Shop the Bay, bargain-basement style
It’s been a long time since I spotted a great sale at Monterey Bay, but today’s certainly the day to hit their clearance section. Items are already marked down—some are up to 70% off, already—and then you can apply coupon code MFS60 for an additional 75% off of that, plus free shipping.
I’d say more, but, um, I have to go shop….
Welcome to cult Lock & Lock
The thing about Lock & Locks is that it starts out casually. You just need a few containers that absolutely, positively won’t leak in your kids’ lunchboxes, that’s all. But then you try them and it’s like, well, your eyes open to this whole new world. Suddenly the rest of your plastic food storage seems inferior. So you buy a few more pieces. Maybe throw out some of your old warped stuff. But somewhere along the way, you realize it’s become a habit you just can’t kick. Because you don’t have one in that shape, yet! And look, purple lids!
You should probably get some help with that. Right after you scoop up today’s Home.Woot deal of a nestable (hey! mine don’t nest!) 18-piece set for just $13 plus $5 shipping.
(What? I never said I was going to help you overcome your addiction.)
Tunes for Mom (actually, everyone)
Good news! Amazon is offering another $2 MP3 credit—just go to the redemption page and enter code MOMROCKS to get yours.
The bad news is that it expires Sunday night (April 22nd), so you can’t just put it in there and forget about it. I mean, you can, but then you don’t get the credit and you feel sad. Go ahead and grab it, and make your selection(s) before you forget. Free tunes are the best kind!
Up to 90% off at Talbots
I wander into my local Talbots store every now and then, and usually end up giggling hysterically and running out of there like a kid who’s trying not to get caught shoplifting. What can I say? T-shirts for $75 tend to make me laugh.
But right now their online clearance is marked down as much as 90%, and suddenly Talbots clothes are at Target prices, which means I can not only afford to shop there, I don’t even get the giggles.
Items are going fast, so check it out if you’re so inclined. Shipping starts at $8.
Last Call + Wow = Savings
If you have Neiman Marcus taste but Want Not sensibilities (and of course you do, because you’re just that pretty), today’s the day to satisfy your designer cravings. Over at Last Call everything is an additional 30-40% off when you put it in your bag, plus coupon code LC75APR will give you free shipping on your $75+ order.
Happy shopping!
Fashion dolls that won’t give you hives
Maybe it’s just me that has that reaction to Barbies (boobs! hooker shoes!) or American Girl dolls (so expensive!) or Bratz (this one needs no explanation, I assume). Dolls were always a bone of contention ’round here when my daughter was younger, because I refused to buy ones that looked like street walkers and I also refused to take out a second mortgage to afford ones that didn’t.
It’s too late for my girl, but maybe not for yours—today’s Kids.Woot is your choice of either the Yuko or Gianna Best Friends Doll for just $15 + $5 shipping. These dolls not only have beautiful faces, they’re fully articulated and can be posed in over a hundred ways. They’re 18″ tall, so the same height as American Girl, but slimmer. I think they’re just darling (particularly Yuko—Asian dolls can be hard to find—and she’s currently $33 shipped from Amazon).
The price is certainly right, though I’d argue that circumventing the scary other options out there is truly priceless.
Summer clothes for the kids? Check!
Haven’t you ordered what you need for the summer from Children’s Place, yet? No worries if you haven’t—they’re offering free shipping on every order, today. So whether you procrastinated or your rotten children had the audacity to grow another couple of inches overnight, you’re covered.
Make it even better—use coupon code W2H2012 for an additional 15% off your order, too.
Summer basics start at just $6 each, and I am not even joking when I tell you that when mah baybee outgrows their stuff I am going to cry. He is currently living in their “matchables” shorts ($7 each before coupon!), and is just one growth spurt away from no longer wearing kids’ sizes. Sniffle.
So cheap, so clean
It’s hard to get too excited about cleaning (well, for me, anyway… what you do in the privacy of your own house, well, I don’t judge), but I still love a good deal on cleaning products. Right now Amazon is offering an extra 20% off select cleaning products when you apply coupon code RBSCLEAN.
The discount doesn’t appear to work with Subscribe & Save, but it saves you more than that would, anyway.
Code may be used once per account, so make your selections wisely. (You can order multiple products, just can’t place multiple orders.) Personally, I’ve gone all eco-friendly with my laundry products, but I still really love Resolve… so I grabbed this Resolve 3-pack while the getting was good.
It’s a Kohls bonus
No need to wait until Wednesday to get your Kohls on this week; they’re offering free shipping on every order, to everyone, right now! Just use coupon code SHIPFREE.
Even better, everyone can use coupon code GIFT4U20 for an additional 20% off your order, too, today and tomorrow.
My tip of the day with Kohls—always check the Seasonal clearance! While they’re currently chock-full of Easter stuff that’s covered in bunnies, some items—like kitchen towels, for example—are in the clearance just because they have flowers on ’em. (Oh no, not flowers!) It can be a good way to pick up items that aren’t truly “one holiday” limited.
Get Fun again
Has your subscription to Family Fun run out? Don’t worry, it’s available at Tanga today, which means you don’t have to lose all of those fun activity directions and recipes and ideas for how to chase away the “Mom, I’m booooored!” blues.
For me, when I put the $9.99 subscription into my cart, it immediately dropped to just $3.49, but if that doesn’t happen for you, just apply coupon code MSMOM to drop the price. You can order up to 3 years’ worth that way—and that’s a lot of goodness for very little money.
