Score the deals now, be warm later
I know winter seems impossibly far away, but it’ll be back before you know it. Good thing there are some crazy-good deals happening at Finish Line right now on things like fleece. If you’re willing to think about shopping for later when it’s a billion degrees outside, victory can be yours.
Just for example, this North Face zip Glacier Trail jacket for men is marked down to just $34.99. I’m not entirely sure what the big deal about North Face is, but even here in the south that seems to still be the hallmark of “cool” among my teens and their friends. And of course it wears like iron and last forever, so there’s that, too.
If shipping to your local store for pickup is available, that’s free; otherwise, you’ll pay $6.99 to ship your first item and another $2.99 for each additional one. (You know how I feel about paying for shipping, but the prices here are so ridiculously low I will give them a pass.) Buy now, celebrate later.
Because you only get one set of teeth
Every time I go to the dentist for a cleaning, he both compliments me on the excellent state of my teeth and tries to sell me an overpriced sonic toothbrush. Um. Thanks? But no thanks. Why would I buy a supposed top-of-the-line model (complete with the dentist’s mark-up!) when I could get something like this highly-rated Oral-B Vitality Floss Action Rechargeable toothbrush, instead, for under $15? It’s currently marked down to $19.96 and there’s an available $5 coupon to clip. (You can also snag this 3-pack of replacement heads with an available $3 coupon to clip, and if you buy via Subscribe & Save you could end up paying as little as about $11 for ’em.)
At this price, it’s a no-brainer. And based on the reviews, I don’t think you’re getting an additional $100+ of “extra” on a more expensive model. But hey, if you want to spend more, I certainly can’t stop you.
[Edited to add: One coupon use per account. If you have two kids, like I do, text your spouse “please go clip this coupon and buy one of these.” Mine didn’t even ask why, which is a sign of a perfect marriage, obviously.]
Make a summer splash at Stride Rite today
Do you love Stride Rite shoes for the kids, but are significantly less jazzed by their regular prices? That’s okay, you just have to strike while the iron is hot (translation: when there’s a sale). Like today! Today only (Tuesday, June 14th), they’ve marked down most of their hottest in-season styles by 30%, which means you can pick up those great-fitting, great-supporting styles your kids love, at a price you can stomach. No need to wait for off-season clearance, which is good, because my kids always loved to grow several shoe sizes overnight when I didn’t have any bigger shoes lying around for them. Maybe yours are a bit more considerate, but I doubt it.
Shipping is free if you’re a member of their Rewards program (free to join); otherwise, spend $75+ to get free shipping.
Yeah, Baby(daddy)
You know, Father’s Day is coming up. And is there a trio of movies more dad-humored than the Austin Powers films? I think not. So go ahead and scoop up this Austin Powers Triple Feature Blu-ray set at Amazon for just $9, and allow that special dad in your life to kick back with three of the most ridiculous movies out there.
Really, the only more “dad” movies out there than these are the Airplane ones, but these are a very close second.
Yet another time to get your Kohls on
If you were to ask me if it’s a scam, this whole thing where you keep earning Kohls Cash and then spending it and getting more—wedging you into the endless loop of Kohls shopping—I would say that it might be, sure, but have you seen how much you can save??
I just spent my Kohls Cash from the last round, seems like, and here they are letting you earn more, plus there’s the latest round of coupons. So: shop now, cardholders can use coupon code BBQ30 for 30% off and JUNESHIP for free shipping, plus if you’re spending $40+ on something they’d consider a Father’s Day purchase, everyone can use code DADSDAY10 for another $10 off.
There’s Bonus Buys and sales and in case you’re wondering, they have about eighty gajillion different “hang this shelving unit thingie in your closet” options, which is how my Kohls Cash got spent after a heated argument lively discussion with my soon-to-depart college freshman. Ahem.
If you love Marimekko…
… then chances are that you were thrilled about the whole Marimekko collection that came to Target, although maybe slightly less thrilled about the fact that then hordes of people commenced buying everything to sell on eBay.
Well, if you love both Marimekko and bocce—or if you need to buy a wedding/house gift, maybe?—you may be excited to see that right now this Marimekko bocce set is clearanced at $29.98 (down from $100, which is nutso) and you can snag one with free shipping. I don’t know why anyone would care if the bag has a pretty pattern, but maybe you do. Or someone you need a gift for does. I don’t know your life.
It’s my favorite way to Get More
If you have a Discover card, don’t forget to check out your quarterly opportunity to Get More—every three months you can activate an added Cashback Bonus on certain categories. Signups for July – September are now open, and you’ll earn 5% on up to $1,500 worth of purchases at Home Improvement stores and Amazon.
Extra cashback at Amazon?? If I’m dreaming, don’t wake me up.
Heads up, preppy people
Here’s another good clothing sale, though it’s not for me. Today at J.Crew you can take an extra 30% off anything and an additional 50% off Final Sale items with coupon code GETSHOPPING. Shipping is a flat $5/order, or free on $150+.
Shop the “Factory” items and you can take 30% off and get free shipping with code CUTESALE.
And don’t get me wrong—I actually love a lot of their stuff. It just rarely fits me. I suspect you have to be built like a model (or maybe a clothes hanger?) to wear their clothes most of the time. One notable exception: I do have a pair of J.Crew linen pants I love, scored brand-new at my local Goodwill, and probably many seasons of styling old, which means they can actually be worn by me (a woman with hips). Small victories, man.
Save big at Boden
It’s time for one of those rare coupons at Boden, which means—if you’re me—it’s time for a splurge item. Use code JZ05119C for 25% off everything except clearance, and get free shipping on any order of $49+.
I am busy drooling over their swimsuits, even though when they have a sale like this I usually get a dress or a blouse. It’s hard to go wrong no matter what you get, though.
The June Beauty Box is here!
Have you been loving these $10 beauty boxes at Target? I have! And their June box is out, available now for $10 with free shipping. It’s a $38 value and it will sell out fast, so grab it if you want one.
