Post-Post-Christmas: The Best Deals This Weekend
- <p>
<strong>Costco</strong> offers a bunch of <a href="http://click.online.costco.com/dm?id=97697279160A713C52FA61A6B890CA3A55D4898BCCC40632" target="_blank">online-only deals</a> that last through Jan. 27. The list includes big discounts on washer/dryers, fitness equipment, furniture and $10 off select TurboTax software.</p>

<strong>Redbox</strong> is rolling out the beta test of <a href="http://www.redbox.com/instant?icamp=rbxinst:navtag:12:18:1200" target="_blank">Redbox Instant</a>, a new streaming service meant to compete with Netflix, and it's willing to offer a free one-month trial to get you on board. Note that you'll have to hand over a working credit card at the outset, which will be charged at the end of the trial if you don't cancel first. The normal monthly subscription cost is $8, and you get unlimited monthly streaming and four free (one-night) DVD rentals per month. Note that it's invite-only, so you'll need to put in your email address and then wait for an invite.</p>

<strong>OfficeMax</strong> offers 20% off "everything" in its store when you download the in-store coupon from <a href="http://www.officemax.com/" target="_blank">the website</a>. That's what the subject line said, anyway. Once I opened the email, I found a big asterisk and a block of fine print longer than the Gettysburg Address. Excluded from the deal are pretty much all electronic items and document-printing services, so don't walk in there hoping to get a camcorder or e-reader cheap. You can get the discount online by using the code SAVE20. The deal is good through Saturday, Jan. 5.</p>

<strong>Sierra Trading Post</strong> offers 35% when you use the coupon code EB010113A on <a href="http://www.sierratradingpost.com/" target="_blank">its website</a>. (Thanks you, Slickdeals, for this tip). Some exclusions may apply -- apparently it doesn't work on clearance items -- and you'll have to pay for shipping.</p>
