Getting Your Summer Body With Help From DealDash

 

Everyone wants to look great for the summer, but most of us probably indulged a but too much during the holidays. DealDash is here to help.

There are lots of different ways to get healthy and regain that awesome body for summer, but almost all of the different ways are just a variation on the good old fashioned advice “Eat less and exercise more.” No matter what your fitness level, from couch potato to grandma to stressed out office worker most everyone is capable of taking a short walk every day. You might wonder, though, exactly how far you are walking and what exactly you’re doing to help your body. DealDash has a solution for that.

Most of us are familiar with the old pedometers that count your steps. There is anew breed of computerized pedometers that can not only track your steps but also connect with your computer via a small WIFI dongle to upload all of your information, keep track of it, and help you meet your fitness goals. Some of these trackers can even keep track of your sleeping and help you sleep better, which is also key in having better fitness. If you’re interested in learning more about these new high tech pedometers check them out on DealDash at this link right here.

If you’re most interested in boosting your fitness and getting a beach body by walking and keeping track of your steps a great item to pair with your pedometer would be a treadmill. A treadmills are great for letting you get a workout accomplished during any time of the night or day and in any kind of weather.

Let’s look at it this way – treadmills are the indoor motorized equivalent of walking or running in place. You simply keep up with a belt that’s moving under your feet. Your treadmill workout will burn about the same number of calories as walking or running outdoors, yet in your lovely air conditioned, TV with cable, and internet equipped house. DealDash has a selection of treadmills that come up for auction. If you would like to check them out please click on this link here. If you are interested in one of these treadmills please click on the “Alert Me” button on the auction’s home page and you will receive an email when the auction for that particular item is about to begin.

Please remember, if you are just getting started on your road to fitness and you’re someone who hasn’t had any strenuous physical activity for at least three months, it’s recommended that you begin with walking. By training consistently (initially twice a week and then three times a week), you can gradually increase the intensity of your exercise by increasing your speed and incline.

If you have been sedentary for 6 months or more it would be an extremely good idea to have a check up with your doctor to make sure that you are healthy enough to start a fitness program. Also, they might be able to give you some great tips on fitness taking into account your own personal medical history.

 

In addition to exercising eating healthily is a huge part of fitness. Please check back on the DealDash blog this Wednesday for some more tips on fitness and getting your best body for summer.

Setting Your Bid Limit on DealDash

Everyone wants to win every auction that they enter, but in reality that is very unlikely to happen. However, you can always be a winner if you stick to your bid limits and BIN (Buy It Now) when you aren’t the last bidder.

One of the most common questions that I have had people ask me is “How do you know when to stop bidding?” Well, the answer will possibly sound a little complicated, but in practice it’s really very easy to figure out, especially if you are the sort of person who “checks in” on the auctions that you are bidding on every so often.

The first step, of course, is to find an auction that you are interested in bidding on. Now, make sure that you truly want this product, because the way to know when to stop bidding involves being willing to BIN (Buy It Now) if you don’t happen to win the auction. You can check the BIN price of any auction if you open up the auction’s page and look in the upper left hand corner under the title of the auction. There should be a $$$ money amount next to a phrase that says “Buy It Now price”.

The next step is to think about how much you spent per bid. The official cost for bids is .60 per bid, but DealDash is kind enough to have bids on sale every single day. Sometimes they are .12, .13, .14, .15, .16, .17, or .18 per bid depending on what day you buy your bids.

After you have determined the BIN price and the price you paid per bid then it’s time to get down to the math. Let’s make things easy and say you are bidding on something that has a BIN price of $20, and you spent .14 per bid. If you divide $20 by .14 you get 142. So if it happens to be a FREE auction day (which it is occasionally, especially on a holiday weekend) then go ahead and load up your Bid Buddy with 142 bids and sit back and see if you win or if you BIN. If it’s not a FREE auction day then you would be smart to monitor your auction every now and again to see what the final auction price is and adjust the bids in your Bid Buddy accordingly.

I hope that these simple tricks help you to save your bids and get the most out of your bid pack purchases. Pay attention to what you’re doing, check out the auctions and see what you would really like to bid on, and try my tips to save bids. See you on DealDash everyone! Good luck and happy bidding.

Time to Start the Garden With DealDash

It’s spring and time to start your garden! Let’s see what items that DealDash has that can help.

Growing your own vegetables is fun, rewarding, and can save you money. All you really need to get started is some decent soil and a few plants, but to be a really successful vegetable gardener you are going to need some supplies. DealDash has you covered.

Starting with the absolute basics aside from soil and plants, you are going to need some tools. DealDash has an awesome tool kit that’s just perfect for beginning your garden. Here is what the kit includes:

  • Leaf and flower trimmer
  • Water spray bottle
  • Branch and twig pruner
  • Spade
  • Trowel
  • Cultivator
  • Convenient carrying bag

If you’re interested in checking out the beginner’s tool kit you can just click on this link right here and it will take you to the description page. If you’re interested in bidding on the kit just click the handy “Alert Me” button, and DealDash will send you an email when the auction is ready to begin. You may cancel the alert at any time by clicking the button again. You may set as many alerts as you would like, DealDash will take care of the rest!

I realize some people don’t have a lot of extra space for a garden, for example a lot of people don’t even have a yard due to living in an apartment or condo. Don’t worry, DealDash can help with that as well!

If you have even a small amount of space on a patio, deck, or balcony then a small raised garden bed might be the best bet for you to try. DealDash has a small Raised Garden Bed Kit that can provide you with an easy way to grow and display herbs, flowers or vegetables in smaller spaces. It’s made from recycled wood and plastic, the raised garden kit assembles easily with no tools. This wood and plastic garden bed measures 42″L x 42″W x 6″H and will not rot or decay since it’s made with quality in mind. If you would like to check out the small raised garden bed then just click this link right here.

I hope that you are excited about getting your garden started! You can set your Bid Buddy and get one of these great products for a fraction of the cost. If you don’t happen to win the auction, though, you can still be a winner by using BIN (Buy it Now). When you BIN you get the product that you wanted, all of your bids back, free shipping, and keep all of the bids that you won as being the highest bidder. Good luck and happy bidding everyone.

 

Spring Cleaning With DealDash

 

Spring is in the air, and for most of us that means that a little spring cleaning is in order. DealDash has your supplies ready.

Now is the time for spring cleaning, and I couldn’t think of a better chore to do right now than steam clean my carpets and get them ready for summer. DealDash has a pair of cleaners that would be great for giving your carpets a deep cleaning this summer – the  Bissell Premier Pet 17N4 upright deep cleaner for most of the work, and the Bissell Spot Clean, 5207W to get those stubborn spots that just won’t come up with normal measures. This would be a great combination to win that would make your carpets look and smell just like new. You can find these and even more Bissell cleaning products on DealDash at this link here.

Speaking of vacuums, when is the last time that you vacuumed your basement and garage? This would be a great spring cleaning project for you to tackle while the air is fresh and you are feeling optimistic about the whole cleaning idea. DealDash has a vacuum that is specifically meant to be used to clean the garage. It’s called the Garage Utility Vacuum, and it’s made by Hoover. You can find the GUV at this link here. After you have vacuumed your garage and basement, how about putting up those shelves that have been sitting around waiting for you to get around to them? Once you have put up some nice shelves it will be so much easier to get all of your tools and outdoors things organized. You can find an assortment of garage and basement shelves on DealDash at this link here.

Speaking of getting cleaned and organized, how is your deck or porch looking lately? I know that in the fall my desk becomes a catch-all for some of the things that stay outside in the winter, and it could really look much tidier. When thinking of ideas how I can maximize my space yet still keep all of my items, I came across this resin wicker seat. It can store a lot of small items, it’s capacity is 22 gallons. It’s also very cute and looks great on the deck as well as providing an extra seating option for when our deck chairs are all occupied. If you’re looking for something similar check out this link here.

Did You Set your Clock Back? Save Time With DealDash

 

 There are a few groups of people with unlimited amounts of free time – retirees, the housebound, the extremely wealthy, but what about the rest of us? Time is money!

DealDash is not only great at saving you money when you get an awesome deal on an auction, but what about the time DealDash can save you by bidding on auctions instead of having to go to multiple stores to shop?

I don’t know about you, but as a busy Mom of three kids I don’t have a lot of spare time to go around. So when my daughter says she needs a new bike, my son says he needs a new basketball, and I see that the baby needs a new stroller as well as all of the things that I need around the house it can be a little overwhelming. If I were to go to each of the stores to pick up those items individually it would take me all day if I went by myself, and two or three separate trips if I had to drag along a newborn, a 4 year old, and an 8 year old. I just don’t have that kind of time to spare. Enter DealDash!

I can get every single one of those items that I mentioned, and more, by just sitting in the comfort of my own home and bidding on the auctions for the things that I need. And with BidBuddy, I don’t even have to BE there to bid! I can just set my BidBuddy up and check back later to see if I won or if I will be BINning (Buying It Now).

In case you aren’t familiar with the BidBuddy, the BidBuddy places bids for you after you have programmed in the amount of bids that you would like to place. It waits until the last 2-3 seconds to bid. You can put a limit on how many bids will be used. And you can cancel or add more bids to it at any time. If you would like to see more information on how the BidBuddy is used, follow this link here.

 

 

I hope this article gave you some ideas on how to save time and therefore money using DealDash auctions to shop from home. Why don’t you check out the auctions and see what you would really like to bid on and WIN? See you on DealDash everyone! Good luck and happy bidding.
