Buy 2 Get 1 FREE on Duracell Batteries (Single Use, Rechargeables)
The Weekly Ad for the Office Depot (including Office Max) stores for the week of Sunday 3/6/16 until the end of day on Saturday 3/12/16 includes a “Buy 2 Get 1 FREE” promotion on all Duracell batteries available in-store. This includes single-use batteries, rechargeable batteries, and charger kits. Here’s the screenshot from their Weekly Ad:
I don’t know if the sale will also be live on their website, but if it is, the promotion should appear at some point on Sunday on Duracell Product listings.
As usual, price check any items of interest, as the B2G1 price may still not “defeat” sale prices at other retailers or other times. This is a straight up sale, no coupons, no rebates, no rewards. You just pay the sale price and you are done!
Refurbished Nikon Coolpix L32 (AA powered) for $49 w/free S&H
More eBay action, this time on the manufacturer refurbished front. Once upon a time AA-powered batteries were the majority, but that’s no longer the case. However, companies still make AA-powered cameras, and one such is the subject of this. It is the red manufacturer refurbished Nikon Coolipx L32 compact P&S digital camera (powered by two AAs) offered for $49 with free shipping by BuyDig’s eBay Store with a 90 day Nikon USA warranty. Limit five per customer.
PS: depending on your screen’s colors and calibration and brightness setting, a giant blinding red camera body may fill your screen when you go over there 🙂
Imported No-Warranty Canon 18-135mm IS STM for $229
Back to the eBay Deals, for the more adventurous shoppers, there is a white-box imported grey-market lens without any warranty, it is offered by Get It Digital’s eBay store (99.6%). Ooops, the lens, the lens is the new condition Canon 18-135mm f3.5-5.6 IS STM going for $229 with free shipping with a limit of five per customer.
White box usually means it was part of a kit, but sold separately. If I put on my Miss Maple hat, this is probably how it came to be: they import Canon APS-C DSLRs with 18-135mm kits. Then they remove the lenses from the DSLR boxes, and sell the DSLRs as body-onlies on their own (“onlies” is plural of “only”), and the Lenses on their own.
So that’s why the price is so much lower, it’s an imported item without a warranty. Over 1300 units got sold so far, so there are a lot of people willing to take the risk, but again, don’t decide based on price alone. If the thought of potential future problems with lenses without warranty keeps you up at night, mayhaps it’s not worth the extra stress. We blog, you decide!
eBay Semi-Curated Canon Sale (133 items)
eBay is having another semi-curated sale (I don’t know how much they pick by hand and how much by computer, so I’m splitting the distance with the semi), this time they feature 133 items that comprised a Canon Sales Event. Due to time constraints I cannot go through the 133 items and price-check them, so this is a DIY adventure if interested. You can filter them a bit using the various options below the big banner picture over there.
Canon D-Rebel T5i with 18-55 IS STM and Pixma PRO 100 and 50pk 13×19″ paper for $400 after $350 MIR (prepaid AMEX GC)
Also bubbling among the featured eBay Deals is a more complicated offer from BuyDig’s eBay store. This one is a Canon-Pixma-MIR-AMEX offer, a mail-in rebate bundle with a $350 prepaid American Express Gift Card. This is a Canon D-Rebel T5i with 18-55 IS STM bundle that also includes the PIXMA PRO 100 printer and its accompanying 50pk of 13×19″ Canon photo paper (the razor/cartridges strategy). You pay $750, receive the order, make sure all is well, submit the mail-in rebates following instructions and deadlines, and a few weeks later you receive a $350 prepaid American Express Gift Card if all is well, making it a $400 after MIR promotion, and this a nominee for a runaway sentence 🙂
Sigma 18-250mm f3.5-6.3 DC OS for $219 (Canon only)

YMMV Amazon Gift Card Reload Bonus: Get $5 Bonus on $100+ Load
This is a YMMV promotion since only some Amazon shoppers qualify. This may be a rotating promotion where it is offered to only a percentage of people at a time, or perhaps the offer is determined by their purchase history. I have no idea how they decide it. The current promotion is a $5 bonus if you load/reload $100 or more as an Amazon Gift Card Balance on your account. To find out if you are eligible, you have to be logged on to your Amazon account, and visit the Gift Card Balance reload page.
NOTE this sets up an on-going reload triggered by a specific account low balance. If you don’t want this to continue in the future, you have to turn it off manually (it is easy to do using your Amazon account page).
You can load this with credit and debit cards but also with prepaid gift cards. So if you have random leftovers of various gift cards you got from rebates, work, gifts, friends and family, you can just load them up to your Amazon account instead of trying to remember how much is left on each card.
Strategically a gift card balance is handy to use as a reserve for small purchases, eg mp3 songs, ebooks, TV episodes, apps, low priced items, movie rentals, etc ~ if you don’t want your credit card statement filled up with small amount transactions.
I am not eligible for this iteration of this promotion, so I get this message (annotated screenshot crop):
If you are not logged to an Amazon.com account when you visit that page, you will see this message (annotated screenshot crop):
