Another way to shop and ship it for free: Through the end of today (July 31st, 2007) you can ship any size order for free at Classic Closeouts by using coupon code FLIPSHIP.
There’s all sorts of good stuff on sale, of course. If you’ve lost your tape measure (I have no idea where mine has gotten to, but I think I haven’t seen it since I moved) you might want to pick up this 16-foot tape measure
for $2.99. That’s, um, less than $.19 a foot!

Do your shopping, then pick the coupon that saves you the most. It makes it into a little adventure, see?
Start by heading over to Chadwick’s, then see which of these yields the greatest savings:
CH99SHIPPING gives you $.99 shipping on your entire order (thanks, Nani!).
CHAUG1 takes 10% off your first item, 20% off the second, and 25% off the third.
CHAUG3 takes $25 off your order of $200+.
Go do me proud.

As if the prices there weren’t low enough already, today (July 31st, 2007) only you can save an additional 15% off your order in the Disney Shopping Outlet by using coupon code OUTLET15.
I generally try to avoid heavily-branded items, preferring not to plaster various characters and whatnot all over my kids. But some of the stuff they have at Disney is so cute (and so cheap) that I can’t help it….

Free K’Nex bricks, that is.
Go to this page and sign up to receive a free sample of K’Nex bricks, courtesy of Six Flags theme parks.
I don’t know why they’re doing, I just know that pretty Mallory sent it along and free is my favorite price.
Please remind me of this when I’m stepping on and vacuuming up these bricks in a few months, mkay? Thanks.

As you gear up for your final shopping trips to get the kids ready to face another year of academia, you may want to consult this handy list of tax-free shopping days if you live in a state with sales tax on things like clothes.

My kids have begged for the various Doodle Bear products for years, and I’ve never gotten them any, because the prices have always completely mystified me. Now they’re (theoretically) a bit old for them, but they still think they’re the neatest things ever. Probably because the idea of drawing on their toys without getting into trouble is so appealing.
Anyway! Need a Doodle Bear? Check out these markdowns at Boscov’s:
The Secret Stylin Doodle Bear
is down to $4.99 from $27.99.
The Magic Glow Doodle Bear
is also down to $4.99 from $27.99.
And the Dazzlin Make-over Doodle Bear
is down to $4.99 from $17.99.
Unfortunately, shipping is a flat $9.95 at Boscov’s regardless of the size of your order—good for buying furniture, not so great for buying little bears unless you’re buying a bunch. But if you’re looking to stock up or are buying other stuff as well, it’s a great deal.
Right up until your kid starts coloring on the furniture. Hey, don’t say I didn’t warn you.

Shopping for school supplies? Go ahead and print out this 12% off coupon for Staples before you head out.

Yeah, I know there’s always a big sale happening at Kohls, but with the start of school creeping up on us, you might be interested to know that their school uniform pieces are 30% off. They’re also doing free shipping on your $75+ order, which is always handy, because their regular shipping rates are robbery.
Sweeten the deal with a coupon:
NEW9658 gives 10% off to everyone (expires August 4th, 2007)
MVCTAKE15 gives 15% off with your Kohls card (expires August 11th, 2007)
I like shopping Kohls in person, but at this time of year the store always looks like a bomb hit it. It’s so much easier to shop from home, order a couple of different sizes (which helps get me up to free shipping), and then return the extras at the store at my leisure. Just sayin’.

Many thanks to pretty reader Sabrina for sending in this one: Take a look at this cute duffle bag for the kids. Comes in either pastel or primary colors, and is currently 80% off and just $2.99! This looks like it’d be good for overnights or hauling sports gear.
Sabrina also mentions that coupon code FAMILYFUN will take another 15% off your order. And suddenly she’s looking even prettier.
