Pesky children still growing despite your orders to slow down? You could try putting bricks on their heads, but a better gameplan might be to check out the new markdowns over at The Children’s Place.
If you’re buying a bunch, you can use coupon code NEXTJ68 for 10% off your $100+ purchase.
And probably you—like me—now think “But I just bought the kids clothes!” That’s fine. Just wait a minute. Wait. Wait. Okay, there. They’ve outgrown what you last bought. See?

Through July 12th, 2008, ToysRUs.com has many items up to 75% off, including an impressive selection of Wii games marked down to just under $10.
If I had a Wii (yeah, yeah, I know… time to get out your tiny violin and play for me!) I’d be scoping out those games before they sell out.

I know, I know—you’re thinking fireworks and apple pie, not toys. But there’s a huge clearance going on at Toys R Us, plus you only have through July 5th, 2008, to use coupon code 922827 to take $10 off your $50+ purchase. It might be worth a look.

Well, not exactly for free, I guess. But right now if you spend $75+ at DisneyShopping, you can get a certificate for 2 tickets to WALL-E. Just use coupon code WALLETKTS.
(Side note: They emailed me this promotion, and while I skimmed the mail I wondered what in the world wallet kits were. Heh.)
If you haven’t yet seen WALL-E, prepare to have your socks charmed off. I rarely spring for full-price movie tickets, but the entire family loved it.

Good morning, and welcome to July. Those of you wondering where June went, please form a line to the rear… right behind me. Hmph.
Let’s start off the month with a bonus coupon on kiddie stuff. Right now you can use code KIDS15P at either Leaps and Bounds or code BABY15P at One Step Ahead to save 15% on your $100+ purchase.
It’s not too useful if you’re just picking up little stuff, but if you’re making a big-ticket kid purchase, you may find it handy.
Enjoy, and let me know if you figure out where June went.

The big clearance at CompanyKids is still going on, and now it’s even better because you can use coupon code AFFGK08 to take off another 10%.
Offer is valid through July 6th, 2008, and there are some Valentine treat bags in the sale section that are so cute my teeth immediately started to crumble. In case you like that sort of thing.

Did you forget to check the LL Bean Thursday Morning Markdown? Today it’s comfort mountain mocs for the kids, just $15. (They are out of my daughter’s—a.k.a. Flipper’s—size, alas!) Use coupon code 3001059 to ship your order for free, and looky there… you’ve just bought sturdy back-to-school shoes at a great price, and now you don’t have to worry about it for the rest of the summer.
Nice work.

Sorry for the slow morning here, folks. I had to take my youngest to the doctor, and I’m still getting used to that “southern hospitality” at doctors’ offices here where your appointment time is more of a recommendation than an actual schedule. But I’m sure that telling us to come for 9:30 and not seeing us until 10:45 totally meant we were getting the very best care possible. Um. Bless their hearts.
Anyway! Now that we’ve escaped we’re home again, I see that they’re having a big Summer sale at BabyCenter right now, which could come in handy if you want some clearance babies. Er, I mean, if you need some baby gear. And if you spend $49+, you can use coupon code FREESHIP49 to—you guessed it—get free shipping.
It’s too bad they’re out of babies, though.

I think my kids probably already have plenty of games for their DSs, but it’s hard to tell because the cartridges are so small. I mean, they’ve got these carrying cases for them that are smaller than my purse, but appear to hold the console and 40 games or so. Who knows! But maybe you’ll find this useful:
For a limited time, Toys ‘R’ Us is offering Buy 2, Get the 3rd Free on Nintendo DS games
, and many of them have free shipping. Choose right and you could really clean up with some great deals.
Unless you’re a big meanie like me, of course, who never buys the poor deprived children any video games. Poor things.

Is today a special occasion? A holiday I’ve forgotten? I have no idea. Maybe it’s International Get Cute Stuff Day! Hey, for whatever reason, today at Disney Shopping they’ve offering 25% off your order with coupon code JUNE25. That’ll work today (June 18th, 2008) only, so hop on it if you’re interested.
Of course, the code doesn’t work in the Outlet (boo), but you can also use coupon code SHIPFOR5 through June 22nd, 2008, to ship your entire order for $5, and you can stack the two coupons.
(It’s not as good as a free trip to Disneyworld, but I rarely find coupons for that.)
