Happy hour choices

So many bars. So many choices.

A Web site called unthirsty.com mentioned in today's Live! section of the News & Record helps you pick, for example, watering holes with happy hours in any U.S. city.

"Why it’s worth a click: Type in any U.S. city to instantly find watering holes with a happy hour," according to News & Record features writer Katie Reetz. "The best part: Filter out results to suit your taste. Looking for a patio? Done. Food specials? OK. Chatty singles? Sorry, can’t help ya there."

Good times.

Harris Teeter has a buy 1, get 1 free deal on Healthy Choice frozen dinners (regular $2.19 each).

The "beef tips portobello" is pretty tasty.

MP3 player deal

Sears has a 1 GB portable music player for $25. Not bad when you consider Apple's 1 GB shuffle costs more than three times that amount.

Not a nuisance-free deal though - you pay $40 up front because there's a $15 mail-in rebate.

The fall continues

Regarding prices on those new flat-screen TVs, that is. DealsPlus notes you can get a 52-inch Zenith 720 p for $900, just in time for the playoffs and the big game in a few weeks.

My New Year's resolution, by the way, is to get a new flat screen (forget those boring, same 'ole resolutions about losing weight, quitting the crack pipe, blah blah blah).

Get a pen or pencil, write this down, and stick it on the fridge: Flat screens are for winners. Don't be a loser in '07.

The more you know (cue in the NBC jingle).

A cut above the rest

Great Clips has a special going on right now on haircuts: $5.99.

Adjusted for inflation, I bet that's pretty darn good compared to Floyd's going rate back in the day.

Update: Michelle Jarboe tells me it's a chain-wide sale that ends Jan. 31.

Gaming chair

According to DealsPlus, Circuit City has a video game chair on sale for $30 (regular $50). Free shipping.

Described this way: "Egonomically (sic) molded foam with polyester upholstry means lasting comfort and durability."

Whatever. I need to know if I'll be able to kill this RAAM thing easier. Good grief. It just won't die.

Say goodbye to jumper cables

Battery dead? Instead of waiting for someone to give you a jump, you might want to check out a battery booster, so says blog.spendfish.com.

You simply plug it into your cigarette lighter and wait a few minutes.

Amazon.com has a Black & Decker version on sale for $53 including free shipping.
