Bargain of the Week
Free Jar of Pasta Sauce
If you're lucky, a store near you may carry Fody brand pasta sauce, and with this coupon you can get a free jar. Use the store locator to find which stores in your area carry the brand. Then, use that store's website to see if they carry Fody pasta sauce. Sprouts stores and Whole Foods in FL, CT, NJ, and NY do. Some other chains do as well. Thanks to Dan K. for this bargain tip.
Samsung Internal SSD Hard Drive - $79.99
Best Buy is offering a refurbished 1-TB internal SATA solid state hard drive (SSD model 860 EVO) or even better the newer Samsung 870 EVO for an unheard of $79.99 (less than the $89 or $99 MrConsumer paid a year ago)! It will bring your old computer with its mechanical hard drive back to life -- running much faster. There is only a 90-day warranty on these drives, but when MrConsumer registered his last year, he seemingly got the full five-year Samsung warranty. If you are not technically savvy, you will need someone to copy your current hard drive to this one, and then swap them inside your PC.
