Promo Code: Warbird

I hope you had a chance to catch the Grinch on television last night. With Christmas in a few weeks, I guess it’s time to start some Christmas shopping.

First thing on the list is a brand new set of Callaway Diablo Edge irons for all the golfers in the family. I have had my eyes on this set for a long time. Ever since August when Callaway dropped its prices from $699 to $499 and more recently, $299. The irons hit solid and they are a good looking set too. When you put it next to the Callaway Diablo Edge Hybrids, the set looks devilish hot.

Hoping to find the set on sale at Golf Town, even a promo code wouldn’t get the price down deep enough for me to take a set. I tried talking to the manager there to see if I can get a discount off three sets, a ladies flex, a men’s regular flex and a young man’s stiff flex and the best they can do was $368 per set. With gst, it would come out to a little less than $400.

Checking with my friends on the green, a 6-piece set is worth $219.99. Shipping to Canada is about $44 and customs will probably charge me gst which comes out to $10-$15 tops. The whole set will land here for about $280 which gives me a saving of about $100 – $120 per set. On top of that, they’ll throw in a box of Warbird balls for free worth $22. I can wrap that up and give it to my coworker. Just be sure to apply Warbird as the promo code to get the free box of balls.

Save $100 promo code

It’s -21 celsius outside right now so I’m staying in and shopping from my chair. A friend of mine has asked me to look around for an electric remote control golf cart. She’s getting up there and is finding it hard to push a bag of heavy clubs up those hills at McCall Lake in Calgary. I’ve seen this carts in action and can’t say I’m impressed about them. The ones I’ve seen are bulky and slow moving. When they run out of juice, they are impossible to push around. You would think the battery should release and the cart becomes pushable. Instead the gears lock up and the cart fails to roll.

I noticed a sale on the Bat Caddy XR3 cart. Its regular price is $995 and it is on sale for $694. With a promo code of ‘100off’, you save $100 right off the bat (no pun intended). And you can have it shipped for free too. Order it now and have it delivered before Christmas.

You can buy something else if you don’t need a cart but for my friend, this is the perfect Christmas gift. The Bat Caddy XR3 is both electric and remote. It can respond to its remote from 120 yards. It runs at 5.4 mph and it goes backwards and forwards. The charging time is 4 to 6 hours and it can follow you for up to 27 holes before it runs out of juice. When and if it does, you can release it and push it like a regular cart.

This weekend, go golf shopping at Getting on the Green. Stay warm.

 

Promo Code for Free Fairway Wood

Just in, get a free Ladies’ Callaway X-Series Fairway wood from Getting on the Green if you order something before midnight tonight. The best thing is that there is no price limit which means that you can order a golf glove ($3.99) and be done with it. The club they are offering is brand new and it comes with its own head cover too. The original price of the club is over $249, so when they are giving it away for free, you can say they are generous. I have to admit, the Callaway X-Series fairway woods are an older model but as a stocking stuffer or an extra wood in the bag, who cares? It’s free.

By the way, the promo code is ‘Callaway’.

Stocks are down but you’re not

Today’s stock market was down because there is no consumer confidence on spending. Hmmm, I guess it doesn’t include me as I have been shopping online since January. I think this is a buyer’s market. Everyone in the right mind is saving their money except moi who is buying up things – anything that is a good deal!

Today I bought myself a pair of shoes and bought my wife one too. Have you ever heard about Teva? If you shop at REI or some mountain store, you will most likely see brands like Merrell, Keen and Teva. Like all these recreational shoes, Teva can be quite pricey. But I did say this is a buyer’s market so here’s the deal. Click here and take a look at what is on sale at Teva. Believe it or not, they are selling some cool shoes as low as $19.90.

Shipping is $5.95 per shoe but if you sign up to receive their emails, they will send you a code that you can use (instantly) to get free shipping.

Eyeing it

They say when a recession hits, people flock to movie theatres. With the release of James Bond and the highly anticipated next installment of Harry Potter, I don’t think there will be a lack of people in line. Both Cineplex and Empire theatres offer gift cards that you can pick up from your local drugstore such as Rexall. But if you want to buy discount movie tickets, you will have to buy them from BCAA or AMA (in Alberta) or if you work for a large corporation (eg. Encana), check with your social club for discount tickets. Tickets can go as low as $8 for an adult admission.

For the gadget lovers, try the iTheatre wireless eyewear for $139.95. Plug it into your iPod or dvd player then put on a pair of  iTheatre eyewear to enjoy a 50″ virtual viewing screen. It almost feels like you are sitting in a theatre with a wraparound screen. It is so cool. You are totally immersed in the picture as though you are right in the movie.

Imagine plugging it into your Wii and playing a game like Mario Kart. I did and I felt like I was on the track with Bowser and Luigi, racing around Sherbet Land in real life. It was bizarre but incredibly fun. With Tiger Woods PGA Tour, I felt I was really playing Pebble Beach. And with Rapala Fishing, I was on the lake, fishing for bass.

If you are interested in getting a pair, I can help you get it for under $120. Check with us for the special coupon code to use.

Keen on Deals

If you wear size 7 or 9 then you are in luck. Luckily for me, my foot was small yesterday as I picked up a few Keen sandals and shoes for cheap. How cheap? Almost 50%-60% off retail prices. I found a Newport style for $50 that normally sells for US$80. Also at $50 was the Jasper style shoe that normally goes for US$95. There were about 4 shelves full of Keen shoes, ranging from sandals to hiking shoes, some men’s and some ladies’ but were all size 7 or 9. My favorite pair of sandals is the Newport H2’s. They had a navy blue pair for $55 which is a great price considering that you can easily pay more than US$95 a pair.  

They also had Keen bags and knapsacks. For knapsacks, they had daypacks which are great for school or for a day tour. My favorite was a style called Burnside where a zipper along the side would reveal a compartment to hold your laptop in. Nice ample shoulder straps let you carry the bag comfortably on your shoulders or if you wish, you can carry it like a normal bag, there is a fabric handle on the side. A small mesh pocket to hold your keys, earbuds (or makeup) is hidden by the top flap, reached by unzipping the zipper on the top. The bag normally sells for US$95 but was on sale for $55.

On another floor, there was a clearance of ski wear. Everything for the snowboarder can be found here including Kombi undergarments, toques, face masks, hoodies, gloves, performance fleece and more. Rip Curl knapsacks for $30 and Australian snowboards for $300 were at hand too.  Toques were clearing at 2-for-$10, a great stocking stuffer. Roots golf shirts were selling for $30 or less. And a bargain rack of various shirts and sizes in the hallway for $5. Opposite the hallway cashier was a room clearing shoes of all types, mostly sample sizes that range from 6 to 9. I managed to pick up a pair of Bite golf shoes for $30 that I have seen at Golf Town for $60 or more. LPGA visors went for $2 and golf spikes for $4. 

If you’re interested in checking this out, drop by the Manchester Building at 339 – 50th Ave SE today before 3:00pm.

Going Out of Business

If you’re a store owner and you are going out of business then slash your prices. The latest chain to go down the tubes is Linens & Things in Calgary but since announcing this news, they have only discounted their goods by 10%. That’s hardly a ‘going out of business’ or ‘final sale’. They have to do better than that, or else they are going to be there for some time.

Need a car? Budget just announced a sale on their cars until Sunday. Use coupon: U113700 and pay $149 per week for a compact.

Need a Wii game? Visit your local Wal-Mart for a whole slew of discounted Wii games such as Wii Star Wars, Nameco Museum Remix, Gameparty, CSI, Cars2, MonkeyBall, Emergency Heroes, Spiderman III, Ratatouille, MLB Power Pros, Jumper and many, many more. All for under $20.

Also for under $40, get Gucci, Dior, Fendi glasses at ClearlyContacts.
