Hit the outdoors in Timberland

I’m trying to figure out exactly what’s going on here, but today on the Timberland site it says they’re taking an extra 40% off sale items and giving you free shipping, too. The only problem is that it looks like their main page says 40%, but product pages are still only giving 30%. Hrm. They could be in the midst of changing the promotion to the higher percentage, is my guess.

Either way, there’s tons of deals to be had, and if you decide to buy I’m guessing you could get customer service to take off that last 10% if it’s not all ironed out by the time you get to checkout.

Now all I have to do is stop looking at their shoes. I’m going to. In a minute….

It’s a great day to Bon-Ton

Need to do a little “everything” shopping? Now’s the time to hit Bon-Ton—not only are they running their big warehouse event, the yellow dot clearance is now 75% off. For non-yellow-dot items, use coupon code AUGWHSE2012 for up to an additional 20% off sale prices.

Shipping is a bit steep at a flat $9.95, but if you spend $100+ it’s free on your whole order. What a wonderful excuse to nab an extra pair of pretty shoes….

Another way it pays to Discover

Do you love your Discover Card the way I love mine? Do you love Amazon? Do you love it when a plan comes together? (Oh, wait. That might be something else….) Ahem. Where was I? Oh! Right!

If you have a Discover Card, you’re going to love Amazon for the next two weeks—all sorts of eligible items come with free one-day shipping when you pay with your Discover Card and apply coupon code DSCVRFSP. No muss, no fuss. Way easier than fighting the crowds at the stores, and you’ll have it in your hands almost as quickly.

And it’s not even Wednesday

What’s this, Kohls on a Tuesday? Blasphemy! But good blasphemy, because it’s the last day for the specials they kicked off last weekend, and you can redeem the Kohls Cash you have sitting around from the last earning period. This is a particularly good time to buy Levi’s on sale, but there’s also a bunch of new stuff in the Clearance and other good buys, too.

Pay just $.99/item shipping, or get automatic free shipping on your $75+ order. Everyone can use coupon code CC205022 for an additional 20% off, just to make it all extra Kohlstastic. Yeah, that’s a word. I added it to my spellchecker just now.

Babies are cuter in Carter’s

Oooooh, I miss the days of cute baby clothes. But I guess I don’t miss the days of children constantly urping on those cute clothes. (Their clothes may not be as cute as they used to be, but at least they don’t puke on themselves anymore. Tradeoffs! Love ’em!)

If you’re still outfitting babies and toddlers, you’re going to love the big sale going on at Carter’s right now—just about everything is 40% off. There’s also Clearance and Doorbusters, but if you stick to just the “sale” stuff, today only (July 31st, 2012) you can also stack those sale prices with coupon code MW445 for an additional 20% off your $40+ order (code won’t work on the Doorbusters or Clearance, though). [Edited again to add: The original coupon has been replaced with a working one Jen found for us. Thanks, Jen!]

Shipping is a flat $6 per order. Adorable babies in hoodies with tiny little fabric ears on the hoods are, of course, priceless.

The most wonderful time of Athleta

A couple of times a year, Athleta takes their usual, are-you-kidding-me prices and puts a bunch of stuff on sale. And then—if you wait long enough and offer up burnt sacrifices to the deities of your choosing—they come out with a coupon code that can be used on top of those sale prices.

Now is that time! Through Friday, shop the sale and you can use coupon code SUMMERFUN to take an additional 20% off the already marked down prices.

I own exactly two tops from Athleta, and I love them and hug them and call them George. They are my favorites. And one of these days I’ll hit the sale before they’re all sold out of my size and get myself one of their awesome swimsuits.

Sharpie spectacular

My name is Mir, and I… I… I have an addition to Sharpie Ultrafine markers. (“Hi, Mir!”) I love them more than is rational, and I’m working to address my problem in a healthy way.

That said, I don’t know what I’m supposed to do about this Limited Edition “80’s Glam” 24-pack of Sharpies currently just $10 at Amazon. I mean, that’s crazy. I can stop after I buy this pack, anyway. I mean, probably. I’m sure I can.

Stop looking at me like that.

Nerftastic

Generally as we get closer to Christmas I start getting emails begging for deals on the lastest/greatest Nerf blasters which various children have decided they simply must have in order to be happy and fulfilled. The good news is that there usually are some decent deals mid-December, but the better news is that if you plan ahead, there’s even better deals to be had, say, now.

Like this: Right now Amazon has the Nerf Dart Tag Swarmfire available for just $15.74, about half what it’ll cost you elsewhere. It’s not only a great price, I bet these are a lot more fun to play with in the summer than when you’re stuck in the house in the winter.

(Then again, I don’t let my kids play with stuff like this, so what do I know? I’m just the “you’ll shoot your eye out, kid” mom.)

And now, an actual deal (school uniforms)

To counteract that last post—I am still confused and a bit concerned—I feel the need for a palate cleanser, if you will. Say, a great and useful product covered by an unconditional guarantee? On sale? Shipped for free? (Hey, I’m a poet, too.)

Today and tomorrow at Lands’ End, all kids’ clothes, school uniforms, and backpacks/lunchpacks are eligible for an additional 20% off and free shipping on $50+ when you use coupon code FAMILY and PIN 2975.

I love Lands’ End’s no-hassle guarantee, and I’m seeing polos already marked down to just $5, too. If you need to suit your kids up with uniforms for the coming school year, this is the sale to shop. (And not just because it doesn’t involve putting perfume on babies.)

Noooooooooooo thank you

So I’m cruising Amazon for deals this morning—as I do—and I came across a product I’ve never seen before. Maybe I’m just late to the party, but have you see this? It’s Johnson’s Baby Cologne. This is a real product.

Now, I’m torn, because it’s on sale and there’s a $.75 coupon you can clip on the page, making it under a buck delivered if you buy via Subscribe & Save (meaning it will cost Amazon more to ship it to you than you pay for the product), but still. No. No. Let me count the ways of NO:

1) Babies do not need cologne.
2) First line under the Safety Information is: “Keep out of the reach of children.”
3) Third line under the Safety Information is: “Serious breathing problems could occur.” What??
4) Included in the Directions: “Use Johnson’s Baby Cologne anytime you want to give your baby a clean, fresh scent.” How about this for an idea—want your baby to have a clean, fresh scent? Give him a bath. Or just, you know, let him be a baby because babies already smell pretty good.

The world concerns me sometimes.
