Yes, it’s time to stock up on shoes through the Target Daily Deals! Although that’s really only the starting place; yes, they have four pairs of deeply-discounted shoes in the deals, today. But this week all shoes are buy one pair, get the second half off. (Apparently Target turned into Payless while we weren’t looking.)
Buy those two pairs through the Daily Deals and they’ll ship for free. Buying more? Orders of $50+ also ship for free. And don’t forget coupon code URTYJLI8 for an extra 10% off!
I’m not a huge fan of Target shoes, myself, but they’ll certainly do for the kids. Time to stock up for my little Bigfoots….

Okay, you can just insert your own putting-bricks-on-the-kids’-heads joke here, and we can all commiserate about our quickly-growing children for a minute. Okay? Everyone good? Excellent! Moving on to the deal…
… they’ve just taken new markdowns on Spring merchandise (read: are you ready for Easter?) at Children’s Place, and coupon code FAMILYA9 will give you an additional 15% off through March 16th, 2010.
Just in case you have a kid or two who got up this morning two inches taller than they were last night. Not that that’s every happened ’round here, or anything.

How much do I love the t-shirts at ThinkGeek? I could recount the many, geeky ways I love them, but geekery just ran into frugality and had a miraculous love child, so I’ll stick with sharing that.
On their t-shirt page, take a look at the “Customer Favorites” column all the way on the right, there. The top item is the “Amazing T-shirt Grab Bag.” For one low price, you get one awesome mystery ThinkGeek shirt.
I think I have something in my eye. Stop looking at me.

I know that Justice seems to do a 40% off coupon pretty regularly, but it just figures that last week I wanted one and couldn’t seem to find a current one. No matter! Now we can use code 774 for all purchases of hip girly clothes through March 22nd, 2010, bringing their prices down from the “Are you kidding me?” area firmly into the “Maybe for your birthday if you behave” range.
I should probably have my daughter write them a personal thank-you letter, now that I think of it. If she stops carrying on about how everyone else’s mom lets them shop there I’ll have to mention that.

Need a cute new dress for Spring? Hop on over to the The Limited, where for the next two hours only (noon to 2:00 p.m. Eastern) you can use coupon code 260 to take 40% off of any regularly-priced dress.
This is one of those you snooze, you lose kinds of things. But if you’re online on your lunch break, well, victory (and a bargain) may be yours.

We’ve had a couple of days of gorgeous weather, and I’m dreaming of summer. Apparently the folks at 6pm.com are, too, because today’s specials are all about stuff you’ll be ready to rock out with this summer. They’ve got Reefs, Ocean Minded, and I don’t know how I missed O’Neill for all of this time, because in addition to shoes they have some adorable (and cheap) clothing.
I’m ready for flip flops and fruity drinks by the pool, man.

We haven’t had a Coldwater Creek deal in a while, have we? Check this out: Shop now through March 11th, 2010, and use coupon code FB2550 to take $25 off your $50+ purchase.
(This is the sort of thing that will absolutely kill my morning; I’ll spend way too much time figuring out how to get my order as close to $50 as possible. It’s a sickness, I’m aware.)

Someone left a comment last week asking me just how many pairs of shoes I have. I suppose it’s logical to conclude I’m some sort of minor Imelda Marcos based upon my deep love of pretty shoes, but the truth is that I don’t actually have all that many pairs of shoes compared to most women I know. For one thing, I window shop a lot. For another, I often shop for the rest of my family (fulfilling my shoe jones without actually outfitting myself). And finally, I’m pretty good about rotating through my closet and donating stuff I haven’t worn in a long time.
Be all of that as it may, I was, um, in my closet yesterday realizing that I’m about to capacity until the next clean-out, so I am not shopping for shoes right now. Even though today’s deals at 6pm.com include New Balance, Dansko, Clarks… um, is it warm in here? No? Just me? Ahem.
Okay, well, you go shop and have a good time. Just, uh, come back and tell me if you got something good. I need a little vicarious thrill to tide me over.

I know, who could imagine we need more shoe deals, right? But as much as I love 6pm.com, I sometimes have trouble finding what I want for my kids, there. (I never have any trouble finding shoes for me, however….)
So I hopped on over to Famous Footwear, which has several advantages over 6pm, particularly for kids’ shoes. First of all, if you buy three or more pairs, shipping is free. Second of all, I can always manage to buy three or more pairs, because I have a local Famous Footwear and you can do returns there (just sayin’). Third, right now you can use coupon code BLOOM for 20% off your order.
And finally—and this is key—I discovered that searching the “Sale” category doesn’t actually show you all of the sale shoes. (Why? I have no idea. Site glitch, I’m guessing.) When I searched the sale shoes for my son, I didn’t find anything I wanted. When I just searched boys’ athletics, though, I found him a pair of New Balance sneakers for $40 off (that hadn’t shown up in the Sale section). I used the 20% off, ordered three pairs (what? my daughter needed shoes, too), and congratulated myself on another great bargain find.

Two pieces of excellent news for you this morning:
1) I have decided to live. (I know you were worried.)
2) In addition to the usual suspects on sale at 6pm.com today, they’ve also provided a handy link to “Great new discounts” in both men’s and women’s shoes (scroll down the main page a bit to see them), and it’s a veritable cornucopia of brands and styles at those rock-bottom 6pm prices we love.
Frankly, I wouldn’t blame you for being more excited about the second item than the first one. I kind of am.
