Time to scope out the Athleta sale

It only happens a couple of times each year, but the sale-on-the-sale is on over at Athleta today and tomorrow—use coupon code EXTRA20 for an additional 20% off already marked down sale prices.

Shipping is automatically free on $50+, as always.

I think their bathing suits are darling. One of these days, I’m going to be able to find a sale top and bottom at the same time. Heh.

Need some new FLOR?

In addition to the rest of the fabulous boutiques available today at Fab.com, they have a couple which are dedicated to FLOR carpet tiles, the easiest way to perk up a room. Now, the Fab prices aren’t all that much better than retail on these, but most of them do then come with free shipping… plus, if you had Fab credit to spend (Fab is very generous with their referral credits—you get $25 every time a new friend registers and makes their first purchase!), this could work out to be a good deal for you.

And I’m only a little bitter that FLOR either didn’t exist or I’d never heard of it back when I had a projectile-vomiting baby. How awesome would it be to be able to just swap out one fouled cube of carpet rather than having to replace the whole thing??

So much better than a land shark

Am I the only person who sees “Avon” and thinks “land shark”? I think my age (and love of Saturday Night Live) is showing. If you have no idea what I’m talking about, get off my lawn, whippersnapper!

Ahem. What were we talking about? Oh, I remember—the fact that right now at Avon you can ship any order of any size for free with coupon code FSMAY1.

I know Avon is kind of old-school, but I have to admit that I’m addicted to several of their products. The Glazewear lip gloss? Way better than the super-expensive stuff I’ve tried. And their Skin So Soft stuff still works to keep the bugs away without the children whining that “it’s greasy, it smells bad” like they do with… oh… everything else.

In short, when they have free shipping, I always manage to find something I “need.” Heh.

Fancy flatware, fabulous prices

If I were a song-composing type, I would first compose many songs to honor my favorite shoes. And dark chocolate. And probably my husband and kids, too. But after all of that, I would definitely sing you a song about how much I love my Oneida silverware.

Sure, once upon a time I tried to get away with an inferior set, back when I was young and foolish. The spoons bent in hard ice cream and fork tines went wonky and the knives developed mysterious spots in the dishwasher. But once I finally saw the light and went for the complete Oneida set? Bliss. Every single piece looks just as good as the day I bought it, except for that one spoon that went through the garbage disposal (and I really don’t think that’s Oneida’s fault).

Anyway! Today if you shop at Oneida you’ll see that they’re having a huge flatware sale—up to 70% off on some of their most popular casual flatware sets! Make it even better by using coupon code DH11, which will take another 11% off your order.

Spend $99+ and it’ll all ship for free, too. The deals are awesome, but really, can you put a price on a spoon that can stand up to a pint of Ben & Jerry’s? I think not.

Spend more, save more at Express

It’s time for more bargains at Express! Currently all clearance items will be reduced an additional 20% when you add them to your cart, plus non-clearance items are eligible for coupon code 1380, which will take $10 off your $30+ purchase or $25 off your $75+ purchase.

Spend $125+ and shipping will be free, too.

I often conclude I’m a little on the old side to shop Express, but they have shoes and accessories, too, which I can usually peruse when I’m done wondering who, exactly, wears all those miniskirts.

One day to save big on Kate Spade

Love Kate Spade? Me, too. Her designs, I mean. Not the prices. Heh.

But today’s the day to shop there! They’re having a surprise one day sale, with prices up to 75% off. Shipping is a flat $5, too. Awesome.

Because Dad likes… that stuff

Any attempt to quantify What Dads Like always makes me laugh (ditto What Moms Like or really any sort of What [fill in the blank] Like), because who says all dads (or moms or extra-terrestrials) like the same things? They don’t. But I do appreciate the effort.

With that said—hopefully you now have a grain or twelve of salt ready—One Kings Lane has a boutique today called “The Dapper Dad.” Yes, it’s got quite a lot of golf-themed items in it. However, it also has a lot of vintage or vintage-feeling items of all sorts, and whether you’re shopping for Dad or yourself, I see quite a few nifty items in there.

I particularly like all of the beer stein options. Apparently your dad likes being sloshed.

It’s Clinique bonus time!

Been waiting for a new bonus offer to stock up on your Clinique favorites? It’s time! The current bonus is free with your $23.50+ purchase (such a weird number… there must be some $23 product they don’t want you buying just to get the bonus), and of course shipping is free if you spend $50+.

This adorable cosmetic bag comes stuffed with de-puffing eye massage gel, repairwear wrinkle/UV damage corrector, moisture surge intense skin fortifying hydrator, lash doubling mascara, an eye shadow duo, and one chubby stick moisturizing lip color.

As if that‘s not enough, coupon code VIP will also add a rinse-off foaming cleanser mini to your order, too. Clinique freebies always feel a little like winning the lottery….

A is for apple, J is for jacks

I ate a lot of Apple Jacks as a kid (and could sing you the commercial jingle at a moment’s notice), but of course I grew up and became a hippie-slash-food-nazi (depending on which of my children you ask), and I don’t buy them for my offspring. Because I’m mean.

Nevertheless, I’ve been assured that all of the other parents buy them for their kids, so if that’s true, here you go: Right now you can order a 3-pack of Kellogg’s Apple Jacks cereal in frustration-free packaging (uhh… because it’s awful when your cereal comes in complicated boxes?) for just $5.51 shipped when you buy via Subscribe & Save.

That’s under $2/box, though you really can’t put a price on being a nicer mom than I am.

Getting my foaming hand soap fix

Is everything on sale at Bath & Body Works right now? Maybe not everything, but pretty close. Hand soaps are 4 for $15 or 6 for $20, and all Signature Collection items are buy 3 get 2 free.

Here’s the icing on the cake: Spend $25+, and you can apply coupon code SPRING25 to ship your entire order for just $1. A measly dollar! You’d spend more than that in gas just thinking about going to the store. (Uh, don’t ask me how that works. I’m not a physicist or anything.) SPRING25 has expired; try TWENTY25, instead, for 20% off your $25+ order.

Happy shopping!
