Time for savings

August 5, 2008 | Hot Hot Hot!

It’s a new month, and that means it’s time for a new discount code for Restaurant.com! Sure, there was a code just last week, but many restaurants release on a certain quota of certificates each month, and then you spend the rest of the money wondering why they’re sold out. Always check back the first week of the month for those hard-to-get certificates!

Through August 7th, 2008, use coupon code GAMES at Restaurant.com to net yourself $25 worth of dining for just $5. Because the very best appetizer of all is an absence of guilt (hey, this you can afford).

Time to stock up. . . on food!

Hot Hot Hot!, Groceries

It’s the most wonderful time of the year, and I’m not just saying that because the kids are about to go back to school. No, I’m saying that because once again there’s an unbeatable grocery special at Amazon.

And if there’s one thing I like better than stocking my pantry on the cheap, it’s stocking my pantry on the cheap without having to leave the house. Woo!

Check it out: Right now there’s hundreds of eligible grocery products, including lots of General Mills and Kelloggs (hint: cereal), from which to choose and save. Get your grocery total up to $59 from amongst those choices, and use coupon code BTSBASIC to save $25 instantly.

Then it ships for free, and you’re stocked up. It’s a beautiful thing, people.

New Kohls clearance

August 4, 2008 | Hot Hot Hot!, What to Wear

There’s a new round of markdowns in the Kohls clearance section, finally, which is nice because I was tiring of the same 4 shirts in the Boys’ section that had been there for a month. Heh. Shipping is still free on orders of $75+, and Kohls cardholders can stack codes TAKE15 (15% off) and MVC5808 (free shipping, no minimum). No Kohls card? Use NEW7342 for an additional 10% off.

Most of the clearance items are summer-wear, but if you live somewhere hot, that’s back-to-school appropriate, anyway.

Recharge your Wii Fit

Hot Hot Hot!

If I had a Wii Fit, I’d definitely pick up this rechargeable battery pack for the balance board, because it’s just $13.99 shipped and means I would always have it ready to go, even though I can never find any batteries in this house.

Of course, this is all just a fantasy for me, as if I had finally managed to snag a Wii (purely hypothetical, you understand) I’d be saving it until Christmas, and despite stalking the Wii Fit for months—which I don’t need, because I don’t have a Wii, right?—I haven’t been able to find one.

But maybe you have one. So there you go.

It’s always a good day for shoes

Hot Hot Hot!, What to Wear

Check it out: Right now Amazon is offering an additional 20% off already-marked-down shoes (additional discount shows up at checkout).

There’s lots of kids’ shoes available, too. In case going back to school is on your mind. Not that it’s on mine or anything. It’s not like I have Thursday circled on the calendar in red marker. Stop looking at me like that.

It’s like a sign

August 3, 2008 | Hot Hot Hot!

(An aside: Thanks for the kind words and well-wishes. My mother-in-law is still in the ICU but improving a little.)

So there comes a point when you’ve done all of the sitting around and worrying you can possibly stand, and then you realize that really, you need to get back to doing some work. And then you go poke around and you find that Amazon has the reconditioned KitchenAid Artisan stand mixer available for $137.69 with free shipping.

And you realize that that right there is a sign. It’s a sign that yes, trying to get back to work is a good idea, and possibly even a sign that everything is going to be okay.

But mostly it is a sign that I need to go make some cookies. Um, to comfort my husband. Yeah, that’s it….

It goes well with coffee

August 1, 2008 | Hot Hot Hot!

Apparently neither sleet, nor snow, nor family members in the ICU can stop me from posting the Amazon Friday Sale. Go buy yourself something pretty.

A tent for 4 people (well, maybe 2)

July 30, 2008 | Hot Hot Hot!, Product Talk

I love the way tents get rated. If it’s a “4 person tent” that means it will be a good tent to sleep two people who like each other a lot, or possibly feasible for three midgets. The tent we use is rated for 6 people, which means my husband and I can change our clothes in there without throwing each other an elbow to the jaw. Mostly.

All of this is to say, if you’re in the market for a tent—and you understand that the ratings may be a little, well, overly generous—check out this Kelty Pagosa tent for $80.75 shipped at Amazon. While I wouldn’t recommend it for more than 2 people (or maybe two and a half… like if you’re camping with a baby in tow), Kelty is a high-end maker of outdoor gear. This is a great deal.

Just so long as there aren’t really four of you.

I think this is for people who exercise

Hot Hot Hot!, What to Wear

I’m not really sure, though. I mean, I hear that there are people who don’t sit at their desks all day long, but I somewhat suspect they’re just the stuff of myths, like unicorns.

However. If you’re an active type, you’ll probably be interested to know that right now at ChampionUSA.com you’ll get free shipping on every order, plus if you buy two pairs of shorts, the third pair is free. And then you can go running, or something.

I guess.

Mmmmm. . . cheesecake

Hot Hot Hot!

In honor of their 30th anniversary, today (July 30th, 2008) The Cheesecake Factory is offering their delicious cheesecake at just $1.50/slice for all dine-in customers.

Get the new limited-edition chocolate cake cheesecake and a quarter from each slice sold goes directly to America’s Second Harvest to fight hunger, too. Why, it’s practically a humanitarian effort that you go have some cheesecake, today. Honest.

What?
