That’s my kind of celebration
Yeah yeah yeah… let’s all celebrate Earth Day by hugging trees and marveling at the splendor of our planet and all of that. Yes. Sure. Of course.
But after we do that, is it cool with everyone if we take the celebration someplace where it really matters… like… to buying new shoes?
I mean, I’m just saying that Piperlime is offering 20% off flat sandals for one day only in celebration of Earth Day, and I think that’s a viable path of recognition, too. Because… ummm… then you can… go for a hike! On the earth! With super-cute shoes!
It totally works. Trust me—I’m an expert.
(Pssst! Just use coupon code SWEET to save. And they have free shipping and free returns, too.)
Earth Day Earth deals
(Try saying that one five times fast….)
It wouldn’t be Earth Day without some rock-bottom deals from the Discovery Store on their hottest “holy crow you will not believe some of the crazy stuff that happens on our planet” DVDs, am I right? Of course not.
Today only, shop Discovery Store’s greatest deals on their top three DVD sets and save big; choose a Blu-ray bundle of Life and Planet Earth for $50 (a 71% savings), or choose Planet Earth and Blue Planet together or Life and Nature’s Most Amazing Events together (both sets in standard format) for just $40 each (savings of 75% and 56%, respectively).
Every now and then I think we’ll get sick of these sorts of shows, but then I realize that actually, no, watching hyenas terrorize lions and steal their antelope carcass just never gets old. (What?)
Polka-dot pampering
I’m a fool for anything from Burt’s Bees, anyway, but when I clicked over to today’s Target Daily Deals and saw that adorable polka-dotted pouch filled with Burt’s Bees products I knew it was a sign. Because while I know that not all teachers are women, and while I know that not all women enjoy mani-pedis, the end of the school year is coming, people.
And nothing says “Thank you so much for not throttling my child this year” like a little pouch full of all-natural hand and foot pampering goodies… unless it’s a little pouch full of all-natural hand and foot pampering goodies that you got on the daily deal for half price with free shipping. I’m just sayin’.
Big discounts on adorable
Oh, man… you have to check out today’s Sale of the Day at Company Kids if you’re looking for some cute girls’ clothes. They’ve got an assortment of tops for just $5 each and three colors of coordinating bermuda shorts for just $8 each! Normally their stuff is very pricey, so this is a rare bargain.
I kind of wish they made a couple of those Ts in my size, quite frankly.
More today-only savings
Doorbusters on a Wednesday? That’s just craziness. What is the world coming to? Well, nevermind, it’s a little weird but I’m willing to go with it. For the sake of keeping the peace, dontchaknow.
So here’s how to save today at Kohls: First, they’ve got pages of Doorbusters going, for the lowest prices on whatever you might want or need. Next, earn $10 of Kohls Cash for every $50 you spend. Orders of $75+ ship for free, automaatically, too.
And the icing on the cake: Kohls charge card holders can use code APRILLPS for an additional 15% off, and everyone can use code NEW6703 for an extra 10% off.
They had a killer deal on a Belgian wafflemaker that appears to be sold uot, now, but I’m going to keep my eye on it to see if it comes back in stock. (Maybe this is Nature’s way of telling me to stick to oatmeal?)
Hey, history geek
Happy Wednesday! Today’s a good day to shop at the History Channel Store, because there’s one-day-only savings fit for only the geekiest of history nuts. (And when it comes to geeky, I don’t want to brag, but I do believe Want Not attracts some of the very finest from the pocket-protector set, am I right?)
It’s the day-before-Earth-Day savings, all day today, and it’s simple: Just use coupon code EARLYEARTH and save 20% on anything, all day. That means that documentary you’ve been itching to own can be yours for less, my friend.
Stay nerdy.
And that other place, too
Oh, as much as I wish my daughter would happily dress in those Hanna dresses she used to love for the rest of her life please stop growing up right now young lady, I have come to accept that she’d much, much rather go drool on the clothing at Justice, these days. Hmph.
Thank goodness they keep pushing out those 40% off codes; through May 10th, use code 773 and pay just 60% of the they-want-how-much? price for tween bliss.
And as much as I love to give Justice a hard time, sometimes, I have to confess that they have the biggest assortment of tankinis and one-piece bathing suits (read: non-hoochie options) for girls I’ve seen this season. With the 40% off code they’re not too expensive, either.
It’s Hanna time
Twice a year, Hanna Andersson has a big sale and a free shipping offer, and twice a year I have to pry myself off the computer to avoid ordering one of everything. True story.
It’s happening right now—nearly everything is 20% off, and if you order $100+ worth (sadly, not that hard, even at sale prices), your order will ship for free. The sale only goes through the end of the week, so now’s the time to shop.
It almost makes me long for the old days, when my daughter and I would wear matching Hanna dresses for Mother’s Day like the dorks we are. (We’re still dorks, but we no longer dress alike because that would be terribly embarrassing, Mom, geez.)
All-organic lollies, all-bargain yum
Don’t make me wax rhapsodic about this candy again—you know how I get when talking about lollipops that are good enough for Mom to be sneaking out of the container on the sly. Ahem. But Amazon has brought back another great deal on Yummy Earth candies and I just can’t help being a little excited.
For my money, the best deal is the 5-pound bag of pops, because—between 20% off coupon code YUMET924 and buying via Subscribe & Save—it ends up being just over $13 to your door, and that is a lot of lollipops. (I’ve bought that bag before and then divvied it up for teachers in smaller, prettier bags to give out to the kids at school.) But you can stack those savings on any of the five pages of eligible products, so if the hot chili pops or the ginger zest pops (those are great for morning sickness, by the way) are more your style, knock yourself out.
I just love this brand, and I love that there can be delicious, Jolly Rancher-like candy that isn’t full of artificial colors and chemicals.
If you have a Wii, you could have livestreaming
Just a little reminder—remember back when I alerted you to the upcoming ability to livestream Netflix via Wii? Well, the magical livestreaming disc is now available, so if you signed up before you should already have it.
If you didn’t sign up before, and you’re not already a subscriber? Go sign up for Netflix now—you can start with a free trial—and request your free livestreaming disc. You only have to have the $9/month subscription to take advantage of the “instant viewing” options, and we have loved being able to watch stuff instantly.
In fact, I’m pretty sure we’ve had the same movie disc sitting on top of the TV for months; we use the livestreaming all the time, though. (Because we are old and lazy and enjoy instant gratification and it’s a heckuva lot cheaper than going to the movie theater.)
