Want Not

Panera Bread is offering free coffee all day long today (January 28th, 2009), as well as samples of their new breakfast items.

And here I find myself with the eternal conundrum: Is free coffee worth getting dressed? Decisions, decisions….

Once upon a time I got a wireless mouse for my computer, and now I am completely ruined for regular mice. The cord! It’s so binding! It gets in my way! I gotta be free, man!

Or maybe it’s just that my desk is always such a mess, anyway, going cordless is just one less thing for me to worry about; I can use my mouse in whatever tiny sliver of clear desk space I can find. And I love being able to tuck a mouse into my briefcase to use with my laptop, too.

I’m loving this Targus wireless rechargeable laser mouse at Buy.com—it’s only $9.99 shipped, and you don’t even have to worry about replacing the batteries! Just plug it into your computer via USB to charge it up.

Hey, the less time I have to spend looking for batteries, the more time I can spend trying to clear off all this junk on my desk….

I really need to stop looking at the daily special at 6pm.com. Franco Sarto shoes for under $30? I mean, sure, technically I don’t need any shoes, but c’mon….

Just sharing the temptation love. Yup.

Jelly Bellies are one of those things I never buy for myself, but I love to get as a gift. They delight me. Candy that tastes like popcorn! Candy that tastes like… everything! I just think they’re fun.

Anyway, right now at the Jelly Belly Store, place any order of $25+ and you can use coupon code CUPID to receive a free bonus—a 10-flavor Valentine’s Day gift box sampler. It’s only 4.25 ounces, but it’s a nice little free bonus if you’re buying that special person in your life some gourmet beans.

Like, a present for them, a snack for you. Whatever. You deserve it!

If you need to stock up on office-type products, or if—as I often do—you just want to reap the discounted prices to buy household items in bulk—you have through the end of this month (just this week) to choose your savings at Office Depot. Choose $20 Off $125, $40 off $200, or $75 off $300! Clicking through will give you the codes to use online—where all orders of $50+ ship for free and usually next-day—or the ability to print out for in-store use.

I’m going to stock up on packing tape and padded mailers. And paper towels. Lots and lots of paper towels.

Wow, my life is positively thrilling, I know.

Last night it was the Wii Fit (still in stock this morning!), and now you can go scoop up a Wii console at Amazon if you’ve been waiting on that, too.

Maybe production is finally coming up to meet demand…? Or maybe most of America has one by now?

Hey, guess what time it is. Go on—guess! If you guessed that it’s time for another Restaurant.com promotion, you are so right, and also very pretty.

Through January 31st, use coupon code SUPER at Restaurant.com to take 70% off your purchase and receive a special bonus. The end result is that a $25 gift certificate will only cost you $3, plus you’ll receive a $15 gift card for Dale and Thomas Popcorn, as well!

Where else can you get $40 worth of delicious eats for $3? That’s right, nowhere.
