A Dragon Blu-ray deal
If your family loved How to Train Your Dragon, now’s your chance to pick it up on Blu-ray for just $12.50 at Amazon. This is actually the Blu-ray/DVD combo pack, so it’s perfect if you haven’t yet made the jump to Blu-ray, or if you have a Blu-ray player at home but want a portable version as well.
Also, it’s possible I’m just a sucker for movies about dragons. There, I said it.
Get Reinspired
Need new sneakers? Hop on over to Reebok today and you’ll see that their selection of Easytone Reinspire shoes have been marked down from $100 to $80. But go ahead and apply coupon code EASYTONE to drop the price to just $40/pair!
Free shipping on your order, too. Those are some fancy kicks for a decidedly decent price.
Whimsical wares, half price
Remember a few weeks ago when Rue La La had a deal on French Bull stuff and I was so excited? Yes, it’s true that I am easily amused, but it’s also true that French Bull tends to be pricey, though super-cute.
Today you can snag a $30 Groupon to French Bull for just $15. (Tell me these kids’ robot plates don’t make you smile and I may have to check you for a pulse.) The Groupon can be used towards shipping, too.
It would be wrong for me to make my decidedly non-toddler-containing family all eat off of robot plates, right? Sigh.
Hey there, Sparky
If you’re in the market for a scooter for the kids—particularly if you like something a little flashy—check out today’s Daily Deals at Target. They’ve got a Razor scooter with a new and improved “spark bar” to leave a trail of sparks whenever the rider feels like it, and today’s price is just $48 shipped. (For comparison and reviews: here it is at Amazon for $10 more, with great reviews.)
I’m not saying we won’t find it cheaper before the holidays, I’m just saying that’s a pretty great price if you need one now.
We had some generic brand of scooter until I found a deal on some Razors last year, and now we have the real thing. Whoa, what a difference. I can ride on the kids’ scooters without being afraid it’s going to fall into pieces around me. Heh.
Burt’s Bees + Amazon Mom = BFFs
Been looking for a good deal that’ll also allow you to extend your Amazon Mom membership?
Right now Amazon has this 2-pack of Burt’s Bees Shampoo & Wash for just $9.29 shipped after you combine your automatic Mom discount with Subscribe & Save. Buy two of them—for a total of 4 bottles—and I believe that meets the $25 minimum to extend your Mom membership for another month, because it’s based on the pre-discounted price.
I shamelessly love everything Burt’s Bees; it’s all-natural, gentle, and all of their products smell delicious. Whether you use this on your own kids or get some for baby shower gift add-ons, the price is definitely right.
More is better (obviously)
Shopping the holy trinity of mall clothing today? (Was that blasphemous? I didn’t mean it to be. Much.) I am referring, of course, to Gap, Old Navy, and Banana Republic. (Although, truly, they’re more like the Brady Bunch sisters than a trinity. Old Navy is Cindy, Gap is Jan—all “Marsha, Marsha, Marsha!” about how everyone likes her better—and Banana Republic is Marsha.)
Shop any or all of ’em the next few days and you can use coupon code BRONGAP35 for a whopping 35% off your purchase. Free shipping automatically on any order of $50+, too.
Some exclusions apply, but overall it’s a great way to snap up a few of those things you were going to buy anyway, while justifying a few others that maybe you weren’t. Heh.
Naughty bits for your naughty bits
Warning: You must be 18 to read this post. Or I’m totally going to tell your mom.
Look, I’m not saying this is, uh, everyday wear, but it just so happens that right now the clearance at Fredericks of Hollywood is all an additional 40% off when you add items to your cart. That makes for some very affordable prices on items that might… add a little spice to your life. Just sayin’.
Oh yeah, they have some bathing suits and real clothing in there, too. Between the other things. Ahem.
Two thirds off customized goodies
A quickie for you before we head out to the Farmer’s Market this morning—check out this Groupon to InkGarden! $10 gets you $20 to spend on the customized merchandise of your choice, anything from greeting cards to t-shirts. Pretty sweet.
I suspect this deal is because the site is newer/smaller than many of the others that already offer similar services, but for $10 I’m willing to give it a shot.
Hello, Friday!
Another week has come to an end. If anyone figures out where the “slow motion” button is for this summer, please let me know.
I am about to give up on the Amazon Friday Sale. Or at least demand that they change its name to the Coffee Sale. And don’t get me wrong, I’m a huge fan of coffee, but c’mon. If you’re a fan of Vita Coco coconut water, though, there’s a bunch of varieties in today’s sale, and those are also eligible for another 15% off with coupon code VITACO43, plus another 15% off and free shipping when you purchase via Subscribe & Save.
Have your eye on a really expensive book? Through the weekend, coupon code BHU9140Y takes 40% off any one book item at Borders. It appears to be working even on textbooks, so that could be very useful if you’re needing one of those.
Eddie Bauer is having their Ultimate Sale right now, and today only you can use coupon code SAND for free shipping on your $75+ order. You know how I feel about Eddie. (Eddie, baby, don’t ever leave me. And don’t ever discontinue the Blakely fit pants!)
Today at Kids.Woot you can get a 2-pack of Mobi Glomate Juniors for just $11 shipped (for reference: one is normally around $10 at Amazon). These are fun, portable night lights for little ones. (Um, my kids are not-so-little and it’s possible they still sometimes use the ones we have to play after dark. Ahem.)
Got sunglasses? One of the deals today at GraveyardMall is 6 pairs of women’s Dockers sunglasses for just $20 and $7 shipping.
That should get you started. Especially if you need a whole lot of coffee. Heh.
Stocking stuffer! (Yes, it’s still July)
No time like the present, am I right? Particularly when it means you can snag a Nintendo DS game right now for just $5.80 shipped!
Amazon has Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer available right now with free shipping, and at under $6, if you have a kid with a DS, that’d be a fun treat for the stocking.
Read the reviews—it sounds like this is a good one for younger kids. And you’ll feel virtuous, picking it up this early. Just, uh, don’t forget where you’ve stashed it before December!
