Free shipping at Children’s Place today

Once more, with feeling: Today (Monday, May 7th, 2012), Children’s Place is offering free shipping on every order, automagically. (Yes, I know that’s not really a word. I just like it, okay?)

You can also apply coupon code W2H2012 for another 15% off, too.

They have boys’ sleep pants for just $5 each! I’ve been looking for those.

It’s baaaaaack!

Every so often the $12 Bra Sale comes back to Maidenform, and improperly supported bosoms everywhere rejoice. (Uh, not because they have improper support. But because they can get proper support, cheap. Obviously.)

Right now there’s 14 different choices marked down to just $12, and for the next few days, every order ships for free, automatically. It’s the perfect time to admit that really, any bra—no matter how loved—is at the end of its life if you’re holding it together with a safety pin. Not that I’ve ever done that. Ahem.

What up, Threadless?

I just got an email from Threadless saying that I could use coupon code MAY30 for 30% off my $20+ order, but then I tried to use it and it didn’t work. I was, however, buying only shirts in the $9.95 section, so it’s kind of hard to complain about spending $10 instead of $7, when my picks were originally $24 (especially when they’re my kids’ favorite shirts).

I’m still a little miffed that the email says “some exclusions apply” but then I couldn’t figure out the exclusions. Perhaps, say, that you can’t use the code on items already on sale? No matter; maybe you can use it on something. [Edited to add: Apparently it only works on items ending in .00.]

But you can’t use it on this shirt, I can tell you that for sure. I can also tell you I bought it anyway, because hello, my Monkey needed a monkey shirt. Obviously. (Also: Hypotamoose!)

Hey Baby, cute legs

What’s the best way to celebrate Cinco de Mayo? Why, with BabyLegs, of course! They’re the perfect way to transition to warmer weather—throw on shorts and a t-shirt, add BabyLegs for the cool morning, remove when it gets hot later—and before you know it you’ll wonder how you ever dealt with dressing your baby or toddler without them.

Trust me; these didn’t exist when my kids were little and I’m still kind of bitter. (Who, me? Hold a grudge? Nah.)

Get on over to the Cinco de Mayo celebration going on right now at BabyLegs and click to “break the piƱata” and get a coupon code. Or let me help you out: Coupon code CDM55OFF will take 55% off your entire order, excluding the “babynobugs” line (which is, I think, their newest patterns). No worries, though, there’s plenty of other eligible choices.

Plus BabyLegs are a much more family-friendly option for the holiday than tequila.

Turning my Monday into Wednesday

Have you noticed I’m not exactly here today? Yeah, me too. I’m playing cabbie/nurse/mother today, doing the multiple-doctors’-appointments mambo. Trust me, I would rather be here.

While I dole out yet another copay (or four), let’s just pretend Monday is over. I am not enjoying it, so I’m going to pretend it’s Wednesday, instead. You know—week half over, and a big sale at Kohls! The week still has a ways to go, but it’s true that Kohls has a big sale on. Is it just for me? No matter, I’ll take it!

Everyone gets free shipping on $75+, automatically. And everyone can use coupon code SUNSHINE20 for an extra 20% off, too. Sadly, there doesn’t seem to be a free shipping on any order code available, but I don’t have too much difficulty spending $75+, anyway. Ahem.

Pay half at Lane Bryant today

If you’ve been waiting for a good coupon code for Lane Bryant, today’s your day to shop: You can take $20 off your $40+ purchase today only with coupon code SHOPFASTLB.

Some exclusions to apply (I’m always sad it can’t be used on Spanx, because how great would that be?), but it can be used on sale items, so that’s good news. Shipping is free if you send it to your local store for pick-up, otherwise it’s a flat rate of $7.95/order.

I often encourage non-plus-size shoppers to check out these coupons because accessories are one-size-fits-all, but I see they’re on to me; purses and jewelry are excluded from this offer. Boo.

Get in on the Spring Fling at Aeropostale

Once again, I find myself trying to figure out how to buy the Aeropostale clothing my teen wants without having to take out a second mortgage on the house. Thank goodness for their frequent sales—for the next few days, join their Spring Fling and use coupon code SPR2012 for 25% off your entire order! Some exclusions apply, and it doesn’t work on Clearance items (boo), but it does work on non-clearance sale items, so there’s definitely some bargains to be had.

Your label-conscious kiddos not quite up to teen sizes yet? Don’t worry, you can use coupon code SPRPS2012 to save 25% at PS from Aeropostale, too. (I actually like a lot of their kids’ clothes better than their “adult” stuff. Less hoochie.)

Bad news, good news

The bad news is that yesterday, Urban Outfitters had their “OMG Sale” and I forgot to tell you. I’m sorry!

The worse news is that apparently the sale was so popular, the site crashed a whole lot.

But the really good news is that because of the site crash, they’ve extended the sale and today every order ships for free! That’s my kind of sale.

And before someone makes a comment about the clothing there… I know. If I ever want to feel old and curmudgeonly, I browse their clothing. That said, I think some of their Apartment sections holds many things pretty and/or hilarious, so I skip the skimpy tank tops and head straight for the shower curtains and word magnets.

Lots to love at Lands’ End

I’ve been waiting for a new Lands’ End coupon, and thankfully I didn’t have to wait for long. Right now you can use coupon code PICK30 with PIN 3022 to get 30% off and free shipping on anything that isn’t clearance!

Remember, Lands’ End no longer has an “Overstocks” section, they just have a “Sale” section. They also don’t always clearly demarcate their clearance items anymore, but anything that ends in .97 is a clearance item. The deal with this coupon is that it will take 30% off of anything, but only give you free shipping if there is at least one non-clearance item in your cart. (So it’s not that you can’t get free shipping on clearance, just that you have to buy at least one thing that isn’t clearance.)

Not that that’s usually a problem for me. Ahem.

Time to stock up at Old Navy

As if the prices at Old Navy aren’t already stock-up-worthy, they just keep churning out the coupons to make it a deal you just can’t refuse.

Shop them today and use coupon code ONSAVE20 for 20% off just about everything, or if you have a a store card (and that includes a card to Gap or Banana Republic, you know, because they are the Borg Collective of clothing stores) you can use coupon code ONSTUFF30 for an extra 30% off, instead.

Some exclusions apply, but there’s ton of stuff you can get for even less. And how can you not love a store where you can go shopping “for the kids” and end up with a few cute things for yourself?
