Another chance to pay less at Payless
I love Payless. There, I said it. I loved them even before they started carrying decent shoes and designer brands and stuff. It is my belief that people who pay big money for shoes for their kids—when said children generally wear dress shoes only a handful of times before they’re outgrown, and sneakers only a few months before they’re trashed—probably have brain damage. Kids go through shoes like crazy. So I love the place that keeps ’em in shoes during the crazy-growing years without bankrupting me.
Right now it’s BOGO time at Payless, which means that nearly everything is Buy One, Get the 2nd Half Price. On top of that, you can apply coupon code 65814 for an additional 25% off your order.
Shipping is a flat $5.95, or free if you’re willing to pick up at your local store. All the kids can get new shoes, with enough left over for a pair (or two) for you, too. Awesome.
There’s nothing quite like good chocolate
I pounce on this deal every time I spot it, and one look at my hips will confirm that. Ahem. Nevertheless, when it comes to excellent chocolate for baking or just outright indulging, I turn to Scharffen Berger every time. And right now, Amazon has the 6-pack of Semisweet Dark Chocolate (62% Cacao), 3-Ounce Packages of Scharffen Berger available for just $10.52 (shipped, if you have Prime, or it’s free Super Saver Shipping eligible on $25+).
This stuff is amazing. We’re coming into homemade ice cream season, and this is my favorite bar to obliterate with a rolling pin and add to ice cream. Nom nom.
Monster High mania
Look, I’ll be the first one to say that I really don’t get the Monster High dolls. They’re basically… undead Bratz? Is that right? I don’t know. Thankfully, my girlchild is past the age where this is A Thing, so I don’t have to think about it too hard.
But hey, apparently they’re kind of expensive and sometimes hard to find. Maybe that’s why Amazon suggested to me that I buy this Monster High Skull Shores Black and White Frankie Stein Doll, even though I’m pretty sure I don’t need a creepy Frankenstein fashion doll. She’s down to just $4.13 shipped if you have Prime, and eligible for free Super Saver Shipping on your $25+ order if you don’t.
I don’t know. They still kind of creep me out, but it’s certainly the right price if you have a kid who’s into ’em.
Tax Days savings on your favorites
In addition to their regular daily sales, today (and all weekend) 6pm.com is doing something different—they’re offering an array of products under $50 in celebration of your tax return. (Personally, my tax return wasn’t much to celebrate, but I appreciate their enthusiasm, regardless.)
The bad news is that the deals don’t go live until 9:00 Eastern (a little less than an hour from now); the good news is that you can click through to the eligible items already, their prices just aren’t correct. See something you think you’ll want? Toss it in your basket—the price should adjust when the sale goes live.
Not a bad way to kick off Friday the 13th, eh?
Oh, baby—big savings
Have your own little bundle of joy and soggy diapers at home? Preparing for a baby shower? Either way, you’re probably shopping for all sorts of baby things, and today’s the day to save at Amazon on all your purchases. Today (Thursday, April 12th, 2012) only, shop their qualifying assortment of baby items and you’ll save $10 on every $50 spent with coupon code BABY2012, up to a total savings of $100!
Most of the eligible items are already on sale, and the more you spend, the more you save. They’ve got everything from the big stuff (strollers, breast pumps, highchairs) right on down to swaddlers and feeding accessories. I love that you could pick up a $300 stroller and bam, you’ve saved $60 just like that.
Also, I’d just like to say that I’m a wee bit bitter that diaper bags are so cool looking, nowadays. Back in my day, we didn’t have these options that looked like couture purses, you know. I carried a plain nylon bag from Lands’ End and I liked it. Whippersnappers.
Your Wednesday dose of Kohls
I love how y’all remind me when I forget that it’s Wednesday and there needs to be a Kohls post. You are definitely my people.
So, what’s up over there today? Let’s see: It’s time to redeem your Kohls Cash from the last earning period, and everyone gets free shipping on their $75+ order, automatically. There’s all kinds of “Power Pricing” all over the site, too. Everyone can use coupon code SMS9873 for an additional 20% off any order, too.
Sadly, there doesn’t appear to be a valid free shipping code right now, but don’t forget that you can always return items for free at your local store. Have I ever thrown something extra into my order to get free shipping and then run it back to the store later? I plead the 5th. Just sayin’ that sometimes that’s easier than braving the store to shop, is all.
Treat yourself to something nice
Need a gift for a friend, or a little treat for yourself? Today (Wednesday, April 11th, 2012) only, The Body Shop is offering free shipping on any order.
They’ve got a ton of sales going on, including Buy 3 Get 2 and Buy 2 Get 1 bonus offers. Their lip butters are currently 2 for $10, which is more than, say, Chapstick, but they are divine and last forever.
And don’t even get me started on their body butters. I just used up my last one a few weeks ago and I’m still in mourning.
BOGO on the stuff you need
Need new socks, undies, bras, and such? Skip on over to One Hanes Place this week and enjoy Buy One, Get One 50% Off on everything except clearance. Mix and match items for the whole family, and the more you buy, the more you’ll save.
Spend $45+ and you can get free shipping on your entire order with coupon code 611730, too.
I think it’s all nicely timed, as we’ve just hit the season of Dear God Where Have These Socks Been Lately ’round these parts. Georgia clay + Springtime = orange socks. Lovely.
Home improvement?
We have officially reached the season of Oh Geez Do We Have To? ’round here. That’s pretty much my response to any of my husband’s attempts to landscape or otherwise make the house look nice, because it all seems to involve a lot of 1) getting dirty, and/or 2) spending money.
Thankfully, I can support his Home Depot habit this week with a bit less grumbling than usual—not only are they having a huge “Black Friday” sale right now (I don’t know; maybe they don’t know it’s not Friday?), you can use coupon code APRILHD to take $10 off your $100+ purchase.
Most orders of $45+ ship to your home for free, and if you’re in a hurry, you can always choose to pick up at your local store. I can’t help you with your husband’s sudden conviction that what the yard really needs is three tons of pea gravel, though. Still working on that one, myself.
Free shipping and extra savings
It’s a good day to shop at Children’s Place—today only (Monday, April 9th, 2012), get free shipping on every order, automatically.
Combine that with coupon code SAVINGS42 for an additional 15% off, and the fact that your rotten children sprouted several inches overnight is a little easier to bear.
Okay, it’s still hard to bear. But it’s easier to afford, at least.
