I am oddly tempted by this Coleman inflatable boat. At $49.99 with free shipping, I might just blow it up and put the kids out on the pond in it when they get too loud. Would that be wrong?

If you’re needing some clothing, you might want to hop over to the Old Navy site today. Not only is there a ton of clearance available, you can reduce those items an additional 15% by using coupon code EXTRA15OFF. Shipping is always just a flat $5 for every order, or order $50+ and use coupon code SHIPSUMMER to ship it for free.
Sometimes their stuff makes me laugh (hey, skirts come in two lengths: “What Color Panties Are You Wearing” or “This Looks Nice With A Burqa”), but I do love their t-shirts, and their kids’ clothes are staples ’round here.
Have you ever gone into your child’s classroom and beheld one of those long rows of backpacks? And when you do, you notice that the backpack you bought your kids is the same as half the other backpacks lined up along the wall…?
Whether you want to make your kid’s bag more identifiable or you just want to have a little bit of fun, jazzing things up a bit, go take a look at the latest craze: PakNaks!
PakNaks are whimsical rubbery charms you can use on a variety of surfaces, but which seem to lend themselves most easily to backpacks and other bags. They attach via super-strong velcro, so you can attach one today and switch it out for another one, tomorrow! They’re fun for the kids who loves to personalize, and can also help you identify items more readily.
PakNaks retail for $3.99 apiece (plus shipping), but two lucky Want Not readers will each win five PakNaks of their choosing at the end of this contest. Just ’cause you’re pretty! And because the PakNak people are generous!
For a chance to win, go check out the available PakNak charms and then come back here to leave a comment on this post by 11:59 p.m. on Wednesday, May 14th, 2008, telling me which five PakNaks you want. Two lucky winners will be determined by random number generation and velcro, and they will receive the Naks they requested. One entry per person and all of that; play nice and don’t forget to pick your favorites.
Ready? Go!
I want you all to know that I think every single one of my readers is awesome, but when I hear that one of my readers is a real live roller derby girl—a Derby Doll, to be exact—I can’t help thinking there’s an extra helping of awesome involved. I’m just sayin’.
Anyway. Do you know Stila Cosmetics? Of course you do. What you may not know is that they do a Stila Girl of the Week every week, and this week, their girl is a member of the LA Derby Dolls. One of the perks she received is a friends and family type discount code, and so all this week you’re welcome to use coupon code SYDNEY20 for an extra 20% off and free shipping.
There’s just one catch. The Derby Dolls are hoping that Stila will see the light and decide to engage in some corporate sponsorship in the future. They (and other roller derby leagues across the country) are volunteer ventures, skater-owned and -operated, and some corporate help would really enable these ladies to sustain and expand what is one of the fastest-growing sports in America right now. To that end, the LADD is simply asking that if you use the coupon code, you also leave something in the “special notes” field when ordering as a shout out to the great sport of roller derby. I suggest, “ROCK ON, DERBY DOLLS!” But feel free to use your own words.
They’re giving you 20% off. Give ‘em some love, people.
The current cost of gas is making me an even bigger hermit than I used to be. I can justify very few reasons to get into the car and drive, and so I’m always on the lookout for free shipping deals, figuring we’re all trying to stay put a little more often these days.
Through tomorrow (May 13th, 2008), use coupon code L05118 to ship any size Lane Bryant order for free. So if you needed a little something, you’re all set. If you want to do a bunch of shopping, you’re set there, too. Either way.
There’s over 100 items in the clearance section, too.
Hey, it turns out many of you want to streamline your morning routine. Go figure! I never would’ve guessed that, but then again, I spend all day at the computer in my pajamas. So it’s possible I’m not the very best barometer for these things.
Anyway! I have only one Oral-B prize pack to give away, and that will be heading to the home of commenter 109, Kim! Congratulations, Kim! I hope your morning routine goes more smoothly, and that you enjoy your goodies.
Many thanks to all who played, and to Oral-B and my pal Charlie the PR ninja for donating the prize. (Setting my watch—how long will it take Charlie to email me because I just called him a PR ninja? Timing… now!) ‘Nother contest coming up later today (of course), so stay tuned.
Did you know that Nine Inch Nails is giving away their latest album? It’s true! Register and download the slip for free.
Maybe this doesn’t thrill you, but perhaps you have a teenager or a hipper friend who’ll be excited about it. (Me, I’m not a huge NIN fan, but free is always something to be shared, right?)
This contest isn’t going to be particularly sexy, but it does involve some free stuff you’d probably like to have, so check this out:
The folks at Oral-B say this: “Since we spend so much of our morning in the bathroom, try and use as many multitasking tools as you can like a two in one shampoo and conditioner or try a moisturizer with SPF built in.”
So what you’ll receive if you win is an Oral-B CrossAction Pro-Health toothbrush (motto: Space age technology and a really long name!), a bottle of Pantene Pro-V Full & Thick 2 in 1 Shampoo + Conditioner, and some Oil of Olay Total Effects Moisturizer with SPF 15. It will streamline your morning routine! And also be free!
For your chance to win, leave a comment on this post by 11:59 p.m. on Sunday, May 11th, 2008. One comment per person, with a valid email address, please! Winner to be chosen by random number generation and x-ray vision. Which is not built into any of the products you’ll be winning. Sorry.
Go!
Good morning! I may spend some time shopping for a new grill, today. On the other hand, I may just spend some time poking myself in the eye with a fork. It’s a tough choice, frankly.
But you should feel free to leisurely scan for whatever you need at the very best price, because I doubt I’ll be getting a deal today and someone should.
Free shipping is back at Lands’ End; just use source code SPLASH with PIN 530653065 through May 15th, 2008.
At Home & Beyond, using coupon code DINE on your $40+ order will get you a free $25 Restaurant.com certificate. (Check out their Hot Buys section.)
This weekend at Overstock you can take $20 off your $300+ order through that there link, and that actually combines with this weekend’s special, which is 5% off garden and patio items, so between the two, you could rake in the savings.
Today (Saturday, May 10th, 2008) only, get $5 off your $25 purchase at Toys R Us through that link there. There are some games on sale with free shipping, so I’d look at those to maximize the savings, personally.
Through the weekend, Fashion Bug is taking 40% off regular prices and an additional 20% off sale prices. Make it better with a coupon: 776214504 gets you free shipping on $75+, and 776214603 gives you 15% off any order.
Contest coming up later today, so come on back….
Hey, I don’t know much about tents (or camping, really, come to think of it…), but this Eureka tent appears to be quite the deal. Great reviews, and at $95.64 and free shipping it’s around $100 cheaper than any of the alternative buying options.
And lookee here—looks like you can get a $10 rebate, too.
Sleeps 10, which means it’s a pretty big model, but worth checking out if you need a larger tent. Or a smallish jail for your children.
