I love when my husband finds a new, friendly-priced gadget that will save our family money!

. . . Meet “The Nest” . . .

Okay, it doesn’t look like a bird’s nest, which was the initial visual in my head.  Named after the place we humans call “home” a.k.a. “our nest” this gadget works with our existing cooling and heating system thermostat to cut costs and keep our “nest” comfortable.

Recently featured in CNN Money, the Nest Learning Thermostat is saving homeowners around the country up to $60 per season.  Multiplied by four seasons… that’s up to $240 per year! If you’re like me, the first question out of your mouth is “Just how much does one of these things cost?”  The general public has a price tag of $250 for the newest (2nd generation) model, but as a frugal shopper you know how to get the best price: pay with discount gift cards from Plastic Jungle.

Where can you buy “The Nest”?

Nest Learning Thermostats are sold at several Plastic Jungle retailers including Lowe’s Home Improvement, Apple Store, Best Buy (currently out of stock), and Amazon.com.  (Amazon.com gift cards are available when you sell gift cards to Plastic Jungle).

How do you get the lowest price?

Use the discount gift card to the store with the deepest discount, of course.

Of the retailers available at Plastic Jungle that sell “The Nest”, the highest discount (8%!) can be found using Lowe’s Home Improvement discount gift cards. Lowe’s gift cards knock $14.32-$19.92 off the price of a Nest Thermostat!

. . . Choose from Your Choice of Two Money-Saving Nest Thermostat Models . . .

The Original Nest Learning Thermostat

Priced at just $179 (normally $198) $165 with Lowe’s discount gift cards, the original Nest Learning Thermostat adjusts the temperature of your home when you’re away with Auto Away to save energy.  It’s compatible with your iPhone, smartphone, or laptop via wifi, works in 75% of homes, and takes 30 minutes to install.  So for only $165 out of your pocket, you can save up to $240 per year.  This device pays for itself and then some!

The 2nd Generation Nest Learning Thermostat

This energy and money-saving device would normally cost you $249.  But, with discount Lowe’s gift cards from Plastic Jungle, you can add a 2nd Generation Nest Learning Thermostat to your home for only $229!  Like the original Nest, the 2nd Generation Nest Learning Thermostat comes with Auto Away, is compatible with your smartphone or laptop via wifi, and takes 30 minutes to install.  What’s special about the newest model is that it works in 95% of homes and is 20% thinner!

Check to see if your local utility company offers a Nest Thermostat Rebate to save even more!

To make saving energy even easier, many U.S. utility companies are offering a mail-in-rebate when you purchase a Nest Learning Thermostat.  Nest rebates range from $25-$100 depending on the company, so your Nest price can reduce to as low as $65-$129!!  For a list of Nest Thermostat rebate programs around the United States check this list.

What Apple products do you have your eye on?

The most amazing iPhone yet (the iPhone 4S) is getting an upgrade this month!  If you’ve been on the edge of your seat since 2011 wondering when this would happened, the wait is nearly over.  If you order discount Apple Store gift cards now, you’ll be able to pre-order the new iPhone 5 for 5% less as early as Sept. 12!

Apple typically lets consumers place pre-orders on the same day the release date is announced for new products.  If this holds true, this coming Wednesday (Sept. 12) you can pre-order the new iPhone 5 and save 5% if you have Apple Store discount gift cards.

But… you have to act fast.  Apple Store gift cards don’t stay in stock very long at Plastic Jungle.

What will the new iPhone 5 be like?

Everyone wishes they knew.  Only speculation paints what we think the new iPhone 5 will be like.  Maybe a completely new design, bigger screen, or more crisp camera.  Whatever Apple has in store for the iPhone 5, we can be sure it will be simply cutting edge.

iPod Discounts

Apple Store discount gift cards can be used on anything you want from Apple Store retail locations and Apple.com.  Get an iPod, iPod Nano, iPod Shuffle, iPad, or anything else you’ve been waiting to bring home for less.

Mac and iPad Triple Savings

Teachers, students, and administrators have access to special “Apple Education Pricing”.  This discount unlocks a 5% price cut and applies to Apple computers like the MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, and iMac as well as the iPad.  But, lowering the price of your new Apple product doesn’t have to stop there.  If you pay for your Apple Education Mac or iPad using discount Apple Store gift cards – you’ll save 5% twice!  PLUS, if you shop by Sept. 21 Apple will throw in a $50-$100 gift card.  Restrictions apply.  See complete offer details.

Remember, only with discount Apple Store gift cards can you get the new iPhone 5 for 5% less.
