(Try saying that 10 times fast, I dare you.)
Okay, first you want to go to Home Decorators Outlet and then you want to search on 42163. Then you want to go, “Sweet merciful heavens, that is a really gorgeous wrought-iron pot rack for just $7.99!”
You then want to use coupon code 8577920 for 15% off, because it’s not a lot but why not, right? And then you can grumble a little bit about the $9.99 shipping being more than the item itself, but that’s still a heckuva deal.
Then you want to tell me how happy you are with your new, cheap pot rack.

Dude, it’s Think About Becoming A Vegetarian Day!
Oh, wait. That’s not it.
Actually, it’s Free Hot Dog on a Stick Day! (Same thing.) If that sounds good, find a location near you and go enjoy your free dog between 5 and 8 tonight.
(I’m going to stick to bacon. It’s just as bad for me, but at least I know which part of the animal it is.)

Psssssst! You know what I think Dad would really like for his special day? He is totally jonesing for a Remanufactured Scooba
at just $159 shipped. (Again, if you haven’t done the Google Checkout thing, yet, you can save another $10 on top of that.)
Okay, maybe your dad doesn’t really want that. But your husband? Remember that time he gave you a blender? Yeah.

Hey, I know it’s summer and many of us have forsaken oatmeal for cooler breakfast options. Me, I’ll eat oatmeal year-round, because it is full of delicious carbs fiber and I do love me some carbs fiber. Ahem. Anyway.
Throughout the month of June, you can stock up on eligible McCann’s products
at Amazon and save. First of all, if you haven’t had their steel-cut oatmeal, you are missing out. Second, if your kids insist on the insta-envelopes (mine do), their instant oatmeal is far superior to Quaker and the like, too. You’ll notice that all their oatmeal products are around 40% off, already, but then if you spend $29+ you can take $10 off with coupon code OATMEAL5. This makes even the single-serving packets much cheaper than even the best sale at the local supermarket.
They have some bread mixes in there, too, which are also full of delicious carbs fiber. In case you prefer that.

I could really use that. If I had somewhere to put it, that is. Has anyone seen my desk?

(Well, it’s not your last chance ever, but your last chance before the weekend.)
It’s Super Tuesday at Jos. A. Bank! That means everything except shoes is 40% off. Very nice. And they’re offering free shipping through noon on June 14th, 2007, too.
Quick, go buy Dad something pretty! Er, manly! And let him think you spent a bundle! It’ll be our secret.

Mmmmm, a sale at Lands’ End. That’s almost as good as finding a really awesome pair of shoes. Better, maybe, because you might find shoes and other stuff!
Here’s what to check out:
There’s a great selection of must-have summer kids’ clothes
on sale right now. All the stuff you already know and love, discounted before the season ends.
And that’s in addition to the Blowout Specials in the Outlet
going on right now, with savings up to 65%.
Shipping at Lands’ End is extremely reasonable, and remember that if you need to return anything, you can do it at your local Sears store if you’d rather not pay to ship it back. (Not that I’ve ever actually returned any wonderful thing I’ve ordered from Lands’ End, except that one time I had a total senior moment and ordered a bedskirt instead of a bedspread. Whoops.)

Yes indeed, it’s time for another Restaurant.com coupon! Just in time for the onslaught of “Uh oh, I forgot to do something nice for Dad” thoughts. You’re welcome!
So. Use coupon code DAD through June 17th, 2007, and you’ll get 50% off your order. That’s a $25 dining certificate for just $5! Plus, throughout the month of June, any Restaurant.com order will have a $15 Lobster Gram credit added in completely free of charge.
Cheap food and discounted lobsters. Really, thow in some golf, and you’re good to go.

You know I’ll take savings where I can find them, but this still makes me giggle.
Guess what! Macy’s is having their big One Day Sale
right now! Lowest prices of the season and all that you would expect therein. That’s great, right?
This One Day Sale will run today (June 12th, 2007) and tomorrow (June 13th, 2007).
I know math was never my best subject, but I’m pretty sure that’s two days.

You may remember that while back I wrote a bit about picking a digital picture frame as an example of trying to balance quality vs. savings on electronics.
One thing I think I cannot stress enough is that you should always read the reviews when making a decision. Sometimes the cheaper option is really pretty good. Sometimes it’s not worth it at even half the price. Do your research.
That said: Today’s Deal of the Day at Buy.com is a Coby 7″ digital photo frame for $74.99 with free shipping. The reviews are great, the shipping is free, and if you’re new to Google Checkout (really, have you still not joined?) you can save another $10 on top of that.
If Google Checkout isn’t an issue, you also have the option of getting the same thing at Amazon
for the same price. Just in case you have a merchant preference. (Great reviews there, too.)
(I’m sitting on my hands here, people. Must not shop anymore until after my move.)
