Now that my knee has healed and I am able to exercise again I was glad to see a sale on New Balance Compression Shorts at GraveyardMall.com today. I am not confident in wearing these alone, but love to layer them with larger shorts since they stay in place, wick away sweat and most importantly combat chaffing.

I picked up two pairs of 5 inch compression shorts for only $14.98 with free shipping.

To get this deal go to the Graveyardmall.com daily deal on New Balance and add more than $11 of items into your cart.

Enter shipnewbalance into the code section and you will get free shipping. One note if you are using Paypal, there is a screen that asks you to select the $7.99 shipping and it almost seems you will not get free shipping. Select that method and you will notice the reduction on the final balance.

I purchased a Nook a few months ago (love it!!) and have noticed that I spend more money at Barnes & Noble than I used to. In order to save money I have been seeking out discounted Barnes & Noble gift cards. PlasticJungle.com is one of the sites that I used to buy these discounted cards. These cards sell very quickly and are harder to come by. Today I noticed that there are several cards finally available. Below is the updated list of available cards they have, however if you want one, you will need to act quickly before they are gone.

For the past few semesters I have used Bookrenter.com to save money on texts for myself and my two daughters. I found renting to be a easy way to save money. It was not much of a hassle to return the books at the end of the semester so I will be checking them out again this semester.

Since I am planning on using Bookrenter.com, I was happy to a deal site which is featuring a Super Deal — $10 for $25 Worth of Textbook Rentals from BookRenter.com + Free Shipping. CollegeBudget.com is a yet another deal site for college students. You must have a .edu email address to sign up.
