See today’s deal at Plum District!
Even more diaperiffic
I think that pretty soon I’m going to have to turn my office into one of those war-room-looking things with multiple computer monitors and white boards, and one entire wall is going to be dedicated to keeping track of all the various “daily deal” sites, which now seem to be cropping up faster than I can check all of them.
For those with little ones still in diapers, be sure to check out Plum District today; the deal is $20 for $40 worth of diapers at Diapers.com.
This will probably come in very handy once you bring home all of those babies you bought at Old Navy, earlier. What?

C is for cookie
Okay. Generally I shy away from highly processed foods. Usually I eschew individually-packaged items, preferring instead to save money and packaging to just break things up for lunchboxes on my own.
That said: The thing I have missed the most, since giving up wheat? Oreos. There is nothing that compared to an Oreo, man. Nothing.
So if I was a super-nice mom, I might go ahead and pick up this 48-pack of single-serving Oreo packs from Amazon, because right now it’s just $12.89 shipped when you buy via Subscribe & Save. that’s 48 happy school lunches for just under $.27 apiece.
Lots of packaging? Yes. Probably not very healthy? Yes. But Oreos? Oh, yes, pleeeeeeease.

You know I love it when babies are on sale
Oh, I know, they’re supposedly not selling actual babies, but I always get a little excited when there’s a big Baby Sale at Old Navy, anyway.
Here’s how the savings stack up for today:
1) Up to 40% off baby items (adorable pieces starting at just $5).
2) 40% off maternity items (everything under $20)!
3) Today (September 23rd, 2010) only, spend $50+ on baby/maternity and you can use coupon code ONSALE to ship it all for free.
Hopefully you already have a baby in mind for those wee adorable clothes, because it turns out to be surprisingly difficult to purchase infants. I mean, I assume. Shutting up, now.

Designer denim, Amazon prices
As Amazon looks for more and more ways to keep you shopping with them, even those of us with more expensive taste are reaping the benefits.
Take the current Denim Shop Sale, for example. Sure, you can get Dickies and Levis, if that’s what you want, but you can also get Lucky’s, Joe’s, True Religion, 7 For All Mankind… all kinds of top brands. And not only will you get the convenience of shopping through Amazon and everything that includes (like free returns on clothing), spend $100+ and you can use coupon code 20OFFJNS for an additional $20 off.
Even better: If you have Prime and you spend $75+, you get a $10 credit towards a future purchase, too.
And just like that, your designer jeans are being delivered to your door at a decidedly un-designer price. Sweet.

Save the shipping
The older I get, the more I love Eddie Bauer, which either means that my taste is improving in my old age, or that they’ve become unhip without my noticing. Although these are equally likely possibilities, let’s assume the former. Yes.
Anyway, today (September 23rd, 2010) only, you can use coupon code FREEFALL to ship your order from there for free, which is excellent because paying shipping is for suckers. Also, their clearance section is looking newly restocked, so while you could certainly scoop up the newest styles for Fall, you’d be even smarter to scope out the end-of-season and last-season deals.
Just leave some Blakely pants for me. I can always use more pants.

Hot! Eco Town on the cheap!
Not only is this an incredible deal, it’s the last place I ever would’ve thought to look for it. Many, many thanks to pretty Want Not reader Theresa for alerting me to this one!
Right now Nordstrom has the Plan Toys Eco Town Play Set available for just $75. (I know! Nordstrom!) Theresa reports that they only charged her $8 in shipping to send it all the way to Alaska, too.
For comparison: The same set is currently $115 at Amazon.
Plan Toys are wonderful products; very eco-conscious, beautifully made, and usually heinously expensive. Theresa is right that this is quite the steal, assuming you were willing to pay for a really nice play set, of course.
These won’t last long, so hop to it if you want one.
Shoes, glorious shoes
I have the cure for the Wednesday blues, and the only prescription is… more shoes.
(What? You thought maybe all of a sudden I was going to develop an affinity for something else?)
I’m currently taking a few minutes to wade wistfully though today’s deals at 6pm.com, because you know I have a weakness for Clarks, and those under-$20 shoes from Annie are pretty cute, too.
Of course, if—for some reason—you can’t find the perfect deal to make your heart go pitty-pat at 6pm, today, you could always pop on over to Shoebuy and take 20% off your order with coupon code EMLFALLKICKOFF10. You know, if you wanted to.
I’ll just be over here browsing the boots, even though it’s still 90 degrees outside. Hope springs eternal, y’all.

Sometimes showy is good
Normally I go for understated over showy, but if you were hanging around Want Not last year ’round the holidays, you may remember that one very popular item that kept popping in and out of stock at Amazon were the “oversize gift editions” of various children’s storybook classics. Right now they’ve got The Ugly Duckling available for $7.52 and I have to say, this is still one of my very favorite make-a-statement gifts. The artwork is incredible, the story is timeless, and who isn’t going to be a little wowed by a book that’s 17″ tall?
This is perfect to add in with a baby shower gift, or to give to your child’s favorite teacher as a gift for the classroom. I’m sure the original price of $85 is inflated, but this book is easily worth four times what they’re currently charging. And I certainly won’t tell anyone how little you paid.

Start putting that discount to work
Assuming that you went ahead and signed up for Amazon Mom when I told you about it, you’re already set to enjoy free Prime shipping and an extra 15% off all kinds of baby supplies, already. Every time you order from their Baby store, exceed $25 and you’ll get another free month of Prime (up to a full year), not to mention that you’ll be paying a full 30% less than the listed price between your Mom discount and Subscribe & Save on things like diapers that you have to buy, anyway.
So. Do you have enough wipes? Because if you don’t, right now you can get a case of 720 Pampers Unscented Aloe Wipes for just under $13 shipped, after discounts. That seems pretty reasonable to me, even if they do (somewhat creepily) describe the wipes as having “thousands of soft cleansing buds.” (Ummm… eww?)
It’s almost enough to make me wish I still had a kid in diapers. (I’m lying. It isn’t. Nothing is. Still, its a heck of a deal.)
