Rue La Le Creuset
I am trying very, very hard to stop looking at Rue La La today. I mean, so what if they have deeply discounted Le Creuset stuff? Do I really need those adorable star-shaped ramekins? Probably not.
And that petite stoneware casserole dish that looks like a tomato is darling, but really, don’t I have enough casserole dishes? Probably.
Still. Man. It’s pretty, isn’t it? It really, really is.
Everything’s coming up Vera
Uh oh… it’s yet another swoon-worthy day of deals at Vera Bradley!
Here’s what you get to choose from, today:
* Free shipping on your $100+ order.
* 25% off four of their most popular patterns.
* Every Lisa B or Morgan bag is just $17.99 today only.
I myself have yet to succumb to the siren song of Vera (though, ironically, my new glasses frames are from them), but my teen and her friends love them. It was a proud, proud day for me when she found and purchased a VB bag from the thrift store… but at these prices, it’s only a few dollars more to get one new!
A second chance to scoop up NOVICA
If you’re one of the folks who was bummed about not winning the recent NOVICA contest, I have a consolation offer for you! Actually, I don’t, but Groupon does. Today you can snag $60 to spend at NOVICA for just $30, and while I’ll admit that’s not as good as free, it’s pretty darn good.
Big thanks going out to pretty reader Erika who tipped me off to this deal on Facebook. (You are following Want Not on Facebook, right? Good.)
Half-price SIGGs
Have you been to Plum District lately? Today they’ve got a great deal on SIGG bottles: spend $20 and you’ll get $40 to spend at the SIGG store.
I love our SIGG bottles, and especially love that they’re finally making wide-mouth bottles so you can fill them with regular ice (and clean them more easily). SIGGs hardly ever go on sale, so I’m totally digging this deal.
Toddler munchies, discounted
I’ll be the first one to encourage you to make your own baby food, and then—once your baby is old enough—to feed them the same food the rest of the family eats, but sometimes you just need some portable snacks you can throw in the diaper bag. I get it.
If your little one is a snackmonster, Amazon’s current special on Gerber Graduates is for you. Coupon code GERBR434 saves you 15% over the (already-marked-down) listed price, and then buying via Subscribe & Save saves you another 15% and gets you free shipping.
These banana fruit puffs work out to under $1.50/canister, for example. These cereal twist bars? About $1.85/box.
That’s snacktastic, even if you’re not a tot. (Oh, like you’ve never nibbled on your kids’ snacks.)
Two days to save at Piperlime
Today and tomorrow only (that’s June 7th/8th), you can use coupon code SUMMER to save 20% on your purchase at Piperlime. This is good news once you get over all the exclusions—it doesn’t work on final sale items, sunglasses, watches, or certain brands (like Merrell and Hunter).
But if you can work around all of that, it may be a good way to scoop up some kicks for a little less.
(If you can’t find what you want there, there’s always 6pm.com—they’ve got Born and Skechers in the spotlight today. Plus kids’ sandals for 80% off. Just sayin’.)
Print those photos, already
Have the last several years of your kids’ cute antics languishing on your hard drive? Dad might like a photo (or four) for Father’s Day, y’know. Plus, you could cross it off your to-do list and finally have some pictures to display.
So here you go: Hop on over to the Walgreens Photo Center and now through Wednesday, use coupon code DAD40 for 40% off your 4×6, 5×7, or 8×10 prints. Walgreens is already one of the cheapest and most convenient ways to print your photos, but for three days, it’s also a real steal.
Go on. Dad would rather have some pictures than another tie, trust me.
Eat better without breaking the bank
The lovely Jean writes:
Since you are so pretty and smart, I thought you would be able to help me with this question. I am currently in the process of changing my son’s diet. I am trying to remove all HFCS, all dyes etc from his diet. Also, I’m getting him to eat more fruits, veggies etc, as much of it organic as possible. I can and do cook from scratch, but I also work full time. Baking tons of goodies and crackers that he can eat doesn’t fit to well with my commute and work schedule. He will also be heading off to day camp this summer (we send his lunch and snacks with him). My question to you is, where can I get some great snacks that fit into these restrictions without taking a second mortgage on my house? Any websites out there that might be useful, or stores? Additionally, any brands that you love and I should try?
Jean is singing my song, because this is something about which I happen to be pretty passionate. Don’t get me wrong; I’m all for the “occasional treat” and all of the unnatural dyes and HFCS they may contain, but in general, I strive to feed my family real food, hold the chemicals. And as Jean is discovering, that can be harder than it sounds.
So let’s talk about this. read more…
The $5 sale is on at Taste of Home
It only happens a couple of times a year, and this week is one of ’em: Right now the $5 book sale is going on at Taste of Home, which means this is your opportunity to stock the gift closet with kid, teacher and hostess gifts on the cheap. Don’t skip it because you figure you don’t need or want cookbooks (although I have to say, I have a couple of their cookbooks and I really like them)—they’ve got kids’ books, greeting cards, birding guides, basically all kinds of things. And all just $5 each.
Spend $20+ and you can use coupon code 401 for free shipping on your entire order.
Oooh… I just discovered they have a build your own birdhouse kit/book included in the sale. My gift closet is about to get a whole lot happier.
Pro credit card and not ashamed
Regular readers know that unlike many money-savers, I am not anti-credit in the slightest. In fact, I am unabashedly pro-credit-card, provided you use it just like cash, paying off the balance every month.
And that’s what I’m talking about over at Tree.com, much to the dismay of Dave Ramsey fans everywhere. Heh.
