Woot-Off loves me, this I know
Hey, I have been fielding a variety of not-on-the-computer kind of crap stuff, and Woot was kind enough to launch a Woot-Off just to keep y’all busy while I do that. So thoughtful!
They’re wooting off all day at the original Woot, plus at Kids.Woot, Home.Woot, Sport.Woot, and—everybody’s favorite—Wine.Woot. Pay just $5 shipping for as many deals as you can score today, and if that’s not proof that there’s still good stuff in the Universe, I don’t know what is.
These are M-shirts (for Mom)
I suppose they’re getting ready for Mother’s Day, but whatever the reason, Tanga has a batch of mom-themed t-shirts priced at just $5.99 each, today. I’m partial to the “Because I said so” shirt, myself, but there’s seven different ways to proclaim your allegiance and/or maternal pride.
Shipping appears to be $1.99/shirt. Still, $8 for a shirt is pretty good.
C’mon, spring
Ladies, start your pedicures! I have it on good authority that even those of you living in areas where it’s snowed recently are going to be seeing warmer weather very soon. I know that I, personally, like to celebrate those first new days of spring by taking a cheese grater to my hooves and then painting on some obnoxiously bright polish.
(What? Oh, relax. It’s not a real cheese grater. I don’t think.)
Anyway, what is my point here? (Even I forget, sometimes….) Ah, yes! My point is that today 6pm.com is featuring an up-to-70% off sandals boutique, and what better way to reward yourself for surviving another long, cold winter than with a pair of pretty new sandals (on big sale)? Exactly.
Cheese graters not included.
Portable, storable outdoor grilling
Maybe you don’t have the space for a behemoth outdoor grill; maybe you like to tailgate or you belong to a roving band of wandering barbecuers. I don’t know. I don’t judge! the point is that maybe you need a grill you can pack up and/or move around.
Today’s Amazon Gold Box holds that grill. It’s the Cuisinart CGG-200 All-Foods 12,000-BTU Portable Outdoor Tabletop Propane Gas Grill (can you say it five times fast?), and at today’s price of $117, this is the cheapest it’s ever been. With nearly 200 reviews it’s averaging around 4.5 stars, too.
And then after you get it, please invite me to your traveling barbecue, because that sounds kind of fun.
These savings are for hippies (and others)
So, uh, today’s April 20th. You know, 4/20? And that has some rather questionable connotations, I know, but leave it to The Body Shop to make this day a thing of beauty.
See, today The Body Shop is offering their entire line of Hemp products at 4 for $20. Just $5 each, and that includes the Hemp Body Butter (one of my favorites), making it just $5. You can buy up to 8 products on this special, and shipping is automatically free on your $50+ order. It’s a great time to stock up!
I know hemp is supposed to be a hippie thing, but the body butter is unbelievably moisturizing and smells like… well, it’s slightly earthy, but then basically unscented after it soaks in. I declare it completely acceptable even for those of us who’d rather have dry, scaly skin than smell like patchouli. Pinky swear.
Because Minecraft makes us feel better
I’ve spent most of today alternately listening to/reading the news and staying as far away from the news as possible. It just seems like… a very bad week for humanity. I don’t know.
Shopping in light of everything else going on feels ridiculous. But sometimes you need a diversion.
So here you go, Minecraft addicts (mine is playing in the other room right now): The LEGO Minecraft micro-set is back in stock at Amazon—at the full retail cost of $35, yes—and for those of you who were dying to find it before Christmas when it was nearly impossible to get, maybe this is good news. (And yes, I paid full price for one. The boychild loves it, so as a rare splurge it was a good investment to my mind.)
If you’re thinking about getting into Minecraft, yourself, or you have a patient older child who doesn’t believe YouTube is the only educational avenue available, you might also want to pick up Minecraft for Dummies, which is currently just $5.86.
Personally, I prefer a blank stare when my kid wants to talk about Minecraft, but there you go.
Portable sunlight on Lightning Deal!
If you’re like me, right about the middle of April is the time when you conclude that really, maybe you don’t have Seasonal Affective Disorder, after all! You feel fine! The fact that the days have been getting longer is just a coincidence.
I feel you. But now is actually a great time to lay in preparations for next year.
So! Go, right now, to the Amazon Gold Box and look at the current lightning deal—it’s the Philips Hf3321 Golite for just $60, the lowest it’s ever been. This is a great, portable little sunlamp to get you through those long winter months.
I have an earlier iteration of this lamp and it’s fantastic… plus, I paid a lot more for it. Go get it before it’s gone, if you’re in the market.
See, I told you
You know how every time there’s a Woot-Off and I link to something over on Wine.Woot, I make a comment about how it’s not just wine? And someone (or several someones) will tease me for always pointing that out? Today is vindication, baby! Because today’s Wine.Woot is a 4-bag sampler of 1000 Faces Coffee, and not only is that not wine (ha!), but 1000 Faces is local to me and I love them.
They do a booth at our local Farmer’s Market, and some Saturdays that’s the only thing getting me up early enough to go buy fresh veggies.
Anyway, it’s a good deal on delicious coffee. Not wine. Go get it.
Fight the pollen
It’s springtime! Or—as we like to call it here in Georgia—Pollen-time. Everyone has their favorite allergy med, but if you favor Alavert (it’s dissolvable Loratidine, the same stuff that’s in Claritin), check out this 60-pack at Amazon. It’s currently just under $19, with an available $3 coupon to clip, plus you can buy it via Subscribe & Save to save additional money and get free shipping.
We’re in, like, advanced allergy misery over here, so we use Allegra, but this is a great deal if it’s what works for you.
Smooth it out with Spanx
I love Spanx. I know their big thing is that they make you look smaller, but really, that’s not why. Their stuff makes you look smoother. The older I get, the more I appreciate that. Ahem.
Anyway! Today you can take advantage of their employee discount—whatever you buy, use coupon code SPANXEMPSPRING20 for 20% off and free shipping. This is one of those brands that hardly ever goes on sale (and is often excluded from coupons at other stores), so this is perfect if you need a little… you know… smoothing for any upcoming events. Or whatever. (They also have some pretty cute swimwear, but even with the code that’s a bit rich for my blood….)
