The cutest (and cheapest) Clarisonics ever
I own one of the original Clarisonics and it’s sort of amazing. My skin is very finicky (I’m oily! I’m dry! I’m both old and wrinkly and I have acne!) and it has helped calm my face down considerably, even though I’ll admit that initially the idea of using a circulating brush on my face was a little terrifying.
Anyway. This isn’t about me, this is about you, or—more precisely—about your opportunity to get your very own unit in a super-cute print for 40% off. How, you ask? Just hop on over to the Clarisonic site and search on final40 to see the assortment of Mia 2 kits which are available for 40% off, today (with FINAL40 coupon code). Sure, you can go for a color or an ikat pattern, but holy heck that Keith Haring Pop Edition is the cutest thing I’ve ever seen.
Shipping is free. Check out the reviews on the Mia 2 on Amazon (as well as the never-budging $149 price tag) to make yourself feel really swell about scoring a fancy one for just under $90.
Free shipping’s back (today only)
Hey, remember when shipping was always free at 6pm.com? I do, but barely. It was a long time ago. Eagle-eyed reader Sherri pointed out to me that they’re doing free shipping today (Thursday, June 23rd) only, for some reason.
What a wonderful excuse to get a new pair of shoes, amirite? Or clothing or other stuff. I don’t judge. (If you’ve never shopped 6pm—and I don’t know how that would be possible, but just in case—this is Zappos’ outlet site. They pretty much have shoes and everything else, too.) They’ve got sales going as well as “hourly steals” today, plus their regular closeout pricing. And now, free shipping. Thanks, Sherri!
A peek into my actual life
Me: Should I buy this 6-pack of laundry baskets for $25?
Husband: Do we need 6 laundry baskets?
Me: Um. Well. We can use them to move the kids into their dorms, and then leave them each one and bring the extras home and use them for other stuff.
Husband: Is that a good price?
Me: Yeah, it’s the lowest price ever. They’re Sterilite, good handles.
Husband: Sure, we’ll figure out what to do with them.
(Notice that nowhere in that conversation did I remind my husband that we already own five other laundry baskets. These are different. These ones are square. Shhhhh.)
It’s a Wootiful day in the neighborhood
Are you ready for a Woot-Off? Because I am. I mean, sure, I’m always ready for a Woot-Off, but whatever.
They’re Wooting Off all day at Woot, Home.Woot, Electronics.Woot, Computers.Woot, Tools.Woot, Sport.Woot, Kids.Woot, Shirt.Woot, Accessories.Woot, and Wine.Woot (motto: piquant, with a soupçon of things which have nothing whatsoever to do with wine, actually).
Spend your day checking out the rotating deals, and pay just one $5 shipping fee no matter how much you end up buying for the entire day. I’m not saying I’m going to spend the whole day buying cool t-shirts for my family… but… I’m not not saying that, either. Ahem.
Heads up, Kindle users
So, if you’ve been buying Kindle books at Amazon over the last few years, today may be a fun day for you: Apple just settled an antitrust lawsuit via refunds to Amazon customers who bought relevant Kindle titles.
How do you know if you got some money? Go check your Amazon gift card balance to see if you’ve got credit. If you’re a big Kindle purchaser, chances are excellent you’ve now got money to spend (and it needn’t be on books).
Enjoy!
Make your laundry better with balls
I go back and forth on the notion of wool dryer balls. On the one hand, my inner 10-year-old thinks it’s fun to say, and it’s certainly an environmentally-friendly option and I know a lot of people who swear by them. On the other hand, I keep thinking I’ll end up losing them or I’ll miss the bit of fresh scent I get from a dryer sheet. So I waffle.
Right now, this 6-pack of XL wool dryer balls at Amazon is marked at $18.95, but coupon code SMART900 takes another $7 off, which means if you have Prime, you’re getting them for $11.95 shipped. They supposedly soften/fluff your clothes and reduce static just as well as dryer sheets, only they last forever (okay, maybe not forever, but a long time). At this price, I may give ’em a try.
Stock up, score points with your tween/teen
Whether you’re redoing your tween’s bedroom or getting ready to send your newly-minted adult off to the dorm, there’s a little something for everyone at PB Teen, although the prices usually make me feel a little faint. During a sale, though, good luck holding me back. Right now they’ve got tons of markdowns, plus many items have free shipping, plus you can use coupon code FRIEND20 for another 20% off. (Alternatively, use coupon code FREESHIP for free shipping on any order.)
Grab backpacks and lunch bags for the coming year, or bedding, or any other number of room accoutrements. Just look for the intersection between items on sale and items with free shipping. And try not to snicker too much over things like $15 locker shelves. (When I was a kid, we propped up a piece of scrap wood with a textbook, and we liked it. Hmph.) I’m seeing duvet covers at what I would consider Walmart prices, only it’s Pottery Barn. Crazy. I mean, I know I said I was finished dorm shopping, but…
Blasts from the past, blowout-sale style
If you’re the sort of person who stocks up during the Bath & Body Works Semi-Annual Sale—and I’m not saying I am; pay no attention to that pile of body creams behind me—now’s the time to stock up and indulge your nostalgia. They not only put the entire store on sale, they brought back a bunch of favorite fragrances from years past. Most items are buy 2, get 1 free (good) and buy 3, get 2 free (better).
I’m a fool for brown sugar and fig, personally, but I do remember when cucumber melon was the “in” thing, because I’m pretty old (as my kids like to tell me).
Unfortunately, there’s no free shipping option this time ’round; shipping is a flat $9.99 (yikes) on orders under $10, but a flat $5.99 (more manageable) on orders over $10. Fortunately, you can also use coupon code DISCOVER20 for another 20% off (some exclusions apply), so you can likely recoup your shipping costs, that way.
Just a friendly reminder, here on the first official day of summer: Buy and save now, stuff stockings later. You’re welcome.
Score one-day-only Kohls mystery savings
This post is sponsored by Savings.com. As always, all opinions are my own.
I don’t think it’s any secret that I have a small Kohls shopping addiction. Hey, as addictions go, it’s hardly even a vice. They carry just about anything I might want for my family or my home, plus between the deals and coupons and the Kohls Cash, I’m saving a bundle.
Today (Sunday, June 19th, 2016; happy Father’s Day!) is about to get a whole lot better for you and for me, because Kohls is doing a one-day-only mystery savings event, and with the help of Savings.com I’m here to help you justify your shopping. All you have to do is visit the mystery coupon generator and take it from there. There are 30,000 unique codes available: 7,500 people will receive 20% off, 19,500 people will receive 30% off, and 3,000 lucky shoppers will receive 40% off. The only catch is that the codes are only good today—they expire at 11:59 Central Time tonight.
Now, you can use your code to buy absolutely anything you want on the site, but I have a couple of suggestions because 1) I always have suggestions and 2) you know the only thing I like better than a discount is stacking discounts for a crazy good deal.
First suggestion: I actually bought this Pet Spaces Cuddler bed a couple of weeks ago because it was marked so far down (c’mon, $10 before coupons, from $40? no-brainer), and also because my the last time I tried to buy a new bed for Duncan (because his is in tatters), Licorice promptly commandeered it because she’s a jerk. That bed she stole was kind of expensive, too, because she’s a jerk with excellent taste. So I ordered this one, instead, mostly because it was ridiculously cheap (I had a 30% off coupon, so it was under $8) and it is now the nicest dog bed we own—super plush and comfy, and now at night when I tell Duncan to go to bed, he doesn’t even bother begging to get into bed with us, he goes straight to his bed and curls up. Magic! I’m buying two more of these, just to have as backups. Or maybe I’ll buy a bunch and give some to the rescue where we got Licorice. At this price (and with the extra savings, too), I can be generous.
Second suggestion: I know I’ve hardly mentioned (hahahahaaaaaaa) that my oldest is leaving for college soon, but we’ve started looking into closet organization stuff because she will be sharing a closet with her roommate. Enter the neatfreak closetMax system—pretty much anything she could possibly want, nice and sturdy, and prices that don’t make me choke. (We’ve already purchased the 6-shelf organizer, but I think with the coupon I may go back for the 4-cubby organizer with hanging bar. Girlfriend has a lot of stuff.) Or… maybe I just start shopping for my other kid. Sure, I have a year, but… a deal’s a deal….
In conclusion, I shop too much at Kohls, and if you do, too, go grab your coupon and buy yourself (or your pet, or your kid) something pretty.
Stock up on bras!
The weekend sale is gearing up at Macy’s, and that means web busters galore, including this blowout bras special where buying 2 or more from their vast assortment brings the price down to just $9.99 apiece. Buy 3 or more and your total will be over the $25 needed for free shipping on your order.
There’s plenty of other awesome discounts to be had, too, but the bras thing stood out to me, because anyone with breasts is aware that bras are pretty much the most expensive piece of essential clothing we’re expected to buy. So.
