$20 off new shoes? Yes, please!
Today there’s an available Groupon to Shoebuy where $20 gets you $40 to spend any time over the next year. While Shoebuy often runs coupons, there are always brand exclusions, and I’m not seeing anything that suggests there are similar restrictions on this Groupon.
That means you could use it on Merrells or other brands which are usually discount-proof. And that’s great news, because my husband and children are all masters of picking out the only shoes I don’t have a coupon for. Not that I’m bitter. Much.
Wii wish you an Epic Mickey bonus
If you’ve been wanting Epic Mickey for your Wii but haven’t found just the right deal, yet, today may be your lucky day. Right now Amazon is offering Epic Mickey for $29.99 and a free game with purchase, and this is one of those “while supplies last” ones, which means it won’t be around for long.
Granted, some of the bonus games are already ridiculously cheap (Hannah Montana the Movie game? oy), but I’ve heard incredible things about Guilty Party, which is currently $25, and they’ve got the Toy Story 3 game and the TRON: Evolution game and c’mon, for $30 all told to get both Epic Mickey and one of those, that’s pretty sweet.
Heck, even if you already have Epic Mickey, some of those bonus games are the first markdowns I’ve seen and come to under $20.
$5 off, just because you’re pretty
Remember Deep Discount? They used to be Deep Discount DVD, then they expanded to carry games and books and other stuff and became plain ol’ Deep Discount. Their shipping is slow and you need to cross-reference their prices with Amazon’s to make sure it’s a deal, but a lot of their prices are insanely low.
And now you can save $5 through about noon today—just use coupon code WERHERE5 on any purchase. Shipping is a buck, so you’ll essentially be getting $4 off and free shipping. But hurry if you want it, because you’ve only got a few hours.
And speaking of babies…
… I’ve got your deal on wee, teeny-tiny newborn diapers right here.
Caveat, for the uninitiated: I do not recommend stocking up on newborn size diapers ahead of time. A lot of babies outgrow them fast, and some never really fit into them at all. What newborn diapers are great for is small/preemie babies who really get swallowed up in the bigger diapers. That said, if you need the little diapers:
Amazon currently has newborn size “Little Snugglers” Huggies for $19.48/case. That comes down to just $13.64/case when you buy via Subscribe & Save and if you’re a member of Amazon Mom, and also there’s a $2 coupon to clip if coupons are available to you. That’s 84 diapers for just $11.64 shipped! A great deal if you need ’em.
Er, if your baby needs them. I don’t think they’ll fit you. Or that you need diapers.
Shutting up, now.
Keeping baby from breaking the bank
The lovely and pretty Allison wrote to tell me that she and her husband are expecting their first baby. (Yayyyyy! I did a little dance of joy, because news of babies always makes me happy.) She says:
Since we are of the school of: I’d rather send you to college than break the bank on onesies and burp cloths – how do we go about outfitting baby/getting room together/getting all the “gear†that babies seem to require without hemorrhaging money? What is okay to buy used? What is most definitely not? Is there a list of must-haves that anyone can point me to? Are there common traps to avoid? Are there any reputable sites for product review/safety standards that I should familiarize myself with?
And finally, I am a lawyer. Where in the world do I find affordable office appropriate maternity wear?
The first thing I advised Allison to do was take a deep breath. Then I asked her if I could use her question here on the site. (Priorities: I have them.)
Let’s talk about this. read more…
It’s time to eat out on the cheap
You have through the end of July to scope out which restaurants at Restaurant.com you’d like to eat at, then buy your certificates for a cool 80% off when you use coupon code SAVE. Most $25 dining certificates are $10, so with the coupon you’ll pay just $2—that’s $23 dollars off your bill.
New restaurants are added all the time, so check again even if you didn’t see anything the last time you looked. And read the fine print, too. Some restaurants have day-of-the-week restrictions or specific minimums. Despite the various guidelines, we’ve found these super easy to use and a great way to keep eating out affordable.
It’s clearance time at Chadwicks
Right now the big clearance sale is on at Chadwicks, and that means slashed prices all over the place. Even better, you can also use coupon code CH40484 to take another 20% off your order.
I hadn’t been to Chadwicks in a while, and thankfully they seem to have some more current styles mixed in with the rather conservative options I remember from years ago. They even have some cute shoes—did you know they carry Skechers? I didn’t. There’s boots in the clearance, too, if you’re looking to get a jump on Fall.
Well hello, pretties
Guess what the featured deal at 6pm.com is, today. Danskos! I feel my resolve weakening. Because I wasn’t planning to buy any shoes today.
But Danskos up to 70% off? I’m only human, people.
(If Dansko doesn’t make your heart sing, there’s plenty of other deals, too, including a bunch of specials on luggage.) (But did you know Dansko makes sneakers? I can’t decide if they’re fabulous or horrifying.)
It’s not too late for school uniform deals
Still need school uniforms? It’s not too late to grab a deal. Right now everything in the Amazon School Uniform Shop is at least 25% off, with some items closer to 75% off.
Of course, you’re probably completely on top of things, already, just like me. Why, I bought new uniforms for the kids months ago! I have no idea why my daughter just this weekend informed me that I forgot to buy her any pants. That’s just silly.
Ahem.
Creepy crawlies in the name of education
I’m loving this Groupon deal for Insect Lore today—$10 will get you a complete butterfly habitat and caterpillars (a 50% savings). Or just turn your $10 into $20 to be spent however you like on the Insect Lore site; they’ve got plenty of bug-themed items that aren’t actually, you know, bugs… just in case you’re squeamish.
It’s educational, so it’s not gross. At least, that’s what I’m telling myself.
