Each month Amazon offers 100 full album downloads for only $5. If you like a particular artist or enjoy more than 5 songs on a single album, this is significantly cheaper than downloading them song-by-song or paying for the full album on iTunes.

Here are just a few of the participating titles for the month of September:

• Train – Save Me, San Francisco
• The Doobie Brothers – Best of The Doobies
• Sara Bareilles – Little Voice
• The Fray – How to Save a Life
• Usher – Confessions
• Coldplay - Parachutes
• John Mayer – Battle Studies

In case you aren’t familiar with downloading music from Amazon, it is really easy. You are prompted to download their downloader tool. Once you have that installed, the songs download through that and automatically pop into your iTunes or media program of your choice. It was simple.

Happy Downloading!

Wow! Here is a fabulous deal on some beauty products. Drugstore.com is having a penny sale through 9/12. You can get up to five De-Luxe items for $.01 each. You will have to pay shipping but even factoring in that cost, it’s a great deal

This offer is exclusive to eBates so you must shop through them to get the penny price. If you aren’t familiar with eBates, here’s how to snag the deal:

• Register or Login to your eBates account HERE.
• In the top right search box search “Drugstore.com”
• Scroll down through the offers until you see “Get any of these items for only $.01 at drugstore.com during our Penny Sale!”

Shopping through eBates will get you an additional 4% cash back plus if you are a new signup, you’ll also receive a $5 signup bonus. That will make it an even sweeter deal for you newbies!

Shipping is $5.99 so your total for five items would be $6.04 or $1.21 each. I got some to use as Christmas gifts.

Today there are some good GroupOn deals that don’t require you to live in the city for which they are offered. To get these deals, just register or login to GroupOn. Then, at the very top click “Visit More Cities.” Simply select the city you are interested in.

Here are the current deals:

• Sioux Falls - Get a $40 gift certificate to Ed Hardy Kids for $20. If your kids are clamoring for Ed Hardy gear and you are suffering from sticker shock, this might be a great option. There are quite a few items like backpacks and board shorts that are priced right around $40. Plus, shipping is free. This offer is limit one and expires 12/8.

• Austin, San Antonio, Seattle, Nashville - If you missed yesterday’s GroupOn for Shutterfly, it is the side deal today for many cities.
  For $10 you can get a 20 page 8×8 hardcover photo book (a $30 value). Tax and shipping are not included and this offer is limit one per person. However, you can order extra ones from different cities but you’ll need a second Shutterfly account to use it. I’ve always been pleased with the quality when ordering from Shutterfly.

• Akron/Canton – Get $35 worth of gourmet coffees, teas, and gifts from Joe’s Coffee House for $15.  This is a great deal if you love (or love to gift) gourmet coffee. Shipping is a flat-rate of $5.

GroupOn deals are typically only available for one day. Unless quantities are limited, the deal will run through midnight. If you’d like to take advantage, do so quickly.

The Amazon magazine deal for this week is a one year subscription to Smart Money magazine for only $5. This price is valid through 9/11.

This subscription will automatically renew until you decide to cancel it. However, you can cancel anytime with Amazon’s Magazine Subscription Manager.
