Winter will return eventually
If you’re dreaming of cooler days and cushy fleece, scoot on over to Patagonia today—they’re having a 50% off sale, clearing out some of last year’s styles at fantastic prices. And it’s not all cold-weather gear, though of course that’s what caught my eye as it’s 95 degrees and five billion percent humidity here. (Note: I am maybe exaggerating just a little about the humidity.)
There’s outerwear, exercise gear, luggage… items for the whole family, really, and all of it half-price.
Spend $75+ and your shipping is free, automatically. You could take care of next winter’s jacket while snagging a cute swimsuit for now, even. Awesome.
The deal’s back, and Mikey still likes it
I’m not proud; every single time Amazon offers this 4-box pack of Cinnamon Life cereal for around $8, I order it. It’s an easy way to be a hero to my kid, and cheap, too.
Right now snag it for $8.24 shipped when you buy via Subscribe & Save. That’s four boxes of “Mom, you’re the greatest” for just a couple of bucks apiece.
I’m not looking
I’m not shopping, which means I am definitely not browsing the up-to-70%-off sale happening right now at Boden. Ahem.
But that shouldn’t stop you. Because the prices are crazy good and I, er, I mean, you, probably want one of everything. Everything at Boden is just so darn pretty.
I need some funky new sneakers
One of the featured sales today over at 6pm.com is up to 75% off on Nine West shoes, and I am completely smitten with their fun little slip-on Sophie sneakers.
The last thing I should be doing right now is buying new shoes, but… so cute! So cheap! And… the color I want is sold out in my size. Fate has intervened. This time.
Get comfy outdoors
Today’s Target Daily Deals include a nice patio conversation set for 43% off… perfect if you need a little extra outdoor seating. The free shipping is just bonus savings.
On the other hand, if you prefer your outdoors with a bit of whimsy and maybe even dreams about scary clowns, they also have a chihuahua planter that’s creeping me out, so there’s that. You’re welcome.
Cheap Entertainment!
Did you get an Entertainment Coupon Book this year? There’s nearly half a year left to enjoy the savings, and right now they’re liquidating—grab any two 2012 books for just $10, plus $2 to ship ’em. Heck, use just one coupon in there and you’ve broken even, at that price.
If you can use any of the higher-value coupons—say, for a hotel stay or a rental car—you’ll come out way ahead. And then all of the local coupons for eating and movies and dry cleaning and such are just gravy. (Er, don’t get gravy on your dry cleaning, though. Messy.)
Back-to-school at Lands’ End
Of course my favorite Lands’ End coupons are those with no minimums and free shipping on anything, but as school nears I get a little less picky. I know I’m not getting out of there for under a hundred bucks, anyway, so why split hairs?
Today (Monday, July 16th, 2012) only, you can use coupon code JULY with PIN 5230 to take $20 off your $75+ order, plus orders of $50+ ship for free.
Combine this with all the specials they’re running right now—one penny school logos, 40% off swim, 60% off summer—and you could clean up, easily. And that leaves your kids plenty of time to outgrow the stuff before school starts, too. Heh.
Will you still respect me…
… if I tell you that I just downloaded Bruno Mars’ Doo-Wops and Hooligans album at Amazon for just $.99? It was such a deal. And… okay, fine. Fine. I like Bruno Mars. I said it. Are you happy now?
I feel like I need to go buy some skinny jeans, now. And possibly some ironic glasses.
So yeah, I feel a little dirty. But also thrifty. Don’t judge.
Weekend shoe therapy
I don’t know about you, but I’m needing a little shoe therapy this weekend. Don’t ask.
Place an order at Payless Shoes and you can use coupon code 73809 for $10 off your $25+ order, plus if you’re willing to pick up at your local store, you won’t have to pay shipping.
The end of season clearance is going on, so this is a great excuse to stock up for the kids and get a little something for yourself, too.
The perfect (and free) beach read!
Loading up your Kindle for some light vacation reading? Today Lani Diane Rich’s Ex and the Single Girl is a free Kindle download! I haven’t read this one yet (just grabbed it), but Rich is one of my favorite just-plain-fun vacation authors.
Now all I need is a vacation. Heh.
