Heads up, my pretties! Amazon’s big Christmas-in-July event, Prime Day, begins at 9:00 pm tonight, and that means a whole host of daily and lightning deals, but you’ll have to be vigilant to snap up the best ones.

Don’t currently have Prime? You can sign up for a free trial if you’ve never had one, or (this is newish, I think) if you’ve had it before you can opt to pay for a month for $10.99, which—depending on tomorrow’s deals—might be worth the cost.

I am ready. Honestly ever since they increased the number of daily Lightning Deals it’s been like a daily Where’s Waldo of steals. Kind of like, “Saw this yesterday… why do they keep listing this… who on earth buys that… OH WAIT that’s 50% off a thing I really use!” Etc. Here’s to tonight and tomorrow bringing us lots of lovely deals….

If you love all things Sur La Table except when it comes to their retail prices (*coughcoughinsanitycough*), get over to Spring post haste—in addition to literally thousands of other great markdowns, they’ve got hundreds of Sur La Table discounts happening right now.

Shipping and returns are always free, so it’s a zero risk expedition.

This is the perfect time to either treat yourself to something you couldn’t afford, before, or to pick up some wedding and/or housewarming gifts and look like a much bigger spender than you actually are. Or both! Either way.

Did you have a long weekend? Was it awesome? I wandered off and did things like… spend time with my husband. And it turns out I really like that guy. Yay!

But now the fireworks are over, taking with them my excuse to eat potato chips all day long, too. (*sob*)

How will I soothe my soul, now? How do I get back to “normal” without feeling bitter about having to do normal things like work and cook dinner? Oh—Target has me covered, actually. They’ve got the July Beauty Box up, and for just $7 delivered I can get $30 worth of cool products, which eases the sting of the aforementioned lack of potato chips.

There’s headwraps, there’s fun masques, there’s all kinds of stuff. Go get one before they sell out. It might not cure what ails you, but you should probably check, right?

Okay, you’re not thinking about back-to-school yet (heck, some of you just got out of school last week…), but if you did, you could skip the insanity in August. Or if you need to restock the cleaning closet. Or whatever; you may remember that you can shop Dollar General online, but right now you can also save 20% and get free shipping with coupon code SHIPSAVE20.

In my case, that means I can stock up on filler paper and spiral notebooks so that my kids don’t get them at the college bookstore (because they’ll pay five times as much, there), plus I can get toilet paper, Windex, a new cooler… all kinds of stuff, really, without having to fight through crowds or even put on real pants.

I fear I have said too much. Um. Focus on the savings, please.

Listen, I don’t know where you live, but where I live, right now it’s alternating between surface-of-the-sun hot and torrential downpours. I’m still sort of waiting for that “lazy summer weather” I was promised, but whatever. It’ll show up, eventually.

In the meantime, if you’ve discovered that your outdoor furniture could use a little refresh, you’re probably debating between spending full price now or waiting until the end-of-summer clearance. I’m here to tell you that you don’t have to wait: Right now Home Depot has a slew of outdoor cushions available at 75% off, plus they’ll ship to you for free.

There’s tons of options, but I’ll just suggest you stick with the Sunbrella fabrics if you want something that’s going to withstand the weather for years to come. (You’ll pay a little more, but it’s well worth it.) Either way, though, you’re not going to see prices like this again until September (if there’s anything left).
