There are a couple of decent deals today on stuff of interest to the homecookin’ fitness crowd that I thought I’d share.

If you are in the market for a blender (for those many protein shakes and smoothies you consume as a dutiful health-conscious fitness fanatic), or a toaster oven to broil your many servings of chicken breast, Linen N’ Things has some Black and Decker brand appliances available for, get this–$3.99 plus tax after rebate and 20% off single item coupon code. Besides the blender and toaster oven, they also offer a coffee maker and an iron for the same deal.

Each appliance is $29.99 - $6.00 (20% off coupon code 881000000005) - $20 mail-in rebate = $3.99 + tax

Make sure you choose in-store pick-up to avoid the shipping costs. Items must be purchased by July 17, 2005 to qualify. The 20% off code is only good on one item, so if you want more than one of the gadgets, place multiple orders to get the max discounts. :misch:

Go through www.ebates.com to get an additional 3% kickback or www.igive.com to donate 2% from the purchase to a charity of your choice.

Amazon.com also has two so-so deals. The Farberware Nonstick 6-Piece Bakeware Set I got a few months ago (and LOVE, BTW) is on sale for $13.98 today only, and there’s a wacky promotion on Kashi products through July 31, 2005, too. You get a $10 promotional code good for a future Amazon.com purchase if you spend $29 on Kashi products sold through Amazon.com. They are charging $2.89 a box for GoLean and GoLean Crunch, so if you pick up say, eleven boxes, your final price is around $1.98 a box. This is only mediocre in my opinion since Kashi periodically goes on sale at my regular grocery store for $2.00 a box, but some of you in more expensive areas might want to stock up.
