This is it—the last Amazon Friday Sale before we hit Black Friday and then the whole season of holiday shopping madness. Are there treasures to be had? Let’s find out!
The Home Improvement section has a bunch of Hunter ceiling fans, today, if you’re in the market for one. (Though I notice that one of them is $199, marked down from… $199. Amazon, I’m a little worried about you.)
Okay. Look; I was willing to walk away from that faux-markdown and move on, but how about a great deal on a lovely… NOT AVAILABLE? (Hello, Amazon? Put down the crack pipe. Please.) Assuming that’s actually one of those Aerogardens and not an actual NOT AVAILABLE, it’s not a bad price to have your own heirloom tomatoes all winter long.
This fire pit gets great reviews, and $110 is the lowest price I’ve seen it hit. (Though I hear that if it was NOT AVAILABLE it’d be even cheaper….)
Someone asked me last week to stop highlighting the great deal on this Earth Pan set, but you know how you use a word three times and then it’s yours? I only have to point this deal out one more time before I break down and buy myself a set. $115 is a great deal on non-stick cookware that’s not going to poison you the way Teflon supposedly will.
Fact: You could not be unhappy in a kitchen where these mixing bowls live. At $40 I’ve always sort of wistfully admired them; at today’s price of $22, I’m considering them.
If you have stand mixer lust (and really, don’t we all?) today the traditional white KitchenAid Artisan mixer is down to $230, with an available $30 rebate. Just sayin’.
Today’s Amazon Gold Box Deal is a huge variety of Corelle dinnerware sets marked down to just $18 for service for four, which is crazy. (Be sure to click through even if the pictured pattern doesn’t do it for you, because there’s 22 other choices!)
And don’t forget to get your tunes on—I can always find something I “need” in the 50 MP3 albums for just $5 each section.
Maybe they even have NOT AVAILABLE, today. That’s my favorite.

If yesterday’s deal on the Beatles Rock Band bundle didn’t do it for you—maybe you don’t need the entire band, or maybe (horrors!) you’re not a fan of the Beatles—you may want to check this one out: Right now you can buy Guitar Hero 5 from Buy.com for $70 shipped! (For comparison: It’s currently $99 at Amazon.)
If you don’t need a whole band, this wouldn’t be a bad way to go. The price is certainly right.

Apparently this whole Twilight thing isn’t going away. (I’d really sort of hoped it was. Vampires. Teenagers. Aren’t they all angsty enough without these sorts of stories…?) And to make your holiday season both merry and, um, vampire-y, Toys R Us is holding a New Moon sweepstakes with all sorts of fabulous prizes.
Your teenager will thank you.
Or maybe you’ll thank you. It doesn’t do a thing for me, but I know plenty of adults who’re fascinated with the whole saga, too. Whatever floats your boat. (Or bites your neck.)

I apologize for all of the 6pm.com deals this week. Wait; no I don’t. I’m kind of having a week, and pretty shoes make me feel better. Hopefully they’re bettering your week, too.
Today there’s Gabriella Rochas for $7, Rockports for $15, and Deer Stags for the whole family (hint: boots!). Plus other deals.
Maybe next week I’ll not need so many shoe deals, but right now, they’re an awesome distraction. You’re welcome.

Wow, in a stunning move—and for perhaps the first time since they implemented the section—I think I can declare all of today’s Target Daily Deals to be pretty awesome. They’ve got a fancy electronic chess set, a bocce set, a fire pit, a simulated sun lamp, and even some cute throw pillows. Be still, my heart!
Don’t forget—all daily deals ship for free, and if you’re buying more than $50 worth (like if you go for that chess set, which by the way has great reviews on Amazon as well as costing much more from anyone else), add the item to your cart, then click through this link to automagically get an additional $5 off.
I may need to snap up that chess set for my kid. Saves me from having to play with him, which is good, because he surpassed my chess ability right around the second time he played.

One year my husband bought me bacon salt for my birthday. Because he’s romantic. And I loved the bacon salt so, although it turns out that it’s not gluten-free, which is sad. (But it is vegetarian; go figure.)
Naturally, I still think there’s no better stocking-stuffer than bacon salt (I’m pretty sure my son would sleep with a bottle under his pillow, if we let him), so imagine my glee to see that right now Amazon is offering big savings on bacon salt products. This includes baconnaise and bacon-flavored lip balm!
Prices are already reduced; apply coupon code BACONS35 for an additional 15% off, and buy via Subscribe & Save for another 15% off. The result? Bacony goodness, on the cheap.
Mmmmm… bacon lip balm…. Oh, sorry. My inner Homer Simpson got out for a minute, there.

November 18, 2009 | Contests
Whoops, nearly forgot this, too—you have until just before midnight tonight to enter the contest to win one of two Hallmark gift cards. And if you win, when you need “just one more card” or a quick little gift, you’ll be covered.
As always, please enter on the contest post, not this post. This post is reserved for discussion of my early onset Alzheimer’s.
Wait, who are you, again?

I guess I wasn’t paying attention; but right now every order ships for free at Maidenform. That’s the good news! The bad news is that it’s only today. Whoops.
But if you are shopping today, make it even better—use coupon code 409BBQ to take 20% off your order, too. That coupon’s good through mid-December, just in case you come across this post after the free shipping has ended.
Sorry for the short notice. I guess I should shop for bras more often. (You’re welcome!)

I need to go on record as stating that the recent spate of creepy talking mannequins in the commercials for Old Navy really irritate me. There, I said it.
Their affordable clothes my kids like, however, do not annoy me at all. What a conundrum.
Through November 24th, use coupon code ONSAVE15 to take 15% off your $75+ order or 25% off of $100+. Shipping is automatically free on orders of $50+, right now, too.
Just keep your eyes on the clothes, and away from the mannequins.

We all know Kohls is synonymous with “sale,” but they do cycle through various promotions. Today is the last day for the current batch—the last day for free shipping on your $75+ order, the last day for Kohls card holders to use coupon code KCNOV15 for 15% off and code FREE4MVC to get free shipping on any size order. (Will another sale come along? Certainly. But if you want something now, there you go.) Code NEW8477 should still be working for 10% off for everyone, too.
I’ll tell you that if you’ve been thinking about a Keurig coffee maker, their current sale prices are quite good, particularly when combined with a coupon. And there’s tons of other stuff on sale, too. Obviously.
Here’s a handy tip, though: Don’t order a Keurig for your mother-in-law for Christmas and try to ship it to relatives in her hometown but somehow end up shipping it to yourself. You’re welcome. (Though maybe the universe is trying to tell me I need a Keurig…?)
