Want Not

Did you know that your local Starbucks sells coffee machines? I had no idea. But they do! And apparently they’ve just marked this little baby here down to $99 (half price). It’s not available online, but call or visit your local shop(s) to see if they have any.

The forum where I read about it was reporting that if only the display model is left, Starbucks is selling those for $75. And with any coffee machine purchase, they should be giving you a free pound of their coffee, as well.

Now, I know $99 is a bit steep for many readers here, but this is a commercial-quality espresso machine. An excellent deal if you’re a true coffee snob. (I’ll confess that if my husband drank coffee I’d be trying to find a way to justify this, but with me as the only coffee-hound in the house I just can’t do it.)

My hair always needs rescuing. In fact, I’m not sure… it may actually be a lost cause. But if this stuff 1) is free and 2) claims to rescue hair, who am I to argue?

I’m still adjusting to living in a college town. For one thing, I feel very old a lot of the time. Those darn whippersnappers are everywhere! For another, parking is a nightmare. Hmph.

But I’ve just discovered Campus Special, and now I’m feeling much more kindly towards all of those students. Because there are hundreds of online coupons I can print out and use around here, and as we all know, I likes me some coupons.

Not all colleges/universities participate, of course, but if you live in a college town, check it out. Savings may be just a click away!

You never know when you’re going to be hit by a bus and people are going to see those saggy, baggy, pitiful stretched-elastic panties you’ve been meaning to throw out. Think about it.

Right now at Jockey you can take 25% off your order with coupon code SUMMER7. The code is valid through September 30th, 2007, so you have plenty of time to figure out what to buy.

Just please, throw those old ones away already.

Now through September 5th, 2007, if you shop at Smartbargains, you can take $25 off your $50+ purchase at checkout if you pay via Paypal.

You probably have some Paypal laying around, anyway. And what’s not to like about taking half off?

Sometimes I wonder if Amazon employs people whose job it is purely to monitor their sales trends and then put stuff on clearance when it’s not selling well. Because honestly I can see no other explanation for things like this beauty right here.

Regardless, they’ve already started their big Labor Day Kitchen and Home Sale over there, and there’s actually some good stuff on sale. And also, um, cat toilets. So you know, something for everyone.
