And not just that, 20% off, too.
Shop Crazy 8 through May 18th, 2008, and take 20% off your order and receive free shipping with coupon code SAVE20
I know folks have had mixed opinions about their clothing, but I’ve bought a ton of stuff there for my kids and have been very pleased with all of it. The boys’ clothing in particular has been a pleasant surprise. Then again, I’ve come to expect very little from boys’ clothing in general.
Go! Shop! Lots of stuff already on sale, too.

Laura was kind enough to point out to me—because she is pretty and because I was slow and stupid with being sick today—that the CompanyKids clearance section
is sporting some excellent deals. In particular, if you’re ready to start stocking up for next winter, there are some awesome outerwear bargains to be had. I’m just sayin’.
And now my Nyquil and I are going back to bed.

I know many of us stocked up during the last sale at The Children’s Place, but just in case you didn’t—or if your child decided to sprout up another inch or two in the meantime—I thought I’d let you know there’s a new coupon code out. Use S2A58 to take 15% off your order through June 1st, 2008.
Combine that with the deals in the Outlet and you’ll be in good shape. I mean, at least until Junior discovers that mud puddle….

Several of you wrote in to let me know that the big book deal at Weekly Reader is back; they’re offering 12 kids’ favorite hardcover books plus 12 CDs for $20. Even better, the shipping is just $3.85. This is a great gift-closet stocker if you want to break up the set, and an even better teacher gift if you like to contribute to the classroom library.
My kids are beyond this level, now, but I’ve bought this bundle a few times in the past and have always been pleased.

It’s another wacky promotion from DisneyShopping: Through May 7th, 2008, it’s time for Crazy 5! Visit the Disney site
for all the fine print, but basically you can use coupon code SHIPFIVE for flat rate $5 shipping, and code TAKE5 to take $5 off certain qualifying items.
Also, certain items are marked down to just $5, and those change daily. It’s crazy!

My kids are getting to the age where I’m having more trouble stocking the gift closet. They’re getting pickier, plus a lot of their friends already seem to own everything I think is nifty. Hmph.
So you can call me juvenile if you like (you wouldn’t be the first one), but when I saw this remote-control snake at Deep Discount for just $9.89 shipped I knew it would not only be a great staple for many of my kids’ friends, I had a brief but vivid fantasy of putting it on the kitchen floor some morning when breakfast isn’t moving quickly enough for my liking. Heh.
(It is currently out of stock, but can be ordered for future delivery. For reference, the same toy will run you in excess of $20 at Amazon.)

You have today and tomorrow (through April 30th, 2008) to shop at Disney Shopping
and take 10% off anything using coupon code SITE10.
Or, shop in their Swim Shop (that includes not just swimsuits, but beach chairs, towels, and flip flops!) and take 20% off using coupon code SWIM20.
Either way, you can also stack coupon code SHIPFOR5 to ship your entire $50+ order for just $5. If you have a bunch of kids to outfit for the beach, you could turn this one into a fabulous deal—there’s lots on sale, already.

Despite my fear of the rabbit on the cover, I’m told that Rayman Raving Rabbids 2 is a great Wii game, and that its current price of $29.99 is a bargain.
[Insert standard whining about how I still don’t own a Wii here.]
[Insert “Can’t sleep, raving rabbid’ll eat me” in my best Bart Simpson voice here.]

This is for anyone who missed out on the firefly lantern deal from earlier….
Check out this light-up kite from Deep Discount. Never flown a kite in the dark? Me either! But it sort of looks like fun!
Their price is $12.48 shipped; today only (April 28th, 2008), use coupon code 3FF15 to take another $3 off of that, making it just $9.48 shipped to your door. How much fun would that be on the beach at night this summer?
