There’s just a few days left to enjoy the big savings at Puritan’s Pride, so if you need vitamin or supplements or eye of newt, get on it. (Just kidding. They’re all out of eye of newt.) You only have through March 31st, 2008 to Buy 1, Get 2 Free of Doctor’s Trust Vitamins
, and to get free shipping on orders of $50+ 
.
You have been looking a little peaked lately, you know. I mean, still pretty and everything, but take care of yourself, okay?

The title says it all; for a limited time, enjoy free shipping on your $75+ order at Kohls automatically, whether or not you’re a Kohls card holder.
There’s currently a big two-day sale on, now, but we all know there’ll be another sale along after that one, so, whatever. If you need something, it’s as good a time to shop as any, I suppose.
(Side note: With the rising cost of gas, I find myself becoming unreasonably excited about these free shipping deals. When you look at the savings in the context of saving yourself a trip to the store? It really adds up.)

Through March 31st, 2008, Buy.com customers can take 6% off non-download music purchases by going through that link right there. If you’ve had your eye on a certain CD, now might be the time to swoop in and snap it up.
I find this puzzling, as all of my music comes from my husband’s (vast) CD collection or iTunes, but I hear kids today do still go out and purchase CDs. Oh well—might as well get ‘em on sale, then.

There is little in this world I love more than fresh bread. (Except chocolate. And bacon. And possible the smell of a baby’s head. But other than that, I mean.) I try to keep my bread baking to a minimum because I will happily devour all I bake, but I love the process, too—kneading dough is a great way to get out frustration!
Lots of my friends tell me they’d love to bake their own bread, but simply don’t have time. I get that. And thus enters the market for breadmakers, bringing with it a huge array of choices and options. Looking for a sturdy basic breadmaker? How about this Sunbeam programmable breadmaker from Circuit City? It’s currently $37.99 with free shipping. (For comparison purposes: The same model is $44.38 at Amazon.) This one isn’t quite as sexy as that big Breadman we kept seeing deals on a while back, but it has great reviews, will get the job done, and the price is certainly right.

… and that means it’s time for even bigger savings at Restaurant.com! Yep, through March 31st, 2008, you can take 60% off your purchase with coupon code GENIUS. (Because you are, you know. Also, you’re pretty.)
Snap up those $25 certificates for just $4, and let the good times roll. Just a warning, though—you’ll be out of excuses for why you can’t go out on a date, now. Even once you pay the sitter, this is cheaper than just the meal alone. What are you waiting for?

I have a confession to make. I… am afraid of my garden.
We moved here last summer, you know, and so I waved my hands and declared it too late to plant anything. Fiddle dee dee, I said! (Well, not really.) Next year, I said!
But now it’s next year and I don’t know if you’ve ever been to Georgia, but I find myself pining for the nice sandy loam I had in New England. The ground here is made of clay. Weeding requires a Herculean effort. I’m not sure I have the stamina to actually plant anything. And don’t even get me started on what this lovely red clay is doing to my children’s clothes.
Nevertheless, every March my thoughts turn to all the wonderful things I could plant, and I find myself thumbing through the nursery catalogs with a glint in my eye. Here—maybe I could plant vicariously, through you! That’s it! Go check out the Spring Hill Nursery One Cent Sale, why don’t you. Every plant in that category is buy one, get the second for a penny. Perfect. Plus, you can make it even sweeter: through March 26th, 2008 (that’s tomorrow), use coupon code 414465 to take $20 off your $20+ order. Order $20 worth and just pay shipping ($7.95).
And then send me a picture of your garden. Please.

Having some cereal for breakfast? If you go fill out this form, you could be having Total Cranberry Crunch for breakfast someday soon, for free. (Yeah, it’s just a sample. But did I mention that it’s free? The only thing I like better than “free” is “free food.”)
Some days it really doesn’t take much to make me happy, you know.

Okay, so, I posted that last deal and it died just about five minutes later. Hmph. Darn Amazon on their “price adjustments.” Let’s see how long this one lasts:
Need a set of bunk beds? How about these Powell Ontario pine twin bunk beds for $139. Shipping is $33.09, which still renders the whole thing over $400 cheaper than Amazon’s regular price.
Okay, someone time how quickly this one disappears, now. Heh.

(Sorry, sorry, I went on a field trip with my daughter’s class this morning, and so have fallen down on my duties here. Will catch up this afternoon! Promise!)
Okay, so, I am sort of in love with these Oneida round retro leaves dishes, and that link there takes you to a service for 8 that’s marked down to just $29.99 with free Super Saver Shipping. That’s a great deal on a set of stoneware, if you’re in the market for dishes and like those.
But wait (she said in her best Ginsu announcer voice)—there’s more! Buy those dishes, or indeed any Oneida service for 8, and you can get a Sasaki envy green 18-inch art glass platter for free using coupon code DZY3GJ3G. I don’t know if that platter is something I’d spend the current $59.99 on (oh wait, yes I do: No), but I’d take it for free, sure.
Check ‘em out if you’re so inclined.

I promised you more contest goodness and I would not lie to you, pretty ones. You know how I love giving things away.
In fact, I love it so much, I’ve been extending my giftiness (totally a word) to other places in the blogosphere. Oh yes. Why, I recently insisted that one of my employers give some stuff away because I am all about sharing the love! And free stuff! So you have all week to go visit me over at Ty’s Toy Box and leave a comment for a chance to win one of five exclusive Noddy and Mr. Men/Little Miss prize packs. C’mon, you know you want to.
Also, I’ll of course be giving away something right here. Meet Alice of In a Blue Room, brought to you by author Jim Averbeck and illustrator Tricia Tusa. Alice can only sleep in a blue room, which is potentially bad news for her parents, I suppose, but excellent news for those of us who love a beautifully illustrated children’s book. The publisher’s recommendation is for ages 4-8, but I’m going to say it’s really best for more like 2-6. Regardless, it’s a gorgeous book and a sweet story, and I have a hardcover copy sitting right here on my desk, hoping to go to a home with little kids (”This is a nice book,” commented my daughter, “for babies,” she concluded, lest I somehow damage her tween cred because she’d expressed anything other than disdain, at first.)
For a chance to win this copy of In a Blue Room, you know what to do: leave a comment on this post by 11:59 p.m. on Wednesday, March 26th, 2008. One comment per person, please. Winner to be determined by random drawing and how many licks it takes to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop.
Go!
