Attention, everyone in my family (immediate and extended): Father’s Day is Sunday, June 16. You have less than two weeks left to shop. That is all.

Oh, I mean, just being a dad is gift enough. Heh Heh (Seriously, though, where’s my cake?)

Never one to let a holiday go by undiscounted, Amazon is offering $ 20 off any tablet Kindle Fire HD When You apply coupon code DADSFIRE at checkout.

That means you can get the 7-inch Kindle Fire HD (16GB) for $ 179 shipped, the Fire HD 8.9 (32GB) for $ 279 shipped, the Fire HD 8.9 4G LTE (32GB) for $ 379 shipped, and so on. (The coupon applies to any Fire HD configuration, including with / without Special Offers.)

You may recall just last week, Staples had the Fire HD 8.9 (16GB) for $ 239, a savings of $ 30 – and with a $ 40 Staples gift card to boot. Alas, that deal is gone, but at least you can still save on the Kindle for Dad.

Ah, but which one? That’s a tough call. I like the one-handed usability of a 7-inch tablet, but certainly there’s much to be said for a bigger screen – especially if Dad’s into movies and Web browsing. And, hey, that built-in 4G LTE option is mighty sweet.

Ultimately, though, the Cheapskate’s gotta go cheap, meaning the regular old Fire HD (16GB) for $ 179 out the door. That’s a terrific tablet deal any way you slice it.

And while you’re at it, why not stock with a couple que Kindle e-books might like Dad? For a limited time, Amazon has, absolutely free. Of course, you do not have to tell Dad got these free, it can be our secret.

Bonus deal: Ready to cut the cord on your landline phone? Today only, 1SaleADay has the NetTalk Duo Wi-Fi voice-over-IP phone system for $ 34.99 shipped. Normally it sells for $ 64.95, though this version comes with just three months of phone service, not the usual one year. Still, each additional year is just $ 29.95, and this duo can be plugged in just about anywhere in your house, it does not require close proximity to your router. I’ve tested this model (with cable Internet service) and found it to be an excellent home-phone option. But those with any VoIP solution, your mileage may vary. Also, plan on 2-3 weeks for delivery.

Deals found on The Cheapskate are subject to availability, expiration, and other terms determined by sellers.

Curious about what exactly The Cheapskate does and how it works?
