Want Not

I still don’t entirely understand stores that offer a shared shopping cart but don’t allow coupons to be used across all stores, most of the time. I’m looking at you, Gap family of stores. It just seems a little counter-productive to me, but what do I know?

This one doesn’t hit every store, but it’s close: For the next two days, you can use coupon code NEWYOU for 30% off at Gap, Old Navy, or Banana Republic, plus it’ll also give you 20% off at Piperlime. Some restrictions apply.

(Apparently if you want to shop at Athleta, you’re just going to have to be happy paying regular price.)

Anyway, that’s not a bad deal for a Tuesday, all things considered. Definitely worth a look if you were planning some shopping, anyway.

They did it all weekend, and today’s the last day—hop on over to Children’s Place and every order ships for free, today, plus you can use coupon code W7F2012 for 20% off.

Did my son spontaneously outgrow two pairs of pants this weekend? Why yes, he did. I can’t explain it, I only know it happens.

Right now there’s tons of clearance going on over at Payless, and I have to say that their inventory has really changed since the days when I would go in there to get light-up sneakers for my tots. They have some decent stuff! (Not that they didn’t, before. But… back in the day, everything they had was plastic. Now they have leather, and actual brands you’ve heard of.)

Use coupon code 42612 for an additional 20% off your order, too. Shipping is a flat $5.95, or free if you ship to your local store and pick up.

I think this is the perfect excuse to get whatever shoes the kids need and then just maybe have something pretty for yourself “fall” into your cart. It could happen, is all I’m sayin’.

I swear I just pulled out new jeans for my son a couple of months ago, and was assuring him that as long as he wore them with shoes, he wouldn’t be stomping all over the hems even though they were clearly too long. And then yesterday morning he comes downstairs for school and I’m all, “Dude, did you pull those jeans out of the too-small bin? Because those are too short.” Yep—same jeans. Crazy.

Off to Children’s Place I go, where today only, you can use coupon code Y7F2012 for an additional 20% off your order. Combine that with the Monster Sale and there’s some very good deals to be had.

That’s excellent news, because I suspect the new jeans will only fit for a couple of months, too.

My daughter has earned a reputation amongst the extended family as sort of a latter-day Punky Brewster; open any present for her at a holiday gathering and odds are, there will be some socks or gloves from LittleMissMatched in there, and she’ll be squealing with delight.

Needless to say, we’re home from our trip, and she has two new pairs of fingerless gloves and about a dozen new crazy socks, so I don’t need to go shop their post-holiday “Zany Sale” happening today, but maybe you’d like to take a look. Here, I’ll make it even better than their up-to-70%-off sale prices: Use coupon code MADDIE10 for $10 off any order! Use it on smaller orders to negate the shipping and save a couple of bucks, or get your pre-coupon order total up to $40+ and the shipping will be free, and you just save the $10.

They have women’s sizes, by the way. I don’t judge.

It’s an excellent day to hit up American Eagle and 77 Kids; all clearance items are automatically an extra 30% off in your cart, and then you can apply coupon code 69837111 for another 25% off and free shipping.

But hurry—the extra coupon code is only good through the end of today (January 2nd, 2012).

Personally—particularly as we’re up north right now, where (it must be said) the thermostat seems to be set to “bitter cold”—I don’t believe Winter’s End is coming any time soon, but hey, if Lands’ End wants to have a sale, I’m certainly not going to discourage them.

Plus, I could use a sweater. Or twelve. (Seriously, how do you live in this climate? I’m freezing.)

Ship any order for free with coupon code NEWYEAR and PIN 5878. But hurry—the coupon expires at midnight tonight!
