Color with rainbows
A shameful confession: I am sort of a sucker for As Seen on TV products. Not that I buy them, but I often see them and find myself intrigued. (Except for the fake-grass-on-a-tray potty station for dogs. That’s just nasty.)
But I kind of love today’s Kids.Woot—it’s a 3-pack of RainbowBrush kits, and this is the sort of things my kids went absolutely bonkers for when they were smaller. (Remember Blendy Pens? I thought they were going to stroke out when Grandma sent them some of those.) Anyway, grab three complete sets today for just $8 shipped. For comparison: Amazon has just one set for $11. I’d say this is the better deal.
Remember that shipping doesn’t change if you buy multiples, too. These would be awesome birthday party favors instead of bags of random plastic junk. Just sayin’.
Friends and Family time at Avon!
Been eyeing something at Avon? Today and tomorrow (through July 26th) you can ship absolutely any order for free with coupon code FRIENDS2011. That means that even if you want a single on-sale lip balm, you won’t pay shipping.
Of course, they have tons more than just lip balms. Whether you dig their ANEW line or want to buy a Zeno zit-zapper (there’s one marked down in the Outlet), they’ve got it all. And yes—they’ve even got the holiday bath-time body paints for stocking stuffers for the little ones.

Today’s Target Daily Deals are all about the toys, but my personal favorite is the deal on the PlasmaCar (37% off, so now just $38 shipped).
If you’ve never played on a PlasmaCar, they’re magic. Well, okay, probably there’s a perfectly logical scientific explanation for why turning the steering wheel back and forth makes it go, but I prefer to believe it runs on fairy power. Also? Although they’re for ages 3+, they hold up to 220 pounds apiece, and if you think the adults don’t steal them from the kids and have races down the driveway now and then, well, um, I can neither confirm nor deny that that’s happened at my house. Recently. (Yes, my 11 and 13-year-olds still play with ours.)
If that doesn’t float your boat, there’s other cool toys, too. But trust me: Go for the PlasmaCars.
I’ve tried, but I can’t quit Cascade
Over the last few years I’ve switched over many of our household products to greener options, and I now swear by vinegar for nearly everything (inbetween my busy schedule of hugging trees, of course), but I have yet to find a dishwashing detergent that works better than Cascade.
I’m sorry, environment. I just… don’t like bits of food on my plates.
Right now Amazon has a 60-pack of Fresh Scent Cascade Action Packs for just $11.02 when you purchase it via Subscribe & Save. But if you live in a state where they allow you to have Amazon coupons, there’s also a $1 off coupon (scroll down the page to see it and then click the “Clip this coupon” button to apply it). That’s just $10 for 60 dishwasher cycles, or about $.17/pouch. I’m in.
I’ll hug some extra trees to make up for it.
Saturday deals
Happy weekend! Here’s a few deals to make your day even better.
Right now the back-to-school sale is on at eBags, and that means an automatic 20% off and free shipping on your $50+ order (some brand exclusions apply) when you use my link to shop them. They have plenty of backpacks and luggage and such, but I think this is the perfect excuse to buy a new purse. Ahem.
If you missed shopping Children’s Place yesterday, you can still save 20% on your order today with coupon code Z3E2011.
Tanga‘s got ESPN magazine today for just $4.99/year after coupon code ESPN. (Yesterday a few of you noted that you weren’t getting as large of a discount as I listed on your magazine subscriptions, and I’m not sure, but I think the discount may change over time or after a certain number of redemptions. So today I give you this disclaimer: right now that code is taking $21 off their listed price.)
This weekend The Limited is having their “last sale of the season”—use coupon code SAVE40 for an additional 40% off of absolutely everything. Shipping is free on your $100+ order, too.
Take 40% off of everything at The Body Shop this weekend; discount shows up automatically in your cart. Free shipping on $50+, too.
Have a great day and stay cool in this heat, folks.
Save 40%, but only for a few hours
Pssssst! Through 3:00 p.m. Eastern today, you can save 40% on regular-price items at Gap with coupon code GAPTREAT.
It cannot be used on adult jeans, uniforms, or backpacks. But everything else is fair game.
You’ve got about two and a half hours to shop, so get moving!
Better late than never, Friday
Woooooooooooo, this week is trying to kill me. Sorry to get here late, today. Let’s find some awesome deals so we can all forget how far behind schedule I am, shall we? Yes.
Buy 1, Get 1 or Buy 2, Get 3 is back at Puritan’s Pride! This is my favorite place to stock up on vitamins and supplements, and now they carry snacks and coffee/tea as well. It appears that things like bulk nuts and fruits fall under the bonus offer, so I may try them for things like almonds and figs, too. Yum.
I can’t seem to quit the Amazon Friday Sale no matter how lame it gets. But I guess if you needed any Earth’s Best Banana Apricot Stage 2 for your baby, around $.50/jar is pretty good.
Tanga has those as-seen-on-TV Wandarama things, today, for $8 shipped. I know it’s a piece of junk that works on static electricity, but for $8 I would probably still bite, because my kids are fascinated by them. They also have a subscription to Family Fun magazine (my favorite!) for just $10, but apply coupon code DISNEY and it drops to just $2.99. Sweet.
It’s buy early, save more time at Children’s Place—shop today for 25% off everything with coupon code Y3E2011. Right now all denim is shipping for free, and orders of $75+ ship for free, as well.
You’ve got your choice of discounts at Lane Bryant this weekend: Use code GIFTCKLB for $25 off $75+, or code SUMMERSALELB will take 40% off $100+ or 50% off $200+! Just keep in mind that some exclusions apply.
6pm.com has 70% off both Clarks and Crocs right now (something for me, something for them), which means I can shop for the kids and something wonderful may just fall into my cart for me. Ahem.
Enjoy your Friday, folks!
Buy a Kindle… for your textbooks?
I love this. No, I pink puffy heart this—now you can rent textbooks on your Kindle, which means the perfect indulgence gift for your college kid is now also the key to saving you up to 80% on textbooks!
Why, back in my day, we had to buy the books at the college bookstore. There was no Amazon! There was no choice! And my dinosaur complained when I loaded him up with all of those heavy tomes! Well, most of that is totally true.
This is almost enough to make me want to go back to college. Almost.
Stock your gift closet with learning
Oooooh, one of my favorite Kids.Woot deals is back—today they have a trio of Thames & Kosmos Little Labs kits for just $13 shipped! These normally run about $10-$13 apiece, so it’s like buying one and getting two for free.
Plus you can break ’em up and bam, three birthday party gifts for less than what you might usually spend on one. It’s a lesson in economics on top of the other stuff! You’re totally smart in addition to being pretty.
Forget the kids; shop for you
Sure, you’ve been buying stuff for the kids, but today at Old Navy you have permission to just buy for the grownups. Today and tomorrow, coupon code ONBIG30 saves you 30% on all men’s and women’s styles, including maternity.
It’s like a sign that your kids have enough clothes, or something.
The code works on sale items, too. Might be time to go shopping….
