Hey, Mac-heads
We run an all-Mac household, here, and so when you ask me questions about Windows computers I’m always able to respond with an erudite, “Buh?” When it comes to Macs, I am slightly more eloquent. (Only slightly, but still.)
So I can’t tell you much about the AirPort Extreme Base Station—other than, “We set it up and all the computers work great over the network”—but I can tell you that Amazon carries it for $178, and it’s really worth every penny. But the thing is, today at Cowboom you can grab a refurbished one for just $85 shipped.
If we didn’t already have one, I’d buy it. But at least I’m bringing you this post over the network on the one we already have.
I’m swooning
Okay, I’ll admit it… for a while there, I resisted Fab.com because I assumed everything there was really expensive. But today they’re featuring a Holiday Shop with 100 Best Design Gifts Under $100 and, dude, there’s a lot of stuff even under just $10. And I would like one of everything, please.
Definitely worth checking out. I just knocked out a couple of gifts.
Look Ma, no cavities
Everyone is as obsessive about dental health as I am, right? A healthy smile is a happy smile? Two flossings a day keeps the dentist away…?
Okay, maybe it’s just me. Me and my giant teeth.
Anyhoo, I’m all about the sonic toothbrush, because I figure a toothbrush that vibrates is even better than me having three cups of coffee and allowing the resultant caffeine-jitters to guide my oral care routine. Of course I’m not going to spend a fortune on my toothbrush, though.
Here’s a deal I’d jump on, though, if I didn’t already have my toothbrush: Right now Amazon has the Philips HX5351 Sonicare Toothbrush available for just $40, which is a pretty good price, anyway. But if you go to the Sonicare Website you can enter your information for a $10 rebate, making this baby just $30.
$30 for a brighter smile and better overall health? Seems like a bargain to me.
Halloween’s not over yet!
I know, you thought it was, but no! I missed it last night (and I can neither confirm nor deny the rumor that it was because I was eating Sour Patch Kids…), but for about another hour (through 9:00 a.m. Eastern this morning) there’s a Graveyard Shift Sale going on over at Mattel Shop. Free shipping on all sale items, plus they’re up to 60% off, plus another 20% comes off at checkout!
There’s not a huge assortment of items in there (maybe stuff sold out last night?), but if you see something you want, it’s hard to beat that final sale price and free shipping.
Related: I have never seen a Polly Pocket Cutant before, and now I’m… simultaneously frightened and intrigued.
6pm, you crazy
Okay, we all know my (well-documented) addiction to 6pm.com is longstanding, but then they started doing free shipping on every order and things became… somewhat more serious. Ahem. And today I checked in to see what was up—80% off boots and 70% off Adidas, woo!—and I see that they’re starting their Holiday Blitz today.
It’s November 1st, y’all. Are they going to do this for two months??
The Holiday Blitz—for the uninitiated—is one deeply discounted item every day (the reveal is 6:00 a.m. Pacific, or 9:00 a.m. for those of us on the other coast) as part of a countdown to the holidays. Don’t get me wrong, I love the Holiday Blitz, but still. Whoa. November 1st.
Let the savings begin, I guess.
Pick your pretty!
Seriously, that’s the name of the promotion going on at Clinique, today, and how can I resist something telling me to pick my pretty? I can’t. Probably you can’t, either.
Today only, spend $21.50 on anything and you can pick six minis—one for every “area”—to go into a pretty silver pouch that’s your free bonus. You’ll get free shipping on your entire order, too. That’s extremely pretty!
Buy 2, get 1, be a hero 3 times
If you’re starting to think about new video games for the holidays, check out the Buy 2, Get 1 Free deals going on right now at Amazon. This is a great way to score a deal if you’re in stock-up mode, particularly if you pick three games at the same (or close to the same) price.
If your family will be getting a new console in a couple of months, or if your kids (like mine) believe the sun rotates around a large Nintendo DS, don’t miss this one.
The $5 sale is back!
It’s the mooooost wonderfuuuuuul tiiiiiime of the yeeeear! (Yeah, I know. I’m stepping slowly away from the coffee, now.)
The $5 Sale is back at Taste of Home!
I regularly stock my gift closet during this sale. Sure, most of the items are cookbooks—great cookbooks, actually (wonderful teacher/hostess gifts!)—but there’s also children’s items, a $35 Do-It-Yourself manual that would be a great housewarming gift, and more. At just $5/pop and over 100 options, I bet you’ll see something you can use.
Spend $20+ (that’s just 4 items) and you can use coupon code 401 for free shipping on your entire order. $20 delivered for 4 gifts? Don’t you look pretty today!
Because the dog always needs food
It’s true, I talk here quite a bit about buying more expensive food for your beloved pets (my own spoiled pooch gets premium stuff that seems impossibly expensive, but she’s both a delicate flower with allergies and my favorite child, so there it is), but I know that some people are perfectly happy with “regular” dog food. I also know that our local rescue groups can always use food donations.
So—if you’re able to see/use Amazon coupons—you should be able to see this $1 off Iams coupon which will then show you which foods it’s eligible to be used on. While many of the eligible foods are are pretty standard prices, there’s also a handful of foods which are currently on clearance. For example, 5.5 pounds of Premium Protection Puppy (that sounds like the dog’s secret agent name rather than her food…) is down to just $5.36, or just $4.36 after coupon (ships free with Prime). Even if you don’t need it for your dog, I bet there’s an animal agency near you that would love the donation.
(This post brought to you as penance for the fact that we will be dressing Licorice up as a squirrel tonight.)
Outerwear savings (and more)
I swear, every single time I go shop over at Sierra Trading Post I go, “Wow, I love this place! Why don’t I shop here more often?” And no, I don’t have an answer. I just seem to forget they’re there, sometimes.
So! Today they have several great offers you can combine to save big. First: Until 2:00 this afternoon, you can use coupon code SITETOBER1011 to save an additional 25% on your $100+ order. Second: Look for the “Steal a Deal” graphic to find items marked down an additional 30%—there’s a ton of outerwear in there, all brand names and awesome prices. Third: They’re now doing a referral program, and if you refer a new shopper, they get a $10 discount, and if they buy something, you get $10, too. Might be worth considering.
And then don’t forget to think, “Wow, I love this place! Why don’t I shop here more often?” when you’re all done.
