Want Not

Alert and pretty reader Mariea reminded me that they’re having a Wacky Wednesday over at Thing Fling. It’s a new item every 10 minutes, shipping included in the price.

I hope you didn’t have anything else you needed to do today….

There’s nothing furry in the JC Penney Wednesday Sale today, but there are some cute curtain rods and tiebacks for a nursery, if you’re in the market for that sort of thing.

Or maybe you want them for your own room. I don’t judge. (C’mon, at least one of you has an alligator-themed master bedroom. I can tell.)

I like to cook. I am a seat-of-the-pants cook, which means I often throw open the fridge, behold the ingredients within, and then type some of those things into Google along with “recipe” and take whatever it gives me and cross my fingers as I head back to the kitchen.

Oftentimes I’ll be cruising along with a recipe and it will say “line the pan with parchment paper” and I’ll think “Parchment paper? Who has that laying around?” And I continue on without it. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it, uh, doesn’t.

But rather that just buy some parchment paper, being me, I’ll first try some for free. That way I’ll know whether I should buy some. Or something.

Have you been looking for a deal on memory? I have no idea what sorts of devices take the new micro-SD cards, because I’m not quite that geeky, but I do know that if I needed another SD card—say, for my digital camera—and I could get something like the Kingston 2GB micro SD Secure Digital Card w/ Full Size SD Adapter for under $22 shipped, I’d probably go ahead and get that, because then if later I bought something requiring one of those tiny little cards, I’d be all set.

Also, I paid more than this for the last 1GB SD card I bought, which was just a plain ol’ card, no micro or adapter involved. I am going over here to sulk in the corner, now.

I am suffering a huge craving right now, but unfortunately this deal isn’t available to me. Alas.

Today, September 25th, 2007, Buffalo Wild Wings restaurants are offering $.25 wings to celebrate their 25th anniversary. Find yourself a local restaurant here and then go have a few wings for me, wouldja?

Alert (and pretty; don’t forget pretty!) reader Jamie noticed that over at Overstock, you can get a free pearl necklace right now. And it looks like the O-Day thing is still going on (for another few hours, anyway), which means shipping is just a buck.

Are they top-quality pearls? Probably not. Will they be worth a dollar? I think so. Enjoy! (Thanks, Jamie!)

Through the end of September, you can still get free shipping on your $75+ order at Smartbargains through that there link.

They just sent me an email claiming that they’re into the final days for markdowns on a bunch of stuff, and I’m trying to work up some enthusiasm, really, but after those markdowns expire there will be something else, I’m pretty sure. Regardless, I only shop there when they run free shipping, so maybe someone will be happy to have the link.

So, I don’t know if anyone scooped up the brewing kit that was in the Friday Sale last week, but if you did—or even if you didn’t, and just have a beer aficionado on your hands—you might want a free issue of All About Beer magazine, too.

Also, I’d buy a bag or two of pretzels. Just sayin’.
