Update: Sorry to say that this deal is invalid. Apparently Epson never meant for this promo code to be released to the general public. My apologies for the confusion.

At the risk of sounding like a broken record, if you wait for the Cheapskate newsletter to arrive in your inbox, it may be too late: the deal of the day might be over or sold out. I know this can be frustrating, but it's beyond my control. As always, your best bet is to visit the site in the morning, typically around 9-10 a.m. ET.

I mention that … Read more

The Canon Pixma MG5320 is a worthwhile photo printer for families and work groups, and you get plenty of new features like HD Movie Print, fun photo filters, and Pixma Cloud Link that can provide new ways to bring your digital photos to life.

It's also a thinner shape that we're used to seeing from Canon, and foldable paper output trays reduce the overall footprint, so it's convenient for offices that don't have a lot of work space. The top of the printer has a 3-inch LCD display with a scroll dial for surfing the different application menus, and you also get 150-sheet paper input trays on the front and back of the unit--this is specifically convenient for amateur photographers because you can store standard 8.5x11-inch sheets in the bottom drawer and save the top one for photo paper. … Read more

This will almost certainly sell out, but it was in stock as of 10:30 a.m. ET.

Regular Cheapskate readers know of my weird affection for multifunction printers, especially those of the Wi-Fi variety. There's just something magical about scanned and printed documents traveling wirelessly between PC and printer.

You'd think that kind of magic would cost a small fortune, but nuh-uh: Canon has the refurbished Pixma MX340 Wireless multifunction printer for $39.99 shipped.

This is a compact, entry-level model, one best suited to homes and very small offices. It prints (in color, of course) at … Read more

Over the years I've shared a variety of DVD rippers, but most of them were designed to copy your movies to other formats: iPod, Android phone, MPEG-4, and so on.

Digiarty Software's new WinX DVD Copy Pro was built for DVD backups. It can clone a disc, turn it into an ISO image file, or convert it to MPEG-2.

The program normally costs $35.95, but today only, you can get WinX DVD Copy Pro absolutely free.

The software comes courtesy of Giveaway of the Day, a great source for freebies like this one. There are no strings … Read more

I didn't think I could love a printer. I mean, sure, I thought I might like the Epson WorkForce 840, what with its speedy printing, copying, scanning, and faxing and all.

But then, during my review, I kept discovering surprising and unexpected features. It has a 7.8-inch touch-screen interface? Two paper trays with a combined capacity of 500 sheets? 802.11n Wi-Fi?

Already, that's mighty impressive for a multifunction printer Epson has on sale for $179.99 shipped (after applying coupon code WELCOME9F at checkout). The list price on this model is $299.99.

So, yeah, I … Read more

DVDs may be on the way out, but for now they're still a pretty big part of movie-watching life. Just one problem: they're incredibly prone to scratches, and a scratched DVD is a non-playing DVD.

That's why I sometimes like to make copies of the movies I own, just to have a backup. I'm also a fan of copying DVDs to my media-center hard drive for faster, easier viewing.

Alas, good, reliable copy utilities tend to be pricey. But today only, Giveaway of the Day has DVDFab DVD Copy absolutely free. The app is normally $50, … Read more

This is just nuts.

Wal-Mart has the HP Deskjet 1050 all-in-one printer for $20 shipped (plus sales tax in most states). Yes, the ink costs more than the printer. Yes, it comes without a USB cable. Should you buy one anyway? Yes!

Update: Sold out!

(Interestingly, Wal-Mart offered this same deal as a Black Friday doorbuster, which further reinforces my belief that Black Friday is a lot of hooey.)

As you may recall, it was just last week that I mentioned a Canon Pixma photo printer for $23 (now expired). That was just a printer. The Deskjet 1050 also scans … Read more

I've said it before and I'll say it again (and, most likely, again after that): I'll never buy another printer that doesn't have Wi-Fi. I mean, come on. Cables? Really? This is the 21st century, people. Next you'll be telling me I have to use a cable to sync my iPhone. (Wait a minute...)

Today only, Epson has the refurbished WorkForce 610 All-in-One Printer for $43 shipped (when you use coupon code review12, otherwise it is $49). This is an office-caliber multifunction that sold for $200 when it debuted earlier this year.

The WorkForce prints, … Read more

Still using a USB cable to connect your printer to your PC? Hey, the 20th century called, and it wants its technology back!

Today only, Best Buy outlet store CowBoom has the HP Photosmart C6380 wireless multifunction printer for $39.99 (plus $5 for shipping). Amazingly, this unit is new, not refurbished, so it carries a full one-year warranty.

Update: Apologies, folks, looks like this is already sold out. But keep checking: CowBoom often adds extra stock through the day.

This is without question one of the best deals I've seen on an MFP--not just because of the price, … Read more
