Super Mario pays
Do you like to make sure you have the latest and greatest video games as soon as possible? I am the mean sort of mother who makes the kids wait until the games are barely cool anymore, but maybe you’re nicer than I am. Right now at Amazon if you pre-order Wii Super Mario Galaxy 2 for $50, you’ll get $20 back to spend on any other video game purchase you want. Credit is deposited into your account after the game ships, which is currently slated for release on May 23rd.
When you get to be a hero and save a bundle, that’s a good shopping day.
Say hello/goodbye to Winter
Spring has sprung, and if you enjoy Winter as much as I do (read: hardly at all), you’re probably eager to get out the shorts and bathing suits and to bid the cold good riddance. But before we do that, we’re going to scoop up all of the cold-weather clearance deals we can, right? Right!
Today all outerwear is in the spotlight over at 6pm.com. Parkas, boots… you name it, it’ll keep you warm. Don’t think about it being cold out, just think about how happy you’ll be to have everything you need next year, at a discount price.
(I find it helps if you do that shopping in a sundress. Just a suggestion.)
Jet-powered robot in disguise
I don’t know much about Transformers (except that they’re super-cool, duh, Mom), but I do know that this Jet Power Optimus Prime is currently $15 at Amazon and it’s normally more like $40. So that means he transforms into both a plane and a smoking deal, right? Right.
Peanut buttery
I know peanut butter is a dirty word (er, pair of words) in many of our schools these days thanks to the prevalence of nut allergies, but if your family eats peanut butter and is trying to stay organic/natural without sacrificing delicious, this may be of interest.
Through the end of the month, Amazon is offering special savings on Justin’s Nut Butters, which are all-organic and not only come in kid-friendly flavors like cinnamon or chocolate, but also come in handy squeeze packs for eating on the go, too.
Unfortunately, many of the options are sold out, but of what remains, it looks like everything’s already marked down by 23%. Then use coupon code JUSTIN77 to save another 20%, and buy via Subscribe & Save to get free shipping and save another 15%! So, for example, 30 portable squeeze packs of cinnamon peanut butter end up at your door for $9.69—that’s just $.32/pack.
I have a friend who keeps these in her van and tosses them at surly children when their blood sugar is low. I bow to her genius.
Ready, set, savings
Do you have a Kohls charge card? If you do, you got a flier in the mail a week or so ago with a Sooper Sekrit savings code for a promotion that starts today and runs through the end of March. I’m only allowed to share the 15% off code—please don’t share the higher ones if you got one—but if you got a better discount in the mail, have at it. If not, use your Kohls charge and save 15% online with code GRAND15 for the next week.
Shipping is automatically free on $75+. I’ve been poking around the clearance and see plenty of 90% off stragglers of winter merchandise. Limited colors/sizes, sure, but there are some goodies to be had. And I don’t know about you, but I much prefer shopping online to fighting my way through the store. This is much more peaceful.
Plus, I don’t get any disapproving looks for wearing my bathrobe. Ahem.
Hey hey, Blu-ray
Been wanting a Blu-ray player, but haven’t had the cash to drop $100+? Right now Amazon has this Sylvania Blu-ray player available for just $60 with free shipping—a good $40 cheaper than anywhere else.
It’s rated and four and a half stars with over 50 reviews, so it looks like a pretty reliable model, too.
I never really thought I’d find Blu-ray that big of a deal, but I have to confess, since we got our player I have become strangely addicted to being able to count the pores on the actors’ face. I know; I’m weird.
Time to do the happy food dance
(I seem to be awfully food-fixated today. Not sure what’s up with that.)
So you know that I’m always offering up these Restaurant.com coupons, and I go through my standard spiel about checking back because new restaurants are added all the time, blah blah blah, right? Well, today I’m extra special excited because—since the last time there was a coupon—they’ve added a slew of new restaurants in my town, including one that we can barely afford but will be visiting soon because I just snagged a $25 certificate for just $2!
That’s right, through the end of March, use coupon code COOK and land yourself $25 worth of dining for just $2 out-of-pocket. Date night is back, baby!
Chocoholics, rejoice
Okay, this is a “wow that’s a lot of candy” and also a “try at your own risk” sort of deal.
Amazon has this M&M variety pack listed as being an 8-count box of 25 packages. That’s 200 full-size packs of M&Ms. And the price is $18.15. Based upon the product info and the shipping weight, my guess is that they intend that to be the price for one box, but the item title clearly says 8 boxes. (One box comes out to around $.70/pack, whereas 8 boxes comes out to around $.09/pack.)
If you were to order this, I would suggest you do a screen capture of the product page. And then if you only receive one box, I would call customer service. I’m pretty sure they don’t take returns on food, so they’ll have to fix it some other way… my guess is they’ll refund your money. But who knows—maybe you’ll end up with a year’s supply of M&Ms.
(Don’t even ask me what you’d do with all that candy. I’m peeking at the screen through my fingers, forking the sign of the cross and eating celery.)
Get your refresh finger ready
It’s a brand new day, and a brand new Woot Off. What will they have today? How long will the amazing deals last? Nobody knows.
Well, I assume the shadow knows, but he’s not telling. You’ll just have to look for yourself.
[For those of you who are Woot Off virgins: Woot typically does one deal a day, but every now and then they cycle through a huge inventory of deals throughout the day, on a timer. Each deal lasts a maximum of half an hour, but may sell out in as little as under a minute depending on its popularity. It’s sort of like Deal Roulette. Warning: May be addictive.]
Another chance to get there easily
Don’t make me compose another poem to my GPS unit. I mean, I’ll do it, but I hate to put y’all through that. Suffice it to say that as a woman with a poor sense of direction, I am devoted to mine.
Right now Amazon has the TomTom XL 340 GPS discounted right now on one of those “show me the price in my cart” deals, and because I love to spoil the surprise I’ll just tell you that it’s coming up at just under $100. For a highly-rated GPS unit with text-to-speech that’s about as good as it gets, so it’s worth a look if you’re in the market for one.
On the other hand, if you’re one of those annoyingly perfect people with a sense of direction, nevermind. Hmph.
