Lunch just got more fun
Whether you’re packing lunches for the kids or eating at home, everything’s about to get a lot more fun with Amazon’s help, today.
First, their Gold Box is stuffed full of Thermos deals today, from a light-up R2D2 bag to plain insulated water bottles for any age.
Second, if you house a couple of quesadilla fiends (like I do), this best-selling Hamilton Beach quesadilla maker is down to $11.99 again (its best price ever). Necessary? Probably not. Super fun? Heck yes!
Timing is everything at Old Navy
I clearly have back-to-school clothing shopping on the brain, today. Here’s another good one: Right now Old Navy is allowing you to take an extra 30% off with coupon code AMPM, and that’ll work until noon Pacific time, at which point it will switch to giving you 20% off until midnight Pacific time. School uniforms, Everyday Steals, and Hot Deals are excluded, but Sale/Clearance items are not, so a little digging can pay off, here.
Shipping is free on $50+, and that’s across the whole shared-cart family of stores (including Gap, Banana Republic, Athleta, and of course any item from Piperlime in your cart ships your whole order for free).
[Edited to add: Looks like it’s a Super Cash period, too—the more you spend, the more Super Cash you’ll earn towards a future purchase!]
Deep discounts on young adult trends
I never know how to refer to the clothing styles of older teens/young college students. Young adult? Teen? Skater-chic? Hipster-lite? Whatever you call it, Tilly’s has it, and right now they’re offering automatic additional discounts of 25% – 50% off on the stuff already on sale. We’re talking stuff for the girls starting at just a couple of bucks, and for the guys at not much more than that. Stock up before school starts, and they’ll think you’re the cool mom.
Shipping is a flat $8 up to $30, and after that, it’s free.
If you’re shopping for tech…
… this is a pretty nice deal if you’re in the market for both a television and a computer (or something else electronic, I guess).
Today at Dell, they’re offering a promotion on this
Samsung 32 Inch LED Smart TV. For starters, the regular price is supposedly $399, and they’re offering an instant $102 discount, bringing it down to $298 (which is closer to the price at other retailers, honestly). But here’s the awesome part—this set also comes with a $125 Dell promo credit, so if you’re wanting the TV and you’re planning another Dell purchase, that’s a slick way to rack up the savings, right there.
Shipping is free, as well. Just a little icing on the cake.
There’s a “BAM!” for that
If you’re in the market for new cookware and you’re a fan of Emeril Lagasse, you’re in luck, today. Right now Amazon has this 12-piece Emeril by All-Clad set available for just under $130—their lowest price ever.
The thing to understand about a chef-branded offshoot line like this is that, no, this isn’t “regular” All-Clad (which is top-of-the-line, commercial-grade cookware), but a lighter-weight set that still passes professional chef muster. That is to say, it’s still pretty nice, but not commercial grade. The reviews are very favorable. And the price is pretty much unbeatable for what you get; this set includes 8″ and 10″ fry pans, an 11″ sauté pan (the two largest of those three come with lids), 1.5 qt and 3 qt lidded pots, a steamer insert for the 3 qt pot, and a 6 qt stockpot. That’s a nice starter or replacement set if you’re in need. The pots are oven-safe to 500 degrees and it’s all dishwasher safe, too.
I’m a little sad I can’t justify more cookware right now, frankly.
Back to school scores
In addition to the usual shoe sales over at 6pm.com, they’re doing a bunch of Back To School spotlight sales today. That means you can get shoes and clothes, sure, but they also have some amazing deals on backpacks, tech cases, and even jewelry. (Ummm… do we need jewelry for back to school, now?)
If you have a kid who needs an indestructible backpack, search on k-swiss backpack to find a slew of 70% off options.
My favorite kind of back-to-school shopping is the kind I can do right here at my desk. My kids appreciate it, too.
Get your fruit snacks on
Love Annie’s Fruit Snacks and other snacky goodies for the kids? Right now Amazon is offering an additional 20% off coupon on many of their snack-time favorites, and that can be used in combination with Subscribe & Save savings, too, for a potential 40% off and free shipping.
My kids are 14.5 and 16. And you betcha I bought them some organic bunnies. I can do that, because I’m still their mommy even though they’re both taller than me now.
Stock up time at The Body Shop
How do I love The Body Shop? I can’t even begin to count the ways, though it would certainly start with the decadent body butters and end with the Tea Tree Oil line of facial products (currently my favorite solution for middle-aged, acne-prone skin). The better question is what of theirs don’t I love, and I’m not sure I know the answer.
Right now you can stock up and save big: Select products are Buy 1, Get 1 Free or Buy 3, Get 2 Free, plus you can use coupon code INDULGE for an additional $10 off $20+, plus shipping is free on your $50+ order. Perfect for grabbing all of the stuff you love for a whole lot less.
Off to stock up on my beloved Blemish Fade Night Night Lotion….
Highly effective teens?
Personally, I hear the phrase “highly effective teens” and I hear “sparkly unicorn.” Not that I don’t love teens. I do! I even love my personal teens! But “highly effective” is just… not how I’d describe them.
Well, I can’t think of a better passive-aggressive encouraging gift for your favorite teen before we segue into the new school year than this set: Grab the miniature edition of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens for just $3.82 (perfect for getting lost in the bottom of a backpack!), plus the companion The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens Workbook for just $3.30.
For under $10 you’ll either open up a whole new world of productivity for your kid, or create an environment in which you should probably sleep with one eye open. It could go either way.
Double your pleasure today
So here’s something you don’t see all that often—the Amazon Gold Box actually holds two great deals today!
The main deal is a The Lord of the Rings Blu-ray trilogy for just $37.99—their best price ever. And given the length of those movies and all the extras you get, that works out to about a dollar an hour for your entertainment.
But perhaps even better, the bonus deal of the day is this Garmin nüvi 2557LMT 5-Inch Portable Vehicle GPS with Lifetime Maps and Traffic for just $120. Lifetime maps and traffic are, to my mind, a deal at any price. But my favorite part of this particular deal is that (for some reason) this item is showing up as “#1 best seller in Air Guns.” Ummmmm… okay. Amazon, you crazy.
