Monty Python’s Life Of Brian, $6

Blessed are the cheesemakers, but you don’t need much cheddar to buy Monty Python’s Life Of Brian on Blu-ray today.

Garden Of Life Protein Gold Box
Buy two, get 30 percent off vitamins, supplements, and protein

It’s a new year, which means a lot of you will be striving to get into better shape. Luckily, Amazon’s here to help with great deals on protein powders, vitamins, and supplements from Garden Of Life.

All of the offerings here are certified USDA Organic, and the prices are great, so go flex your saving muscles and stock up on your favorite products and flavors. Just note that this is a Gold Box deal, meaning these prices are only available today, or until sold out.

If Garden Of Life isn’t your brand of choice, Amazon’s also offering a buy two, get 30 percent off deal on vitamins, supplements, and protein products from several manufacturers, including BSN, Cullucor, Vitafusion, and more. Just add any two products to your cart, and you’ll see your discount automatically at checkout.

Hamilton Beach Set ’N Forget, $31

Odds are, you’ve got a $20 Crock-Pot sitting in a cabinet, gathering dust. But with just a few added features, the humble slow cooker can be one of your favorite kitchen tools, and one of the best models on the market is on sale for an all-time low of $31, which is an absolute no-brainer price.

Unlike most entry level slow cookers, the Hamilton Beach Set ’N Forget is fully programmable on a few different parameters. You could set it to cook for a certain amount of time, after which it’ll switch to a “keep warm” mode—perfect for preparing six-hour recipes during nine-hour workdays. You can also insert a thermometer probe, and it’ll cook your meat to the proper temperature, and no higher.

I got a very similar cooker as a wedding gift (it didn’t include the clip-on spoon), and I use it on a weekly basis. Just be sure to grab yours today, before it sells out.

FitDesk 2.0, $197

I bought the FitDesk 2.0 on a whim a couple of years ago, and was surprised both by how viable it was to work at, and how compact it gets when folded up. It fits easily into a closet, opening up for use while working, gaming, or marathoning Netflix, and is particularly nice out on the balcony.

Today’s price isn’t the cheapest it’s ever been, but it doesn’t get a discount often. It’s one of the easiest ways I know of to get in better shape for the new year.

APC 11-Outlet Surge Protector, $14 after $6 coupon

Featuring an 8-foot power cord and 11 AC outlets, plus coax and phone line protection, this APC surge protector is exactly what you need behind your home theater. Amazon will sell you one for $14 right now (after you clip the $6 coupon), which is an all-time low.
