This morning I noticed that one thrifty Operation Gadget reader purchased a Norelco 8890XL Spectra Rechargeable Cord/Cordless Men's Shaving System on New Year's Day. You say, "Why did that person wait until January 1? If they had bought by December 31, they would have gotten a free personal groomer and a $20 credit on future purchases at Amazon." (We told you about that deal back in November.)

Well, Norelco shavers are on sale, and it looks like an after-Christmas-at-the-department-store kind of deal. The current price for the 8890XL, my personal favorite Norelco shaver, is $129.99, a whopping 56 percent discount from MSRP. It's hard to beat that price, even on price comparison sites.
