External Hard Drive Sale at Amazon (UPDATE: Also at JR.com)

External hard drives are very handy for parents. Digital photos and videos of the kids take up an incredible amount of disk space. You need to back up those memories or you will not be pleased.

Luckily technology is pretty cheap these days. Even so, a sale on something useful for parents, like external hard drives, is always welcome. Check out these hard drive deals at Amazon.com. Buy two. Just in case.

UPDATE: Roger Sinasohn tells us via Facebook that Fry’s has 2TB drives for $89 in store. California folks, take note.

UPDATE 2: He also points out that JR.com has the Western Digital Elements 1.5 TB USB 2.0 External Hard Drive for $89, and a 2TB version for $99. Thanks for the tip!

Here are links to both drives at JR.com. I had a horrible experience at their store once in person (many years ago), but have never had any issues buying from them online.

1GB SpongeBob Media Player Only 15 Bucks

Memorex SpongeBob Square Pants 1GB Digital Media Player w/ 2.2 QVGA Color Screen with Image Viewer, NMP4075-SBS-Refurbished

You love music. You love video. You love SpongeBob.

Wait, let’s try that again.

Your CHILDREN love music. Your CHILDREN love video. Your CHILDREN love SpongeBob. And because you love your children, you tolerate their love of that weird little yellow water creature.

So, being a good parent, you will buy them a SpongeBob Media Player. It’s only $14.99. Yes, it’s refurbished. But look at it this way. No matter what you buy for your child, they will probably break it. This is way cheaper than an iPod, and they’ll think it’s more special because it has SpongeBob on it. Heck, buy two. It even has games on it (I’m guessing something like “Squidward Invaders”; I just made that up, so don’t blame me if it’s something else) and can act as a USB Mass Storage Device, which is more than I can say for an iPod. (Take that, Steve Jobs.)

Only $14.99 at Buy.com. Here are the specs and links to make your purchase.

Discount at The Shelving Store

As any stay at home dad knows, you sometimes develop womanly tendencies. I don’t mean breasts, although, hey, it could happen. I mean getting excited about things that you never knew existed. Things like a sale at The Shelving Store.

It goes something like this:

“A sale at The Shelving Store? Well we need more shelves in Johnny’s closet. If I had more shelves I could organize his closet much more efficiently. So a sale? On SHELVING? Is this my lucky day or what?”

Definitely “or what.” If you’ll excuse me, I need to go visit a strip club and then shoot a wild animal. Right after I place my order for new shelves. Family first.

Free Shipping at The Shelving Store

Who doesn’t need shelving?

The free shipping offer is for Mother’s Day. Personally, we do not recommend buying your mother shelves, even if they are very nice shelves. The deal is good, though. Buy some of these and install them for mom, maybe, while also getting her something else.

Free Shipping Offer – good on orders above $199.

If you’re not ordering that much, try this 5% off discount:
