Sort of a bulk discount

Okay, after this I swear I’ll stop posting shoe deals today. Probably.

The buy one pair, get the second pair half off deal is back at Famous Footwear, so if you’ve got a couple of kids outgrowing their shoes faster than you can keep up, this may be the deal for you. Er, for them.

A bit of consolation

If you somehow managed to miss the mind-blowing special on Danskos yesterday at 6pm.com, may I humbly suggest you drown your sorrows today in their selection of Anne Klein shoes for just $25?

They won’t be as kind to your feet, it’s true. But they’re awfully pretty….

Domo Arigato, Mr. Flashlighto

I am intrigued by this Stanley Tripod Flashlight, perhaps more than I ought to be. Nevermind that it reminds me of a Transformer, with its three flashlights in one and endless configuration possibilities, or the fact that it uses long-lasting LED bulbs, or that it’s just $20 shipped from Buy.com today… no, what’s getting to me is the wee keychain replica included as a bonus. Because having a tripod light dangling from your keys just seems very mad scientist, to me.

Has fantastic reviews on Amazon, where just the main light (no bonus superspy keychain light!) will run you $30.

They just outgrew their britches

Look, you know how much I’ve been enjoying the Target Daily Deals. One-day deals with free shipping is right up my alley.

But today is the day we’ll look back upon, shaking our heads sadly, saying that this, this was the day that Target jumped the shark.

Should you be interested, there’s a pair of $80 rain boots featured today. Yeah, they’re Dr. Martens, but I’m sorry, did you hear me? Target is selling $80 rain boots.

I fear the apocalypse can’t be far behind.

Reminder: Nokia XpressMusic contest

Don’t forget—you have until just before midnight tonight to enter to win a Nokia XpressMusic phone from me. It’s red! It’s super-shiny! Very cute!

Please leave your entry comments on the contest post. Comments on this post are reserved for discussion of the very best chewy/sticky foods in the world. (My son got his braces off today; guess who’s been eating Twizzlers and candy corn and gum all afternoon?)

Happy Halloween! Don’t cross the streams!

I love the Ghostbusters movies. I’m not proud.

I had nightmares about the Stay Puft marshmallow man for years. Ah, memories.

Seriously, for $7 it’s hard to go wrong with a Ghostbusters 2-movie DVD set, isn’t it? I mean, it is kind of the season.

Now that’s planning ahead

I’m sure you’re all set for this Halloween, right? But maybe you want a costume for the dress-up chest, or you’re already thinking ahead to next year (in which case, I salute you). If that’s the case, check out the Halloween costumes on clearance at Toys ‘R’ Us.

I wouldn’t count on any of them arriving on time for this year (not with the free regular shipping, anyway), but at those prices, you might find yourself being a little more organized than usual.

Kitchens of Yummia

I hear the sweet siren song of another Amazon special on Kitchens of India products calling my name…. (Two words, baby: Butter chicken. Yum.) (Okay, I lied. That was three.)

Use coupon code KINDIA45 for 30% off, and then buy via Subscribe & Save for an additional 15% off and free shipping. (Something new I noticed they’re doing—the items which are only available as a preorder don’t have a S&S option. Still a good deal, but not quite as spectacular.)

Honestly, I’m not much for prepackaged sauces/foods most of the time; I prefer to cook from scratch. But sometimes you can’t beat the convenience, and I love the taste of all the varieties I’ve tried here. And when they run a special like this? It’s hard to beat the price.

Discover discounts at Discovery

Discovery Channel, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways: I love your geeky science shows. I love that you are preferred by the children. I love that sometimes you show me people blowing things up for no reason whatsoever.

And I love your sales on cool stuff.

Today only, save big at the Discovery Channel Store when you pick your savings: Use code SAVE10 to take $10 off your $60+ purchase, code SAVE15 for $15 off $75+, or SAVE25 for $25 off $100+. There’s plenty of items on sale already, too, not to mention that they have every DVD you could possibly want, and a slew of cool toys for the kids, too.

It’s positively geektastic. (That should totally be their slogan.)

Fancy, yet affordable

Through the end of the month, The Home Decorators Outlet is giving $25 off orders of $150+, automatically.

If you’ve not shopping HDO before, prepare to be amazed. They deal in high-quality home furnishing overstocks at an average of about 70% off. I could tell you all the things in my house that’ve come from there (helloooooo, hand-loomed wool area rug for a song!), but that would become embarrassing pretty quickly. Their quality is fabulous and their prices are totally Want Not-worthy.

Mir + HDO = BFF!
