How many ways to save? Let’s count a few. Stack Social is offering a free Mac bundle of 10 great apps and their 2013 Summer Mac Bundle offers 10 mainstream apps, including Parallels for Mac, for $49.99. Plus a neat half-dozen Roku, Chromecast and Apple TV set top box savers.

Here’s a no brainer — the Mac Freebie Bundle 2: WebDesign ($50), ButtonDesign for Mac (20), Shine (10), Quick Resizer (1), Signature Maker (3), PDF Converter Master (40), SketchMee (8), PaintMee (8), Photo Dazzle (10), Icons Express (1). Add up all of those suggested retail prices and you get $151 — 10 great Mac apps for free.

And, yes, the 2013 Summer Mac Bundle is still going strong. It’s $482 of software for $49.99:

• Parallels Desktop 8 for Mac ($80) - The #1 Rated Utility to Run Windows on Your Mac
• Snagit For Mac ($50) - Record screen videos, enhance images with the ultimate screen capture tool
• Typinator ($33) – Typinator “types” frequently used text for you
• WinZip Mac Edition 2.0 ($30) – Maximize your productivity & minimize your file sizes
• xPlan ($80) - Easily create, track, & manage your projects right from your Mac
• Jump Desktop ($30) – Connect to any computer in the world

• Leap ($20) – Easily find, organize & browse your most important documents
• ColorStrokes ($3) – The most popular app for selective color photography

And, for what it’s worth, I love Boom for Mac — bought it, use it everyday and highly recommend it.

Whether or not you want the Free Mac Bundle 2.0 or 2013 Summer Mac Bundle, enter to win a MacBook Air, the most up-to-date Haswell-powered model with long lasting battery, hyper-efficient Intel processor, faster wi-fi and über fast SSD storage.
