Well that’s adorable
Got Prime? Hop on over to Amazon and grab Iota, the Great Big Game in the Teeny-Weeny Tin from Gamewright right now for just $5.34 shipped (its lowest price ever). I’ve never been disappointed by Gamewright, and with a 4.5 star rating, Iota looks to be another hit. (Think a more complicated Qwirkle.)
Plus it’s just adorable and perfect for a stocking stuffer. Just sayin’.
Have a very personalized Christmas
Ready to gear up for Christmas in earnest? Today (Tuesday, November 11th) only, all seasonal decor at Pottery Barn Kids is 30% off, and most of it has free shipping and free personalization, too.
Search on santa hat to find Santa hats (hello, Captain Obvious…) because they’re not showing up in the holiday section, for some reason. But $7 shipped for a personalized Santa hat seems like a crazy good deal to me!
It wouldn’t be weird if I bought Santa hats for my dogs, right…?
Kick off your week with Kohls
So it’s the start of a new week, and the last day of the big Veteran’s Day Sale over at Kohls. There’s tons of doorbusters, everyone gets automatic free shipping on $50+, and with their new Yes2You program, you can be earning points for free stuff all the time, not just when it’s time for Kohls Cash.
Even better: Everyone can use coupon code VETSDAY10 for $10 off $25+, and if you have a Kohls charge, you can also use code FALL20 for another 20% off. (Yeah, no matter what order you input them in, it’ll do the percentage off after the $10 off, but still, discounts are discounts.) No Kohls charge? You can use the $10 off code and THANKS8131 for another 15% off.
I guess I’ll go do some shopping, as my manchild recently assured me that he has “plenty of long-sleeved shirts that fit!” Plenty = 3. New math, I suppose.
Got clean carpets?
I both love and loathe cleaning our carpets; on the one hand, they look so nice after! On the other, oh good lord, look at all that dirty water! We were living in squalor, maybe we should just burn this house down and start over. (Yes, it is complicated being me, why do you ask?)
Anyway, a few years ago I picked up this Hoover SteamVac SpinScrub machine from Amazon on a Lightning Deal, and I have loved it ever since. I got it for a little bit cheaper than the current $98 price tag, but that’s still a really good deal (and unlike a Lightning Deal, not one you have to be in the right place at the right time to grab). If you’re in the market for such a machine, I definitely recommend it, and that’s a pretty great price.
Do you wanna build a snoooowmaaaan?
Are your kids obsessed with all things Frozen? (Don’t think the fact that mine are teens renders us exempt; they simply serenade each other with will you help me hide a body? instead.)
If you have little ones who love it, though, get on over to Tanga, today. They’ve got a box of 9 rolls of Frozen stickers available for just $4.99 (or $4.88 if you’re logged in and a frequent shopper there) with free shipping. (For reference: It’s still $10 at Amazon.)
This would be perfect for stockings, birthday parties, whatever. I mean, I draw the line at buying them for my teenage son, but you know what I mean.
I just really love my Ninja
I know I talk about my love for my Ninja Cooker a lot. (Like, a lot a lot.) But it’s only because it makes my life as a busy human who still enjoys really good home-cooked food a lot easier.
When these babies debuted at $200, I said, “Wow, this is fantastic, but I don’t know that I could justify spending this kind of money if I hadn’t received this one as a gift.” Over time, the prices have dropped, but still, I could totally understand how it would be hard to justify. Well, today Amazon has the Ninja 3-in-1 Cooking System MC701 available for just $99.99—its lowest price ever. A decent crock pot with programmable settings and a time will run you about $75, so this brings it right down into doable territory, I think.
And lest you think I’m just pretending to love this thing (I’m not!): Last night we had this pork tenderloin for dinner. (My modifications: I put the pork down on a bed of sliced onions, then add chunks of sweet potatoes to the crock, as well). When it was time to eat, I took the meat and veggies out of the cooker, turned it up to the high skillet setting, and in five minutes had a delicious balsamic reduction to put over the meat. With a conventional crock pot I either would’ve had to dirty another pot on the stove or turn it up to high about 30 minutes before we wanted to eat.
Hi, my name is Mir, and I love my Ninja.
Start making your list (and checking stuff off)
Ready to start holiday shopping in earnest? Right now Target is offering free shipping on every order, just because. I’m seeing some awesome clearance deals in bedding (entire bedding sets at great prices, so heads up if you’ve got a kid moving out next year), but really, there’s slashed prices all over the place.
And this way, you don’t have to find a parking spot or steer a cart around the store while small children run in front of you, shrieking. (I mean, unless you have small shrieking children of your own, in which case, I can’t help you.)
Round out your tabletop before Thanksgiving
My husband and I have a running joke about how we never have a gravy boat when we need one. This is because we only ever need one at Thanksgiving, and it was a good six years or so of “Do you have a gravy boat somewhere?” “No, wait, do you?” before we finally purchased one. Want to come over for Thanksgiving? We have a gravy boat.
If you need a gravy boat—or other tabletop or cooking essentials—ahead of the holiday, hop on over to Oneida, today. Coupon code HW20 takes an additional 20% off even clearance items, plus it’ll give you flat-rate $2.99 shipping on your order.
Flatware, baking tools, whatever… it’s all available at a huge discount. And yes, they do have a gravy boat available in the clearance. You’re welcome.
Save (and win) at The Body Shop
I am running low on body butter, and winter is just about upon us. I don’t want to be melodramatic, or anything, but I’m pretty sure that’s a potential national emergency.
So: Two awesome goodies for you, this morning.
First, you can visit Savings.com to generate an exclusive 40% off coupon code (single-use, limited number of codes available) to get your shopping on right now at The Body Shop, if you like. Codes are valid through November 5th, or until they’re all given out (which will probably happen by the end of today, honestly).
Second, you can also register to win a $25 Body Shop Gift card, and hey, your chances aren’t bad at all, because Savings.com is giving out forty of those bad boys.
Basically, shop now with the discount, sign up to get some money to spend later, too. Win-win. And don’t skimp on the body butter; the next polar vortex is coming.
The best almond butter, at the best price
I have a little love affair going on with Barney Butter, and not just because the name makes me giggle for some reason. Listen, I want to like the all-natural, no-sugar-added, blessed-by-holistic-fairies versions of nut butters, I do, but… I don’t. I like the ones that don’t require stirring with an industrial drill bit to get rid of the oil slick, and a lovely smooth texture, and yes, I like a little added sugar. Sue me. (Barney Butter does all-natural without making it taste like wood pulp, is my point.)
Anyway! Right now Amazon has this 3-pack of 10-ounce Barney Butter smooth Almond Butter available for just $13.48, which is already its lowest price ever. Buy via Subscribe & Save, get your 5+ items going for the month, and you can save up to an additional 20% if you have Mom Prime. It’s just $10.78 shipped, then, which is, what, about $3.50/jar, which is a crazy fantastic price.
Also, I recently discovered this recipe which is a nice bread-like option if you’re Paleo or (like me) gluten-free. Yum.
