Have enough left over for the trip
Weren’t we just talking about luggage recently? I think we were. And of course the age-old dilemma is how to get the luggage you need without, you know, spending the money you need for the actual travel.
Today (March 31st, 2010, ohmygoshwheredidMarchgo?) only, Kohls has all luggage at least half off, and that means it’s the right time to finally replace Ye Olde College Duffel.
Shipping is automatically free on orders of $75+, and Kohls card holders can use coupon code GRAND15 for an additional 15% off. No Kohls card? Use code NEW6381 for 10% extra off, anyway.
The icing on the cake? It’s Kohls Cash time, so you’ll also get $10 back for future purchases on every $50 you spend. You can use it next month to buy yourself a cute outfit for that trip. Just a suggestion.
While I virtuously eat a grapefruit
Have I mentioned this whole healthy-eating thing I’ve been doing? Yes? Six or seven hundred times? Good thing I’m not bitter about it, or anything. Ahem.
So, sure, I personally won’t be indulging in today’s Amazon Gold Box Deal, which happens to be your choice of four different decadent flavors of Ghirardelli Chocolate Squares, but maybe you would be interested, particularly if today is the last day of your free Prime trial (it is for me) and the Easter Bunny has refined taste.
6 bags of Ghirardelli squares for $14.50. It’s like Amazon is mocking me.
That’s a lotta wipes
Need baby wipes? Amazon has 6 tubs of Pampers Clean ‘n Go Baby Wipes available for just $11.49, which is a mere $.03/wipe—just make sure you select Amazon from the “More Buying Choices” box down on the lower right of the page (it’s currently defaulting to Target).
Looks like it doesn’t ship for a couple of weeks, but if you use wipes, it may be worth the wait. (Heck, I still use wipes. My “baby” is 10.) (Um, just to be clear, we use them to clean up hands and faces and stuff. Not for anything else. Heh.)
On a beachy chair built for two
It’s true that I’m dreaming of lazy summer days, but even given my bias, I’m pretty sure there’s no denying the utter cuteness (not to mention utilitarianism) of this beach chair and umbrella set for two at Brylane Home. It’s two chairs, a cooler/tabletop, and an umbrella to keep you cool, and it’s marked down to just $40. Add coupon code BHKPX20 for an additional 20% off to get another $8 taken off, which nearly handles the shipping ($9).
I’m thinking that’d be a mighty nice Father’s Day gift. Or a mighty nice “despite these crazy children surrounding us and demanding food, clothing, shelter, and attention, you’re still the only one I want to sit with” gift.
It almost makes me want to quilt
I am not a quilter, or a crafter, or a scrapper. I only craft things which involve words or food, and everything else is just not part of my domain.
But I start poking around at fabric.com and I find myself wondering if it’s too late to learn how to sew. Because some of their stuff is just really, really cute.
Check out the clearance—there’s fabrics as low as $1.99/yard, and coupon code 2WMYP9 will give you an extra 25% off! (I spy with my little eye some Olivia the Pig fabric that made my ovaries hurt. And I don’t even have ovaries anymore. Ow.)
It’s like coupon roulette
Did you know that the “coupon book” in the middle of your Amazon Grocery Page isn’t static? That is to say, if you load that page and none of the coupons appeal to you, refreshing will bring up different coupons!
I refreshed three or four times today, for example, because it offered me a coupon for $3 off of Align Probiotics (which is actually something we use, and is pretty pricey). It turns out that right now the Align 28-count box is already marked down, plus it drops to just $16.95 when you buy via Subscribe & Save, plus I now get $3 off thanks to my coupon.
Total cost from Amazon: $13.95 to my door.
Total cost from my local grocery store: $28, plus I have to drive there and probably listen to either a long story about Bakugan or some involved he-likes-her-but-she-likes-this-other-guy story. I’d say my choice is pretty clear.
Remember, if you don’t see coupons you like, refresh, refresh again!
Minty fresh
Did you know that Burt’s Bees makes toothpaste? They do, and—like all Burt’s Bees products—it’s made from gentle, natural ingredients. If you go fill out a little form for them you can get either a free sample or a coupon for $1 off a full-size tube. (It signs you up for their newsletter, so either use your handy-dandy junk email address for just that purpose, or unsubscribe later.)
I’m still looking for one flavored with so-irresistible-the-kids-will-beg-to-brush, but I guess mint, orange and berry are a little easier to distill. Hmph.
Shoes, glorious shoes
One of the featured deal categories at 6pm.com today is kids’ athletics for under $25. And you know how I like it when I can do my shopping under the guise of “for the kids” and then, of course, as long as I’m already paying shipping, maybe just a little something for me….
What? The kids need shoes, man.
A reluctant addict
Oh Lands’ End, I can’t stay mad at you, even though you unceremoniously booted all “bargain bloggers” from your affiliate program. Your classic styles, your plethora of slim-size pants, and—perhaps above all—your abundant free shipping codes keep me coming back for more.
You win for now, Lands’ End.
(Use coupon code PATIO with PIN 2129 for free shipping through the end of March. But just do me a favor and grumble under your breath, just a little, while you shop.)
Prepare to be mad or glad
No, I’m not about to offer you green eggs and ham, I’m about to tell you that I know I just posted a Coldwater Creek 50% off deal just a few days ago, and it probably seems weird that I’m posting another one.
… so if you already placed an order, you might be feeling mad.
… but if you procrastinated, prepare to feel extremely glad, because now instead of everything being 50% off, everything is 70% off with coupon code AFLA187 through April 1st, 2010. (Of course, it looks like they purged a lot of stuff from the Outlet prior to the sale. But still.)
If you ordered last week, take solace in the notion that whatever you ordered probably isn’t available anymore. And also that the people in charge of issuing the coupons are probably ugly and their mothers dress them funny.
