Wow! In addition to the *HOT* Nook deal I posted about here, here’s another awesome deal you may be able to score at your local Radio Shack! For a limited time, it appears that Radio Shack stores have also marked down the Kindle Touch 3G with Special Offers to only $39-$49.97 (regularly $180!). This eReader is currently priced at $149.99 on BestBuy.com, so this seems like one awesome deal!

[h2s_box]Also, check out what reader Mrs. Anderson emailed me…

An employee tipped me off on a deal on the Kindle 3G + wi-fi! They are on clearance for $39 regular price $180 at Radio Shack.  At my locations if you spend $30 or more you get a $10 store credit which is good in 3 days on purchase of $10 or more! On top of that they have a military discount!  So basically it came to about $25 + tax.  You can’t stack your $10 off coupons but there were a lot of clearance items available making you next purchase a good deal as well!  I also was able to pick up a case for the kindle clearanced 85% off for under $5![/h2s_box]

If you’re interested in snagging this Kindle deal, I highly recommend that you contact your local store and asking if they have any in stock before heading over there. Also, be sure to browse around while you’re there as it appears they have Kindle Jackets and Cases marked up to 85% off! And, if you have a $10 off coupon (you may receive one after checking out), you can score an even sweeter deal! WooHoo!

Let us know if you’re able to snag this great deal! 🙂

(Thanks, Mrs. Anderson!)

    OFF TOPIC: Im doing my kids’ summer clothing shopping and have luck with hip2savers willing to share their unused goodies. I need a gymboree 20% off coupon either emailed or on the parenting magazine. I bought a few things but need to make another order. Thanks Please email makaylaisabel at hotmail. Good karma! 😀 Love this site!

    • Ketsy

      Yay thank you guys so much 😀 Every bit helps. They are currently having thier 40% sale and the coupon applies as well.

  7. Heather

    Our stores don’t have them at all, and I can’t find the product on radio shack’s website to go try to price match it at Walmart.

    • Helen

      Walmart does not carry Kindle product’s.

      • susan h

        That’s right they don’t. They USED TO but no longer carry them at any of their stores.

  8. mweyler

    any idea what part of the country people are finding these?

    • Kelly

      I got one today in New York, I got the last one at the store I went to. However when I saw the ad I started to call all the Radio Shacks Within 1hr. either way of my house (most stores said no right away) after about call 15, I got one $49.97 and the $10 coupon printed out. Good Luck to all and Thank you…Best coupon site ever….

  9. barbie

    is this in black and white only?

  10. jenny

    nope- none here- sigh- cant catch a break- tried getting a nook- and they reserved an empty box for me. Argh.

  11. Felicia

    Atlanta: don’t know about the stores in your area, but the gal told me yesterday about the to a of calls they got for the Nook. Said next time they were just king to tell folks on the phone they’re out. Yes, it was quite disheartening.

    • Felicia

      Sorry…the TON of calls they were getting…

    • Becky

      I have called about 10 in Atlanta and so far they all said no.

      • Felicia

        Hi fellow Atlanta Hipster! I’m not surprised, I was given the run around on the Nook on Wed. Yes they had it, yes they’ll hold it, yes they sold it before I even reached the store.
        This didn’t suite me and I let the manager know – after all, HE was the one that said he’d hold it. A call to his District Manager and behold, new in the box w/wrapper Nook was waiting for me the next day.

  12. Teena

    I live in Cincinnati

    • Judy

      thanks!

  13. Heather

    Got one on hold at my local RA. NE Ohio Area

    • Heather

      What city in NE Ohio? I live there too, I just called and they said they don’t carry them any more.

      • Heather

        Massillon/Canton Area

  14. Deeanna

    I just called three stores and none of them have any 🙁 I was hoping to find one. Good thing I didn’t take three kids out of the house to go looking.

  15. Donna

    They have them in Texas but are $49.99

    • mweyler

      where in TX?

      • April May

        houston and i believe lake jackson has either the nook or kindle…

  16. Shannon

    Thanks so much for posting this deal! The moment I read it (didn’t even finish reading the post even), I called my husband and he went to the Radio Shack right by his work and got the last one the store had! I thank you and my mom who’s Mother’s Day present it will be thanks you!

  17. Helen

    I called 4 of my local stores. First 3 said: “not in stock”. The fourth store, i heard the clerk in the back round state: “not happenin’, no one has it”. So, I guess it is not going to happen!

    • Kelly

      I heard the in the back ground to at one of the stores. You could tell some people actually checked and others just said they didn’t have it right away, (they may have received several calls already or just didn’t care to check.) but I did find one I called about 15 stores. Don’t give up good luck….

  18. Wendy V.

    None here in the northern burbs of Detroit.

  19. Stacy

    One in the entire Wasatch Region of Utah.

    • Anne

      I’m in Utah too. Did you call all the Radio Shacks or can they look up the inventory of all the stores?

      • Stacy

        Yes. The manager actually looked at all stores inventory and found the one but when I called to reserve it the store was already sending it to another store. I did call the cs dept to ask if they had any online for the special price, nope, in store only.

  20. V 2WG

    Nothing around me, the whole New England district’s out according to one of my local RS reps. I also called corporate, no luck. Since it’s a clearanced item, they don’t have inventory control. Ah well, thanks anyway Collin, and congrats to all that snatched up such a great deal!

    • Keren

      i live in mass and i was able to price match at best buy hth!

      • Deb

        I just price matched today at Best Buy on the Nook Collin posted about earlier in the week. I took in the Radio Shack web ad and one from my local RS. No problems at all. I would imagine they’d do the same on the Kindle if they carry it.

      • Felicia

        What did you use to price match at BestBuy?

      • closetclipper

        What did you use to pricematch at BestBuy?

  21. Kidsallgone

    None in Charleston 🙁 But….I was able to get the Simple Touch for $20 🙂 🙂 🙂

    • Kidsallgone

      Charleston, SC

  22. Meghan

    Sold out in the Sacramento, CA area. Boo, because mine just broke last week! 🙁
    Thank you for the heads up Collin!

    • kande

      call amazon. they sold me one at a much discounted rate when mine(out of warranty) cracked.

  23. Heather

    I’m going to check the store in Greenville, NC when I leave work shortly. Does anyone know how different this one is versus the Nook Simple touch? I don’t know what the differences are and any help would be appreciated!

    • Glenn

      The main difference is going to be the 3G – you can use it to download books just about anywhere you could use a cell phone. The other big difference is that it is linked/tied to the Amazon bookstore (as opposed to B&N). There are other differences, but I think those are probably the ones that will matter most to most people. In fact, I think the hardware specifications (display, weight, battery life) will be very similar to the Nook Simple Touch.

  24. Gina

    I found one in a Houston, TX suburb. They have it on hold. My son is going to pick it up. Getting it for $49. I love that it has wifi. My daughter who’s grad. h.s. will be getting it. She’s gonna freak!

    • mweyler

      where in houston? we live on the north side.

      • Gina

        The Katy Mills mall store.

  25. jessica

    I live in seattle, they said don’t have with that price

  26. Vicky

    I was so excited for this deal, but they are completely sold out on both the kindle and the nook in my area (Oklahoma City).

  27. Lisa

    None near Charleston, WV

  28. paula

    Have one on hold in Oklahoma, the rep said it was the last one and was almost tempted to say she didn’t have one and get for herself, really, anyway she is holding for me, so the store might have one but dishonest reps that do not know about the deal until you ask them to check like mine, she did not know it was so cheap. Glad mine was honest and glad for Collin posting, THANK YOU!

  29. Alyssa

    Sold out in the Tampa Bay area, bummer! 🙁

    • Savedbycoupons

      I just got one from the store in Lutz. It was the last one.

  30. Becky

    I went into my store and the employees said word is definitely out about this deal. My store said they never had any. : (

  31. Savedbycoupons

    The Nook was going for $19.99. It showed in stock at my local Radio Shack, but when I called I was told they had been out for a while.

  32. Siubhan

    There are some in stock in San Francisco stores. Use the item #4200921 for them to search.

    • Vicky

      which SF stores did you call? Thanks!

  33. Elisa Degli Angeli - Henke

    I was able to score a Kindle 3G with keyboard for $39.97 at my local RadioShack here in Thousand Oaks, CA and a cover to go with it for just under $5 (regularly priced at $17).
    When I called the store the sales associate was not aware of the clearance prices but was kind enough to check for me and keep the only model they had on hold.
    Thank you Collin!

  34. Wendy

    I would suggest not calling, just go to the store. Many times the employees will say they dont have it, and they will buy all the product. So dont give them a heads up.

    • Erin

      I agree. Beyond that, it kinda sucks for the people who make an effort to actually go to the store but the store won’t sell to them because they’ve got a bunch of phone holds.

  35. SP

    I got one in central NJ. Thanks.

  36. CC

    We were able to get the only one in Dubuque, IA.

    • Jen

      Oh bummer. I guess you saved me a trip!

  37. Courtney

    nothing. radioshack employees are less than helpful. yuck.

  38. axhilli

    In stock in SE Wisc but I already bought the nook. Is the kindle better than the nook. I’m on a budget so the extra $20 means a lot to me.

  39. julie

    i spent $90 and got a used kindle fire on amazon that is just like new. used swagbucks and paid 1.87. i would not pay $40 or 50 for the touch

    • Erin

      Wow! I didn’t realize this was a pre-Kindle Fire model. Why is everyone so excited about this? It’s just a reader, right?

      • Blucoke

        Yes you’re right, it’s just a reader, but if u read a lot it might worth the investment. I’m not a reader at all & more of a web browsing user & the Kindle Fire works both as a reader & multitaskng tablet for many other things, so it’s really you pay for what you get in this eReader deal – which isn’t a deal working for me as I own 3 tablets already & many other web capable devices.

        • Erin

          I am a HUGE reader, but I find that I don’t care for reading on my iPad. I use it mostly for browsing the Web.

      • Emily

        I picked up a plain reader for my 6yr old niece so she could practice reading and not be distracted by games

  40. Savedbycoupons

    In Tampa and just got back from Radio Shack. I got the last one and it was $39.00! I called and they held it for me. YEAH, THANK YOU COLLIN!

    • NItty

      whre in tampa? i had no luck even when i went to the store:( they didnt have this model:(

  41. Jennifer

    I found one in Buffalo, NY!!

  42. Heather

    Tried to get this deal for my 7 year old but my local store said some lady came in an hour before me and bought out their entire stock…I wonder if it was someone that resells them. Why do people do that? It ruins it for everyone else 🙁 Good luck everyone!

  43. Yolanda

    I was able to get the last 2 in my Central, PA store. I didn’t call ahead. The clearance tag on the shelf said $149, but the manager checked and the price had dropped down to $39.97!

    • Erin

      Smart lady! Good for you!

  44. Diane

    My local Best Buy would price match and the 888 guy argued with me but refused to price match as well. I kept trying to hang upand just kept trying to explain why they were refusing to price match. No wonder Best Buy is in trouble. Why would anyone want to shop there?

    • Mia

      Would local BB match even if it shows out of stock online?

      • Ana

        They didn’t price match it at BB even though they called the RS to verify the Nook $19.97 price because it was “out of stock” at the store and they don’t price match “out of stock” items. They even underlined the section and handed me the policy pamphlet.

  45. Maria

    got two in SIgnal Hill, ca! (one for me one for my daughter!!) thank you so much!!

    • Christina

      What is the model #?

      • Maria

        model # is D01200

        • Shelley

          Were there any more in stock in Signal Hill? Thanks!

    • Shelley

      Were there any more in stock in Signal Hill?
      Thanks!

  46. Saira

    Ok so go back to the RadioShack everyone they have clearanced out the kindle fire for 79 plus u get $10 off when u spend $40 and and at the end of the recipet u get $10 so $59 awesome price much better then kindle touch and nook

    • Christina

      What is the model#?

      • Saira

        It says kindle fire not the hd just says kindle fire on the box make sure they scan cause it was 159 something

        • Jaden

          What is the number on the receipt please? Thanks

    • debo427526

      Which model # . I am in Pa and found both Nook and Kindle but nothing was said about Kindle Fire.

      • Gina

        I called 4 stores in my area, it was $159.99 at all of them. Thanks for the tip though.

  47. vikky

    I HATE special offers!!! My kids constantly buy stuff there. I would spend extra now to get one without special offers.

    • Kristen

      I love special offers! I’ve gotten a free audiobook, discounted cover, and discounted books. I didn’t realize you could buy right from the Kindle; I thought they emailed you the promo and you bought from your email. I wonder if Amazon could put some kind of parental control on there so your kids couldn’t do it automatically?? That would be so frustrating, but for me I prefer one with special offers 😉

      • Tilla Ham

        in order to keep your kids from buying stuff, A: tell them not to, and take their crap away. But B: delete yoru payment method from your amazon account and just reenter it when YOU need it

  48. J

    The Radio Shack that I went to wouldn’t sell me the one they had for that price. He said they aren’t a franchise and wouldn’t sell it even tho it rang up at the lower price.

  49. paula

    I called on the kindle fire and both stores said it was $159.99:( I asked him to scan it instead of just going by the price card and supposedly he said he scanned it and still said $159.99, oh well, worth a shot but I did get lucky and got one kindle touch for my mom.

  50. christina

    hi guys, theres some instock at my mcallen tx store at 8;30 pm,we decided not to get it because it s just a e reader, wifi only for downloading books,sadly i dont have time to read. good luck!

    • Ana

      Christina,

      What store in McAllen?

      Thanks!

    • asw0627

      If I’m not mistaken, the 3G portion is only for downloading the books. It still allows you to connect to the internet through Wi-Fi only.
