Just wondering if you guys can find anything that's really cheap for those $99.95 items that need $0.05 to get over $100 so I can use the coupons...

The cheapest thing I could find is a 3 pack of tennis balls which was $1.89 I think...anything cheaper? =)

Hi chuonthis,

Welcome to AnandTech. I know you are new to our forums, so I wanted to let you that in Hot Deals, new threads are for posting the deals you have found. Please post your comments in the appropriate moderator sponsored thread:

~~~~ IWANNA ~~~~ to ask for hot deals on the items you want.
~~~~ How Do I ~~~~ to ask how to price match, etc.
~~~~ Brag & Moan ~~~~ to rave about your great experience or complain about how badly you were treated.

I hope you find the deals you want. While you are at it, you might want to visit some of our sixteen other forums devoted to computers. You can find out how to get the most from your machine or just how to solve some problem you have been having.

Thank you,

$1 bookmark although shipping is $4.20 LMAO.

You may want to buy a cheap music CD or a DVD movie or some CD-Rs or Zip disks, how about a cheap USB cable?

Or wait until their next free shipping promo which may be in 2-3 weeks.

buy.com charges crazy shipping charges on cheap items so you can really only do this on a free shipping day, otherwise it is almost not worth it!

If you add a one dollar item to a $149 Buy.com order, the shipping doesn't go up at all, or maybe a tiny amount. Buy.com has always been very reasonable on shipping. You have to remember that about the cheapest UPS rate these days is around $5. So if you buy something for less than $5, shipping is going to kill you. The last couple of Buy.com free shipping days were limited to things over $50, so waiting to buy cheap items with free shipping won't work at Buy.com.

BTW, I got a $4.95 APC surge suppressor to get my $148 order over $150. I don't like ordering five cent or two dollar items to break over the total.
