Check the Gold Box for a SlingShot
Been looking for a great camera backpack? Check out the critically-acclaimed SlingShot All-Weather Digital Camera Backpack, currently a Lightning Deal at Amazon for just $38 shipped.
This would make an awesome Father’s Day gift for your favorite dad who’s a camera enthusiast and needs something to haul his gear. Just sayin’.
It’s the half-yearly sale
Twice a year, Nordstrom has a women/kids sale that brings their prices down from Pure Ridiculousness to Maybe If I Have A Little Windfall. Joking aside, I’m seeing tons of half-off merchandise, and even some things up to 80% off.
Basically, it’s one of the only two times a year I can shop at Nordstrom at all. So it may be worth a look if you’re in the market for something pretty to wear.
Gear up to eat through the holiday weekend
Chances are you’re planning to char some foodstuffs this weekend to celebrate Memorial Day, but if letting someone else bring you your meal is more your style, don’t forget about Restaurant.com for an easy way to eat out on the cheap! Now through the end of the month, you can use coupon code FLAG for 80% off, which means you can bag some $25 dining certificates for just $2 each! (And they take Paypal, which I lovingly refer to as “Internet sofa cushions”—there’s always a few bucks to be found there, right?)
Do be sure to read the fine print, because different restaurants have different rules about minimum purchase and sometimes even day of the week eligibility, but overall, it’s a great way to eat out for less.
Juice it yourself
I’m hearing a lot about juicing, lately. Some of my friends have taken to creating their own morning concoctions out of fruits and vegetables and claim they’ve never felt better. Me, I’d rather just eat the fruits and vegetables. But to each their own! If you’ve been looking for a good juicer, I may have good news for you.
Right now Amazon sells the Breville Juice Fountain Plus for $150; or they have refurbished ones for $115 shipped (both have great reviews, by the way; this is a monster of a machine). But today Buy.com has a refurbished one for just $70 shipped, making it the clear choice in terms of bang for your buck. I’ve never seen this machine so low.
Then again, I’ll just be over here eating all the fruit you cut up for your juice, so… yeah.
All aboard for stacking fun
Have little ones in your life, or upcoming baby showers? Stock your gift closet with this beauty: The Melissa and Doug stacking train, down to just $8.21 at Amazon.
It’s a train! It’s stacking blocks! It’s both! (Quick: who just thought “It’s a floor wax and a dessert topping!” when I said that? Gold star to you.) And of course it’s that sturdy Melissa and Doug quality, so whoever you give it to is going to think you spent a lot more than you did. Just a little bonus, there.
The good kind of smelly stuff
Just in case you haven’t had your fill of The Body Shop lately, I’ve got yet another great deal for you. Not saying you don’t already smell great, you understand. Maybe you need some gifts.
Today only, automatically save $10 off your $40 order, $20 off your $60 order, or $30 off your $80 order. Combine it with their current specials (and free shipping at $50+) for some serious savings.
I would like one of everything, please. But I’ll try to narrow it down.
Heads up: Today is Allure Beauty Box day!
I’m giving you half an hour of lead time for this one, so that you can get ready if you want one. It’s time for another Allure Beauty Box, and this year’s offering promises $350 worth of goodies for just $40.
I have mixed feelings about the fact that they seem to no longer be including sunscreen. Didn’t this all start as a “Fun in the Sun” project to benefit the Skin Cancer Foundation? They’re still donating over there, but no sunscreen for us. Hmph. On the other hand, I’m always going to buy sunscreen, whereas I probably wouldn’t pick up a lot of these products at full price, so… like I said: mixed feelings.
Regardless, you know the drill. The box becomes available for purchase at noon Eastern (half an hour from the time of this posting), and sometimes it’s hard to get in right away, so persevere if you want one. Good luck!
A quick Rue La reminder
If you signed up with Rue La La during the bonus period where you got $20 credit, take note—that credit expires tomorrow (May 25th). If you haven’t shopped yet, you’ll want to make sure you get it spent before you lose it.
There’s some cute Elle beachwear available today, among other things. But mostly I just don’t want y’all to lose your credit.
Shoooooooes, Grommit!
(Yes, I really do make the Wallace “excited hands” the same way he does when he says “cheeeeeeeeese!” when I say “shoooooooes!” It’s charming and not at all embarrassing to my kids, I’m sure.)
There’s a giant shoe sale going on at Bon-Ton today, including an adorable featured bonus buy on some Aerosole sandals for just $20. But if those don’t float your boat, there’s all kinds of other options, plus you can use coupon code ECM25SHSY11 for an extra 25% off. That’ll stack with code 2011SELECTGUEST for free shipping, so there you go. Awesome shoes on sale, shipped free.
I don’t know about you, but I can’t argue with that.
You know I love the Rabbids
Looking for some more rainy day kid-entertainment? You know I love me some Raving Rabbids—of all our Wii games, I think the kids laugh the hardest playing those. (Quite possibly because you can’t spend time being a demented rabbit doing ridiculous things without laughing; just a guess.) Today’s Amazon Video Game Deal of the Day is Raving Rabbids: Travel in Time for just $10.
Reviews are mixed (several say this is not the best of the Rabbids series), but for $10 I may chance it. Related: my kids are pretty easily amused.
