I hate laundry. I do. (I mean, doesn’t everyone?) But it’s possible I get a little too excited when there’s a great deal on laundry products, because I have to buy them anyway.

One of my children (not naming any names…) took 42 pairs of socks to school this year. Why? Because laundry is for the weak, man. This child only does laundry when the dresser is empty and the hamper is overflowing. Which is fine, I suppose, especially because I always send the kids off with a variety of pre-treatment stain products so that items not washed right away aren’t ruined.

So was I excited to see that Amazon currently has this 2-pack of OxiClean Max Force Gel Sticks for just $3.44? Probably too excited, honestly. But better yet, this is one of those perfect items for getting to your 5+ Subscribe & Save items for the month without breaking the bank, and then you get your free shipping and an extra 15% off, too. (Pro tip: Want more than one pack? Don’t select 2 as the quantity, just order it twice—then it counts as 2 of your 5 items!) That’s just shy of $3 for 2 sticks delivered (about half the regular price), and this way you can buy them for the kids, for the laundry closet, for the bathrooms… anywhere someone is likely to be taking off dirty clothes.

It won’t get anyone to do their laundry, but it may rescue it, anyway.

If you love Vera Bradley, yourself, then you probably don’t need much of an excuse to shop a sale. But even if you don’t, let me tell you a little secret: Anything from Vera Bradley makes a great gift for most of the young women in your life, especially for holidays and graduations and such. Sure, that’s all pretty far off, so how smart are you to shop ahead? So smart.

Today (Wednesday, August 23rd) is the last day to save an additional 30% on clearance items, plus get free shipping on any order. So you can grab the bag you’ve been eying or just stock up on travel tumblers for the young ladies you know who will be graduating in the spring. Whatever you like. Just don’t wait, because tomorrow this deal is over.

If you know me, you know I’m not a big makeup person. I’m more of a lazy natural person (ahem). But I do wear makeup occasionally, and every now and then I realize that despite never really using anything up, certain products do get old and gross and need to be chucked and replaced.

Enter my attentive stalking of makeup deals at places like Macy’s—I wait until they run something on sale with a bonus and then I score big. Like today, they have this Lancome Auda[city] in Paris Eye Shadow Palette marked down to $29 (they claim it’s a $346 value but c’mon; the regular price, though, is $69) with free shipping. Better still, spend $35+ on any Lancome products and you can nab this 7-piece bonus set for free (up to a $124 value).

You have no idea how thrilled I am just to find an eye shadow palette in normal colors (hello, makeup manufacturers! some of us of a “certain age” do not want glitter or electric blue, please and thanks), and I just love these bonus deals, too. It makes throwing out my old makeup so much easier to bear.

So, uh, say you live under a rock. Like me. And you’ve never seen Game of Thrones, not even once, and you’re starting to think you might want to see it because it’s all anyone ever talks about, but now you’re so far behind, what’s the point?

Well, here’s a deal for you (me): There have been six (!!) complete seasons of Game of Thrones so far, and today you can snag either the DVD or Blu-ray set at Groupon at a deep discount, right now. They’ve got the DVDs for $80 and the Blu-rays for $115. (For comparison: Amazon’s lowest current prices are $122 and $159, respectively.)

Of course, I can’t tell you when you’ll have time to watch 65 hours of programming—I might be rethinking this purchase now—but that’s up to you. I just find the discounts.

I would very much like to know why the official spelling here is DeWALT rather than DeWalt. I feel like I’m shouting, every time I type it. Maybe that’s because it’s just so manly? I have no idea.

Regardless, through the end of the month, Amazon is offering a fantastic promotion on qualifying DeWALT tool parts and accessories: when you buy 2, you get 20% off, and when you buy 3, you get 30% off. This is a crazy good deal if you need, say, bits or spare drill batteries and such, because they rarely go on sale.

There’s a couple of caveats, however. First: not every item there qualifies, so shop carefully. (Amazon hasn’t provided a landing page/grouping for this promotion, for some reason.) You’re looking for items clearly marked with this promotion, like so:

And second, I did come across a couple of items which qualify for either the 20% or the 30% promo, but not both. (Go home, Amazon. You’re drunk.) So just be aware that that’s a possibility, as well.

In short, you’ll need to endure a bit of trial and error while you’re looking around, but the savings will likely be worth it. Happy hunting!

It’s a great time to stock up on household essentials at Amazon—they’re currently offering an additional 30% off qualifying items when you buy 3 or more, which means you can easily grab the stuff you’d be buying anyway, but for an additional third off.

Do note that while you may mix and match items and you’ll get 30% off the total regardless of how many you buy, this promotion is limited to just two each of any single item. So you couldn’t, for example, just buy 3 packs of toilet paper; you’ll need to buy at least two different things in order to qualify. Also, there may be other coupons available on individual items (I noticed this tube-free Scott Tissue toilet paper has an available $.75/off clippable coupon) which you may also apply, but you cannot combine this deal with Subscribe & Save, because you need to get those 3+ items all in your cart at once.

Savings show up at checkout. Not having to lug all those paper towels and toilet paper packs home from the grocery store? Priceless.
