noticed that there is a promotion going on– buy anything at Buy.com and get a free GoDaddy domain name. This is a really great deal. Be sure to look for the green GoDaddy banner (at the top of the ordering page) and check the box that says “Simply check this box and then proceed to checkout.”

A Very Nice Science Game Site

Here’s a very nice site I found, the Science Museum. There are games and such for the kids (or game-loving adults). I am always on the prowl for “educational” games for my sons.

The main website is a science-oriented website, based in the UK. There’s a lot of cool interactive things to do. I think it’s well-organized and looks like a great place to send the kids! Check out the site, it looks like a good one for homeschoolers, science scholars, and computer gaming fans.

History Videos From NBC

Love history? Love media clips? You might love to take a look at iCue. I found it recently while looking for educational videos. My kids love to watch videos, but I won’t allow them to browse YouTube. There is so much junk, so much perversity flowing through YouTube, YUK! iCue looks better. It’s run by NBC, so expect the usual self-promotion. But some of the stuff is worth watching. It’s an interactive site, too, with games and the social networking aspect (isn’t everything about social networking these days, lol!). Good site for homeschoolers.
