Winner of the Riceworks contest

by Mir at 12:50 pm on September 26, 2011 in Contests

Hey, did you think I forgot about the Riceworks contest from a couple of weeks ago! I didn’t. I mean, I didn’t for very long. Um, oops. But hey! Bygones! Let’s have a winner now.

The lucky recipient of 5 coupons for free bags of Riceworks crisps is… commenter 39, Holly. Congratulations, Holly—please check your email! Everyone else: Go check out the Riceworks Facebook Page, and you can get a coupon for $1 off by confessing your snacking sins.

Big thanks to all who played, and special thanks going out to Riceworks and their PR elves for sponsoring the contest.

If you didn’t win this time, don’t be glum. Very soon we’ll be into the season of More Prizes Than I Can Keep Track Of, and that’s always a lot of fun. (I mean, for y’all. Kind of confusing for me, but I am easily confused.) I’m even going to put up another contest this afternoon, as soon as I find where I put the prize “for safekeeping.” (Why yes, it is rather hard being me.)

Have you been checking?

by Mir at 11:01 am on September 26, 2011 in Hot Hot Hot!

I’ve gotten completely sucked in to Rue La La lately. Today’s boutiques have me salivating, even if I won’t end up actually buying anything (as much as I’d like a $999 python satchel, haha). But I might find a little something in my price range in the Laundry sale….

Just thought I’d remind you. In case you’d forgotten they were there.

You and Tommy are totally BFFs, right? Right. Take 40% off your purchase at Tommy Hilfiger this week with their Friends & Family sale—just use coupon code LOZOFRIENDS40 to grab the savings.

40% off definitely makes me feel friendlier….

Stock up your medicine cabinet

by Mir at 7:28 am on September 26, 2011 in Hot Hot Hot!

What’s my favorite kind of deal? The kind where it’s free, of course. But my second favorite kind of deal is when I can save money on stuff I’d normally have to leave the house to buy. (You know how I hate that; the sunlight! It buuuuurns!)

This week you can celebrate Walgreens‘ anniversary with an extra $10 off your $40 purchase, using coupon code YEAR11. Most orders of $25+ ship for free, and the coupon can be used up to 3 times per account, and it works both on regular and sale prices. That means you can grab up the stuff you need anyway—for the medicine cabinet, or whatever—and save money, and get it shipped for free.

Combine it with the current buy 1, get 1 vitamin sale they’ve got going on, and there’s some serious savings to be had.

Saturday deals

by Mir at 9:20 am on September 24, 2011 in Hot Hot Hot!, What to Wear

Good morning! My family is roughing it this weekend—we’re camping, which means I had to turn on my wireless modem before I could get online. Truly, my dedication to y’all knows no bounds.

Let’s see what’s up today in deal-land….

This weekend you can save 25% and get free shipping at American Eagle (as well as Aerie and 77 Kids) with coupon code 42677541. They often have a percentage off or free shipping, but combining the two is a treat.

You can also save an additional 30% and get free shipping with coupon code WZH8734 at Coldwater Creek this weekend. Combine the discount with already-reduced Outlet items and they’re practically paying you to take this stuff.

If the $5 MP3 albums at Amazon are still too rich for your blood, check out today’s Gold Box—they’ve got a bunch of pop albums for just $4 apiece.

The weekend sale at Macy’s gets even better with coupon code HOTLIST to take an additional 20% off most things (15% or 10% off others). Shipping is free on your $99+ order, always.

Boots are in the spotlight (hello, Fall!) over at 6pm.com today, and it’s giving me a hankering for cooler weather. But not until we get home.

Time for me to drag take the kids hiking! Woo! Have a great day, everyone.

Black Friday in September? Why not!

by Mir at 11:25 am on September 23, 2011 in For the kids, Hot Hot Hot!

Get a jump on some of the most popular toys of the season with today’s sale at Mattel—they’re having Black Friday in September! Save on tons of toys, and everything on their site ships for free, today only.

Deals vary from kinda-good to spectacular, so be sure to pay close attention to make sure you’re getting a good price. Still, hard to beat a sale and free shipping this early in the season if there’s something in particular that your kid is clamoring to have.

And I just realized my kids are too old for just about all of this. Sad!

A rainbow of fractions

by Mir at 9:56 am on September 23, 2011 in For the kids, Hot Hot Hot!

I’m totally digging this Learning Resources Rainbow Fraction Tiles set, not the least of which because it’s currently just $3.95 shipped if you have Amazon Prime. What a great visual way to help kids better understand fractions, in the classroom and out.

This would be a great teacher/classroom gift, by the way. And the holidays aren’t that far off. Just sayin’.

Come to the Mac side

by Mir at 8:07 am on September 23, 2011 in Hot Hot Hot!

I’m a Mac-head, I’ll admit it. And you know how insufferable we can be, what with our superior computers. Ahem.

Anyway, I know the barrier for a lot of folks to full-fledged Mac-love is the price. Today at CowBoom they’re having a “Mac Attack,” with all-Mac offerings in a Woot-Off style. You have to act quickly to snap up the deals, but it may be worth it—the prices are crazy. (And yes, these are refurbished machines, but even so, I’ve never seen prices like this before.)

Besides, Macs are just better. Heh.

Tanga me this

by Mir at 7:08 am on September 23, 2011 in Hot Hot Hot!

How much am I loving the options at Tanga this morning? So much. Long-time readers will instantly recognize that the “Keep Calm and Eat Bacon” shirt was obviously made for me (ha!), while both the laptop cooling pad and armrest organizers are just the sort of ugly yet utilitarian things I’m likely to have around.

And if none of that floats your boat, the $18 subscription to Taste of Home magazine drops to just $4 for the entire year when you use coupon code TASTE. Just so that there’s something for you tasteful folks, too.

(But really, how funny would it be if I got that shirt for my vegetarian kid? I mean, sure, there’s the $7 for the shirt, and then the added money for extra therapy, but still. Totally worth it.)

Your girls will thank you

by Mir at 12:49 pm on September 22, 2011 in Hot Hot Hot!, What to Wear

Yes, I’m talking about those girls—ladies, right now you can save an additional 25% at Maidenform with coupon code LIFETIMESTYLE25, through the end of the month. There’s a sale going on, too.

That means you’re out of excuses for not having a couple of decent bras and/or why you’re wearing panties that have elastic hanging out of them. Seriously. Do yourself a favor. I promise you’re worth it.

Shipping is free on your $75+ purchase, too. Let your tattered underthings go.
