This box is for your baby

What’s this? A new Target Value Box in the middle of the month? Madness! But the kind of madness I love.screen-shot-2016-10-17-at-10-24-57-am

Right now Target is offering this $7 Baby Box, and like their regular Beauty Boxes, it’s a $30 value and you get free shipping, too. This one has all sorts of goodies for baby, from Honest Company wipes to Skinfix Eczema Balm.

Get it for you and your baby, get it for a baby gift… just go ahead and get it before it sells out.

More Kohls (why not?)

I know we just had a Kohls deal, but there is never a shortage of Kohls deals (or, it seems, things I need from Kohls).

Hey, did you know that if you say/type “Kohls” enough times in a row, it stops feeling like a real word? Kohls. Kohls. SNARGLEBARGLE. Anyway.

Here’s what got me today: Right now they have these Big One Microfiber Bed Pillows marked down to just $3.99 apiece, which is crazy low, anyway. We have a proliferation of ancient pillows around the house, and while I probably wouldn’t go with something this cheap for a pillow someone will be sleeping on every night, for guest bed pillows or the day bed where the kids lounge around? No-brainer. I can pick up a bunch of these and chuck the pillows that have been around longer than my teenagers.

Make it even better with your Kohls Card, of course: Use coupon code PUMPKIN30 for another 30% off and code SHIP4FREE for free shipping on any size order. No Kohls Card? Silly rabbit. You’ll still get free shipping on your $75+ order and you can use coupon code TRICK15 for 15% off any order or code TREAT20 for 20% off your $100+ order.

So the good news is: decent cheap pillows. The bad news is there’s no way I’m going to just get the pillows….

It’s a Flash Sale at Kohls!

Ready to get some boots/outerwear? Shop today (Tuesday, October 11th) at Kohls through noon Central time to score some awesome deals—you can use Flash Sale code BUYNOW for an extra 25% off, plus you can stack it with coupon code GET20 for another 20% off (that one works on anything).

I’m not seeing a free ship code right now, but everyone gets free shipping on their $75+ order, or you can opt to pick up your order in-store for free. (As if I’ve ever gotten out of Kohls for under $75… but maybe you have greater restraint than I do!) Also, pro tip: Close to the free shipping, but not quite there? You know you can return items to your local store, right? I’m just sayin’.

Time to stock up at Oriental Trading

Need to fill some goodie bags? If you’re like me, that means it’s time to check out Oriental Trading for a lot of little things for not that much money. The problem is getting to whatever the free shipping threshold is on any given day. But not today! Because today (Monday, October 10th), you can use coupon code OTC165560 for free shipping on any size order. Order as much or as little as you like; it all ships for free.

I’m seeing tons of holiday and classroom items in the Clearance section, too. Might be a good time to make a favorite teacher very happy….

Who deserves a pony?

Have an amazing little kiddo on your shopping list who wants a pony? You can deliver… or, rather, Amazon can deliver this Rockin’ Rider Brown Rocking Pony Ride-On for just $18.26 delivered if you have Prime. If your small recipient would rather ride a buckin’ bronco, the Rockin’ Rider Brown Rocking Bull Ride-On is down to just $17.78, but I don’t think he’s quite as friendly looking as the pony.

Both have great reviews and are recommended for tots up to 40 pounds. No word on how much hay they consume annually, though.

There goes my Thursday productivity

Why did I look? Why did I look?? I have things to do today, but it’s too late, because now I’m glued to today’s Woot-Off.

“What’s a Woot-Off?” you may ask (if you have just arrived on our planet from Mars). Well, it means rotating deals all date at Woot, Home.Woot, Electronics.Woot, Computers.Woot, Tools.Woot, Sport.Woot, Accessories.Woot, Kids.Woot, and even Wine.Woot (motto: what do you mean, olives aren’t wine?). Each deal runs for 30 minutes or until it sells out (whichever comes first), and some prices are ho-hum and others are absolute steals. It takes some watching and some price-comparisons, but I’ve scored some amazing stuff on Woot-Off days.

Pay $5 shipping once and that ships as many orders as you like for the entire day. That means you can keep Wooting for hours, while your actual work and/or family wonders what you’re doing. That’s okay*. The savings are worth it.

*I am not actually advocating watching the Woot-Off over more important life activities. Probably.

It’s tote time!

Longtime readers know that every time these Samsonite Tote-a-Ton duffels go on sale, I get very excited. That’s because these things are as big as steamer trunks, super durable, and fold down to the size of a small paperback book. I knew they were great before I moved my oldest into a dorm, but let me just tell you: She packed all of her clothes in one, and all of her bedding/towels (including pillows and such) in another. We kept saying “There’s no way it’s all going to fit in there…” but it totally did. And unlike bulky suitcases that we would’ve had to take home with us (because dorm rooms are not exactly long on storage space), these did their duty and got folded down and stuck on a closet shelf.

samsonite-tote

Now one tends to come home to me once a month filled with laundry, but that’s a different story.

Anyway! They come in all sorts of colors, and my sale line is about $20; when they go to $20 (and very occasionally, lower), that’s when I think they’re an unbeatable deal. Right now the black with red trim and the turquoise with black trim (do not be fooled by the picture, it really is a turquoise-y color and not the kelly green that photo shows it as) are both down to just $18.89 at Amazon. Run, don’t walk. If I didn’t already have two for each kid, I’d go buy more. Buy ’em for your kids, buy ’em as graduation gifts for other kids, buy ’em to store whatever you have all disorganized at home. It doesn’t matter. These are worth every penny.

Stock up on skin pampering

What do I love best at The Body Shop? A better question is what don’t I love there, though—if pressed—it’s probably a tie for me between the tea tree oil face mask (even my kids use it, for stubborn outbreaks) and the cocoa butter body butter. (Full disclosure: I love all their body butters, really, but that one smells like chocolate and it just makes me happy.)

Anyway! Right now they’ve got a whole bunch of specials running. Nearly everything on the site is 30% off, and you’ll get free shipping on every order. In addition, mini body butters are 3 for $10 (great stocking stuffers or little teacher appreciation gifts!), there’s a few other extra specials, and if you spend $50+ you get a free body scrub at checkout. Spend $100+ and you’ll get free priority shipping, too.

There will be some nutty deals coming up as we get closer to the holidays, of course, but if you’re just about out of that one thing you love (my current tub of face mask is basically empty but still in my drawer because I can scrape out the rest, I don’t want to waste it), this is a nice way to pick up a replacement.

It’s a Premier Event

Why is it a Premier Event? I have no idea. Sure sounds fancy, though, right?

Today (Tuesday, October 4th) only, there’s a huge sale going on across the Williams-Sonoma family of stores. So it’s them, Pottery Barn, PB Teen, Pottery Barn Kids, and West Elm.

There’s a ton of one-day-only markdowns, plus coupon code SHIPFREE looks like it’ll give you free shipping at W-S and the Pottery Barn sites (doesn’t seem applicable at West Elm, unfortunately).

While most of these sites are usually too rich for my blood, with free shipping I can just about always find something I “need” (yes, yes, I know) at Williams-Sonoma, and my kids sometimes “need” something from PB Teen. A sale like this can be a good time to do a little browsing, is all I’m saying.

Protect that screen (and get a spare)

If you have an iPhone 6/6S/7, check this out: Amazon has this Soft Fiber Glass Film iPhone 7/6/6s Screen Protectors 2-Pack listed at $7.90, which isn’t bad, anyway, but there’s a hidden coupon. Add ’em to your cart, go to checkout, and another $6.99 will be discounted, making your total for 2 screen protectors… just 90 cents. (With free Prime shipping, that is, but I assume everyone has Prime by now.)

I have a child who shall remain nameless who goes through screen protectors at, shall we say, a rather rapid rate. Stocking stuffer!
