Get a free pack of 10 DVD-R’s from Office Depot.  Usually it costs around $8 for 10 discs.   It’s great to use for storage of your music and other files.  Office Depot is your one stop shop for all your office needs.

I can’t wait to get my free pack of dvd-r from office depot.  I just have to print out the email and take it down to my nearest Office Depot.  I usually get my dvd-r from costco and they cost around $35 for 100 discs.  I use dvd-r to transfer data from my sony viao to my macbook.

 Planning your summer travel?  Expensive GPS systems are great, but old-fashioned maps will get you there a lot cheaper.  DHL even beats cheap, by offering a free road atlas.  This is a nice Rand McNally Road Atlas with 80 pages of maps, a comprehensive index, phone numbers to know, and a useful trip planner.

I went on a trip to California this past March to visit my family.  My family wanted to use a Magellan Maestro from Costco, but we decided to use just a map from the car rental company.  The first morning, we were driving to my uncle’s house and almost got lost, but we found it.

Sears has some fantastic clearance prices on its well-respected Craftsman tools and companion tools.  Is that a Mother’s Day gift?  Well, maybe if you have a handy type of mom.  Otherwise, you could get a jump on Father’s Day – or treat yourself.

This 60 pc. Tool Set comes with a Utility Bag to store the tools.  It was $29.99, now only $19.88. The set includes:
1Pc. Tape Measure 3/4"x16ft., 2Pc. Screwdriver (-)1/4×4,(+)#2×4, 1Pc. 6" Slip Joint Pliers, 1Pc. 6" Long Nose Pliers, 1Pc. 8" Adjustable Wrench, 1Pc. 10oz. Claw Hammer, 1Pc. Utility Knife, 1Pc. 9" Torpedo Level, 1Pc. Bit Driver Handle, 30Pc. Bits w/ Box, 18 Pc. 1/4 Dr. Sockets: 3/16, 7/32, 1/4, 9/32, 5/16, 11/32, 3/8, 7/16, 1/2 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12; 1Pc. 1/4 Dr. Ratchet Handle, 1Pc. Hex Coupler.

Note the cheaper tools are Sears companion tools, which means they are lower quality tools which for most people is fine.  If you use tools often I recommend getting the quality Craftsman brand.

I love my craftman tools from Sears.  Since Kmart bought Sears, I see their tools at Kmart as well.  They are better made than any other tools, I have owned before.  I heard their guarantee on craftman tools is better than costco return policy.  It’s worth the money to invest in good tools.
