I, personally, will not be buying 10 pounds of Sour Patch Kids, because I’m on a diet and I have a kid in braces and even though they’re my family’s favorite candy ever, ten pounds is a lot of Sour Patch Kids, y’all.
But maybe you have ten kids or you’re having a “let’s ruin our teeth” party, in which case 10 pounds of Sour Patch Kids for just $25 shipped is a good deal and a great idea. Just sayin’.
Listen, you know I’m all about the deal; the cheaper the better, natch.
Which is why I have to tell you that I had a terrible moment of cognitive dissonance a minute ago. I saw these skybar wine chill drops and of course thought, “$50 for little thingies to chill your wine??!”
… but on the heels of that I thought, “Whoa. Those are really cool.”
And that’s when I had to put my head down on my desk and take a deep breath and remind myself just because they can make stuff like that, doesn’t mean I have to like it. Much.
Okay, off to try to smack the bourgeois off myself….
So you know how there’s been all of these Amazon markdowns? And I’ve been stalking the price changes, and looking for the best deals? I’ve found some really cool stuff this way.
I’ve also, unfortunately, discovered that someone thought this was a good idea. You know, because the world is experiencing a marked lack of large-breasted robot toys for children.
One of her actions is “blowing kisses.” Because that‘s not creepy.
Look, you know how much I’ve been enjoying the Target Daily Deals. One-day deals with free shipping is right up my alley.
But today is the day we’ll look back upon, shaking our heads sadly, saying that this, this was the day that Target jumped the shark.
Should you be interested, there’s a pair of $80 rain boots featured today. Yeah, they’re Dr. Martens, but I’m sorry, did you hear me? Target is selling $80 rain boots.
I fear the apocalypse can’t be far behind.
… but nonetheless, I posit that the booties in today’s Daily Deals at Target are too expensive at any price.
Furthermore, I suggest that the downfall of civilization as we know it comes via the bastardization of shoes. Ban the bootie! Shun the shootie!
Thanks. I feel better, now.
There’s a number of deals/stores I cruise through every morning as part of my routine, and this morning’s look through Buy.com turned up this crystal encrusted bling toaster.
Apparently it’s now a huge bargain at $70.
I can say only two things here:
1) That is the ugliest thing I’ve ever seen, and
2) “bling” and “toaster” are two words that don’t go together.
Carry on.
“Hey, how can we best ensure that kids hurt each other, and possibly even break their wiimotes?”
“I dunno.”
“I’m thinking. Wait! I’ve got it!! How about we make light sabers that attach?”
“That’s brilliant. Let me write up the product copy. Hmmmm. Oh! ‘Perfect for slashing games!’”
“We are brilliant!”
“Yes. Yes, we are.”
I have to say, I think that this guide to romance is kind of horrifying.
But in a really hilarious way.
And for $5 shipped, really, it’s just the sort of thing to have it in your gift closet for that time when nothing other than Captain Kirk’s Guide to Women will do. Oh, come on. You know there are times like that.
(It would be wrong to have my kids give this to my ex for Father’s Day, right?)
I was just checking the drugstore.com Deals of the Day and now I can’t stop laughing—one of their specials is $22 off the Pet’s Eye View Camera, bringing the price of putting a camera around your pet’s neck down to just $27.99.
That’s a great bargain! Unless you, y’know, have an actual life.
(Still laughing!)
Look; no matter your politics, any decent human has got to find this horrifying, right? Right?
As someone very wise once said: Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should.
