Good morning! Are you ready to go set things on fire today? Excellent.
While you wait for the festivities to begin, how about a few deals?
There’s huge markdowns over at the National Geographic Store, plus automatic free shipping on your $75+ order.
This weekend 6pm.com has all of the shoe deals you’ve come to know and love (Bongo shoes for under $16!), as well as huge deals on… DVDs? Yes, DVDs! I don’t know why. But there you have it.
Instead of a single deal of the day, this weekend Graveyard Mall is offering a slew of clearance items at rock-bottom prices. They have a ton of Christmas ornaments, among other things, if you feel like really getting ahead on your shopping.
Have a hankering for something at Kohls? Spend $75+ and you’ll get free shipping, plus you can use coupon code TAKE20JULY to get an additional 20% off your order. Spending less than $75? You can still use coupon code GIVEME15 to take 15% off your order. Both of these codes should work whether or not you have a Kohls card.
Domestications is having a 4th of July Clearance Sale, plus you can use coupon code D9GAFF10 for an additional 10% off your order.
Overstock.com is offering 10% off Serta mattresses this weekend (that’s off their already reduced prices, and I do love buying large items from Overstock, because shipping is always just $2.99 no matter what you order. The bigger the item, the more I feel like I’m saving.
And far be it from Macy’s to let a holiday pass by without a sale—right now the 4th of July Sale is in full swing, plus you can use coupon code FIREWORKS to receive free shipping on your $99+ order all weekend.
Stay safe out there, today, and for the love of all that’s holy, someone please go have a funnel cake for me. Thank you.

We’ve stopped in with some relatives for a few days, and it is still raining. I just thought you ought to know.
No matter; the Amazon Friday Sale has always left me feeling warm and dry!
Everyone’s favorite breadmaker—the 2-pound Breadman—is down to just $89.99 today. If you’ve been considering a breadmaker, this is not only the one to get, this is the cheapest it’s been in a while.
I know that for most people, the idea of heating your bath towels in July is somewhere on the list of “Must Do”s between “Yank out all my arm hair one by one” and “Eat something that’s still alive.” But it won’t always be July, and if you’ve ever coveted one of these Warmrails Towel Racks, now is the time to pick it up—today it’s just $120 shipped, nearly half price.
For the past week I’ve been sleeping in a camper. On a camper mattress. Today I am buying this foam mattress topper to put on the mattress, so that I might be willing to go camping again. Ahem. (Last week this topper was still $100. This week it’s $74. Also, I am too old to sleep on a camper mattress.)
Do you love Annie’s mac and cheese the way we do? All of the convenience of a boxed meal, none of the guilt (it’s organic). Today the 12-pack is on sale for just $17, and if you buy via Subscribe & Save you’ll get it for just $14.45 shipped!
Don’t forget to check out today’s Gold Box Deals; today’s deal of the day is an internet tablet, and it’s very shiny. That’s all I’ll say about that, because I really know nothing about tablets. (I know, that was terribly useful.)
Anyway, I hope you have a fabulous Friday and you stay dry.

The current Lightning Deal at Amazon is the Flip Mino 60-minute camcorder bundle for $130 shipped. That’s a great price if you’ve been looking to get the higher-end Flip.
As always, Lightning Deals go quick, so get on it if you’re interested.

A new month means new grocery specials at Amazon, so I was just taking a quick cruise through those.
Has anyone ever tried this Honey Tree honey gel before? I can’t decide if I’m intrigued or horrified—it’s a product that’s “88-90% honey,” with no HFCS or other additives. They’ve added some pectin to make it less runny, is all. It’s “the honey that stays put” and “great for kids.”
My kids looooove honey and also seem virtually incapable of spreading it only on the sandwich in front of them. I find it on the table, the chairs, and the kitchen counters. A honey that stays put is sounding pretty good, actually.
Use coupon code HONEYT32 to take an additional 30% off your purchase, and 12 containers of Honey Gel can be yours for under $14. (It’s not Subscribe & Save eligible, though, so you’ll either need Prime or additional items for Super Saver Shipping to get free shipping.)
Am I delirious from the mountain air and long hours on the road, or is this actually kind of brilliant?

I’m always on the lookout for cheap digital frames—you can’t have too many photo displays, in our house—but this Pandigital frame at Buy.com may just be my new favorite. There’s three openings for regular photos along with the digital section. So it’s a collage frame, as well as a digital frame.
And it’s just $29.99 shipped. Tough to beat that!

Ordinarily you can get free shipping at Barnes & Noble online the same way you do at Amazon—by purchasing $25+ worth of merchandise. But through this weekend, choose from over a million items at Barnes & Noble eligible for free shipping on just $10+! This is a great promotion if there’s just one or two things you need, and you don’t want to get into filling up your cart just to reach the free shipping amount.
Tons of stuff is on sale, too, and it’s not like it’s hard to find books you want to pick up….

You already know I’m a fool for Kiss My Face products; they’re all-natural, smell awesome, and leave your skin soft and happy. (Yes. Happy skin!) And if you’ve never checked out the line, go ahead and get yourself a free sample of shower/bath gel to try.
It’s an anti-stress formula, which means I’m planning to drink it. That’ll work, right?

There’s nothing my kids like so much as the Scholastic order forms they get from school and can then bring home and use to beg me to buy them hundreds of dollars worth of books. One of life’s great mysteries will always be why—given this devotion—said booklets always arrive home crumpled and stained and clearly having spent some time in the very bottom of the backpack. Hmmmm.
No matter; you can order from the online Scholastic Store any time you want! And through July 13th, 2009, you can use coupon code AFFTRV to take 20% off your order, plus it’ll give you free shipping on orders of $39+.
I mean, I solved my addiction to Scholastic books by getting them to give me a job where I also get free books from them, but I realize that’s not entirely an option for everyone. This is a pretty good alternative.

I’m about to go hiking up a mountain. Please pray for me.
While I’m gone, I know you’re in need of shoes. Right? Right.
Over at Shoes.com, they’ve extended the special deal on sale shoes—you can still use coupon code SALE to take an additional 20% off items already on sale. (This doesn’t work on handbags, though.)
Want something that’s not already on sale? No problem! For the month of July, use coupon code FLAG15 to take 15% off your purchase.
And if none of that seems cheap enough for you because I’ve ruined you with amazing shoe deals, hop on over to 6pm for today’s deals over there. They’ve got adorable Annie and Ocean Minded shoes for $15 and less, today.
Maybe I should stay here and shop for shoes. I mean, the mountain isn’t going anywhere….

I realize it’s still hotter than you-know-what in many parts of the country, but here in the mountains it is cold. And rainy. Last night for dinner we had stew, and tonight I am seriously considering making soup. Crazy.
If you’re living somewhere similarly chilly and damp, or if you just want to be ready for winter, you might want to check out this great deal on a Farberware 8-quart stock pot at Amazon. It’s down to just $29.99, plus it’s eligible for the 4-for-3 promotion!
Okay, you probably don’t want four stock pots. But if you were buying some other 4-for-3 things, that’d work. Or get four pots if you like. I don’t judge. Maybe you just really, really like soup.
