It seems silly to even imagine that you could possibly need more clearance toys after the madness at Amazon this month, but far be it from me to judge. Who knows. And just in case your gift closet still has a few holes, well, Target has just marked down a slew of toys, and maybe there’s something in there you need.
You’ll end up paying shipping, of course, but just in case there’s something in there you have to have (that’s 75% off!), I thought it was worth mentioning.
I suspect I’m not actually hip enough to wear clothes from Banana Republic, and I know I’m not wealthy enough to shop their regular prices (ahem), but the winter sale is on right now so we’re going to overlook that first item.
Want to save enough more? Coupon code BREXTRA20 will take an extra 20% off the already-reduced sale prices. Score!
(Also: Am I the only one who cannot even browse the BR sight without hearing “The urban sombrero” and related Seinfeld mockery in my head? Okay, just me, then? Carry on.)
Hey, remember how we all got a free Amazon Prime trial a while back, and have been enjoying frenetic holiday shopping with all the benefits of free shipping, ever since?
Well, that trial is going to expire on January 15th, assuming y’all signed up the same day I did. Just two weeks left to enjoy it. So sad.
Except it’s not sad, because I have great news: Traditionally, Amazon Prime trials have only been open to customers who’ve never had them before. However, right now you can sign up for another 3-month trial, even if you’ve had it before. (Thanks, Corey, for giving me the heads up!)
Now, you cannot renew an existing Prime membership, nor do I know how long this particular offer will last, so here in the age of umpteen million email addresses, I’ll just suggest you go ahead and sign up with an address other than the one that currently has 2 weeks left on its membership. (And let’s face it; most of us had to use an alternate address for the current trial, on account of we’d had free Prime last year and weren’t eligible on that address again.)
Got all that? Good. Here’s what you do:
1) Go add this book to your cart (using the account you want to sign up with). Don’t worry, you’re not buying it.
2) Go to checkout and find the big “Get it with two-day shipping and a free trial of Amazon Prime” offer, and click that.
3) Sign up for Prime as directed.
4) Don’t complete checkout, unless you really need another copy of Pride and Prejudice.
Voila, three more months of Prime for free. Don’t forget to go into “My Account” and then “Manage Prime Membership” to turn off the auto-renew so that you won’t be charged in three months, too.
Enjoy!
Hey, look at that. I abandoned you all afternoon. I’m terribly sorry. Except that I’m not all that sorry, because I got a cashmere sweater for 70% off while I was out, and I’m disgustingly, gloatingly pleased with myself. So.
As a reminder, though, don’t forget that you have until just before midnight tonight to enter to win coupons for free Red Baron pizza, so get your entry in before the deadline if you want to win.
If you don’t want to win free pizza, I guess we could just talk about my new sweater, instead….
I have to go tend to some Very Important Things today, by which I of course mean that I am going to step foot in a store (in the name of good clearance) for the first time since well before Thanksgiving. Please pray for me.
While I’m gone, here’s some daily deals for you:
The $7 Polliwalks are back at 6pm.com, not to mention that their “36 Days of Joy” deal is an adorable women’s blazer I may have to have. There’s plenty of other deals to be had there, too, of course.
The Target Daily Deals include a shoe shine kit for $10, which is the sort of thing I always wonder why we don’t have, but I never think to buy. Huh.
I always see fruit scoops at the store and think they’re adorable and then I never buy them because they seem overpriced. Well, today at Graveyard Mall you can get a set of three for $1.99 shipped—they’re offering free shipping on the fruit scoops only, so I’m guessing they have an entire warehouse of them. Whatever; it’s three fun kitchen gadgets (dare I mention, these would be good stocking stuffers for next year…?) for under $2.
And last but certainly not least, Amazon’s Gold Box Deal today is a Duracell power inverter/air compressor combo for half off. Of course the Lightning Deals in Toys are still going strong, so there’s a few things to watch over there, too.
That should keep you busy for a little while, right? Enjoy!
Been looking for a deal on the Star Wars prequel films? No problem! Right now Amazon has the Star Wars Prequel Trilogy available on DVD for just $21.49 shipped. (Ships for free with Prime, or free Super Saver Shipping on $25+.)
That’s a lot of Jedis for not too much cash. I’m pretty sure Yoda would approve.
Weren’t a couple of you asking for deals on window coverings before the holidays…? I seem to remember that. Though I may have imagined it, because that happens sometimes. But one of you… a small, green person in a flying saucer… wanted new blinds, right?
(Kidding! Pretty sure it was someone purple!)
Anyway, you have through January 4th to shop at Blinds Galore and save big; use coupon code CHEERS30 to save 30% on all Comfortex products, or use coupon code CHEERS25 to save 25% on everything else! Both coupons will give you free shipping, too.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: I used Blinds Galore the last time we got new blinds and their customer service was outstanding. I would use them again in a heartbeat. I like our new blinds, too.
If you shopped during the last round of Kohls cash, now’s the time to go spend it! Right now the Kohls Clearance is practically full, plus there’s sales aplenty.
Standard $.99 shipping on each item, right now, or coupon code NOCHARGE is still working for Kohls charge card holders for free shipping on any size order. EXTRA20 should work for another 20% off, too.
I spy with my little eye a bunch of deals on baby sleepers in the Carters section….
Um, I lied. I do not, in fact, have a pear tree.
What I do have is this: Through the end of the month (which is fast approaching), shipping is still free at Crocs.com. And if you shop the Crocs Outlet, you can buy one pair and get another one free. But even better, you can also use coupon code MYCOUP20 for another 20% off, meaning that in some cases you can get two pairs of Crocs shipped for about $8. Craziness.
And summer will come again, someday. You’ll be ready.
Today is the 4th Day of Joy (that is, 4th from the end of their 36-day promo) over at 6pm.com, and that means that today only you can scoop up Bass saddle shoes for your little man for just under $10 apiece.
Is there anything cuter than a little boy in saddle shoes? I say no. Except maybe for this surprised kitten, and I don’t think you can wear her on your feet.
