Borders Books Closing: Liquidation Sales Start Today

-

Yes, after 40 years, Borders Books will be closing their doors.   The Borders Going Out of Business Sales will begin today, 7/22.  Gift cards will be honored during the liquidation sales and Broders Rewards Plus members will be able to use their Borders Rewards Plus discounts through 8/5.   All Borders Bucks will be honored until they expire on 7/31. There are plans to keep a digital presence with support of their ebook. If your store doesn't seem to be Liquidating it might be acquired by Books-A-Million

A word of warning about Liquidation Sales. Most liquidation companies will actually increase prices just to give the 10%-80% Savings. While waiting might mean you don't get the item your looking for it does mean you will actually see some savings. Books normally have a price on the back of them so unless they cover it up I would personally try to fight for that price. Also since they are going out of business most of the people working there are not employees anymore so might not know policies. I'd also try to price match another retail bookstore like Barne's & Noble if you have one, since they are closing use that to your advantage.

    Hey WWadeII,

    Just read your article about the liquidation sales titled "Borders Books Closing: Liquidation Sales Start Today". Since my e-book uses Kobo, hopefully their online presence stays in tact. We recently wrote an article called "Don't Be Fooled by Borders Liquidation Sales" on our blog at UltimateCoupons. I thought the AlmostExtremeCouponing audience might appreciate tips on how to catch great deals when stores are closing.

Save $400 on Cat Litter by Using Chicken Crumbles

For almost two years I've been using chicken crumbles (corn chicken feed) as cat litter, in place of World's Best Cat Litter . I find it funny how World's Best can charge so much for something as simple as ground up dried corn even if it is the one of the best and safest cat litters to use.   I spent a lot of money using scoopable clay cat litter. I was using  Fresh Step   and it is almost up to $0.75 per pound now, and 25lbs fills only 1.5 boxes (I have 4 boxes, 1 per cat +1 extra) . So on average would go thru 50lbs+ a month. The problem with World's Best is the cost of $1.00 per pound.  While the cost might scare you the reasons to use corn litter over clay litter will scare you even more. I have a cat with a urinary issue and another that wheezes. When researching corn litter I found that clay litter can be a culprit. Clay litter sticks and clumps, its not biodegradable and the dust can stick to the urinary tract and nasal passages. Corn litter is great, it c...

Live playthrough of the fast action dice rolling Kickstarter game Star Fighters Rapid Fire by Alley Cat Games. Back Star Fighters on Kickstarter . About Star Fighters: Rapid Fire combines the excitement of real-time dice rolling with tactical starship combat. Each player hops into the cockpit of their own starfighter and duels it out in a dog fight to prove who is the superior pilot. The game plays in multiple modes 1 vs 1, 3 player free-for-all, 2 vs 2, or a solo mode where a single starfighter attacks an orbital space station. In the real-time phase all players roll and re-roll their command dice simultaneously, and assign them to the various functions of their starfighter. When a player has fully charged systems and is ready to act they may end the real-time phase by hitting the big red button and yelling, “Fire!” This means all players must cease rolling and allocating dice and move to the tactical phase. In the tactical phase players then alternate activating the systems they hav...

Japanese Hidden Gems Board Games by Board Game Tables.com Coming Soon to Kickstarter

-

BoardGameTables.com announced two incredibly quirky and fun Japanese board games that will be launching on Kickstarter October 12th. The first game is Dandelions, a small box area-majority game that feels entirely unique, yet closely related to our crowd favorite Mountain Goats. The second game is Psychic Pizza Deliverers Go to the Ghost Town, an exploration game where you have to navigate through teleports, graveyards and ghosts to deliver pizza. "Do you have any indie Japanese games at home? Or any that you're a big fan of? If so, you'll no doubt understand why we all love so many of these thoughtful and offbeat games. If you haven't been fortunate to play one - that's why we're doing this!" The majority of independent Japanese games are either incredibly hard to purchase, or, if you are lucky enough to purchase them, it's dubious if you can find translated rules. This challenge has led BoardGameTables.com to team-up with James Nathan to help us con...
