There’s still time to score for Mom

by Mir at 11:16 am on May 10, 2019 in For the kids, Hot Hot Hot!, What to Wear

Whether you still need something for Mom or you just have some random shopping to do (something for the house, or new clothes for the kids, or something for yourself!), thank goodness there’s almost always a big sale event at Kohls.

Right now they’ve got the usual sales and doorbusters happening, plus you’ll earn $10 Kohls Cash for every $50 you spend, plus coupons galore. Have a Kohls charge card? (If not, why on earth not? It’s the only store card I have, because the coupons make it 100% worth it.) Use coupon code MOM30 for an extra 30% off and code MAYMVCFREE for free shipping on any size order. No card? You can still get free shipping on your $75+ order, plus use code DAYLIGHT15 for 15% off. Everyone can stack code MOMSDAY10 for $10 off your qualifying $50+ Mother’s Day purchase, code PATIOSAVE50 for $50 off your $200+ qualifying patio furniture purchase, or JEWELRY20 for an additional 20% off fine or silver jewelry.

Even better, many items are available for online order and store pickup, so if you need something in a hurry, they’ve got you covered. Not that you would ever leave anything to the last minute, of course. Just hypothetically.

Time for our favorite undies

by Mir at 10:19 am on May 6, 2019 in Hot Hot Hot!, What to Wear

Do I post everysingletime Aerie has a deal on panties? Yes. Yes, I do. I’m not sorry. Their stuff is cute and comfy and pretty durable and I don’t know when I reached an age where underwear costs upwards of $20+ per piece at “department stores,” but I’m not spending that kind of cash. So! Right now Aerie has panties at $35 for 10, but if you add 10 to your cart and apply coupon code SPRING, it brings the total down to just $25. $2.50/pair?? That’s cheaper than the stuff that comes in packages at the big box stores.

Shipping is free with ShopRunner (and ShopRunner is free if you have PayPal), otherwise it’s a flat $7 on orders up to $50, after which it’s free. (And yes, there’s lots of other stuff on sale, too, of course.)

Be forewarned that the site is running pretty slow right now, but it’s worth it to muscle through if you like their stuff. Also: If you’re new to Aerie, be advised that they are definitely Juniors sizing. (In other words: Those of us who aren’t teens need to size up!)

For the young (and young at heart)

by Mir at 10:09 am on April 25, 2019 in Hot Hot Hot!, What to Wear

I’m not a huge fan of Forever 21 if I’m looking for, you know, clothing which will stand the test of time (both in terms of style and durability), but my girlchild looooooves them, and even I have to admit they sometimes have cute stuff. So this deal is for her, and anyone else who needs, uhhh, unicorn bath salts and a snarky crop top.

Right now they’re running “4 Days of Deals” where you can click to take a ride on the ferris wheel (yeah, marketing is weird, y’all) and get a coupon. You could get a percentage off, or buy 1 get 1, or even a gift card! Combine that with the sales already going, or use coupon code TAKE5 to just take $5 off your $5.01+ order. You can choose free ship-to-store, or shipping starts at around $6. So there’s some good deals to be had, depending on what you’re wanting.

I do feel like I need to wear sunglasses while browsing the site, though. So. Much. Glitter.

Best LOFT sale ever? Maybe!

by Mir at 11:13 am on April 23, 2019 in Hot Hot Hot!, What to Wear

Listen, I have shopped many a LOFT sale in my time and gritted my teeth and paid the shipping because the prices were so good and the clothing so cute. (Example: I did indeed buy the blouse I was gushing about in this post well over a year ago and I still get tons of compliments every time I wear it because it’s amaaaaazing.) I’ve never seen them have a great sale and free shipping at the same time, and I’ve accepted that.

Until today. Today, the sale is on just about everything (and that includes an extra 60% off the most deeply-discounted Clearance items), and you can use coupon code SURPRISE for free shipping on any size order. It’s like Christmas came early! Just get a move on, because it ends tonight.

Heads up for shoe deals

by Mir at 12:58 pm on April 16, 2019 in For the kids, Hot Hot Hot!, What to Wear

I’ll confess to being slightly less enamored of 6pm.com since they went to a $50 minimum for free shipping (boooo…), but I do still check over there periodically because sometimes the deals are worth it, especially if you have a bunch of shopping to do. Well, today would be a good day to stock up—they’re doing a Tax Week Sale, with some of the lowest prices I’ve seen there since Black Friday.

You know they have more than shoes, too, right? I mean, I’m not saying I’m going to buy myself this rose gold moto jacket, necessarily, but if I was, I sure would rather pay the current $35 price for it than the original $195….

If you were planning to outfit your rapidly-growing kids (or yourself) for the season change, anyway, you may just find some awesome deals. Check it out.

I went to Kohls and I didn’t die

by Mir at 10:34 am on March 27, 2019 in For the kids, Hot Hot Hot!, What to Wear

Y’all know I absolutely adore Kohls, right? They’ve always got sales and coupons and bonuses, and they carry pretty much everything. But usually I shop them online, because as we all know, I am sort of allergic to going to the actual store. But I did! This weekend! My oldest was home for spring break and needed a few things, so we hit the actual store and cleaned up. Plus, we were in the checkout line when we realized we were just about $2 short of getting that sweet, sweet Kohls Cash, so then I had to buy a Godiva chocolate bar for us to eat on the way home. So, win-win!

I was just pulling said Kohls Cash out of my purse and realized there’s still time to score on this round of goodies, so let me help you get in on the deals:

* Right now everyone gets free shipping on $75+, 15% off with code SPRINGTIME, and $10 Kohls Cash for every $50 you spend. In addition, take $10 off $50+ on eligible Kids’ purchases with code KIDS10 or $10 off eligible Women’s purchases with code STYLE10.

* But through 3/31/19, Kohls Card holders also get free shipping on any order with code MARMVCFREE, plus save an additional 30% with coupon code FASHION30.

Do remember that Kohls will take deductions in the way most beneficial to them, so if you have 30% off and $10 off, they’ll take the $10 first, to reduce the percentage off. Also, you need to have those all-important $50 increments for Kohls Cash after coupons, and before taxes. Still, it’s hard to argue with savings like these, especially on top of their eight gazillion sales events.

Gear up with Eddie

by Mir at 10:14 am on March 25, 2019 in Hot Hot Hot!, What to Wear

It’s time for one of my favorite (and rare) sale events: Right now almost everything at Eddie Bauer is automatically at least 40% off (if not more), and you’ll get free shipping on every order, regardless of how much you spend. Gearing up for a safari? Free shipping. Want a single pair of socks? Free shipping!

If you want even more extra savings, shop the Clearance and apply coupon code MARCH50 for another 50% off the reduced price. You know that’s where I’m shopping.

Usually they have a sale or free shipping, but not both. Don’t miss your chance to scoop up these deals.

Time to make the kids adorable

by Mir at 11:28 am on March 20, 2019 in For the kids, Hot Hot Hot!, What to Wear

Really the only reason I can think of to have a lot of kids is so that you can dress them alike for holidays, right? I mean, I’m not an expert or anything, but I’m pretty sure that’s true.

If your kids are still wearing actual kid sizes (as opposed to having a kid who now regularly raids your closet, not naming any names…), today’s a good day to go stock up at Children’s Place on everything, because they’ve got matching Easter clothes, sure, but also everything else they might need, and today:
1) The whole store is at least 60% off,
2) except for shoes, which are 50% off,
3) and you earn $10 Place Cash for every $10 spent,
4) plus every order ships for free!

I see they’ve even expanded their sizing some since my kids outgrew them—there’s an entire “tween” section now. I’m only a little bitter.

Love Levi’s? You’ll love this

by Mir at 12:20 pm on March 12, 2019 in Hot Hot Hot!, What to Wear

A great-fitting pair of jeans is pretty much the Holy Grail for every woman I know, and so I know that when I find a pair I love I stock up. Recently I found a pair of Levi’s while I was thrifting that have since become a favorite, so imagine my delight when I hopped over to their site today and discovered they’re doing their Friends & Family sale!

Just use coupon code LETSGO for 30% off and free shipping on every order. It works on items already on sale, so that can add up to huge savings.

Plus, it’s not like all they sell is jeans. I mean, yes, they have jeans. All kinds of jeans! For the whole family! But they have lots of other stuff, too.

So here’s a new thing

by Mir at 12:01 pm on March 11, 2019 in Bragging on a deal, What to Wear

Hello! You may have noticed that there’s a new display doohickey (technical term) along the side of the blog now, and that leads to my Poshmark closet. For the last few months I’ve started working on both cleaning out some excess and turning my love of actual, physical thrifting into a revenue stream instead of just being someone who has way too many clothes. (Although, listen, I recently found myself the softest cashmere cardigan in the history of ever for a dollar. True story.) I’m still wading through literal stacks of clothing to list, but I’m getting there.

So! What does this mean? Well, first of all, if you haven’t joined Poshmark yet, and you elect to, you can put wantnotdotnet as your invite code and you’ll get a $5 credit toward your first purchase and I’ll get a $5 credit for inviting you. That’s good, because it saves you money and I am still getting the hang of not spending all my proceeds (because, seriously, some of the deals there are bananas). Second, I will give an automatic 10% off to any blog reader who shops my closet and buys 1-2 items, plus I offer an automatic 15% off to everyone if you buy 3+ items, but for blog readers I will make that 20%. The only hitch here is that communication on Poshmark is somewhat limited, so you either need to email me or comment on an item (“Love your blog” or “longtime blog reader” or whatever you want) so that I know to give you the discount. Note that items have prices, but you can either make an offer on a single item or create a bundle and then make an offer on the bundle.

Anyway, that’s part of what I’ve been up to, and another way you can save some money with me these days. Questions? Comments? Requests? Hit me up!
