Eat it up
It’s that time again—time for 80% off at Restaurant.com, so that eating out is affordable even on the tightest budget. Through the end of February, use coupon code SAVOR to save 80%, making those $25 dining certificates a cool $2.
Do be sure to read the fine print—each restaurant has their own rules, and most have restrictions on days of the week and minimum purchase amounts—but all in all this is a great way to save date night without emptying your bank account.
Wrapping up February
February’s almost over, you know (yeah, I can’t believe it, either), and that means you’ve got less than a week left to get in on any of this month’s Amazon Grocery Deals before they disappear. I’m just sayin’.
Of particular note, I think:
PG Tips Tea is, as many of you know, my very favorite black tea on the planet, and it’s not terribly expensive even when it’s not on sale, but right now you can save 40%! Use coupon code TIPSPG44 to take 25% off, and purchase via Subscribe and Save for another 15% off and free Super Saver Shipping. If you’re a tea drinker, this is an excellent deal on a really drinkable tea.
Similarly, it’s the last days to save 40% on eligible Kitchens of India products with 25% off coupon code GREATFD2 and the 15% off with Subscribe and Save. (I love love love Kitchens of India. Very yummy stuff.)
And finally, I cannot imagine who needs a ton of candy right now, but I don’t judge, and if your sweet tooth is still feeling unrequited, check out the sale Valentine’s candy (much of it marked down since the passing of the holiday) where coupon code VALCANDY appears to still be working for $10 off of your $59 purchase. This is actually not a bad way to stock up on more expensive chocolates if you’re so inclined.
I’m suddenly very hungry. Huh.
Talk about organized
Good morning! Thanks for your patience while I traipsed all over the globe this weekend. Or at least all over Texas. Things will be returning to normal, now, just as soon as I figure out what that is.
In the meantime, I see that today’s Target Daily Deals have a nice bedside organizer caddy available for just $9 shipped (less with 10% off coupon code URTYJLI8). I know it’s still February, but just imagine… you pick that bad boy up today, on the cheap, and come Father’s Day in June you’re sittin’ pretty. I’m just throwing it out there.
(Remember when we were kids and Father’s Day always meant a tie? And now the quintessential Father’s Day gift is something to organize Dad’s gadgets? “Here, Dad, I got you some cord hiders! I love you!” Life is weird.)
Saturday deals
Goooood morning! And thanks to you Houstonians who gave me such a warm welcome to your marvelous city. So far I find that most of Houston looks like… well, the inside of this hotel. (Darn work….) But last night I had tacos from a truck and not only were they delicious, I remembered that I was in Texas and went only for the next-hottest sauce available, which was smart, because I still haven’t regained feeling in my tongue. Whew! (You heard it here first: It’s hotter in Texas.)
Anyway, I have a few deals to keep you busy today while I finish up at this conference. And yes, there will be a contest coming up later today, and I’ll get you the winner of the last contest after I get back home.
So you have a local Auntie Anne’s pretzel place? It’s Free Pretzel Day! (I used to love these, before I stopped eating wheat. Sigh.)
All of today’s Target Daily Deals are patio furniture. I can’t help but feel that Summer may indeed be coming. Eventually. (Don’t forget code URTYJLI8 for an extra 10% off.) It looks like Amazon is having a patio furniture sale, too.
There’s tons of clothes available in this weekend’s deals at 6pm.com, for a change of pace. I mean, sure, shoes too, but I always get a little excited when I see those slashed prices on clothes.
Speaking of clothes, this weekend at Fashion Bug they’re having a Buy 2, Get the Second for $10 sale. Maybe that’s not so exciting if you’re looking at t-shirts, but dresses or pants? Could be a good deal.
There’s a huge weekend sale (surprise!) going on at Kohls, with automatic free shipping on $100+. It looks like code NEW430 is still working for 10% off for anyone, too.
Ooooh, the Fundmentals Sale is on over at Old Navy; jeans are just $19, some shirts are $5, etc. (Thanks, Mary!) I wish I had time to shop over there today….
Okay, I have to run off to do work-like things, but check back ’round lunchtime for a very cool weekend contest. I’ll give you a hint: You will like it with a goat, you will like it in a moat. (Ummm… do any of you have a goat or a moat? No? Nevermind. But you would, is my point.)
It’s even Friday in Texas
I’m sorry I abandoned you yesterday. I thought I had plenty of time and then I fell into a wormhole. True, it was a little unsettling, but then I arrived here in Houston to a room upgrade and now I am never going home, on account of my roommate and I were given an entire luxury apartment for the weekend. Please apologize to my husband and children. (Don’t worry, honey—I’ll send for the dog after the conference!)
Anyway, even though I’m away, the Amazon Friday Sale goes on.
I, however, can not go on without coffee, so rather than grumbling about how the sale has shrunk, I will leave you to investigate while I find myself a cup of wake-up. (Weekend posting should be relatively unaffected; I’ll have a batch of deals for you tomorrow morning and we have a super fun contest all ready to go for tomorrow around lunchtime, too.)
Leaving, on a jet plane
Just a little advance warning—I’m traveling today, so posting will be light this afternoon. If any of you are going to be at Mom 2.0 this weekend, please come say hi! I’ll be speaking on the Got Strategy? panel on Friday morning (uhhh… I think; I don’t seem to be on the schedule yet, as I’m a last-minute substitution for another speaker), and wandering around admiring people’s shoes the rest of the time.
Speaking of shoes… no fair that I don’t have time to properly delve into today’s deals at 6pm.com. Nike, Easy Spirit, Red Wing… oh, man! Last chance clearance on Michael Kors? Darn you, travel schedule! Hmph.
He climbs walls and does furniture
There’s a crop of great discounts today over in the Target Daily Deals, but I’m wishing I still had a little guy who was superhero-crazy, because they’ve got a kid-sized Spiderman table and chairs set for just $15 shipped.
If I bought that for my son now, there would be much eye-rolling. Because he’s too big for such childish things, I guess. I just… ummm… hang on, there’s something in my eye….
(Coupon code URTYJLI8 is still working for 10% off, too.)
Tip: Stay out of McGregor’s garden
Still rocking that awesome Amazon Prime free trial, and need to either find a baby shower gift or replenish your gift closet? Check out this adorable Peter Rabbit boxed set, currently just $6.50 shipped and Prime eligible (or buy a bunch and get free Super Saver Shipping).
Just don’t go reading them and expecting that Peter will actually get some sense into his head and stop risking his life for a couple of carrots. Never gonna happen.
[Edited to add: This disappeared the minute after I posted. I hate that!]
OMG, let’s talk in text-speak!
For those of you who may have been on the fence about this deal on a Kotex starter kit I posted about a week ago, I wanted to let you know that we received ours (that was fast!) and it comes with a $1 off coupon, so for a net cost of $2 I think it was probably worth it. The little pouch is very cute.
And the booklet labeled “OMG… Your First Period” is a great conversation starter if you want your daughter to laugh hysterically while you try to be hip and talk in acronyms. (“OMG, I think, like, you’ve got some PMS. TTFN!”) (Okay, maybe it’s just us.)
I seriously do not remember menstruation being this amusing when I was a kid. Kids today, man. They’ve got it too easy.
Hey, that’s my lucky number
Actually, 13 is my lucky number, but after 13 my lucky number is definitely “under 25,” which (coincidentally!) happens to be the price of most of the specials today at 6pm.com. It’s like I’m being guided towards buying more shoes by the bargain gods, or something.
Check out all of the super-cute Rockport options—there’s tons of sandals for Summer (remember Summer? I hear it’s coming back someday) for under $15. Be still my painted toes!
