This giveaway has ended! The winning comment was #204

holidaysmadesimple I’ve told you before how Sam’s Club is featuring a special deal each day until Christmas. This was formerly called Deal of the Day and is now called Special Buy of the Day. The deals change daily and are deeply discounted from the normal price. You can only get the Special Buy of the Day online! The prices are not available in stores.

I’ve already seen a lot of great items going through the Special Buy of the Day! This will definitely help you with your holiday shopping this year! Some of the items that have been the Special Buy of the Day so far are:

Today’s Special Buy of the Day is Christmas Ornaments in Gold and Neutrals that come in 100 count packages! We really could use some new ornaments. Each year a few get broken and we are getting down to just a few. Right now as the Special Buy of the day they are only $33.98 for the 100!

We have a lot of homemade ornaments that I love, but these would give the tree that sparkle that it needs to make it all stand out! I think the colors are great and would match with our new couches.

To be sure you don’t miss out on a Special Buy of the Day be sure to subscribe to email and mobile updates!

If you have been keeping up with my Sam’s Club posts, you know that means there is most likely a giveaway! Once again…I have a $25 Sam’s Club giftcard to giveaway!

Main Entry: Visit the Special Buy of the Day page and browse the recent specials of the day (located in the center near the bottom), tell me which one you would have wanted!

Bonus Entries: You must complete the main entry before doing any of the bonus entries.

holidaysmadesimple

The Sam’s Club Holidays Made Simple site is full of tools to make this holiday season a lot less stressful! Sam’s Club is a big ginormous store! They have a bit of everything covered! Wouldn’t it be great if you could narrow it down even more? Check out the Gifts Galore section on the Holidays Made Simple portal!

Gifts Galore has gift suggestions for gifts in sections such as under $20, $100, $200, $300, $500 and above $500! You can also browse gifts for her, him and the kids! You can even pre-order items with their pre-order program!

giftsPov I am loving the More Joy For Your Jingle gift guide! It seems to have all the hot items for this year in there! It’s pretty cool because when you open it, you can bookmark pages and make notes!

I do believe the Gifts Galore section can be really helpful for us all this holiday season! I know it will be saving some of my brain cells for sure! Trust me, I can’t function if I lose anymore!

I even think that I may venture to Sam’s Club for Black Friday, I have never shopped Black Friday and I’m pretty scared. I do think that I can handle it at Sam’s Club because I will not have to go anywhere else. I will be able to get everyone’s gifts nailed down there. What I can’t get there will be homemade gifts anyhow.

To help you with your holiday shopping, I am offering up yet another $25 Sam’s Club Gift Card! You can use this towards a membership, a upgrade, or to shop! See below to enter for your chance to win!

Main Entry: Visit Gifts Galore and check out the gift guide called “More Joy For Your Jingle”. Browse through and tell me what one item in the guide you have on your shopping list!

Sam’s Club Deal of the Day and a $25 Sam’s Club Giveaway!

Posted by: Brandy | Comments (245)

Thursday, November 5th, 2009

This giveaway has ended. The winning comment was comment #133

holidaysmadesimple Yesterday I talked about the new Sam’s Club portal site called Holidays Made Simple. I also pointed out the Deal of the Day feature which I think is fabulous! From November 4 to December 24, Sam’s Club will be offering a specific deal every day. These discounted prices are only available online and can not be found in the stores.

Today’s Deal of the Day is something my family could really use. We have a trip coming up after the Holidays to visit family in Michigan. My luggage is trashed. It has been used so many times and really is just torn up. Todays Deal of the Day is HEYS 4WD® Spinner Luggage – Black – 2 pc.

dealofthedayluggage

Four-wheel Spinner luggage made from a Polycarbonate composite, Heys 4WD® uses Japanese made wheels. Polycarbonate is the same material used in the making of bullet-proof glass and is both durable and so flexible that, when under stress, it flexes to absorb the impact, then flexes back to its original shape.

One of the few hard-sided luggage types that can expand for up to 25% more space, this luggage also offers wheels that allow for such fluid motion that it will seem the luggage is gliding on its own power. For easy packing and storing, this luggage also features a push-button telescopic handle system and a fully-lined interior with a divider. Now that airlines are becoming more restrictive on allowable weight, this lightweight luggage set is the best choice for allowing you to pack everything you need.

The Flexibility of the CompuEZ increases the durability of this luggage. High quality, flexible plastics are used so that the outer shell can flex to absorb the force of the impact and thus preventing any cracking. The shell then flexes back to its original shape. The CompuEZ can be pushed or pulled on two wheels as well as being moved on 4. In addition, Heys 4WD® luggage is manufactured with built-in TSA lock to allow security personnel to inspect and re-lock your luggage if necessary without having to break your lock.

Check out these specifications!

4 wheel Spinner luggage Set
