For those of you in advanced science and math courses, or with students in those courses, graphing calculators can be an expensive requirement. I’ve never used another brand of graphing calculator, so from a comparison point, can only say that the Texas Instruments brand is reliable to a fault (though they do melt in fire - just ask me how I know this!).

If you’re shopping for a Texas Instruments graphing calculator, you can expect to pay between $100 and $150, depending on the course/calculator requirements, and your own personal preferences. Thanks to an online coupon code and a few great rebates from Office Depot, you can purchase a new TI calculator for $50 less AND receive two free movie tickets!

Barnes & Noble has a fairly large selection of board games on clearance this week, and TODAY ONLY, they’re the featured daily double on Ebates (an online shopping portal that rewards members with cash back on every purchase made through their site).

As an example: Spiderman Monopoly is regularly priced at $34.95 from Barnes & Noble, but is now on clearance for $8.73 ($7.85 for B&N Members). When you start at Ebates, you’ll be redirected to the Barnes & Noble site through Ebates, and earn 8% cash back from your B&N purchase. That cash back amount is placed in your Ebates account until you reach $5.01 - once you reach that amount, Ebates will send you a “big fat check” for the balance in your cash back account.

To make the savings even better, there are several Barnes & Noble coupons available, including free shipping (on one item, if you spend $25 or more), and 25% off the highest-priced item in your shopping cart. If you’ve not yet signed up with Ebates, you’ll also receive a $10 bonus just for registering.
