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.

Check it out: Amazon has the Garmin StreetPilot C580 on sale for about $220 shipped, a hefty savings over anywhere else I checked. It comes with MSN Direct, which gives you things like the weather and local gas prices, too. Very cool.
[Apologies for the slow postings. I’ve been felled by a nasty virus, and while bargains are pretty important, today I’ve needed to spend a lot of quality time studying the insides of my eyelids while wishing I was either asleep or dead. I hope you understand. I’m stuffing down the Vitamin C in an effort to get back into form as soon as possible.]

What time, you ask? Why, Restaurant.com time, of course!
Through May 18th, 2008, use coupon code CUISINE to take 50% off your order, netting you $25 of dining for just $5. If you’ve not caught the fever, yet, or if the last time you checked there weren’t any restaurants in your area, I encourage you to take a peek each time I post a code. (Which, yes, granted, is about once a week.) New restaurants are being added all the time.
And what could be better than big bucks off at your favorite eatery? Probably only the addition of a free babysitter, but those are a lot harder to print out from your computer.

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….

Oh, I know—you’re not short, you’re vertically-challenged. Or, more simply put: petite. Whatever. Make up in great deals what you lack in height; because through May 19th, 2008, PetiteSophsticate.com
is offering 40% off of regular prices and 50% extra off of already reduced prices, automatically!
This can be combined with either the 20% off $75+ orders code (776576407) or the free shipping on $50+ order code (776576308). Either way, you’ll be cleaning up in short order. (Pun only slightly intended.)

I’ve tried a number of fancy moisturizers and lip glosses, and I always keep coming back to the same product: Aquafor. Yep, Aquafor.
It has the added side benefit of being useful for all of those “boo-boos” the kids come by demanding to have treated. You know the ones—the ones that hurt and/or involve a little scrape, but for which the antibiotic ointment would be overkill? Yeah. Great for those, too. (Chapstick, not so much.)
Go get some for free; the sample size is perfect for your purse.

You know I’m powerless against a good shoe deal. Some might call it a character flaw, but I prefer to think of it as “excellent radar.” Yes.
So here’s a bunch of Kenneth Cole New York shoes which are deeply discounted at Amazon (poke around; both men’s and women’s styles available, prices may vary by size or color). Great deals, right?
If they carry it at Amazon, that means they also carry it at Endless. Activate your price-matching powers—while it’ll only save you a few more bucks in most cases, it also gets you free overnight shipping and free returns to buy from Endless rather than Amazon, so you’re much better off going that route. (Remember: Place your order at Endless after you’ve verified the same size/color available at Amazon. Then call to ask for your price adjustment. Easy!) Endless has changed their price-matching policy—you may no longer match to Amazon (which makes sense, but still, major bummer). Price-matching is still available at Shoebuy.com if they carry the same shoe.
Hey, it’s the last day of Mother’s Day Weekend (extended version). And Mama always needs a new pair of shoes.

I am oddly tempted by this Coleman inflatable boat. At $49.99 with free shipping, I might just blow it up and put the kids out on the pond in it when they get too loud. Would that be wrong?

If you’re needing some clothing, you might want to hop over to the Old Navy
site today. Not only is there a ton of clearance available, you can reduce those items an additional 15% by using coupon code EXTRA15OFF. Shipping is always just a flat $5 for every order, or order $50+ and use coupon code SHIPSUMMER to ship it for free.
Sometimes their stuff makes me laugh (hey, skirts come in two lengths: “What Color Panties Are You Wearing” or “This Looks Nice With A Burqa”), but I do love their t-shirts, and their kids’ clothes are staples ’round here.

I want you all to know that I think every single one of my readers is awesome, but when I hear that one of my readers is a real live roller derby girl—a Derby Doll, to be exact—I can’t help thinking there’s an extra helping of awesome involved. I’m just sayin’.
Anyway. Do you know Stila Cosmetics? Of course you do. What you may not know is that they do a Stila Girl of the Week every week, and this week, their girl is a member of the LA Derby Dolls. One of the perks she received is a friends and family type discount code, and so all this week you’re welcome to use coupon code SYDNEY20 for an extra 20% off and free shipping.
There’s just one catch. The Derby Dolls are hoping that Stila will see the light and decide to engage in some corporate sponsorship in the future. They (and other roller derby leagues across the country) are volunteer ventures, skater-owned and -operated, and some corporate help would really enable these ladies to sustain and expand what is one of the fastest-growing sports in America right now. To that end, the LADD is simply asking that if you use the coupon code, you also leave something in the “special notes” field when ordering as a shout out to the great sport of roller derby. I suggest, “ROCK ON, DERBY DOLLS!” But feel free to use your own words.
They’re giving you 20% off. Give ‘em some love, people.
