Want Not

Ooga booga! That’s me, getting you in the mood for a scary evening. It’s not hard to do, because I have some pretty impressive bedhead at the moment….

Anyway, how about a little treat? Just go to this page on Amazon and enter code STUDENT3. That’s $3 towards MP3 downloads, and sure to give more joy and less remorse than a fun-size Snickers bar. Enjoy!

(Code must be redeemed today or tomorrow, so go ahead and use it.)

Hello from the wilderness! Today I have a bonus handy tip for you: When your child assures you fifteen times that she has packed everything she needs, Mother, and then discovers at 9:30 at night in the woods that she doesn’t have a contact lens case, a segmented pill container makes a decent stand in. You’re welcome!

I will not be shopping today, but that doesn’t mean you can’t. Let’s take a look.

Amazon is doing a clothing clearance, with eligible items being reduced another 20% in your cart at checkout. Remember that Amazon is now offering free returns on clothing, which makes shopping them more convenient than ever.

Also at Amazon, if you spend $25+ on these eligible Mattel preschool games, $10 will be taken off at checkout. (Related: Not the most bargain-basement price, but the new Lego board games are proving difficult to find, and Amazon has Lego Creationary in stock for about $28.)

This weekend you can also save extra at Aeropostale and P.S. from Aeropostale—just use coupon code 20OFF80 to take $20 off your $80+ order through Sunday night.

I think that 6pm.com is trying to tell me something. Today’s featured deals are 60% off toning shoes and 75% off walking shoes. Hrmph.

Out of Restaurant.com certificates? You have through the weekend to use code TREAT for 80% off your order—that’s $25 of dining for a cool $2—and you’ll also get a bonus $20 code for Mrs. Fields! Sweet.

Don’t forget to check out your local Groupon deal for today, too, and click around to see some national deals. I’m afraid that I need to go actually pay some attention to my family today (and actually, you know, do camping things) so I’m going to have to leave you to it.

Have a fabulous day, and remember: Check your shoes before you put them on. Oh, wait. That’s probably only necessary if you’re camping. Nevermind!

Hey hey, all ready for Halloween this weekend? (Say no. We still aren’t.) No reason you can’t scope out a few bargains while you’re figuring out if you can turn your kid into a Transformer with a few milk jugs….

The Amazon Friday Sale has the standard coffee overload, again, today… but also a General Foods International 6-pack for just $6.80 when you buy via Subscribe & Save. I don’t drink that stuff, but that’s a great price if you do.

Today’s Amazon Gold Box holds a 55-inch 1080p LCD Toshiba television for about $1200. Not something you’re going to pick up on a whim along with some coffee, sure, but if you’re shopping for a new set and hoping to avoid the Black Friday rush, take a look at this one. In fact, all of today’s Lightning Deals will be on high-end electronics, so it’s worth keeping an eye on if you’ve got a technophile or two on your “nice” list.

Also at Amazon, select boots are an additional 25% off, just add them to your cart to see the discount.

If you’re looking for a new set of makeup brushes on the cheap, look no further than today’s featured Target Daily Deal. Scoop up a Sonia Kashuk 6-piece set in a cute pink case and some money goes to breast cancer research, and you get a great deal. Don’t forget coupon code C4XLD4LP for an additional 10% off, too.

It’s Designer Day at 6pm.com! Deep discounts on your favorite designers, on shoes, clothing, and accessories. You could build an entire outfit and who would blame you? That’s right, no one with good taste, that’s who.

There’s a ton of new clearance available at Justice, which means you can be a hero to the tween girl in your life with very little effort. Especially seeing as how code 779 is knocking another 40% off your order.

If you missed the code to get half off outerwear at Old Navy earlier this week, you’re in luck—they just marked most of their outwear down 50%, anyway. (If you used the code before, feel free to now feel duped. No, I have no idea why they do this.)

I’ll be back later on with this week’s contest winner, and maybe some more deals. Don’t go away.

It’s another Amazon Blu-ray deal: They’ve just dropped The Wizard of Oz 70th Anniversary Edition on Blu-ray to $12.99. Great gift or stocking stuffer for the loved one in your life who sometimes threatens to get the flying monkeys.

Or if you have someone you don’t like all that much, but still need to buy a gift for, give this disc with a pair of striped tights. Subtle!

Oh, man. Have you looked at today’s Everywhere deal at Plum District? $50 worth of cheese from Artisanal Premium Cheese for just $25. You know how I feel about cheese.

I have to stop drooling on the keyboard….
