Greg In The Desert

Smarthome is having a black friday sale. Typically they have a percentage off sale before the end of the year, I don’t know if this will replace it or not.

Smarthome has a number of Insteon products for sale and using the checkout code EKITS will get you free shipping.

I am interested in the 2412U Insteon PowerLinc USB Modem to replace my 2412U. Is supposed to work faster with Indigo (19.8k baud rate on the 2414 vs. 4.8k on the 2412).

The sale ends 30 November 2009.

I looked at Amazon for buying bulk dry goods like rice and beans. I found this single package of S&W Gourmet Grains 100% Organic Extra Long Grain Brown Rice for $1.92. Not bad of a price until shipping is added at $6.40.

Generally I find that when Amazon directly sells something its the cheapest price I can find especially when it includes free shipping (groceries my be an exception). This brown rice is being sold by a third party.

Who buys this stuff with this kind of shipping?

I like Lighting By Gregory, not just because they share a similar name to me. They can be a little expensive which is why I offer some coupon codes. By using one of these links you help me get the dam bathroom project completed faster. They also offer free shipping via UPS and FedEx.

$10 off $150. Use Coupon Code LBG10.

$25 off $250. Use Coupon Code LBG25.

$45 off $450. Use Coupon Code LBG45.

$55 off $500. Use Coupon Code LBG55.

$35 off $350. Use Coupon Code LBG35.

Manufacturers not included are Vibia, Estiluz, Casablanca, Flos, Kichler, Minka Aire, Mihnka Lavery, and lightolier.

Smarthome is having a 10% off Insteon products until 1/24/2008. Not the best deal ever but they aren’t having as many of these as they used to so this might be the best deal for a while.

They also have free shipping if you order $200 or more.

p>It’s has been a long time since Smarthome has had a decent sale. They are offering 15% off $100 minimum purchase and free shipping if you purchase over $200. Use promo code E15OFF08 at checkout.

Offer ends 11/03/08 at midnight.

Amazon’s new Subscribe & Save beta sounds like a terrific idea. It would save me a trip to the warehouse club for less interesting things.

Our new Subscribe & Save program is a great way to save an extra 15% on items you use routinely–coffee, shampoo, laundry detergent, and more–while helping to make sure you don’t run out. Benefits include:

• A delivery schedule that fits your needs–every one, two, three, or six months
• Extra 15% discounts on our everyday price, whether you subscribe for a single month or for years
• Free shipping on every order
• E-mail reminders of upcoming shipments
• The flexibility to change your schedule or cancel at any time–no risks, no fees

I’ve started using Amazon’s grocery service over the last 6 months and have liked it so far. This seems like a great extension.

Another sale from Smarthome. 10% off stuff they have marked as “Hot Deals” . Use coupon code ESPRING07 on check out, good till 2 March. Also free shipping till on $150 or more till 1 March. Not all of the Insteon stuff is included. I’m buying a few things in this sale.

• Keypad Dimmer INSTEON Starter Kit. A KeypadLinc, two SwitchLincs and two SignalLincs. Price for this stuff separate would be $239.99, they have it listed for $159.99 before discounts.
• Icon Appliance On/Off Module. Listed at $24.99, normally $34.99.

I wish they had some Icon On/Off Switches included, guess I will have to wait for anther sale. They have some other Insteon stuff like the Plug-In Dimmer INSTEON Starter Kit, Kitchen Lighting Starter Kit and the Icon Lamp Dimmer.

You really can’t beat this deal if you were planning on buying some Insteon gear. I just purchased the remaining switches I needed for my house, 3 Switchlincs and 1 Keypadlinc for about $150, which saved me about $40. They are not only offering a 12% discount, but free shipping over $150.
