Nom nom Easter nom nom
There’s still time to get some Easter candy from Amazon, especially if you have Prime… and right now there’s over 100 deeply-discounted candy options just waiting for you.
Sometimes procrastination pays off. Just sayin’.
My boyfriend is clearancing the clearance
You know my boyfriend, right? My husband doesn’t even mind about him, because Eddie Bauer is just that slick.
Right now the already-reduced clearance is being reduced by an additional 30% when you place items in your cart. Clearanced clearance! My favorite! To top it off, bring your order up to $99+ and it all ships for free with coupon code FREE99. That’s handy, because after I pick out some shirts for the husband, I’ll have a perfect excuse to buy a few things for myself. Heh.
Stock up on wipes, baby
Whether you have a baby/toddler in the house or have just discovered that baby wipes are handy for everything from quick clean-ups in the car to getting food out of the carpet (really!), you’ll want to check out this deal at Amazon: Right now the 400-count Huggies Simply Clean Fragrance Free Baby Wipes are in stock and down to $9.94, already a decent price. But if you’re part of Amazon Mom, you’ll get a 20% Subscribe & Save discount (plus free shipping), bringing it down to $7.95 shipped. And if you’re eligible for coupons on Amazon, you can clip the $1 coupon to bring it down to just under $7. That’s under 2 cents per wipe!
I actually use these for make-up removal (among other things). Please don’t tell my (oh-so-grown-up) children that I’m still buying baby wipes.
Freezer storage?
Frank writes:
I know you like the Lock and Lock stuff.
What I need is some sort of container that I can store food in the freezer for longer than, say, 3 weeks without them getting burned, longer the better. I am pretty sure you use them… do you use them for this purpose, and if so, do you find them acceptable for use this way? Trying for convenience here.. i have a vacuum sealer but its expensive and not so convenient to use often (unpack and repack), and Freezer bags dont work well for things that are not 100% solid, or a well defined shape.
Thoughts? I know you are busy and stuff… A word or 2 at your convenience would be much appreciated, as I find myself trusting your judgment on such things.
PS.. this question brought to you by Home.Woot, where these popped up today.
Frank is right, I do love the Lock & Lock stuff. And that Home.Woot set is a great one I’d definitely recommend. But you know I can’t resist a few words about food storage, because I’m a geek like that. Come with me…. read more…
It’s the Spring Sale at Lands’ End
Lands’ End freaked me out a little bit when I clicked over there this morning—I couldn’t find the Overstocks! Turns out they’re just… not calling them that, anymore. Clicking on the “Sale” link takes you to the Overstocks. Except now they’re the Sale Items Which Shall Not Be Named, or something. Anyway, they’re still there.
Right now their Spring Sale means many of their current-season offerings are up to 30% off, plus there’s all your regular favorite sale haunts (On The Counter, Clearance, and Not Quite Perfect), too. Use coupon code SWIMHQ1 with PIN 2512 for free shipping on your entire order, big or small, on sale or not.
I went over there determined to buy something for myself and ended up buying for one of my kids. The saddest part is that I’m not even surprised.
Start the week with shoe deals
If you have a hankering to do a little shoe shopping to ease your way into April (and really, April? How did that happen??), look no further than today’s deals at 6pm.com. Take up to 70% off Crocs and Keens today as you prepare for the summer, or shop the rest of their spotlight deals.
I am discovering that my poor youngest kiddo has landed in an awkward place for Crocs sizing; most of the Youth styles only go up to size 3, but then the Adult ones that go down to M4/W6 tend to be… pink. Hmph. I’ll keep looking….
Smell yummy, pay less
Today and tomorrow you can stock up on all of your favorites at Bath & Body Works and save huge—they’re having a buy 3, get 3 free sale!
Mix and match among their Signature collection to compose your perfect six (or twelve, or whatever—I don’t judge). Then apply coupon code ENJOY2025 for an additional 20% off and free shipping on your $25+ order.
All that, and you never have to step foot in the store. (I appreciate that, because Bath & Body Works is second only to Yankee Candle on my list of Stores I Should Enjoy But Which Totally Smell So Strongly I Can Barely Stand To Go In Them.)
Stock up at Walgreens
TGIF! Today’s a good day to run errands, or to take a nap and order the stuff you need online. Three guesses—and the first two don’t count—which one I’ll be doing. Heh.
If you shop at Walgreens online today or tomorrow, use coupon code EASTER20 and you’ll save an additional 20% on your $50+ order. Plus most items ship for free whenever your order is $25+, so combine those two perks with some items already on sale, and you’re rocking and rolling.
(I generally use these sales to stock up on almonds, of all things. They’re currently on sale, so a real steal with the extra savings.)
Customized dresses, fabulous prices
As the weather warms up, I shed my customary winter jeans and start living in cotton dresses. It’s basically a socially acceptable way to walk around in a nightgown, and I’m okay with that.
Thanks to Susan over at The Working Closet, I’ve just discovered my newest Internet love—eShakti. They have tons of dresses (and blouses and skirts and jewelry, too), the prices are reasonable, and through the end of the month they’re offering free customization. That means you pick your dress, then for free you can adjust the hem length, change the neckline, even tinker with the sleeves on some of them. How cool is that??
And right now, if you register, they’ll send you a certificate for $20 off your first $30+ purchase.
The only problem I’m having is deciding which one to get.
Frofrororos
My children are addicted to Ferrero Rocher. I don’t remember how it happened—it’s not as though I typically buy them nice chocolate—but ever since the first once, they’ve adored them. They also call them “frofrororos,” which I find hilarious.
Naturally, the Easter Bunny is expected to come through with some frofrororos. And it turns out that this 48-piece Ferrero Rocher box is winter holiday branded and therefore marked down to $15.95 shipped (with Prime), as compared to the 13-piece Ferrero Rocher in a bunny box which is $3 more. Hmmm… $16 for 48 pieces or $19 for 13 pieces? Decisions, decisions!
The Easter Bunny is good at math, and doesn’t mind putting the individual frofrororos into plastic eggs, making the Christmas packaging a moot point. That Easter Bunny is smart.
