July 27, 2007 | Hot Hot Hot!

If you’ve got your eye on something at Overstock, this weekend you can take $35 off your $300 purchase through that there link.

If you’re not spending that much, you can still take 7% off your entire order (any size) through that there link through the end of July.

And if you’re not spending anything at all, well, good for you. Have a cookie.

Hot Hot Hot!

… which means we’re one step closer to the kids going back to school. That’s reason enough to celebrate, really, but the Amazon Friday Sale is the icing on the cake.

Need a one-hour battery recharger? You can’t even have too many of those, particularly if (like me) you seem to have an entire house full of devices that run on AAs.

Here’s a handy tip: A man in a Speedo is bad. A woman in a Speedo is good. You’re welcome.

I think this is adorable crib bedding, but I’ll admit I may be seduced by the word “monkey” in the title.

Need a coffee table or three?

Mmmmm, delicious floss for your dog.

Numi tea for your gift closet.

Sometimes I wonder if there’s anything left to invent, and then I see something like an inflatable hot tub and I realize people will keep coming up with stuff long after it’s useful.

I’m picturing margaritas in this blender.

I didn’t even know you could make gelato at home. But I’m willing to try.

The quesadilla maker is back on sale!

There’s more, but gosh, I am suddenly really hungry. I need to go eat some breakfast.

July 26, 2007 | Hot Hot Hot!, Contests

Many thanks to Amy for pointing me to the John Deere Easy Ride Giveaway. One grand prize winner will win an expert-guided cross-country road trip on a Harley-Davidson, plus a John Deere EZtrak Z445 riding mower.

I’d rather rip off all my fingernails than spend two weeks riding around on a motorcycle, but that mower is pretty sexy.

What?

Hot Hot Hot!, What to Wear

You’d think that eventually I’d run out of shoe deals to post, but you’d be wrong.

It’s the summer sale at ShoeBuy, and through August 6th, 2007, you can use coupon code SUMMERBLOW07 to take 20% off anything in your order (including stuff that’s already on sale).

Just in case you need a(nother) pair of shoes.

Hot Hot Hot!, Pets

I’ll admit right up front that I am not a cat person. So this made me giggle more than is strictly kind, methinks.

The feline frolic is on special at Linens ‘N’ Things today. Use coupon code JUL1907 for 20% off and get it for $11.19 shipped.

Because if you’re going to torment your cat, you should do it for less.

Hot Hot Hot!

There’s still time to squeeze in a camping trip before the kids are back to school, you know. Check out the mid-summer savings at EMS for last-minute gear, or just drop the pretense of buying for the family and snap up a pair of sandals (or pricematch them at Zappos) for yourself. What?

I’m not in the market for a chandelier, but maybe you are. Maybe you’d like this antique brass chandelier which is currently marked down to $19.66 from $99.99.

Use coupon code SAVEXTRA to take another 20% off, and if you’re an Amazon Prime member or get your total up to $25, you can ship it for free.

I dunno about you, but I think that’s a pretty nice chandelier for under $16. (And if you don’t like that one, look around; the “What do customers ultimately buy?” section further down the page links to several other deeply discounted lighting fixtures eligible for the 20% off code.)

Hot Hot Hot!, For the kids, What to Wear

… there’s a new code out for The Children’s Place: use coupon FMR77 for 25% off your entire order.

The Outlet is currently showing most things about 30% off (and pickings are kind of slim), so it’s no Monster Sale, but between that and the coupon you could certainly pick up some things for reasonable prices, if you can’t wait for the next price drop.

Hot Hot Hot!

Remember when I posted weekend savings tips and the code I posted for Classic Closeouts didn’t actually work? Whoops. That’s because it wasn’t active yet. But it is now!

So go shop their Christmas in July sale and use coupon code XMSJULY for an additional 25% off of everything. Orders over $40 always ship for free.

Sorry for jumping the gun on that one. But it’s still good savings, whether your deal mistress is a gigantic dork or not. (Yes. But, um, oh hey! Look over there! Something shiny!)

Hot Hot Hot!

Wait, what? I just meant you should drink more water, gutterbrain. Sheesh.

Maybe you’d be inspired to keep the liquids flowing with a spiffy new set of drinking glasses. Check out this Logan glassware set at Linens ‘N’ Things. You get 6 each of 3 different sizes for just $7.99.

Sweeten the deal: Use coupon code JUL1907 to take 20% off a single item. And if you ship it to your local store and pick it up, shipping is free.

And if you offer me a nice cold lemonade, I will totally come to your house to drink out of your new glasses.
