      As someone pointed out in Talk Back, several titles are out of stock. You'll know only when you pick "Add to cart." Lousy way of doing it, but a few decent titles were left when I randomly picked some.

    Looks like they're clearing things out. A TON of decent titles at only $10, with shipping starting at $5.

    UPDATE: Life: Century in Pictures is back in stock! Search for "pictures" to find it for only $10.

    Free shipping on any two books isn't much of a deal. But since it also applies to their Bargain Books section, it suddenly becomes one. Get two nice hardcover books for under $15, or get one and use some cheap paperback as a second item. Decent Paperbacks are mostly only $4.

    Books I've read and enjoyed:
    Into Thin Air (Amazing firsthand story of Everest disaster) - $7
    Pop Goes the Weasel (Patterson) - $7
    Black Friday (Patterson) - $7
    Magic With Cards - $6

    Also: Bridget Jones II - $6

    Why are printers so cheap these days? Because they follow the same theory as razor companies...sell the unit for a low price (razor/printer) and then make money on the refills (blades/ink cartridges).

    These days you can get quality refills online from reputable companies. I needed some for my printers at home so I went out searching. 123InkJets.com is currently offering shipping for only $2 on all orders. 100% Satisfaction Guarantee. Use coupon code 6437 to save 10%. Skim them for your printer's exact needs, but here are some sample prices from their Top Sellers lists:

    Canon: BCI-21 Black $4.25 / BCI-21 Color $5
    Epson: S020187 Black $7 / S020191 Color $9

    Amazon has this Polaroid Spectra 1200i Camera for $30 (70% off). Film might look a little pricey ($25 for two packs), but compare it to regular developing. My dad sells insurance, so I was given a Polaroid for my car trunk. It's great for quick photos of accident scenes in case you need proof in court (I did, and the photo won my case). If you grab the film, don't forget to use code CHNKBKAMZNFT to get you $5 off $35.
