Cool down for under $10
It’s rare that I get to highlight a deal on a product that I not only 1) bought and 2) love, but which I’ve had for years. And the best part for you is that the price is now way lower than it was when I initially bought it (on sale, of course).
So: If you need a compact fan, and you’re not quite ready to spend the bucks on a Vornado, go grab this Honeywell HT-900 TurboForce Air Circulator for just $9.26 at Amazon today (its lowest price ever). I paid $15 for ours just about three years ago, and one of my kids runs it every single night. It’s still going strong, and it’s quiet, too. Definitely a fan favorite.
(Get it? Get it?? I’ll be here all week, folks.)
Clearance on the clearance, only for today
We don’t have one locally—I think we’re in the wrong part of the country—but I’m always delighted when I remember that Bon-Ton exists. It’s sort of like Macy’s, if you’re unfamiliar. Anyway, yes, they always have sales, but today (Friday, June 9th) is an unusual day: usually their yellow-dot clearance is excluded from any further markdowns, but today, you can use coupon code YDFLASHJUN9 for up to an additional 25% off those items. That’s awesome, because there are literally tens of thousands of items already marked down and just waiting for that additional savings. Use it on clothing, home goods, jewelry, whatever you need. (Also, code JUNLPSTRS17 will take an additional up to 25% off other sale items, but it has a ton of exclusions, so good luck finding something it works on.)
Shipping is automatically free on $75+, or on $25+ if you have ShopRunner. Or add any beauty item to your bag and get free shipping on your entire order with code BEAUTY.
Ulta steals, with free shipping
If you love Ulta as much as I do (what’s not to love about reasonably-priced makeup that feels like high-end stuff?), you’re not going to want to miss this: Today they have nearly 150 items available on a Buy 2, Get 2 Free special, plus—and this almost never happens—you can use coupon code 14087ATG2GNRBPR for free shipping on any size order! (This is like finding a unicorn, people. They usually only offer free shipping on $35 at least.)
I’m off to shop….
Make all the Slime you want
Listen, I don’t quite understand what is happening now with apparently every website having a Best Recipe For Slime Ever, but my friends with younger kids tell me it’s currently The Thing.
And also, apparently, it requires a lot of Elmer’s Glue.
If this sounds like your house, allow me: Today only, Office Depot has you covered—they’ve got this Gallon of Elmer’s Glue marked down to $9.99, but you can apply coupon code 87615421 at checkout to save another buck, plus you’ll get free shipping.
I don’t know how much slime you can make with a gallon of glue, but I do know that if it doesn’t work out and your kids are being obnoxious, it’s probably enough to glue them to the floor for a while.
More make-the-teens-happy shopping
Okay, here’s some more options if your teens/young-adults/etc. are needing some new clothes. Right now just about everything is marked down at American Eagle and Aerie, plus the 10 for $30 undies special is back at Aerie.
Shipping is free on $50+, or on $25+ if you have Shoprunner. Plus shipping is always free on bras, swim, and shoes.
(No, I haven’t quite finished guilt-shopping. Why do you ask?)
It’s Beauty Box time again
Hellooooooo! My child is home from the hospital and things are slowly improving and also I can sleep when I’m dead, right? Right.
But assuming that you haven’t been living a life dedicated to trying to keep a sick and cranky teenager comfortable for the last couple of weeks, maybe you’re thinking about deals. Say, the wonderful bargain of a Target Beauty Box?
Here you go: Right now you can snag the June Beauty Box and/or the Father’s Day Edition Beauty Box over at Target—both will cost you just $7 apiece, with the former being a $32 value and the latter being a $24 value.
The best part is that the regular one comes with those weird face masque sheets that makes you look like you’re wearing someone else’s skin. That’s a bargain at any price. (Did I mention I’m sort of tired? I am.)
You go Woot, I’ll sit here
We are on day 4 in the hospital, and this morning I said something to my daughter and she said, “How about you just let me have mono in peace?” In other words, the sass seems to be returning, which makes me hopeful that she may be sprung soon. In the meantime, I am spending a lot of time here fluffing pillows and feeling generally useless.
But you probably do not have a cranky teenager in the hospital, which means you are free to go check out today’s Woot-Off in peace. They’ll be Wooting off all day at Woot, Home.Woot, Electronics.Woot, Computers.Woot, Tools.Woot, Fashion.Woot, Sport.Woot, Kids.Woot, Shirt.Woot, and Wine.Woot (motto: suddenly super appealing when you’ve spent the last few days sitting in the hospital) (I may be projecting with that just a little bit).
Remember that you’ll pay a flat $5 for shipping on your first order, then you’re free to shop all day and you won’t have to pay shipping again.
Also note that it’s fairly unusual for Shirt.Woot to be included in the Woot-Off, and that means it’s an excellent day to outfit your favorite nerd (or family of nerds). I’m pretty sure about 70% of my son’s shirts at this point are from Woot.
A deal my kid would love if… well, funny story
Okay, so, hi! How are you? Life has been pretty uneventful, here. I mean, my youngest graduated from high school and my parents came for graduation right when it appeared my daughter had gotten the flu—and that was terrifying because I didn’t want my folks to get sick—but hey, good news! Turns out my daughter has mono, and since her grandparents don’t spend a lot of time making out with her, I think they’re safe. But the bad news is that apparently mono can make you really, really sick, so now my kid is in the hospital. Which means I’m in the hospital! Hello from the land of terrible coffee!
(It’s fine. Everything’s fine. She’s finally a little better and we are hoping she’ll be sprung soon.)
Anyway, I hope you will forgive me for abandoning you. I was a little busy.
Now that I’ve had a shower and grabbed my laptop, I am of course guilt-shopping for said kid who is totally miserable. So here: Charlotte Russe is currently offering 20-50% off everything, plus free shipping on every order. My daughter loves their stuff, and it’s a lot more fashionable than the gown she’s currently wearing. Most of it even provides more coverage in the back than said gown, too. Worth a look if you have teen/college-aged young ladies who like trendy clothes (and you like reasonable prices).
Pick up those essentials, from home
Full disclosure: I very, very rarely venture into our local Dollar General, as it seems to rival even That Big Box Store Everyone Hates as the number one destination for people to come beat their children. But sometimes I need a particular thing and know it will be cheaper there than anywhere else, and then I go, and I try to get in and out of there as quickly as I can.
But today, that’s all changed. Today (Monday, May 15th) only, go shop Dollar General online and you can skip the screaming toddlers, plus you can use coupon code MAYDAYSAVE for 20% off and free shipping on any size order. Hooray!
Will I leisurely stock up on toilet paper, deodorant, and other household necessities? I will. Will I have to watch anyone smack their kid? I will not.
Do you need a ton of Twizzlers?
Okay, maybe need is a strong word. As is ton, in this context. Let me start again.
Do you want 9 pounds of Twizzlers? Yes? You’re in luck! Amazon has 9 pounds of Twizzlers available for just $10.68, which is already kind of ridiculously cheap, but if you want to add it to your Subscribe & Save orders and get up to 5+ items, it’ll come down to just $9.08.
Listen, I understand that this is a lot of Twizzlers; I do. I also know that maybe you have some teacher gift opportunities coming up and some teachers like Twizzlers. What’s more, I know that college students love them and having a giant bag of Twizzlers in your room is maybe a good way to make friends. Just sayin’. And for whatever it’s worth, I sent my oldest off to college last year with a giant tub of Red Vines, and was later informed that Red Vines are inferior to Twizzlers. Look at me, learning from my mistakes.
(I have 9 pounds of Twizzlers coming, okay? Don’t judge me.)
