It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s a PowerCapes deal!

by Mir at 12:03 pm on January 30, 2012 in For the kids, Hot Hot Hot!

My new favorite gift to give to little people is a cape from PowerCapes. Is there anything more magical than a cape when you’re a kid? And anything cooler than getting to custom design one for a kid who will love it? I say no. They are awesome in every possible way.

Their prices are quite reasonable, but far be it from us to turn down a discount, right? Today at Mamapedia Deals you can snag $40 to PowerCapes for just $20. Capes start at $24, and then there’s other cool accessories like shirts, wristguards, and masks, too.

They even make capes in adult sizes. I don’t judge.

Programmable cooking for a smaller family

by Mir at 10:17 am on January 30, 2012 in Hot Hot Hot!, Product Talk

Those of you who’ve spent a lot of time around here know that I have a small… ahhh… problem when it comes to crock pots. I own four of them. And I can quit any time I want to, see, I just really enjoy the convenience of set-and-forget meals that I can deal with in the morning—right after I’ve had my coffee—instead of trying to cook during the craziest time of the day.

My favorite crock pot right now is a 6.5 quart programmable one, because I tend to cook in large batches and freeze the extras. But if you’re not into that, and/or if you have a smaller family, you’ve maybe noticed that the smaller programmable models are just about as expensive as the big ones, which seems kind of unfair.

Today Buy.com has a Refurbished Cuisinart 3.5 quart programmable slow cooker available for just $35 shipped. The cheapest I’m seeing it at Amazon is about $47, though it looks like $60 is the more typical price (for a new one, obviously).

This would be perfect if you’ve been wanting a smaller unit that you can set in the morning and not worry about no matter how late you get home in the evening.

Stock up on basics, ship it for free

by Mir at 7:20 am on January 30, 2012 in For the kids, Hot Hot Hot!, What to Wear

You know all those socks in your drawer with holes in them? The ones you keep swearing to replace, but your busy life has somehow not left you with time to go… sock shopping? (Okay, I may be projecting. This one is probably just me.) Anyway, if anyone in the family is in need of socks, undies, and other comfy things like t-shirts and sweats, check out the Comfort Crazy Sale going on right now at Hanes.

Prices are slashed on just about everything, plus you can use coupon code 86937 to ship your order for free.

And yes, I’ll be buying some new socks. Finally.

You’re all very pretty

by Mir at 8:30 am on January 27, 2012 in For the kids, Groceries, Hot Hot Hot!, What to Wear

Thanks for bearing with me, this week. You all look gorgeous today, and I love your shoes. Hopefully our regular programming will return in a few days, but I know things have been sporadic and appreciate that no one has complained.

A few deals before I go spend my day running around in the woods with my son’s class:

Amazon’s Gold Box Deal today is a deep discount on Popchips, one of our favorite lunchbox snacks! Combine the discounted price with Subscribe & Save to get the lowest price and free shipping.

The grab bags in the Outlet at Burt’s Bees are all the way down to just $15, now, and coupon code SPRING12 is working for $5 off $25 if you want to buy a couple of them. Shipping is $6. (Site is moving slowly, be patient.)[Edited to add: Coupon code 5FREESHIP appears to be taking off $5 and giving free shipping on any order!]

The 16-packs fo Hanger Buddiez over at Kids.Woot today is slaying me with the cuteness. That would be perfect as part of a baby shower gift. (I am partial to the Monster Pack, but they’re all adorable.)

Over at Tanga, they’ve got Everyday with Rachael Ray Magazine available for $24/year, but when I put it in my cart it dropped down to $4.99 and I’m not sure why. If it doesn’t automatically discount for you, try adding code EVERYDAY to get it at that price. And you can order up to 4 years at that price!

I see the Gap family of stores is back to different coupons for every store (all the better to confuse you, my dears!), but here you go: If you’re shopping Old Navy, use code ONTAKE15 today for 15% off everything; if you’re shopping Gap, use code GAPFUN for an additional 30% off sale items; at Banana Republic use code BRJANUARY for 25% off anything. (Got that? Me neither.)

Again, thanks for bearing with me lately. Y’all are super pretty.

Nook your books, for less

by Mir at 9:35 am on January 26, 2012 in Hot Hot Hot!

Been on the lookout for a great deal on a Nook Color? Buy.com has refurbs in stock for just $139.

Me, I’m perfectly happy with my black-and-white Kindle. But my youngest has a Nook and deeply appreciates being able to read his books or play Angry Birds. Heh.

Anti-vampire lighting

by Mir at 8:14 am on January 26, 2012 in Hot Hot Hot!

You know that the writing over at Woot always delights me, but today I am still chuckling over their description on Home.Woot for a 4-pack of darkness-sensing CFL bulbs.

I don’t know about the whole vampire thing, but if you wanted energy-efficient lights that automatically go on when it gets dark, this seems like a decent deal. And if you have vampires around, well, I’m guessing it’s an even better deal.

A few deals to keep you busy

by Mir at 7:12 am on January 25, 2012 in For the kids, Groceries, Hot Hot Hot!, What to Wear

Due to unforeseen circumstances, I’m going to be away from the computer for most of today, looks like. Here’s a few deals to keep you busy while I’m gone:

There’s goodness aplenty in today’s Target Daily Deals; whether you want a half-price Sonicare toothbrush or want to peruse the entire inventory of Home Sale items (pick one to get free shipping and an extra 10% off—this includes deeply discounted patio furniture), there’s a deal there for you today.

You know Wednesday means Kohls, and today you can use coupon code SMS7873 for an extra 20% off any order. Redeem your Kohls Cash, and enjoy free shipping on your $75+ order, automatically.

This one’s a little convoluted, but bear with me: If your kids love those Clif Kids fruit ropes, go take a look at this 18-pack of strawberry ropes, here. If you click on “12 new from $8.41″ in the right-hand column of More Buying Choices, you can scroll down and locate an offer of $8.41 from Amazon Warehouse, and that’s eligible for Prime or Super Saver Shipping, too. (It’s a great deal, so I suspect it’ll sell out quickly. Congrats to those of you who manage to nab it!)

There’s a huge outerwear blowout going on right now at Lands’ End, and you can use coupon code FREEZE and PIN 1710 for free shipping on any order.

I’ll get back here as soon as I can, but don’t you dare pay full retail for anything in the meantime.

Children’s Place will suck you back in

by Mir at 6:46 am on January 25, 2012 in For the kids, Hot Hot Hot!, What to Wear

Listen, I am trying not to post deals from them every darn day, but lately they’ve just been extremely generous with the discounts, and what can I say—you know I’m a sucker for those good deals.

So. Today—Wednesday, January 25th—if you shop Children’s Place you’ll get a double bonus. First, all orders are shipping for free today (woo!), automatically. Second, today only you can use either coupon code T9F2012 or U9F2012 for an additional 25% off your order.

Really, at this point, all that’s left is for them to just give the clothes away.

If you’re a Clinique gal

by Mir at 1:22 pm on January 24, 2012 in Hot Hot Hot!

Today Clinique is offering free shipping on every your $50+ order, no code necessary. (The offer changed, sorry for the confusion!) Don’t forget you can get free samples with every order, and right now they’re offering a free Mini Super City Block (SPF 40!) with any $30+ order when you use coupon code SUPER, too.

I’m not a Clinique user, myself, but I have friends who swear by their products. If you’re buying it anyway, may as well save yourself the shipping!

An offer you can’t refuse

by Mir at 9:45 am on January 24, 2012 in Hot Hot Hot!

Well, technically I guess you could refuse, but if you’re looking for a great deal on the Godfather movies, you’re not going to want to. Right now Amazon has the The Godfather Collection on Blu-ray available for just $35 shipped—its lowest price ever.

You get all three Godfather movies, plus a slew of bonus “featurettes.” Plus, you know, Brando, Pacino… these are classics. (Plus, if you have teenagers in your house, there’s nothing like a little Godfather action to remind you that things could be worse.)
