The Bacon of the Month Club from $12.50!

Posted: Oct 24th, 2008, 10:00am MST by admin

Benjamin Franklin once quipped, “Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.” We here at Strange Deals (and we don’t think we’re alone on this) think the same thing could be said about bacon. Morning, day, and night, bacon is the perfect accent to any meal. Omelets? They need bacon. Baked Potato? Get some bacon in there. Sandwich? Put bacon on it. Melon? Better when it’s wrapped in bacon.

Well, if you concur, don’t hesitate in joining Grateful Palate’s Bacon of the Month Club! Not only will you get a delicious, new artisan bacon delivered to your door every month, but you’ll also receive a bacon-inspired t-shirt, ballpoint pen, toy pig, as well as a monthly recipe and comic strip. Get one package delivered each month for just $150 ($12.50 per month) or two for $225 ($18.75 per month).

Like it or not, weddings can be crazy affairs. Whether you’re meeting former frat brothers, drunken uncles, or jealous sisters, you never really know what to expect.

One thing you can count on, however, is that if you see one of these Wedding Cake Toppers adorning the cake, someone in attendance probably has a shotgun in their car (quite possibly the bride or groom), and may want to kick off the reception with a bang.

These Wedding Cake Decorations for the avid sportsman or sportswoman are now available at APicturePerfectWedding.com for $75. Choose between deer hunter, goose hunter, duck hunter (pictured), or plain-old hunter, in either white or ivory.

Nintendo Wall Graphics $65

Posted: Jul 24th, 2008, 2:53pm MST by admin

When you walk into any given room in your home, what does it say? Does it say artsy? Craftsy? Messy? Creepy? I’m guessing it doesn’t say nerdy, at least not until you get some of these Nintendo Wall Graphics.

Schwetty Balls $5, Only Sold in Pairs

Posted: Jul 22nd, 2008, 2:53pm MST by admin

After a round of 18 in the blazing sun, one can get left feeling a little damp. Let your golf ball reflect that, with Schwetty Balls! Stemming perhaps from the classic SNL skit, in which Alec Baldwin plays baker Pete Shweddy in an interview with the hosts of NPR’s The Delicious Dish, these golf balls capitalize on a hilarious, if somewhat sophomoric, double-entendre.

If you don’t have some already, you can now buy a pair at SchwettyBalls.com for just $4.99 (or get a dozen for $14.95). You can also upgrade to a pair of Schwetty Blue Balls for $8.98 per pair though we’re not sure why you’d want to pay for blue balls.

The Flaming Footbag $25

Posted: Jul 10th, 2008, 7:09pm MST by admin

Remember that old Saturday Night Live skit where Dan Akroyd plays a sleazy toy manufacturer? He sold products like Johnny Switchblade, Bag O’ Glass, and Halloween costumes like The Human Torch and The Invisible Pedestrian to unsuspecting children. Well, this is kind of like that.

The Flaming Footbag is pretty self-explanatory. It’s a hacky sack made of Kevlar armor which you then soak in kerosene, light on fire, and kick around with your pals. Freedom Footbags has them for $24.99 each (shipping adds $4 more). Be sure to check out the demonstration here. Oh, and be careful, too.

Pick Your Nose Party Cups $8

Posted: Jun 11th, 2008, 8:22am MST by admin

Ever read Cyrano de Bergerac? Ever seen Roxanne? A poetically gifted man with a nose the size of a battleship helps a much dimmer, though better-looking man woo the very same woman with whom he is in love. Eventually, he confesses his own love and they live happily ever after. Sound absurd? It is. It really couldn’t happen in real life, but that shouldn’t stop us from reenacting it at every party!

X-Treme Geek now has these Pick Your Nose Party Cups on sale for only $7.99, plus around $7 shipping. Each package comes with 24 disposable cups featuring 12 different noses. While not all of them are Cyrano sized, all of them offer the possibility to briefly step into a new face without rhinoplasty and say, ‘who nose?’

Sheep Shagger Apron $43

Posted: Jun 1st, 2008, 6:04pm MST by admin

From overseas in the UK, where this kind of humor still predominates, we present the Sheep Shagger Apron. Tending to the flock can get quite lonely in those rolling hills of England, Ireland, and Scotland, and this apron is a not-so-subtle reminder of the shephard’s classic remedy.

These are currently available at NeedAPresent.com where they are 11.99 with 9.99 shipping (in pounds). That translates into roughly $43.50 to get this baaaahhhhd-behavior apron shipped to your door.

The Sonic Grenade is your opportunity to turn any calm, serene environment into total calamity. Set the hard rubber grenade to one of three volume settings, pull the pin, and throw. 20 seconds later, sonic mayhem. Your target can’t turn it off without the pin (which you’ll be holding).

Peter Petrie Egg Separator $13

Posted: Dec 2nd, 2007, 3:01pm MST by admin

The creepy little ceramic head is your ticket to more efficient egg separating (clearly a concern of us all). Crack open an egg, drop it in Peter’s head and watch as the egg white drops unpleasantly through his large nose, leaving the intact egg yolk still inside. However tasteless, this does at least serve a purpose, which is more than we can say for some other StrangeDeals.

The best deal on this snotting cooking tool? Stupid.com (great name), has the Peter Petrie Egg Separator for just $12.99 plus around $4-$5 for shipping.

Best of all, Peter is Made in the USA by “skilled American potters.”

Cappuccino Scented Soap That Looks Like…

Posted: Nov 30th, 2007, 11:16pm MST by admin

Looking to gross out your friends and family? When they get downstairs on Christmas morning they’ll see their stocking filled with what appears to be, uh, dog doo. But relax, little Timmy, it’s just soap!

Billed as the “best smelling pile ever,” the Nope…it’s Soap is now $7.99 ($9.99 for a heavy pile). This cappuccino-scented high-quality hand soap is a great way to have a laugh, maybe at the expense of your friends and family. Plus, it’s currently being offered with free shipping and no sales tax by the good folks at noapitssoap.com.

And it sure beats coal in your stocking.

Land for $19.99 an Acre?

Posted: Nov 29th, 2007, 11:16pm MST by admin

Yes. In outer space. Since the real estate market down here on earth has crashed, consider the “extraterrestrial real estate market.” The space cowboys at Lunar Embassy are hawking Prime View Lunar Properties for just $19.99. In case your worried about taking title, we’d advise you pay the additional $2.50 for the “Deed with your name printed on it.”

Certificates are available for download or can be sent via mail. They also sell “Galactic IDs” - for those of you who really want to get settled in.

This may be the most backhanded, useless-yet-hysterical Christmas gift of all-time!

Marshmallow Guns from $17

Posted: Nov 25th, 2007, 12:58pm MST by admin

It’s been said that effective technology is paramount to war. But what about candy wars? I say there’s nothing like a cold, ruthless marshmallow gun to strike fear in the hearts of your enemies. But what nefarious types deal these weapons of marshmallow destruction?

A full armory of these guns are now available at Drugstore.com (our arms dealer of choice), starting at $16.99 for the Marshmallow Shooter, and ranging all the way up to $24.99 for the Marshmallow Blaster. New customers can buy 2 and use our $5 off $30 + Free Shipping coupon or buy 3 for $50.99 and use our $10 off $50 + Free Shipping coupon (see other active Drugstore.com coupons). Otherwise, shipping starts at $5.99 and there’s no sales tax.

Sheep for $45?

Posted: Nov 24th, 2007, 5:42pm MST by admin

Here’s one for the person who has everything, or the person who wants nothing. Donate livestock to the third world, improve the lives of people living in poverty, and do it in a friend or loved ones name. And it’s a safe bet they don’t already have one of these.

Oxfam America has a program set up where you can buy a sheep for $45, send it to those in need, and make someone else feel good about doing it. These animals allow for thousands of women abroad to create their own income selling wool for local textiles. Plus, the recipient (of the gift, not the sheep) receives a photo card in the mail that says “I bought a sheep for you,” along with any personal message you would like to include.

Dog Toilet Water Bowl $13

Posted: Nov 24th, 2007, 5:42pm MST by admin

Some people love their dogs so much that they actually let them drink out of the toilet. Much like with a spoiled child, some dog owners just can’t say ‘no’ to their canine companions. Well, here’s a nice option for those folks, as well as anyone looking for a bit more convenience. The Dog Toilet Water Bowl is, as you can see, in the form of everyone’s favorite ceramic throne. Just fill a standard two-liter bottle, pop it on the back, and forget about it (at least until it’s empty).

Where to get it? Some stores sell it for $25 or more but Collections Etc. has it for just $14.99. Enter 10% off coupon code 3CEMS4 (expires 12/1) to cut it to $13.49 (see more Collections Etc. coupons). Shipping is $6.99. Plus, no sales tax (except IL, KS).

Posted: Nov 20th, 2007, 5:41pm MST by admin

Steam Shower + Whirlpool Tub $1900

Posted: Nov 13th, 2007, 9:09am MST by admin

Long ago there was a time when all you could buy online was books at Amazon. Then electronics, then clothes, then engagement rings from Blue Nile. October 2007 brought coffins. November brings showers, and nice ones at that. Your friends at StrangeDeals, here to entertain and save you money as always, have secured a deal on it as well.

The Ariel 609A Steam Shower with Whirlpool Tub retails for as much as $5000 off-line. Overstock.com normally sells it for $2299.99 but has cut the price to $1899.99 for StrangeDeals Readers. This thing is the good life: it has 12 body massage jets, 6 whirlpool jets, a foot massage system, overhead rainfall showerhead, computer control panel, remote control, speakers and microphone (plus an FM radio / CD connector), hands-free telephone and built-in seats. Shipping, as always, is a mere $2.95.

The coolest part is that the units are self-contained: you just put it somewhere and hook up plumbing. And read the raving review. It includes the phrase “Do not hesitate to buy this you will never regret it.”

Hard to beat that, huh?

Decapitated Teddy Bear USB Drive??

Posted: Nov 13th, 2007, 8:30am MST by admin

teddy bear usb drive Here is a priceless one. We just received a picture of this from a user who submitted a strange deal. No joke: it is is a USB drive that is made to look like your computer decapitated a teddy bear.

The only problem: we can’t find this for sale in any stores. So we are mentioning it here in hopes that one of you good samaritans will show us the way, or, alas, inform us that this is simply home-made.

Even then, put me down for a dozen.

The “Brief Safe” $11

Posted: Nov 13th, 2007, 7:53am MST by admin

The ultimate deterrent, the Brief Safe is a pair of underwear with a 4″ x 10″ compartment for hiding valuables that makes use of what it calls “special markings” on the “lower rear” to stave off would-be thieves. It comes in one color: “white (and brown).” This is disgusting!

Pick up a pair for $11 at Shomer-tec a military and law enforcement equipment provider. Shippings adds a hefty $13.

Haven’t touched your sensibilities yet? They also have Doo Drops, which “look and smell like real diarrhea” and were supposedly manufactured for “the CIA and other federal agencies.”
