Run for cheap Bakugan
Ooooh, Santa’s stuffing stocking with Bakugan Booster Packs from Amazon at just $1.99 apiece—they ship for free with Prime, or are eligible for Free Super Saver Shipping with $25+.
As usual, Amazon’s “original” price is inflated. These do not sell for $10 as they claim. But they do usually go for $5-$6.50, so $2 is still a great deal. (Maximum of three per person, per purchase.)
And have I mentioned lately how much I’m loving having Prime? So much!
With apologies to the vegetarians
Oh, how my daughter would weep if she knew I was posting this deal. Poor thing.
Hey, do you like jerky? How about teriyaki turkey jerky (can you say it five times fast)? Right now at Amazon, you can save 40% off the already-discounted price on Oberto jerky, simply by using coupon code OBERTO25 for 25% off, and then buying via Subscribe & Save for an additional 15% off and free shipping.
If I think too hard about jerky, it freaks me out. (And I say that as a confirmed omnivore.) On the other hand… I know an extremely skinny small boy who likes it, and I’m not above packing him with animal fat to beef him up a little (pun intended). So.
Draw your own conclusions. Or PETA protest signs. Either way.
A quick word about this site and the FTC
As some of you may know (and others may remain blissfully oblivious about), today (December 1st, 2009) new FTC regulations go into effect about how bloggers disclose affiliate and marketing relationships on their sites.
In the three and a half years I’ve been operating Want Not, I’ve always tried to be very clear about where prizes come from, with which stores I have an affiliate relationship, etc. But just so that there’s no confusion at all, I have a new Full Disclosure page explaining all of these things (and more). Additionally, from this point forward—as is explained on the Disclosure page—any time I link to a store where I stand to earn money through your purchase, there will be clarifying hover text informing you of that relationship.
The Disclosure page is now linked both from the top of the left sidebar, over there, as well as from the main About page.
Running Want Not is my job, but it’s also a labor of love. I’m happy to make sure that I’m in compliance with the new FTC regulations, and that my readers understand exactly how things work around here. If you (ever) have any questions, please just let me know.
P.S. You’re pretty.
The force is made of bricks
Oh, look. My son’s favorite game is on sale at Amazon—right now Lego Star Wars is just $13 for Wii, PS3, XBox, or Nintendo DS.
As someone over the age of twelve, I myself don’t understand this game at all… but I do enjoy watching the Lego pieces fly everywhere when they play.
I’m not hip enough for this
Got a cool kid? Or maybe you’re a cool kid?
I’m sort of a Lego Rock Band level of cool (read: Not Cool), and of course that’s barely on sale. But if I were cool, I would totally scoop up this DJ Hero Bundle for $85. If I were to buy that now, though, I’d probably just play with the turntable until my children—embarrassed and horrified, no doubt—begged me to stop.
It’s not easy being nerdy.
Go ahead and scribble
I know this was a Lightning Deal over the weekend (I missed it! Argh!), but right now Amazon has Scribblenauts for the DS for $19—not quite as cheap as it was before, but you don’t have to race the clock, either.
I’ve heard great things about this one being a fun game where the kids actually have to think. What a concept!
If only I had a guitar
A fresh batch of Lightning Deals just went live in the Amazon Cyber Monday section, and it includes the standalone Guitar Hero 5 software for just $30.
I’ve gotta get me a guitar, man.
A-ordering I will go
I can’t resist a deal at Crazy 8, one of my new favorite places to pick up clothes for the kiddos. Today only, they’re offering 20% off and free shipping on all orders! (Markdowns are already taken, and free shipping is automatic.)
If you prefer The Children’s Place, they’re offering free shipping on all orders today with coupon code FSCM9, and their $5, $6, $7, $8 sale is still going on.
What can I say? I’m a sucker for kids’ clothes deals. Plus I love to see the looks on their faces when they unwrap socks on Christmas morning. (Okay, I may be just a little evil.)
Better than my local drugstore
So I’m thinking to myself, “Self, what sorts of Cyber Monday deals could they possibly have at drugstore.com that would be worth it? Am I going to gift folks with hair color and antacids?”
But then I went and looked and was appropriately chided for my closed-mindedness. Turns out that they have GPS units and ripsticks and all sorts of things, at great prices for today only.
And I’m not just saying that because they have two different kinds of marshmallow shooters, either.
Cyber Monday at Disney
This is a particularly good one if you’re planning a Disney trip in the next year—why pay outrageous park prices for souvenirs when you could buy ahead and save?
Today only, shop DisneyStore.com and save up to 25% with code CYBERMONDAY (that’ll give you 10% off $59+, 15% off $79+, 20% off $99+, or 25% off $149+). You can stack that with code SHIP89 for free shipping on $89+, too.
There’s plenty already on sale, so this would be a great time to stack up the savings. (Also, if you are planning a Disney trip… take me with you?)
