Locked and loaded
Do I need to go over my deep love of Lock ‘N’ Lock containers again? Because I will. Because I have two children and a husband who take their lunch every single day and I know what happens when I try to cheap out and use different containers, ones that maybe don’t actually seal shut. Ahem.
Today at Lock ‘N’ Lock Place, everything is 50% off with coupon code PREBLK2011. It even works on items already on sale!
I loaded up during the last sale (and yes, I already packed lunches in ’em this morning), but if you haven’t yet had the pleasure, I encourage you to scope out the options. I will never go back to anything else in lunch boxes.
And every teen rejoiced
Did you hear that? It was the sound of Aeropostale launching their Friends & Family Sale, and every teenager in the vicinity cheering wildly.
Or maybe it’s just ’round here that Aero hoodies and jeans are considered some kind of uniform. Details.
Anyway, through November 20th, use coupon code AEROFRIENDS to take 40% off everything except fragrances. Shipping is free on your $100+ order, automatically. And yes, it works at PS Kids, too. Awesome.
Oh, right! Wednesday!
I’m starting to lose track of the days, and it’s not even Thanksgiving, yet. This is not a good sign.
But hey, Wednesday means Kohls, even if I spend half the day convinced that it’s Tuesday.
Today is the last day for Kohls charge card holders to use coupon code NOVSAVINGS for an additional 30% off every order. Everyone gets free shipping on $50+, and card holders can get free shipping on any order with code SHIPMVC.
No Kohls card? No problem—use code HOLIDAY15 for an extra 15% off.
I’m off to scout the clearance….
Get your toys on at the Cyber Sale
Right now Toys ‘R’ Us is having an 8-hour cyber sale, with special sales and deals until 7:00 p.m. Eastern only.
I’ve been having trouble getting into the site, which is why I didn’t post this right away… but… looks like some decent finds to be had, if you have the patience to wait a bit.
Shipping is currently free on everything, in addition to the special promotions. Happy shopping!
They pass the fried egg test
I’m trying very hard to get away from non-stick pans as a general rule; I worry about those coatings and whether or not they’re safe, and I know my kids either don’t remember or don’t care that they’re not supposed to use metal tools in those pans, too. But—I feel strongly about over-easy eggs. And the thing about a perfect over-easy (or otherwise fried) egg is that you have to have a non-stick pan.
A few years ago, my frying pans finally bit the dust, and I went ahead and replaced them with a 2-pack of Circulon pans (my preferred brand if I’m buying non-stick). I love them; my eggs come out great. But I’m only a little bitter that now Amazon is offering this Circulon Contempo 2-pan pack for just $19.48 shipped if you have Prime. That’s about half what I paid (and less than either pan on its own), and I remember thinking I was getting an amazing deal.
Hmph. You kids today have it too easy, with your cheap frying pans and everything. Get off my lawn!
If 3D is your thing…
… you’re likely looking for a great deal on a Nintendo 3DS for the holidays. (Just to be clear: I personally prefer my handheld gaming without 3D effects, as—thankfully—do my kids. But I know it’s a hot item for many.)
Today’s Deal of the Day at Cowboom is a refurbished 3DS for just $120 shipped. If you fall in the gotta have it camp, this is a great deal, especially because Cowboom offers replacement plans (for an extra fee) as well.
Broccoli… celery… gotta be…
… VeggieTales! (Can I just tell you how sad I am that my children have outgrown VeggieTales? LarryBoy is my kind of superhero, man!)
Anyway. Maybe you still have little ones who appreciate singing vegetables, in which case you should hop on over to the Official VeggieTales Store, where they’ve already marked everything down by 40%. Sweet, right? Make it even better: Create an account, and you can use coupon code veggiegram for an additional 25% off on top of that. (And yes, Virginia, they do have their nativity in stock.)
Shipping is free on your $30+ order, too, which is the icing on the, um, probably carrot cake, right? Right.
Holiday card deal? Check!
I just got an email about holiday card deals a few days ago, and I know it’s on a lot of folks’ minds right now. Groupon has you covered—today you can snag a Mixbook photo cards deal and get 40, 75, or 120 photo cards at a tremendous discount (and with free shipping, to boot).
If I didn’t already have a Mixbook Groupon for exactly this purpose, I’d buy this one. (Please note that I have the Groupon but haven’t yet, you know, ordered any cards. Apparently there is not a Groupon for getting organized, darnit.)
My 11:00 fix
There’s lots of yummy-looking edible giftables (that is so a word) over at Rue La La today. Nom nom.
And if you didn’t spend that extra $10 at Fab.com yet, today’s boutiques run the gamut from kids’ ride-ons to futuristic-looking hanging plants. I mean, I don’t know about you, but I never have any problem finding something to spend my money on, there….
2 days to save on almost everything
Check it out—looks like the Gap family of stores finally decided to do a sale on everything at once, instead of having a coupon that works at one store but not the others. This is especially notable because it includes an Athleta discount, and you know how they almost never have coupons there.
So here it is: Today and tomorrow, use coupon code TREAT to save 25% at Gap, Old Navy, Banana Republic, or Athleta, plus that coupon also saves you 20% on items at Piperlime.
Now, it’s not exactly a free-for-all—some restrictions do apple—but it’s the first time I can remember seeing a coupon that worked across all five sites, so that’s kind of cool.
