$3 off LED lights: Make your Christmas tree greener with LED lights

(November 5 through 15)

Home Depot is having its second annual Christmas light amnesty program.  They are selling 50-bulb LED white Christmas lights for $6, and you get $3 off if you trade-in your incandescent Christmas lights for LEDs.  LED bulbs use about 80% less energy and last much longer.  There's a limit of 5 units of 50-light boxes per customer for the trade-in.

Home Depot will recycle your old Christmas lights, taking them apart and making sure they don't end up as landfill.  Also, don't forget that you can drop off your dead CFLs at Home Depot, which will recycle them (and the mercury in them) for you.

Buy 1 year of Costco membership and get 2 months free

(expires June 30, 2010)

Costco membership usually costs $50, which you can sometimes offset with deals that give you free photos and free rotisserie chickens.  But if those goodie bags don't appeal to you, get 2 months free with this special offer.

Alternatively, if you prefer Sam's Club, get a free 1-day pass, which expires November 7.  But beware that a 10% service fee might apply outside of California and South Carolina.

Lowe's 20% off Energy Star appliances

(expires September 7)

It's hard to get a good deal on appliances, unless you find that close-out model or one with a big ol' scratch on its side.  But Lowe's comes along with a 20% off promotion for Energy Star appliances costing $397 or more.  This is a great deal, especially because you can usually find a 10% off Lowe's coupon on eBay or at your local post office (look for the packet of coupons for movers).  So you can get 30% off a new refrigerator to replace that old clunker that eats through your electricity bills?  It can pay to be green!

J.A. Henckels 18-piece knife set for $212

(update: sold out)

Amazon is offering an 18-piece set of the J.A. Henckels Gourmet line for $212.  This set lists for over $600 as the list price, but usually you can get it for about $300.  It's an excellent set of knives.  While Henckels has cheaper knives with their "International" line, those knives are made in China and of pretty poor quality.  This J.A. Henckels Gourmet line is made in Germany and of very good quality (I have a couple myself).  They're made of stamped steel, not forged steel like the higher end knives.  Nevertheless, this is a great set!

Herman Miller furniture 40% off

(while supplies last)

Herman Miller, a designer furniture brand, does not go on sale often.  When it does, it's usually about 10-15% off.  DiscountAerons.com, a CSN store, has 40% off certain Herman Miller items.  You might think this is returned merchandise or just an outlet-style selection of purple and yellow.  No, this is the real deal: give thanks to the recession and shop for:

• Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman for $2,500 (40% off)


• Eames Sofa Compact for $2,375 (40% off)

Weber Genesis Grill for $600
