Discover their best sale yet
Remember the big Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales at the Discovery Channel Store? Forget about those; their best prices of the season are happening today; up to 75% off on some of their most popular items, and today only, ship your whole order for free with coupon code SHIPSFREE.
Sale items run the gamut from educational children’s toys to stuffed animals to DVD sets, and you can use the free shipping code on absolutely anything.
Do you see those Jamie and Adam Mythbusters bobbleheads? At 60% off they’re still $20 for the pair, which I find a little bit hard to justify for something that is so clearly unnecessary, but… I kind of love them. A lot.
Amazon toy markdowns, LEGO games edition
It’s becoming clear to me that I am going to get the flu after everyone else in the house is all better. So last night I made like a worker bee and wrapped all the Christmas presents. I am pleased to report that I did, indeed, buy “evenly” for the kids, and that I remembered where everything was. Go me!
The only thing I didn’t end up buying this year that I really wanted for my son is the new LEGO Creationary game, because it just never went on sale. (Maybe later.) These other new LEGO games just dropped in price, though, and I’m thinking they’ll be perfect to have on hand for upcoming boy birthday parties:
LEGO Race 3000 for $6 (70% off)
LEGO Lava Dragon for $6 (60% off)
LEGO Magikus for $6 (45% off)
LEGO Monster 4 for $8 (47% off)
Hang on a sec… here, have some hand sanitizer. Trust me.
Amazon toy markdowns, ThinkFun games edition
We own a ton of ThinkFun games (most of which came from Amazon December toy markdowns); there’s not a bad one in the bunch. I love that many of them are small enough for stockings or even to tuck away for Easter baskets, and they’re what we take on long car trips or when we go camping. Love.
Some recent price drops on ThinkFun games:
Fifteen Puzzle for $6 (40% off)
Rush Hour Jr. for $7 (61% off)
Gordian’s Knot for $7 (42% off)
Block By Block for $7.49 (50% off)
Shape By Shape for $9 (40% off)
Railroad Rush Hour for $10 (50% off)
And this one came up as “similar” when I was searching. Not from ThinkFun, but good reviews and good price: Mindware Flip 4 Strategic Game for $6 (60% off)
I hope y’all appreciate the lengths I will go to in order to save you from yet another game of Monopoly. I’m just sayin’.
Amazon toy markdowns, Littlest Pet Shop edition
I personally find these tiny bobbleheaded things a little disturbing, but as I recall from my daughter’s younger years, they’re pretty much Little Girl Crack.
So:
Littlest Pet Shop Ultimate Postcard Pet Set 3-Pack for $5.48 (66% off)
Littlest Pet Shop Ultimate Postcard Pet Set 3-Pack – Safari for $5.99 (63% off)
Littlest Pet Shop Carry Case for $5.69 (68% off)
Littlest Pet Shop Barnyard Pets for $5.99 (57% off)
Littlest Pet Shop 2-in-1 Pet Spotlight (Dome 1) for $5.99 (60% off)
Littlest Pet Shop 2-in-1 Pet Spotlight (Dome 2) for $5.99 (60% off)
Littlest Pet Shop Collector’s Starter Pack for $7.99 (62% off)
Littlest Pet Shop Blythe and Pet – Fabulously Vintage for $8.99 (40% off)
(If possible, I find Blythe even creepier than the pets. That no doubt means that every little girl in the country wants one right now.) (You’re welcome.)
Amazon toy markdowns, Nerf extended dance remix
Yeah, I know—I just did a Nerf post… ummm… recently. Maybe a couple of days ago. (The days are starting to blend together. December is like that.) Some of these are new and some of them are further markdowns from what they were a few days ago.
Here we go:
Nerf Bandolier Dart Kit for $7 (59% off)
Nerf N-Strike Maverick for $9.10 (39% off)
Nerf N-Strike Recon CS-6 Dart Blaster for $10 (60% off)
Nerf N-Strike Deploy CS-6 Dart Blaster for $11 (56% off)
Nerf National Dart Tag League Strikefire Championship Kit for $15 (44% off)
Nerf N-Strike Longstrike CS-6 Dart Blaster for $16 (54% off)
Nerf N-Strike Radar Rapid Fire CS-35 Dart Blaster for $20 (43% off)
Nerf N-Strike Vulcan EBF-25 Dart Blaster for $25 (50% off)
Nerf N-Strike Stampede ECS for $39 (35% off)
I have been looking at these for so long, and reading so many of the reviews (“So awesome! We love these!!!1!”) that I may be about to change my stance on toy guns. Lord help us all.
More holideals at Old Navy
Did you know that you can shop Old Navy today and take 20% off your entire order with coupon code ONHOLIDAY? It’s true. Just in case you didn’t catch one of the bazillion other Old Navy sales this month.
What? Maybe you were taking a nap then, or something. I don’t know.
Buy a computer, get $100 back
If you’re in the market for a computer, check this one out: Amazon is offering select computers with a $100 credit, so you buy the computer and then get $100 more to spend at Amazon in the future. (Interesting; some exclusions apply, like you can’t use the credit on Kindle books. Weird.)
Certainly not a reason to run out and buy a new laptop, but if you were shopping for one, anyway….
Get your dailies here
Dailies… get your dailies, hot off the… um… Internet. (Yeah, I’ve got nothin’.)
Today’s St. Nick’s Pick at Lands’ End is all manner of fleece accessories for just $10 apiece, including balaclavas. (For years I wondered why face masks and flaky Greek pastry had the same name. Handy tip: Balaclava is the face mask, baklava is the dessert. You’re welcome.) Shipping is free automatically through my link, or if you’re spending $75+ use coupon code DECORATE30 and PIN 9832 for 30% off your entire order and free shipping on $75+.
Over at Eddie Bauer today’s “gift” is wrinkle-free shirts for just under $30. Shipping is still free through the end of today with coupon code KRINGLE.
Today’s 6pm deals include 70% off Columbia and Stride Rite, among other things. Kind of loving some of those Donna Morgan dresses from the headline deal, too.
It’s Totally Toy Tuesday over in the Target Daily Deals, and coupon code JUH5H3OD should be working for an additional 10% off your purchase sorry, that one is expired… thanks to Jenn for coupon code D3GQ35YV for $7 off $70+, if you’re buying enough to use that one. If you’ve never owned one of those plasma cars, check ’em out—they’re super fun, even for adults. We still play with ours and my youngest is almost 11. I got through one very long New England winter by putting two of those plasma cars down in the basement. And that’s probably all I should say about that….
Fancify your hair, my friends
Lots of people—when I tell them what I do—seem to think that frugal = cheap. And what I always say is that no, I actually have excellent and often very expensive taste; I just like to pay less for the things I want.
One of the places I tend not to skimp is on hair care. (Interesting thought: The older I get, the more I spend on my hair. Vanity, thy name is the battle against premature gray.) But do I want to spend full price on the expensive products I use? No, I do not.
Today (December 14th, 2010) only, shop for all of your high-end hair care needs at Lock and Mane, and save 25% on your entire order with coupon code FRIENDS. Shipping is automatically free on $25+.
Not cheap, people. Expensive, cheaper.
[Hat tip: Hair Thursday.]
Two ways to snag video game deals today
Still hoping to snap up some video games on the cheap? Today’s a great day to do it—Amazon’s got two specials running that’ll help you load up your game system.
First, today is Day 15 of 15 Days of Video Game Deals, and today’s theme is EA Sports. Great deals on all sorts of latest-and-greatest sports games, though I’d admit I’m surprised they’re not just giving away the Tiger Woods Golf game (too soon?). EA Sports Active 2 is down to just $50, and would be great for those New Year’s Resolutions to get off the couch.
Second, check out this assortment of buy 2, get $15 credit games—each is already marked down by at least $5, and then if you buy 2, you’ll get a $15 Amazon credit. (Ooooh, Super Scribblenauts is included in this. Best DS game ever, people.)
Me, I am just watching my family fall one at a time to this flu. I’m looking for Wii Super Immunity, but I haven’t found a deal on it. Yet.
