Support for nursing mothers
Okay—I’m in a hurry, so you’ll have to insert your own jokes here, but nursing bras are no laughing matter for women who need them. The last thing you want to be worrying about is whether or not you’re falling out of your top, right?
This week Motherhood Maternity is offering 20% off all house-brand bras with coupon code 20BRA when you buy two or more.
And you need at least two. One to wear, one to leave on the floor and later wonder why you forgot to wash it. Okay, maybe you need three….
Fresh meat distraction for your DS
I have no idea if this game is any good—though we did quite enjoy the movie on which it’s based—but right now Amazon has Shorts the Nintendo DS game for just $6.69 (free shipping with Prime or on $25+ with Super Saver Shipping).
If I was staring down the barrel of a long trip I think that for under $7 I’d probably chance it.
In case you missed the last one
I posted about a week ago to let you know that buy 1, get 1 half-off was back at Famous Footwear, but there was a also a coupon which has since expired. If you went back to that post you may be feeling sad and bereft, wondering how you can possibly get such savings now.
Not to worry! There’s actually a new coupon; use code SCHOOL2 to take 20% off your order, on top of the buy 1, get 1 half off deal. And remember, when you buy three or more pairs, shipping is always free.
I like to stock up during these sales, and then the next time the kids have an episode of Magical Overnight Foot Growth I only have to pull the next pair down from the closet. It has nothing to do with the 3-pair rule that allows me to buy one pair for him, one for her, and one for me. Ahem.
(Pssst—they also have qualifying backpacks. Two birds, one stone, my friends.)
Happy August! Stop growing!
Welcome to a brand-new month. It’s not even dusty, yet! And although I know I’ve shared a ton of coupons for Children’s Place in the last few weeks (as we all get ready for back-to-school), I know there’s someone out there who said, “Oh, we don’t need anything. Junior still fits into all his clothes from last year.” And then—you know what happened—you woke up a week later and Junior had gained ten pounds and grown three inches.
Happens to the best of us. (Truly. My son just wandered in here in pajamas where the top has mysteriously morphed into a belly shirt. Most perplexing.)
Don’t worry! I’ve got another coupon for you! Shop Children’s Place today and tomorrow, and you can use coupon code AUGUST2010A for 20% off your $75+ purchase.
The 40% off Summer Sale is still going on, too, so it’s a great time to stock up for next year. Just, uh, buy a bigger size than you think you’ll need. Trust me.
Saturday deals
I have a million things to do this weekend, so of course I woke up with a cold. Hmph. As a result I’m moving a liiiittle slooooowly this morning. Shhhh, I’m getting there.
The Amazon Gold Box holds a Magellan GPS with free lifetime map updates for $120, which means it’s the last GPS you’ll ever need and you’ll never have to spend another cent on it. Not that it’s not entertaining to drive along on a newly-constructed road and have my GPS scold me to “Please return to the road. Please return to the road!”, but this may be the better choice.
Oooh, in addition to all of today’s incredible shoe deals at 6pm.com, they also have up to 65% off on Tahari, otherwise known as “one of the brands I go to TJ Maxx to stalk.”
Need more summer shoes, or ready to stock up for next year? They’re having a giant buy one, get one half off sale at Crocs! What’s more, there’s such a long list of model-specific codes available, I just took a screen capture of the email I got rather than typing them all out. Also, it looks like code springfreeship may still be working for free shipping, though it won’t reflect until the final screen, if it is indeed working.
You’ve probably heard of Alice.com by now, but did you know that you can shop Alice via Buy.com? As a little incentive, Buy.com is offering a $10 off $50 coupon on Alice purchases, just to get you started.
Been thinking about a purchase at GiftsForYouNow.com? Here, let me further enable you with a couple of this-weekend-only codes (you’re welcome)! Use code NEWGFYN15 for 15% off any order, or code NEWGFYN20 for 20% off your $45+ order.
Get free shipping on $50+ at Gap with code GAPSHIP50 this weekend, just in case you missed one of the previous bazillion sales they were having. Heh.
I am going to go curl up on my couch with some tea, but I will rustle up a contest winner for you at some point today, pinky swear.
Friday is hot
Today we have reached the point in the summer where I start wondering if, in fact, Georgia is located on the surface of the sun. You’d think I’d be used to it by now, but you’d be wrong. Apparently I never get used to the temperature being 101, with the cheerful forecast assuring me that it feels like 108.
So. I will stay in the air conditioning, and drown my sorrows in shopping. Yes.
Today’s Amazon Friday Sale actually has a couple of decent deals: For the gluten-free amongst us, check out this deal on Glutino pretzel sticks (which are, in my humble opinion, the only GF pretzels worth eating). It comes out to around $4 per 14 oz bag after the discount and Subscribe & Save, which is about half price. There’s also quite a few Kitchens of India items on the cheap after discount and S&S, like this curry paste variety pack. Yum. And the PopChips deal I posted last night seems to still be working, too.
Don’t forget that today and tomorrow are your last days to scoop up dining savings at Restaurant.com while using 80% off code PLATE. Yes, there will be another coupon code in a week or so, but the 80% off codes typically only happen at the end of the month, so it’s a good time to buy.
There’s plenty of 75% off options at 6pm.com today, including Diesel, Vaneli, and Tretorn (plus other deals as well). Hooray for cheap shoes!
That should keep you busy for a little while, right? I have to go climb into the freezer for a few minutes.
School snacks? Popped and ready.
I’m thinking this one is going to sell out pretty quickly….
Right now Amazon has 24-packs of various flavor PopChips available for $20.40, which is hardly a deal. But: Subscribe & Save takes the price down 15%; code SNACKER6 takes the price down another 20%; and code POPC4BTS takes off another 15%. End result? 24 lunchbag-ready bags of a healthy potato chip alternative for under $.50/bag.
Yes, yes; I know. I buy the big bags and portion them out, to save money, too. But at this price, it’s as cheap as doing it myself. I’m stocking up.
Smarter shipping
I always have my eyes open for a good deal on a scale I can use for weighing packages, because I hate standing in line at the post office. I just picked up this 55-pound scale for $16; free shipping with Prime or on $25+ with Super Saver Shipping, and now I can use the online USPS postage program and never stand in line. (I’ll use mine to ship prizes to you, but I know quite a few readers do a lot of eBay and Etsy and might find such a thing useful.)
Besides, the “Does this contain any fragile, liquid, perishable, or potentially hazardous?” question really creeps me out, every time. Does anyone ever answer yes to that? Why does it make me feel guilty when I’m just shipping a book??
Okay, this one really is school supplies
Hey, did I link this one earlier in the month? The days are all kind of running together, probably stuck to one another with popsicle juice and chlorine. Summer is like that, you know.
Regardless, through the end of July, Amazon is offering a sweet school supply deal where spending $100 on eligible products gets you a $20 promo code.
I’m seeing just about everything we need for back-to-school in there, as well as all-year-long supplies like paper—which are already marked down—which means that you could really leverage this deal to your advantage on things you were planning to buy, anyway.
But you’ve only got a few more days to do it; August is going to be here next week. Oy.
Back to school tech
It’s the most wonderful time of the year, because everyone is having a sale to celebrate kids going back to school. It doesn’t matter if it’s something the kids need, even. Back to school clothes! Back to school crayons! Back to school windshield wipers! Whatever.
So there’s a ton of special back to school offers at CompUSA, right now, and I’m pretty sure most of these items aren’t on any elementary school supply lists. But what the heck; a sale’s a sale.
I poked around some and am currently drooling just a little on this refurbished Gateway netbook for just $200. That’s a sweet little computer if you’re looking for something ultra-portable but with all the functionality of a regular laptop (it even has a webcam).
Sure, it costs a little more than crayons and glue, but it’s more fun for the big kids. (And by “big kids” I of course mean “me.”)
