One Blu-ray collection to rule them, Precious
If you’re a fan of the trilogy, don’t miss out on your chance to snag up the Lord of the Rings 3-Film collection on Blu-ray from Amazon right now for just $12.96. Around $4/movie would be good, anyway, but when you consider that each of these movies is super-long, it’s an even better deal. (I seem to remember feeling like one of them was close to 4 hours, but that may be me exaggerating because I saw it at the theater and really had to pee.)
For die-hard Tolkien fans, this one is a no-brainer.
Get your kicks…
… without spending too much.
It is what I fondly like to refer to as “it’s nearly Easter and the kids don’t have any dress shoes, darnitall” season. And given that my children’s feet grow at an astonishing pace and they wear those dress shoes once or twice before they no longer fit, I am reluctant to drop a lot of money.
So I head to Payless, usually. At least that way it doesn’t feel quite so wasteful. And right now—whether you need shoes for your kid or yourself—you can use coupon code 251419670 for 40% off one pair of shoes (and it works even on sale prices). Shipping is free on $35+, or ship your order to your local store for free and pick ’em up.
Hmmmmm. These shoes are a lot cuter than I remember. I don’t think my kids really need anything….
Trade in your old reader, save on a Kindle
If you’ve been on the fence about upgrading to a shiny new Kindle, maybe this will help push you over: Right now Amazon is offering an instant $20 Kindle credit when you trade in your old reader.
They’re not just giving you $20 towards a new Kindle for your old device, either; this is a $20 credit on top of the value of your trade-in. So, for example, if I decided to trade in my old 6″ Kindle Ink, it looks like I could get around $20 for the device, plus the instant $20 credit toward a new Kindle. I’m essentially doubling my money, there.
Now I just have to remind myself that my old Kindle works just fine….
The luck of the Irish = cheap shipping
Happy St. Patrick’s Day from Shopko—today (Monday, March 17th) only, you can get $.17 shipping on any order with coupon code IRISH17.
There’s a ton of stuff up to 90% off in the Clearance section, so it’s a perfect time to snap up that little thing (or two or three) you’ve been needing.
More Skylanders?
If your kids are Skylanders devotees, you’ll probably love this deal—right now Amazon has the Skylanders SWAP Force Sheep Wreck Island Adventure Pack for just $15.99 (free Prime or SSS available), their lowest price ever by about $9 (and the lowest I’ve seen anywhere, frankly).
I think the concept of needing little figures to play a video game is either super genius or super evil… probably a little of both. But I’m told this is a very popular system, so there you go. (I prefer to have my money taken and my feet injured the old fashioned way… on LEGOs.)
Monday just went all Funday
A Woot-Off on a Monday? What sort of insanity is this?? Must be… leprechaun magic, I guess.
Whatever it is, they’re wooting away at Woot, Home.Woot, Sport.Woot, Kids.Woot, and—everyone’s favorite—Wine.Woot. Products will appear in rotation for as little as just a few seconds or as long as half an hour. You never know what’ll pop up next or how good the deal will be, so you’ll just have to keep an eye out.
So far this morning I’ve already seen tablets, vacuums, and babies in bags. (To be fair, I think that’s a deal on sleep sacks, not babies.) There’s plenty of goodies to be had all day long, so I hope you’re not busy today.
Amazon raising the price of Prime: Save now!
Amazon continues to make Prime a little less awesome (boohoo!)—starting mid-April, the yearly cost of Prime membership will be increasing from $79/year to $99/year.
Personally, I will continue to pay for Prime, because I figure it’s saved me well beyond that $100 each year. That’s not going to stop me from grumbling a little, though. As one does.
Here’s the good news, though: If you’ve been thinking about getting Prime, well, now would be a great time to sign up, before the price increase, obviously. And the better news is that if you have Prime already and your renewal date is past mid-April, here’s how to get one more year at the old rate! Just go purchase a Prime gift subscription for yourself (you can use the same email addy, even) and set the gifting date as the day after your current subscription expires. Then turn off your auto-renew. Voila, you’ll automagically get an email about your gift on the day you specify, and then you can turn your auto-renew back on (if you like), and you’ve saved $20.
Make Starbucks in your Keurig
If you love the Starbucks K-cups—but not the regular price—today’s the day to buy ’em from the Starbucks online store. Right now if you buy any of their 16-count K-cup Packs, you can use coupon code KCUPBOGO16 to get one free one for every one you buy. Buy 1, get 1. Buy 2, get 2. (You get the idea.) I’m also seeing an automatic 15% additional savings on my order on top of the coupon, for some reason.
Shipping is a flat $4.95, or free on $75+. Woooooo, $75+ on BOGO K-cups would be a lot of coffee. I’m vibrating a little, just thinking about it.
Extra savings at Aeropostale
There’s tons of stuff in the Clearance section over at Aeropostale today, plus coupon code EXTRA30 takes an additional 30% off those clearance prices.
Shipping is a flat $7 on orders of up to $250; coupon code FREESHIP will give you free shipping, but cannot be combined with any other coupon. So if, say, you want to order one small thing, you’d be better off using the free shipping coupon. But if you’re ordering a bunch of stuff, use the 30% off coupon, instead.
The only thing that would make this sale better would be if 80% of their merchandise didn’t have their logo plastered all over it.
Get out and ride
I don’t know what the weather is like where you are, today, but in my neck of the woods it’s finally spring. (No, don’t bother telling me it’s going to get cold again. I’m not listening. Today it is spring.) And hey, Amazon’s got a couple of Radio Flyer deals perfect for getting your little ones out in the sunshine for some fun.
For kids 3-8, the Ziggle Ride-On is currently just $39.99 shipped (its lowest Amazon price ever). I kind of wish this one came in adult sizes.
And for kids 1.5-5, the Spin N Saucer is currently just $19.97 and free shipping eligible (also the lowest-ever Amazon price).
Edited to add: Oooooh, I just found this 3-in-1 Walker Wagon (it’s a big pink snail! so cute!!) for $29.69, also an all-time-low price.
Radio Flyer ride-ons are some of the sturdiest available, and when the prices dip like this, they go fast. Get ’em while the getting’s good!
