Nike Dunk DealsNike Dunk Deals

Discount: Up to 44% off
Shipping: Free shipping w/ $50 for members

Dunk n' Go Nuts. That's my suggestion for a marketing campaign for these shoes. Although actually that's probably pretty similar to an existing trademark. Better idea: what better logo for a sub-brand called "Dunk" than an iconic silhouette of a basketball player about to smash the ball in for two poin—ah beans, that's probably been done(k) too. Maybe just reduce the prices by up to 44%. Then they'll sell themselves.

According to Etymonline, the best website not named DealNews dot com, the word "barbecue" has its roots in the American Spanish "barbacoa" — "a framework of sticks set upon posts". Smartly, they changed it enough that it could be shortened to BBQ, one of the most brilliant abbreviations in history. Then, a few hundreds years later, people started using the word to refer to the actual grill upon which you do the BBQing. Not the BBcoaing, because that's way too awkward to say. I said all this to a Lowe's sales associate whilst browsing their discounted grills and outdoor cooking deals, and they just looked at me and asked if I could leave the store please.



LEGO Classic Large Creative Brick BoxLEGO Classic Large Creative Brick Box
Store: Amazon
Price: $26
Shipping: Free shipping

This is the type of thing that would have old Brickster drooling uncontrollably at the prospect of all the fruitful thievery he could pull off and the consequential 790 pieces of LEGO he'd then have in his possession. Of course being the criminal scum he is the fact that this LEGO Classic Large Creative Brick Box is 57% off and available for the best price ever owing to Amazon's generosity, is completely irrelevant. But! For the good law abiding amongst us, it's a lovely bit of dealery.

Supposedly, when quitting the Friars Club of Beverly Hills, Groucho Marx wrote "I don't want to belong to any club that would accept me as one of its members". Here's the advantage Sam's Club has over the Friars Club: discounts. Groucho presumably didn't lose access to a Friars Club clearance sale when he turned in his member's card, and so didn't miss out on over 100 discounts on apparel, snacks, toys, rugs, and more. More like Cryer's Club.



Men's Suit Clearance Deals at Macy'sMen's Suit Clearance Deals at Macy's
Store: Macy's
Discount: Up to 80% off
Shipping: Free shiping w/ $25

Suits will never go out of style, just like deals. Thus, Macy's discounting of stylish suitware is an appropriately excellent concept. That swanky fella over there to the right? He's wearing the Calvin Klein Men's Slim-Fit Wool Infinite Stretch Suit Jacket, available for $135 ($315 off). Regrettably, none of the suits here come bundled with a top hat but Macy's do sell them separately, should you dare. Or! Even more daringly, a flat cap, to really nail that formal farmercore look.

Wow, it's none other than DealNews' own A. Byrne wearing his trademark flattened cap. Could it really have been anyone else?
