Want Not

If you’ve been reading me for any time at all, you know that I pretty much loathe rebates. I do my best to avoid deals that hinge on rebates, because I think most rebates end up never coming. However, I’ve had a few people tell me they haven’t had difficulty with rebates at Linens ‘N’ Things, so I am going to suspend my disbelief for this particular deal. Just clicky right there on the graphic to see their assortment of Black and Decker appliances available for just $9.99 after $20 rebate. Choose from a blender, toaster oven, coffee maker, dustbuster or iron. And don’t forget to cross your fingers when sending in your rebate.

(P.S. Rebate forms can be printed directly from the site, though they won’t show as an available link until the item is in your cart.)

I know this week has been a total wash for Want Not, and I really wanted to have a triumphant return by today, but instead I am going to visit my doctor and/or curl up in a little ball and die. I’m sorry I suck this week. On the up side, I have not coughed on you or otherwise shared my germs, so there’s that.

Here: Go buy yourself something pretty at the Amazon Friday Sale. That’ll make us all feel better.

Love sporting goods? Have a little Christmas money burning a hole in your pocket? Eastbay’s Year End Clearance is going on now.

Sweeten the deal: Use coupon code EMEB6222 for an additional $10 off your order of $10+.

Most of the stuff in the outlet is 50% or more off, already. It’s a great time to scoop up a deal on some fancy sneakers or whatever.

Remember all of those flannel sheet deals at Amazon? Now you can get Pike Street flannel sheet sets in any size for just $5.99 with free Super Saver Shipping.

Sizes and colors are limited, but there’s not too bad of a selection left.

I never thought the day would come when I’d be grumbling that I’d paid too much when I spent $16 on a set of king sheets.

For those of you who love the cheapie certificates from Restaurant.com, now through December 29th you can take 70% off your total order with coupon code CHEERS.

If you’ve checked them out before and not been able to find restaurants in your area, keep in mind that merchants are added all the time; it may be worth checking back.

… there are certainly some deals to be had. I, myself, could not be paid enough to venture into a mall today, but that’s me.

If you’re headed to Macy’s, you might want this 15% off savings pass. Consider it my small and inconsequential after-Christmas gift to you.

Oh, and Target is not only 50% off on Christmas stuff today, they’ve begun their annual toy clearance at most stores. Just in case your gift closet needs replenishing.

I daresay today is the culmination of a frenzy of bargain-hunting and last-minute gift getting. Me, I’m done. Done. I’d like to take some time off from shopping and just, I don’t know, rest.

(But I would also like a maid and a billion dollars; sometimes we don’t get what we want.)

Anyway, I can’t skip the Amazon Friday Sale. I’m pretty sure that would be un-American. Besides, I flipped open the sale and beheld an omen.

That’s right. Right there—staring me in the face!—was the MIR scarf. (Hey, it’s cashmere!)

This looks interesting (great reviews and 56% off) especially for the post-sugarplum season. Nothing says “I had a merry Christmas” like shiny teeth! (Okay, that may have been reaching, just a little.)

There’s that Circulon set again, under $140 after coupon HOHOSAVE. I would tell you what I paid for my Circulon back in the day, but I don’t want to start crying. (Seriously? $140? That’s an insane deal.)

Anyway, poke around if you’re so inclined. Me, I have some wrapping to do….
