More babies on sale
Check out today’s Target Daily Deals for some sweet deals for babies, and also for the link to Baby Sale that starts today.
You know, so that you’ll have plenty of babies to use the gear you get from the Daily Deals….
(Why no, that joke never does get old.)
Slain by cuteness
Do you think I could convince my nearly-teenager to take this adorable American Tourister 2-piece children’s luggage set on our next trip? I mean, sure, the mini-backpack would be a little small on her, and the ladybug pattern may be a bit too cutesy for her oh-so-grown-up self, but the cuteness, oh the cuteness, and just $25 shipped….
Okay, maybe not.
Oh, wait. They also have the tiger and penguin versions for just $30 shipped. Maybe I can talk my son into one of those…?
(Man, having kids old enough to have their own opinions isn’t nearly as much fun.)
Don’t forget to Get More!
Welcome to February! (Honestly, how did that happen?) Discover Card users—it’s time to sign up for next quarter’s Get More Bonus! Sign up now to get 5% back on your purchases at grocery and drug stores from March 1st – May 31st, 2010.
I did notice they seem to have lowered the cap—you only get the additional bonus on the first $200 worth of eligible purchases (which for me is maybe a trip and a half to the grocery store)—but free money is free money. Don’t miss out just because you forgot to sign up.
Extra savings for the weekend
I braved the elements today (sounds very heroic of me, doesn’t it? It was drizzling out!) to go shopping at an actual store, and I found absolutely nothing I needed. Alas.
Of course, then I came home and was delighted to discover that through Monday, clearance clothing at Amazon is an extra 20% off at checkout, automatically. There’s quite a lot to wade through, but if you have a bit of patience for it, there’s a lot of incredibly markdowns to be had.
It just goes to show that I really never need to leave the house to get my bargain fix.
Saturday deals
Gooooood morning! Some of you know we’ve been battling a stray cat issue in my neighborhood, and so I am totally biting my tongue when I tell you that today’s Amazon Gold Box contains discounts on Friskies cat good. (I’ll just say this: Please don’t bring it near my house. Thanks.)
And I can’t remember if I highlighted this one before, but even if I did, it ends January 31st (tomorrow) so it’s worth another mention: Shop eligible Mrs. May’s snacks at Amazon right now and save 35%; take off 20% with code MAYS7438, and save another 15% and get free shipping with Subscribe & Save. The Trio bars are my favorite snack ever—high in protein and “good” fats, gluten-free, and yummy. I think I’m going to try one of the nut dry-roasted mixes, this time.
6pm.com has some great deals this weekend—lots of “gifts for guys” options (Valentine’s Day is coming up, you know!) as well as 75% off RSVP, which includes a ton of really cute boots.
Speaking of Valentine’s Day… the Target Daily Deals have more baby stuff, today, but they also have a cute heart-shaped photo frame for $11 shipped (less with coupon code URTYJLI8!) that could be the start of the perfect gift.
Today (January 30th, 2010) only, save 15% off everything in the Kohls Valentine’s Day Gift Shop; just use coupon code LUV15OFF. Today’s the last day to use code FREE2U for free shipping on your $75+ order, too.
I’m going to go get some other stuff done, but I think I’ll be back in a bit with a contest for the weekend. It seems like we haven’t had one in a while, so let’s fix that.
You’re bumming me out, Friday
I’m beginning to wonder if Amazon is planning to phase out their Friday Sale. Seems like it’s been shrinking and shrinking the last few weeks, doesn’t it? Alas. I shall persevere until the last cookware set has been offered, however! Because of my stick-to-it-iveness! And also because I’m a slow learner!
If you admire this pair of swoopy stoneware Rachael Ray stoneware roasters, both blue and orange are marked down 25% today. I have to admit that I thought they were sort of dumb, the first time I saw them, but they’ve grown on me.
Do you do haircuts for the family at home? (You should; it’s easy enough to learn, and saves a ton of money… which you can then spend on your hair. Ahem.) I always recommend Wahl for a good set of clippers, and now I’m experiencing a bit of lust for this lithium ion cordless Wahl set. Everything you need for haircuts, beard trimming, etc., with cord-free convenience. At $29, use it for two haircuts at home instead of the cheapie hair place and it just paid for itself.
If you haven’t jumped on the Blu-ray bandwagon, yet, today’s Gold Box Deal is a Sylvania Blu-ray player for just $90—looks like it has good reviews.
And of course there’s still over 800 MP3 albums available for just $5 each, so even when the Friday sale makes you yawn, you can still fill your iPod with tunes on the cheap.
Checking in elsewhere, let’s see what we do see….
Thinking Valentine’s Day? Overstock.com has you covered, with a huge array of items guaranteed to arrive on time. (Did you know they also do flowers? They do! I don’t know that the prices are significantly better than floral outlets on the flowers themselves, but only paying $3 for delivery is surely an improvement.)
The Target Daily Deals are spotlighting a leather club chair for just $170 shipped, and with coupon code URTYJLI8 for that extra 10% off it’ll be just $153 to your door. (I just typed “my door,” just now. Freudian, much? I really like that chair. I may need one for my office.)
6pm.com is killing me, people. Killing me. Charles David shoes for 75% off? Must. Not. Look. Uh, but you can go ahead and look.
That should keep you out of trouble for a little while, anyway. But as my son says, let us all make angry eyes at Amazon for a little while to make ourselves feel better.
Yep, doorbusters in January
Got the the-holidays-are-over shopping blues? Don’t worry—Fashion Bug has decided to bust out some doorbusters to perk up your January. You’ll see the links at the bottom of their splash page, there, and they’ll take you to things like bras that start at $8, tops and sweaters starting at $10, and more.
Also—and I say this as someone who rarely shops at Fashion Bug—how cute are those little ruffle flats on the main page there? They’re just $14 and come in three different colors. (And to everyone following that “where do you get shoes in larger sizes?” post from earlier? They go up to size 12!)
Make it better with a coupon: Code 776317000 will give you 15% off your entire order, while code 776317208 will take $25 off your $75+ order.
New reductions, groovy new styles
The Monster Sale over at Children’s Place has had a new round of markdowns, with styles starting at just $1.99 apiece, now. And although I never pay regular price over there (obviously), I’m kind of digging the proliferation of tie-dye in the new Spring line. Very groovy.
Don’t forget coupon code C99AA for an additional 15% off—that’s valid through February 7th, 2010.
I think my favorite things are the sparkly high-topped sneakers. Because no toddler should be without ’em. (Hey, never let it be said that TCP doesn’t meet your every children’s fashion need, real or imagined!)
It’s good to be the baby
Yep, today’s an excellent day to be a baby—the Target Daily Deals are all for little ones, and if you’re in need of a stroller or a super-cute set of crib bedding (vintage airplanes! so sweet!), they’re not only marked down, they ship for free.
Coupon code URTYJLI8 seems to still be working for an additional 10% off, too, so don’t forget to save a few extra bucks.
Start the day with shoes
Ooooh, there’s some cute goodies over at 6pm.com today—$13 Pro-Keds, adorable ballet flats by Laundry for just $17, 60%+ off Asics, and more. (Insert standard “6pm, I wish I could quit you!” line here.)
Furthermore, if you’ve been looking for a deal on big furry boots? (Okay, there’s probably a more correct term for those….) Today’s Amazon Gold Box deal is the EMU Australia Hip Button Boot for just $40 in your choice of four colors. I have to admit… if I still lived up north, I think I’d get a pair. Kind of hard to justify it down here, though I’ve noticed that hasn’t stopped any of the local college kids….
[Edited to add: Today’s deal apparently also includes the Hip Boot (it has a tie instead of buttons), but for some reason I’m not seeing it directly through the Gold Box. That one’s $40 too, though.]
