You married an idiot; here, have a book
I grabbed this simply because 1) it’s free and 2) the title made me laugh. Right now Amazon has the Kindle version of We All Married Idiots: Three Things You Will Never Change About Your Marriage And Ten Things You Can available for free.
If it doesn’t make you chuckle and intrigue you just a little bit, well, you’re probably on the wrong website.
Happy Halloween from goHastings
Today only, shop for pre-owned books, CDs, movies, and games at goHastings and you can use coupon code TRICKORTREAT to take 31% off your order. See what they did there? 31% on the 31st…? Yeah, I know. Pretty cutesy. But I will excuse them because at 31% off their already competitive prices, who cares why they did it.
And if you’re thinking of buying a game system for the holidays this year, well, do you really think the kids are going to care that you got a bunch of pre-owned games on sale to go with their new console? Exactly.
The candy antidote
After everyone stuffs themselves on candy tonight, you’ll want to make sure every last speck of caramel is cleaned away from even in-between teeth. You won’t have this for tonight, of course, but a great bargain is worth waiting for a few days for shipping—today’s Target Daily Deals are spotlighting an Oral-B Professional 1000 rechargeable toothbrush in a bonus pack for just $37 shipped. (For comparison: The toothbrush alone is currently $55 at Amazon, and the Target bundle includes free Whitestrips and coupons, too.)
The Amazon reviews are overwhelmingly positive, and you’re sure not going to beat today’s Target price. Viva la clean teeth!
Trick or treat, give us Restaurant.com
Sure, tonight you’ll be eating nothing but miniature candy bars, but eventually you might want a real meal, again. Today (October 31st) only, Restaurant.com is offering 60% off their already discounted prices with coupon code TREAT. That means you can get a certificate for $25 worth of dining for just $4 out of pocket! They’re good for a year, so buy today, eat whenever.
As always, read the fine print before you buy—the rules are set by the restaurants, not Restaurant.com, and exclusions may vary. Some of the certificates are simply $25 towards $35+, whereas others are $25 towards $50+, not valid on the weekends, cannot be used towards alcohol, must be wearing a blue shirt, and only when Mercury is in retrograde. (It’s possible I made part of that up just to keep you on your toes. Just read the fine print, okay?) If you can find a place you’d be going anyway, and the rules work for you, that’s $21 you don’t have to spend.
For your budding paleontologist
Got a kid who’s crazy about dinosaurs? I wouldn’t necessarily trust the supposed original price of $30 on this fossil collection at Amazon, but based on the reviews, at the current price of just $9.99, it’s a pretty good deal. Get real fossils and shark teeth along with informational cards about the items. Perfect for your home scientist or museum curator.
Of course, you could probably go scoop up some rocks outside and convince small children they’re fossils for free, but if you need the real deal, this might be a better option.
Free shipping at Williams-Sonoma
For one day only (today, October 30th, 2012), Williams-Sonoma is offering free shipping on every order with coupon code FREESHIP. This is perfect if you’ve been wanting just one small thing and couldn’t bear to pony up for shipping.
There’s plenty of deals in the Sale section—check out the Halloween clearance for the best markdowns. Of course, if you’re addicted to their Peppermint Bark (not naming any names…), now’s a good time to stock up on that, too. I just happened to notice that it’s on sale, but not showing up in the Sale section. You’re welcome.
Get your shades, help Sandy victims
Today’s big Deal of the Day at GraveyardMall is 6 pairs of women’s designer-brand sunglasses for $30 ($28 + $2 shipping). If you’re not too picky about your shades, this is a decent deal—I’ve done it before and got some glasses I really liked. But today is even better, because if you buy this bundle, GraveyardMall will donate $10 from your order to the Red Cross for Hurricane Sandy relief efforts.
So, is it a tough choice? $30 for a single pair of shades at the store, or $30 for 6 pairs delivered, plus hurricane relief. Seems pretty simple to me.
It’s the perfect time for premium pet food
I don’t think anyone in my family would argue that our dog is the most pampered member of our household. My children beg for treats at the store and I cruelly say no, but Licorice always gets her premium grain-free goodies because she’s my precious schmoopykins. (Don’t worry, I’ll make sure my kids get enough therapy to get over it.)
Now, part of how I justify her uber-expensive food is that she’s a small dog and doesn’t eat much. But those of you with larger dogs need to buy a lot of food, and if you buy the good stuff, that gets expensive pretty fast. Let me help: Right now Wag.com is running a promotion for new customers; you can use coupon code WAG30 for 30% off a single item. Spend $49+ before coupon and your shipping is free, too. That means it’s the perfect time to buy that giant bag of Orijen or Taste of the Wild or whatever. The free shipping alone is a huge savings on those big bags.
Of course, you don’t have to buy dog food. They have cases of cat food and all sorts of other stuff, too. But this coupon is fantastic if you have a spoiled friend or two in your house.
Free shipping from Disney today
Today (Monday, October 29th, 2012) only, Disney Store is offering free shipping on every order with coupon code FREESHIP. This is perfect if you’ve been wanting just one small item and couldn’t bear to pay the shipping.
Don’t forget that if you’ve got an upcoming Disney Park trip planned, you can save big by buying official park merchandise ahead of time and then doling it out during your vacation, rather than paying the in-the-park mark-ups. (Lots of the “official” stuff is on sale, even though it’s not listed in the Sale section.)
C’mon baby, light my (refurb) Fire
If you’ve been jonesing for a Kindle Fire (or if you’re thinking that might be on someone’s holiday list…), today’s Deal of the Day at CowBoom is a refurbished Kindle Fire for just $90 + $5 shipping—a far cry from the $200 retail price for a new one.
This would be perfect for a younger kid for whom you couldn’t stomach the thought of a $200 device. Or maybe tip off the grandparents, if this is a good “spoiled rotten” gift.
