Buy a toy, get a toy
Amazon is doing one of those promotions that’s a little tricky. If you’ve got a bit of patience, they’ll make it worth your while, though.
The deal is this: Buy a select toy, and get this $12 TRIO vehicle for free. The only problem is, you can’t go to one of those “Here, pick one of these” pages to find out what all qualifies, for some reason. Here’s some of the toys I’ve found that qualify for this promotion:
Imaginext Spike-Jaws Dinosaur for $16.49 (18% off)
Imaginext Super Friends Batmobile for $15.54 (38% off)
Imaginext Super Friends Batcave for $41.54 (17% off)
TRIO Wizard’s Castle for $22.54 (44% off)
TRIO Building Set for $17.14 (14% off)
TRIO Building Set with Storage for $20.54 (32% off)
Just add a qualifying toy to your cart, then the TRIO vehicle, and the latter will be free at checkout.
Me, of course, I’d go for the cheapest thing, because that’s like saving the most money with the free item, but I’m a little twisted that way. This is a great way to pick up a little somethin’ for your gift closet or to start your stash of toys to donate come the holidays.
Crocalicious
The good news: Hooray, I’m home! Finally!!
The bad news: OhmygoodlordIamsosickandtired. Even the dog seems a little concerned. I am thinking of going to bed for a day and hoping that fixes matters.
However, how shall we celebrate my triumphant return home? With shoes, of course. Specifically: Crocs. Because why not? Also because I’m sick. It’s clouded my judgment a little; it’s made plastic shoes seem like a fabulous idea!
But here’s the thing: They currently have a million coupons going, and shipping is free, and you can stack codes! Use CROCS4SUMMER for 20% off any order and STACK15 for 15% off any order—that’s 35% off, right there. Also pick from the following to lower the prices on specific shoes:
SCUTES1499 for $14.99 Scutes
GMARYJANE999 for $9.99 Mary Janes
MELBOURNE1999 for $19.99 Melbourne Flips
OLIVIA1499 for $14.99 Olivias
MALINDI1499 for $14.99 Malindis
GABBY999 for $9.99 Gabbys
PREPAIR1499 for $14.99 Prepairs
SCCLOG1999 for $19.99 Men’s Santa Cruz Clogs
LADY1499 for $14.99 Ladys
CLEO1499 for $14.99 Cleos
RELIEF1499 for $14.99 Reliefs
WAVE999 for $9.99 Waves
PRIMA999 for $9.99 Primas
GRADOM25 for 25% off any Ocean Minded style
I can’t think of a cheaper way to stock up on Crocs. Happy Croc-ing!
Are we there yet?
I’m, uh, having a bit of a situation here. Specifically, I’m stranded in Philadelphia. I was supposed to go home last night, and… well, it’s a long story that ends with me trying to get home this morning, instead. That means I’m (hopefully! please!) going to be in the air this morning instead of scoping out deals for you.
I apologize for the interruption in your deal-seeking needs. If Delta Airlines is any indication of how such a thing should be handled, this is the part where I stare at you blankly and shrug. But instead I’m going to suggest a few things and tell you that I very much hope I’ll be back with you this afternoon, from home.
6pm.com is where I always go when times are tough. Because when things get tough, the tough need new shoes.
And allow me to step into the Wayback Machine over at the Target Daily Deals today—they’ve got the entire series of Daria on DVD for just $40. Sweet.
Old Navy is offering 20% off any purchase, today only, with coupon code ONSUMMER. Just in case you need some tank tops to go with your new shoes.
And now I must bid you adieu. When next we speak, I hope to be home. Or have a Delta employee stuffed in my suitcase. Either way.
Sure, I’d love one
Nope, I’m not home yet. So I can’t run a contest just yet. But that’s okay, because Sierra Trading Post is running a better one than I could come up with, anyway: They’re giving away an iPad, no purchase necessary.
I’m telling y’all about it because I love you. Even though if you don’t enter, I probably stand a better chance of winning, myself. Ahem.
Who wears short shorts?
(Remember that commercial? And then once “short shorts” weren’t in style anymore, it was “Who wears short skirts?” for a while. Ah, memories.)
Anyway! Have you checked out the Hanes Daily Deals lately? Today it’s comfy cotton shorts for the entire family. (Shorts for girls are just $2, which is great if you have a kid who likes to wear shorts under her dresses!) The Daily Deals page will show the special price, then going to the product page of any of the items will show the “regular” price, but don’t worry—the discounted price will come up when you add items to your cart.
Use code 107697 to ship your entire order for just $1.99, too. And have a comfy summer.
More deals for Fido
I am back from my vacation, but I’m actually still away from home on business. This, of course, means that I have deep guilt about… my dog. (My husband reports that she’s following him around the house like a duckling, probably wondering what in the world he did with me.)
When I have guilt about my dog, I shop for puppy treats. (What? Stop looking at me like that.) Through Thursday, June 17th, PETCO is having a sitewide sale, with 20% – 40% off just about everything, and free shipping on your $65+ order.
I’m thinking that would be plenty of rawhide for a dog who only weighs 12 pounds.
Get him the whole darn suit
I know it’s cliched to buy Dad a tie for Father’s Day, so why not live it up and get him the whole suit? No? Well, fine, you can still just get him a tie, if you like… in fact, today is the last day to take 50% off of absolutely everything at Jos. A. Bank, so whether you want a tie, a suit, a few shirts, or anything else for him to look spiffy in, you’re all set.
And yes, JA Bank is one of those places that’s always running some kind of sale, but I like this one the best because you don’t have to buy a lot to get great savings. Go forth and save on even a single shirt, if you want.
The last GPS you’ll ever buy
I love my GPS unit (truly, madly, deeply), but the truth of the matter is that your GPS is only as good as the maps on it. And while I think Garmin makes very nice GPS units, I also think they kind of stick it to you with the price of their map upgrades. And if you live in an area where they’re constantly working on the roads, it doesn’t take long before your GPS thinks you’re driving in the river when you’re really not. (Not that it’s not amusing, now and again, to listen to it plead with you “Please return to the road.”)
With this in mind, I’m inclined to call this one a smokin’ deal: Amazon currently has the TomTom XL 350TM 4.3-Inch GPS for just $130, and that includes lifetime traffic and map updates. [Edited to add: Looks like it’s now defaulting to a different vendor on the Amazon page. Look for the “More Buying Choices” column on the right and choose to see the price in-cart when buying directly from Amazon, to get the $130 price.] You’ll never need another unit, unless the new ones start doing something really cool like autopilot, or something.
Or maybe laser shows. Laser shows would be cool, too. But barring that? This is the unit to have. No matter how many times they rip up and move the roads.
Take Dad out to eat
You knew that Restaurant.com sure as heck wasn’t going to let Father’s Day go by without a special for Dad, right? They’re ready for you—through June 20th, use code FATHER for 70% off dining certificates, plus a bonus! That means just $3 will get you $25 worth of dining, plus you’ll get a $10 credit towards a purchase at Lobster Gram, though the idea of sending anyone live lobsters kind of skeeves me out.
I mean, I’m sure it’s a lovely gift for someone a little less squeamish than I am. But the $25 worth of dining out for $3, I’m totally down with that part.
Blend it up
Y’all know that I am serious about smoothies at my house, which means that deep in my heart I someday want to own a Blendtec blender. You know, once I’m independently wealthy.
Until then, though, I keep an eye out for decent deals on blenders for us regular people who maybe don’t have $400 laying around right at the moment. Ahem. Anyway, this morning I spotted this Hamilton Beach Dual Wave Blender at Buy.com for just $25 shipped; their supposed “list price” of $120 is rather ridiculous, but still, a look over at Amazon, suggests it’s a decent deal if you don’t mind the mixed reviews. (And yes, you can get the same price buying it at Amazon via Buy.com.)
Make two individual drinks at once, or a whole pitcher’s worth. For just $25, I may be willing to try it out.
