Our founding fathers would’ve approved of a well-made bed, I’m sure of it. So hop on over to Domestications, because today (June 30th) is the last day to use coupon code D8FJ15AFF to take $15 off your $100+ order. There’s a ton of new inventory in the clearance section to celebrate the upcoming holiday.
They have more than quilts, of course. All kinds of, um, domestic stuff. Check it out.

My husband and I married two years ago and just pooled our vast collections of cookware into one set (giving away a lot of unnecessary cookware that was duplicated) that had pretty much everything we needed. We are now at the point where our “set” has become a bit worn out and is less useful that it previously was. We are looking for a new set that has the basics (skillets and pots of varying sizes–with lids, which is important to us), but we don’t know where to look for a good deal or what brands have a tendency to last the longest. We aren’t willing to spend hundreds and hundreds on a set just yet, but we also don’t want to buy something that will wear out in just a few short years.
Do you have any recommendations on what to buy—and where to look for a deal?
This is one of my favorite topics, because I love to cook and I (of course) love finding great deals on cooking essentials. Jess is speaking my language! (more…)
Many thanks to pretty, pretty Jill for alerting me to this one: If you go to Suze Orman’s Will & Trust Kit site and enter code people first, you’ll get a free activation code. Then you can download her kit and make your own will.
I’ll add just one caveat: This is better that not having a will. Better still, though, is getting some actual legal advice, too. Just sayin’.
Sure, you’ve got the entire series of Buffy the Vampire Slayer on DVD, but do you have the Firefly boxed set?
4 DVDs: $16.99 (and free Super Saver Shipping eligible).
Being able to claim ultimate Whedon fan geekitude: Priceless!
Remember how your mother said never to leave the house in ratty underwear, because what if you were in a car accident or something? You’re mother’s neurotic, but you still deserve nice underthings. Particularly (men, look away) nice bras, with functional elastic. Most women I know cling to old bras as if they were too precious to give up, and I am here to tell you that it’s okay, you’re allowed to buy new ones. Really.
Anyway, there’s a big Summer Sale at Figleaves right now, which means you can score some great deals on underthings, swimwear, and maybe even some lovely loungewear.
Make it even better: Ship your order for free with coupon code ADORE. Maybe put the savings towards a little something you don’t need so much as just want. Just a suggestion, of course.
Good morning, pretties! The 4th of July sales are already starting up, so there are plenty of deals to be had this weekend….
The History Channel has over 150 DVDs and books on clearance, making ideal gifts for those hard-to-buy-for folks who watch weird documentaries. And stuff. (Hey, I don’t judge; I love the History Channel.)
All weekend long, take $10 off your $100+ purchase at Overstock, through that there link.
Out of vitamins? The Buy 1 Get 2 Free sale at Puritan’s Pride is back, and even better, you can ship your entire order for just $.76 through July 5th, 2008.
Just in time for the holiday, The Children’s Place has a new 15% off all $75+ orders coupon—use code MSAT78 and enjoy the savings through July 5th, 2008.
Old Navy’s done their first big Summer markdown, and you can save up to 50% (as well as enjoy that whole 1-cart thing amongst their various stores, which just confuses me). Also, today only all flip flops are just a buck a pair (limit 5 pairs per purchase).
Spent $75+ at Kohls and your entire order will ship for free, but even if you don’t, $.99 shipping per item is back. Kohls card holders can use coupon code JUN15OFF to take off an additional 15%, too. No Kohls card? No problem—everyone can use code NEW3171 to take 10% off.
That should keep you busy for a while. Have fun!
This week just flew by. Possibly because I wasn’t spending the entire time applying plaster to a never-ending wall. Hey… I think I’ve just discovered how to make time fly—do something wretched for a while, and then stop. No need to thank me!
And to make my week even better, here comes the Amazon Friday Sale. Hello, Gorgeous!
I would like a house that has sinks like this one. Someone get on that for me, would you?
Wow, here’s the most useful Friday Sale deal I’ve seen in a while: Sigg bottles a bit rich for your blood (or want some cheaper extras)? Check out these stainless steel sports bottles starting at $7.99 and free shipping eligible.
I’m intrigued by this set of steak knives (even though there aren’t any reviews available) because it’s marked down to $10.99 and is eligible for the 4-for-3 promotion. You could get 16 knives for $33 shipped, which seems like it’d be a great deal if they’re any good.
This thing scares the bejeezus out of me. (Yes, that is the technical term.)
This is a great price on the Panasonic Vortex wet/dry shaver, if you’ve been wanting one. It’s $92.41, so also throw this little trimmer into your cart to get your Panasonic purchases over $99, and then you can use coupon code PANAJUN8 to save another $30!
if you like Honey Nut Cheerios, you’ll probably like the Kashi version, which is healthier and also 6 boxes for $15.
Don’t forget about the Friday Five, either. Five albums for just $5 each; it’s a great way to fill up your iPod on the cheap.
Have a great day, everyone!
Hello, all of you pretty, game-playing people! Did you enjoy the latest contest to win great Wiggity Bang games? I know that I did. I enjoy the suspense, you know. And because this contest has six winners of three different prizes, it was a really action-packed selection process. 415 entries, and here are the results:
Commenters Michele D (189) and Emily (15) were the first two numbers drawn, and they’ll be receiving FlapDoodle and Quelf, respectively. Because they didn’t choose the same game, I was able to again draw a pair of numbers, which led to Angela (56) and Chris (294) both winning Whizizzle Phonics sets. Then came the hard part: Drawing numbers one at a time to give away the remaining copies of FlapDoodle and Quelf. After many presses of the button, I finally ended up with Judy Brittle (363) winning FlapDoodle and Heather (327) taking the last game, Quelf.
Winners, check your email! I’ll need your mailing addresses, as I left my psychic abilities in my other pants!
Everyone else: Please remember that I am an absolute stickler for the rules, and if I say you must tell me which one game you want and you name two, you will be disqualified. I drew many, many numbers that led to folks who didn’t follow the rules and therefore didn’t win. Another rule is that you must leave a valid email address—I have a regular reader/commenter (you know who you are) who uses a dummy address and guess what, I drew your number and really wanted you to take that prize, but… you were disqualified because I have no way to email you. That made me sad. Just sayin’.
Many, many thanks to the kind folks at Wiggity Bang for donating the prizes, and to all who played (yes, even those of you who have trouble following directions). Nothing makes my shriveled little heart grow three sizes like giving away free stuff, people. Stay tuned for more contests, because I think I’m addicted to them.
The big clearance at CompanyKids is still going on, and now it’s even better because you can use coupon code AFFGK08 to take off another 10%.
Offer is valid through July 6th, 2008, and there are some Valentine treat bags in the sale section that are so cute my teeth immediately started to crumble. In case you like that sort of thing.
I know it’s not particularly creative or new, but I do love to give a nice collection of tea as a gift. It’s an ideal all-purpose offering; it’s relatively small and odorless (I’m looking at you, scented candles), it’s the sort of thing that most folks will enjoy and even those who won’t can then offer it to their guests, and it’s neither overly hippie-ish with the so-healthy vibe nor so decadent that it may be misconstrued by someone either on a diet or following a healthy lifestyle.
So these eligible Bentley tea chests
Or pick up one for yourself. I don’t judge.
