Deal of the Week: Ongoing Bonobos Cyber Monday Deals?
Way back in High School, a friend of mine and I borrowed his parents van to go to see a movie. After the movie, we were about to leave the parking lot, when we started driving towards the well known “jump” in town that kids would catch air in their cars while going over. (Every town seems to have one of these). It was right behind the movie theater, my pal lined up his parent’s rig, and when we eventually hit the ground the airbags went off, the steering column blew apart, and the oil pan was torn off the bottom of the car. There we were, with one dead car, air bags deployed, and the horn continuously going off. He looked at me after the car came to a stop, still gripping the stearing wheel with the deflated airbag resting on his arms and said one word: “Broken.” That’s sort of what happened to the Bonobos website this week. It started to come back up last night. The deals are still available, but stock is limited.

Well of course. Black Friday was pretty good this year, and Cyber Monday held its own. Even with the Bonobos website eating more dirt than NCC-1701-D on Veridian III (*cough* NERRRRDS!) there will still some solid surprises. Endless offering up to $100 off? J. Crew doing a site-wide no minimum sale? No wonder people spent more this year.

Just a tad bit of passion on this. You think the post would have been titled: “How to buy an engagement ring… then decide on who to support for President.”
I must say,I appreciate the fervor shown by some for avoiding conflict diamonds. However, marketing scam or not, a lot of ladies like the diamonds. To quote the janitor from Scrubs, “women are like crows, they like shiny things…” Haha
Just going to throw this out there, if anyone needs a Bonobos referral to get a free $50 gc, just email ninjas@bonobos.com my name and they will hook you up. Enjoy!
Joe, that Star Trek reference on this complete bastard of a Friday morning was just enough to lift my spirits sufficiently to get through the rest of this shitty day and even worse week. You should start your own Nerd help line, replete with Piccard platitudes and Data dictums.
Engage!
Hang in there Jackson. Been a long week for many so I’m with you. Make yourself a cup of tea (Earl Grey, hot) and know that it’s only a few more hours till happy hour at Ten-Forward.
Trying Sal’s hook up…
oh, i am definitely getting some Aldebaran Whiskey! Hey isn’t that Guinan walking past?
Hey Shane, it should work no problem, but they may take a bit longer to reply than usual since they are still pretty swamped.
Actually, the Weekly Wrap Up is one of the worst wrap ups that you can write, both in terms of value and in terms of ethics. Their summaries are not based on intrinsic value in the way gold or other precious gemstones are; instead they’ve generally been set by a mastermind Dappered cartel which manipulates the readers through control of (ample) discounts and clever, pervasive daily posts. Those Three Posts? Pure Dappered gold.

Thanks Sal. I haven’t heard back from them yet…hopefully tomorrow!
No need to mock. His confrontational tone was unnecessary, but his information was mostly accurate. Additionally, I think a post about diamond rings is somewhat against the spirit of this website (getting the most of our your money and avoiding brand name hype in favor of maintaining style and quality).
In my humble opinion, there are far better options than diamonds that embody affordable style and can demonstrate that you are a man of substance and taste who still knows how to put his money in a wise lifelong investment like an engagement ring.
The best way is to actually call, since they have to unlock the referral code for you. Just give them his name and once you place the order with the code, you’ll get $50 off $100
If anyone wants to help me out use my name: William Donayre
Oh for… let it go already. Please. It was an attempt to be of some help. Move on. Seriously.
Got the $50.00 off code today, thanks! Going shopping now!
Joe, I apologize. Feel free to remove my comment.
