If you prefer Picard to Kirk
I know it’s heresy in some circles, but I always preferred Star Trek: The Next Generation to the original. I know. I know! But there it is; I’ve come clean at last.
So while purists may not understand my glee, I’m pretty stoked to see that Amazon is offering the Star Trek: The Next Generation Motion Picture Collection on Blu-ray for just $24.96, right now. That’s all four movies, five discs, for just a few bucks more than the DVD version. That’s an excellent value on Patrick Stewart yumminess geeky entertainment. Ahem.
Get a jump on school supplies
Here, let me help you get the ball rolling: Hop on over to Amazon and get yourself 18 disappearing-purple Avery glue sticks for just under $8. Free shipping with Prime, or Super Saver Shipping eligible with $25+ purchase.
We’re a little bit past the glue stick stage, but I used to buy these by the dozens back in the days of “I doing an art project, Mama!” Good for school, good for home, good for “Oh, honey, that’s a beautiful… thing… you made me!”
Hey, Beautiful
If you’ve been thinking about stocking up on some make-you-even-prettier tools at Ulta, today and tomorrow would be excellent days to shop—you can take 20% off your entire purchase with coupon code 70186.
You can use the coupon on just about everything (even clearance), but it does exclude some of the hoity-toity brands like Lancome, which is so fancy it’s supposed to have a squiggle over the o. Heh.
There’s tons of sales going on already (lots of buy 1, get 1 half off deals), so combine those with the coupon for big savings. Free samples with every order, and every order of $50+ ships for free.
Perfect for smaller patios
Been waiting for the end-of-season clearance to finally snag a dining set for your patio? We have nowhere to put this (thanks to the Great Craigslist Stalking of the last several months, we don’t need any more outdoor furniture!) awesome hexagon-shaped Martha Stewart patio set currently over half off at Home Depot, but I kind of want it, anyway. I love the table, and love that you get a fairly compact set that comfortably seats six.
And the fact that the table is angled rather than round means you don’t get any “he’s in my space” shenanigans going on, either. “Everyone stay on their edge!”
Anyway, a table and seating for six for just $229 with free shipping seems like a pretty sweet deal to me, and because every buck counts, don’t forget you can use coupon code JULY5 for the next few days to take another $5 off.
Or if you’d rather, hit New York
Maybe the Target Miami deal isn’t your style. Maybe you’re more of a New York kind of gal. That’s okay! Right now at New York & Company you can take 40% off your entire order with coupon code 2840, plus shipping is free if you spend $100+.
There are some exclusions, like it doesn’t work on clearance items or new arrivals, but it does work on already-discounted sale items which aren’t considered clearance, so there’s still the possibility of really cleaning up with this one.
(I feel like it’s shaping up to be a very geographical kind of sale day. It’s going to be disappointing if I can’t find more sales to link to various states. Heh.)
Go to Miami, at Target
I love it when the Target Daily Deals include an entire array of items—it feels like we’re getting an extra bonus. And today’s featured deal is the entire Webster collection from Miami. Super cute clothing, and 40% off with free shipping.
Of course, the name makes me think of that horrible Miami Vice movie my husband made me watch, but trust me, these deals are much better than the movie.
Hooray, it’s Children’s Place day!
Continuing in their fine trend of sales, sales, and more sales, today (Wednesday, July 25th) is the perfect day to get everything you need for back-to-school at Children’s Place. First of all, just about everything is on sale, already, including 25% off school uniform stuff, which generally doesn’t happen until closer to (or after) the start of school.
Second, the more you spend, the more you save. Use coupon code R7H2012 for 15% off any order, Q7H2012 for 20% off $50+, or P7H2012 for 30% off $60+. Shipping is a flat $5 on every order, or free when you spend $75+.
I no longer have a kid in uniform (that sounds like they retired from the army, or something), but if I did I’d be all over this one.
I don’t know what a Zooble is, but here’s a deal
How’s your gift closet stash looking these days? Right now Amazon has a great deal on this Zoobles Mama and Babies Playset—it’s down to just $8.73 (free Prime shipping or free Super Saver Shipping eligible on $25+).
At first I thought it was some sort of Polly Pocket/Littlest Pet Shop hybrid, but upon further inspection, I think I’ve figured out what Zoobles are, really: They’re Bakugan for girls. They’re round balls that flip out to form creatures, just like Bakugan. But instead of fighting each other, a mama takes care of her babies. How very… gender stereotyped. Which naturally means that girls probably love this nonsense.
Okay, that wasn’t the most ringing of endorsements, I know, but the set is cute and the price is excellent. Do with that what you like.
Get your new Allure Box!
A couple of you emailed to remind me that the new Allure Beauty Box is available today—get $300 worth of products for $40, plus shipping.
I used to really love these, but haven’t bought the last few because they always seem to have some products I don’t want, and then they don’t seem like such a great deal anymore. But if you like what you see, or love trying new stuff, this is a fairly economical way to get your hands on a lot of different beauty products.
GNC yeah you know me
You know, I was all set just to come on over here and say, “Hey, today GNC is doing a 3 for $25 sale plus free shipping!” I was stoked about those deals, because they have nearly 90 of their favorite supplements available at this awesome price.
But then my eyes went a little lower on the GNC page and I saw that they also have a Daily Deal today of 2 bottles of their brand of melatonin for just $10. I love melatonin. I’m pretty sure melatonin is the only reason this stressed-out mom of two special-needs kids sleeps, ever. (Although why it made me refer to myself in the third person, I’m not sure.) And unlike prescription sleep aids, it’s non-addictive and safe enough to give to your insomniac children, as well. Anyway! Vitamins and melatonin on the cheap, with free shipping. I’m digging it.
