It’s a crazy home sale
Whoa, I haven’t been over to Smartbargains for a while, but going in via that link there will give you 10% off of everything, and that’s on top of the current home sale they’re having, which is automatically giving you extra percentages off all kinds of home stuff. (Click through on the “Home Coupons” link and then go browse around.)
There’s only 48 hours to scoop up the deals, so don’t delay. I see a bunch of great deals on leather storage ottomans, for example, but I’m not quite done looking. (Though, for the record, we’re on Day 3 of summer vacation and a couple of storage ottomans to stuff my children into are sounding pretty good right about now….)
Nothing sucks like an Electrolux
Hey, I’m not being fresh—I’m pretty sure that’s actually their tag line. Catchy, right? Heh.
So here’s an interesting one if you’ve always wanted an Electrolux: Right now Boscov’s has the Electrolux Intensity Upright vacuum in their outlet for just $99.99. You’ll pay a “heavy item” shipping charge of $30, but that’s still a total of $130 vs. the $240 it currently goes for at Amazon.
I don’t know anything about these machines firsthand, but it has overwhelmingly good reviews online, and the price is certainly right.
Eat up the savings
Dying for a night out? You don’t have to scrape spare change out of the sofa to make it happen; just go visit Restaurant.com and use coupon code FLAG through the end of the month to save 80% on dining certificates!
That’s $25 of eating out for just $2 out-of-pocket, and if you can’t think of anything to do with an extra $23, well, it’s like I don’t even know you anymore.
Just for the ladies
Still need running shoes or other athletic gear? Through May 29th, Lady Foot Locker is offering extra savings; code LKS1TY23 gives you $10 off $50+, while code LKS1TY33 gives you $25 off $100+. If you need special fancy sneakers or something, this might be the way to get ’em for less.
Me, I’m still looking for the sneakers that do the running for me. I didn’t see them on sale, but hope springs eternal….
Today when I say sparkly, I mean vampires
I do not understand the obsession with Twilight, but I hear it’s kind of a popular thing. Or so every teen girl in the general vicinity would lead me to believe. If you’re a fan (or love someone who is), it’s all coming up Twilight in the Target Daily Deals today, from the Eclipse soundtrack down to Barbie Jacob and Edward dolls.
Just the fact that those dolls even exist scares me a little, but surely someone out there right now is going, “Yes! Finally!” Heh. Um, happy vampire-ing….
Saturday deals
Good morning! Three out of four members of my family are currently on steroids to control excessive allergic reactions. Things are… interesting at my house right now. Here’s hoping things are a little less interesting at your place. (Related: Please send cookies. And earplugs.)
Know what makes me feel better when everything’s a little… ahhh… energetic around me? Shopping! Yay!
Summer is a great time to stock up on oatmeal at Amazon; they reduce the cost around now because everyone’s giving it up for the warmer months. But it stores just fine, and won’t you feel smart come the return of cold weather? You will. Smart and pretty. And if you love the taste of steel-cut but not the extended cooking time, today’s your lucky day: Amazon has the 6-pack of McCann’s Quick & Easy Steel Cut Oats for just under $13 shipped when you buy via Subscribe & Save. It cooks in just 5 minutes, and steel cut oats are not only better-tasting (I think) than rolled oats, they’re better for you, too.
Also at Amazon: If you’re still looking for a GPS, how about this refurbished TomTom XL 340S for $90? It has text-to-speech and plenty of bells and whistles, and buying refurb is a great way to get plenty of features for less money.
6pm.com has Clarks up to 70% off this weekend (catch me, I’m swooning!), as well as slashed prices on Nike, Oakley, Mia, and more.
Is it clothes you want this weekend? Shop Old Navy for the next two days and use code ONCAMP15to save 15% on any order, as well as getting free shipping on $75+. Meanwhile, Children’s Place just reduced their sales items another 25%, and have their $5, $6, $7, $8 sale back again, plus code E4A5A will give you another 15% off your order (phew)! And—one more—it’s currently Girls’ Weekend Out at Macy’s, which means an automatic extra 20% off clothes for women and girls.
Also just this weekend, it’s time to buy more and save more at eBags; through that link, you’ll enjoy 15% off one item, 20% off two items, or 25% off three items! See, it’s like the universe really wants you to get that new purse when you’re picking up a new backpack for your kid.
If it’s toys you need, have you been to the Toys R Us Clearance Section lately? Looks like they recently restocked, and any time you spend $100+ on stuff other than video game consoles, you’ll get free shipping. Might be worth a look if you have some big gift occasions coming up, or your gift closet is running low.
That should get your Saturday started off right, right? Good luck out there today.
While I wait out the rain
I promised the kids we’d go strawberry picking today, because I am a moron who doesn’t know how to check the weather report. Um. Oops? Mea culpa, kids. Hey! Who wants ice cream for breakfast?
On the up side, though, this gives me plenty of time to find more deals. (I’m a glass-is-half-full-of-pretty-shoes kind of gal.)
The Amazon Friday Sale is still limping along, and every week I swear not to go back, and every week I take a peek, anyway.
Like, every Friday I end up picking up snacks. Am I the only person who loves these seaweed snacks? After the Friday discount and Subscribe and Save they’re just $15.20 for the 24-pack, or about $.63/apiece. And there’s an abundance of Mrs. May’s Trio bars today, too (my favorite are the tropical ones), though every time I post these someone says “These are made in China!!!” So, um, if that bothers you, don’t buy them. (I’ve been eating them for years and haven’t had a problem, for whatever that’s worth.)
And if you’re in the mood to get started on Halloween, how about 50 packs of spooky Wikki Stix for about $12? I just have to remember where I put them….
And finally, don’t forget to check out the 100 MP3 albums for just $5 each; it’s a great way to stock your iPod on the cheap.
Elsewhere today…. I can’t stop laughing at the dog fan in today’s Target Daily Deals. (It’s not quite cheap enough for me to feel the need to buy it, but it sure did make me giggle.) The underbed storage chest is winging its way to me, though, as I continue to fight the good fight against clutter. Remember to click through this here link to activate a $5 off $50+ coupon, or try code TGTREACT for 15% off any order if you haven’t used it yet.
There’s the usual crop of weekend sale goodness happening at Kohls, plus there’s coupons for everyone (woohoo)! Use code SPECIAL20 for an extra 20% off, and that’ll stack with code ORDER75 for free shipping on $75+.
Getting ready to party this summer? Shop for everything you need at Oriental Trading Company and use coupon code SHOPOTC for 20% off and free shipping! (This is a rare coupon from them, giving both a discount and free shipping. My guess is that it won’t last long.)
Alright, my pretties, that should keep you busy for a while. Stay out of trouble and stay dry!
Don’t forget your coupons!
Have you checked your available Amazon Grocery coupons lately? I just took a trip over there and refreshed a couple of times to see what all they had for me. One of my coupons was for $5 off Align Probiotics, which is something we use that I’m always grumbling about the cost of. My supermarket sells it for $28/box! But today it was marked down to $17 at Amazon, so after my coupon and the 15% Subscribe & Save discount, I was able to order a box and have it shipped right to my door all for under $10.
Oh, Amazon. Don’t ever leave me, baby.

In stock and ready to save summer
I know, I know… everyone has a Wii already. Except, some of you don’t, and maybe you’ve been thinking about it but not really sure.
May I just say three words to those of you on the fence? Here they are: Rainy summer day. (I’m just trying to help!)
If you’re in the market, there’s good news—not only does Amazon have Wii Consoles in stock for the low price of just $180 (remember when $240 was the price, period?), they’ve also got the Wii Fit Plus with Balance Board in stock (though that one’s still $100, it’s been kind of hard to find).
One needn’t spend quite this much to quell the “Mom, I’m bored!” battle cry, of course, but if you were planning to get one anyway….
