Old Navy, I wish I could quit you
I’ll admit it: Although things at Old Navy annoy me on a regular basis, I keep going back for more. On the one hand: Hey, this shirt appears to be cut down to my belly button. On the other: This (appropriately-necked) t-shirt is the softest thing I’ve ever owned. On the one hand: Where are all the size 8 Slim jeans for my kid?? On the other hand: This shirt was worn every week for two years until it spontaneously combusted.
You see my dilemma.
Anyway. Today and tomorrow, order whatever you like from Old Navy and ship it for free with coupon code ONSHIPFREE. Their Stuff and Save event is happening now, too, which means you can use coupon code ONSTUFF30 for 30% off if you have one of their store credit cards.
I’m not looking. I’m not looking. Oh, who am I kidding? I’m totally looking.
Saturday deals
Happy Halloween! We have one down with a fever, here. Of course. I sense that buying a lot of clearanced Halloween candy in the name of “making it up to the child” is in my future.
In the meantime, perhaps you’d like to take a break from last-minute costume prep to do a little shopping…?
There’s an adorable little black patent evening clutch available in the Target Daily Deals for $16 shipped that would be perfect for those upcoming holiday parties. Or for your teen who has formals and such to get to.
You want shoes? Oh, baby, it’s no trick—we’ve got shoes. There’s the weekend deals at 6pm.com, including $20 for Chinese Laundry and 65% off Asics; there’s the Fall Clearance at Shoes.com, where SALE20 takes an additional 20% off sale shoes, and code FALL takes 15% off non-sale items; there’s 20% off at Shoebuy.com with coupon code TREAT; and last (but not least), the BOGO sale is back at Famous Footwear, plus coupon code PUMPKIN will give you an additional 10% off. (Shipping is a flat $6.95 on your order at 6pm, free on 3+ pairs of shoes at Famous Footwear, and always free at Shoes.com and Shoebuy.) (Phew! Shoetastic!)
As I write this, the active Lightning Deal at Amazon is a Zombie Movie DVD bundle I really want. Hee.
Have you been thinking about buying a Roku, maybe as a gift for the whole family this holiday season? (Never heard of Roku? It’s streaming movies on demand, and works with a number of services, but if you have Netflix, you can add a Roku for just the cost of the unit, and enjoy immediate access to thousands of movies and shows.) Right now they’re offering free shipping for a limited time, and they’ve just introduced a new, cheaper unit—if you don’t need HD capability, you can now buy a “standard” Roku for just $80.
Duty calls (“Mooooooom! Can you get me some juuuuuice?”), but perhaps we’ll have a contest later. Seems like a while since we had a weekend chance to win, doesn’t it?
Happy haunting, everyone!
Friday, don’t be spooky
I think last week the Amazon Friday Sale managed quite a nice recovery compared to previous lackluster weeks. Can they do it again, this week? I hope so. Otherwise, that would just be scary.
I often feel like I should contract out the coverage of the Friday Sale Home Improvement section. Because for the most part—unless it’s a tool my husband owns and I’ve seen him use—I feel like most of my commentary ends up being, “Hey, that’s a really big… thing. And it’s 63% off!” I don’t really know if the average person is in the market for, say, a joist and stud drill, y’know?
On the other hand, I feel perfectly comfortable getting excited about three purple glue sticks for under a buck. So there’s that.
I don’t think anyone here needs this, but I just want you to know that I laughed over “ferret nation” for about five minutes. Hee.
Live somewhere chilly? This is a great price on a heated mattress pad—just $57 shipped for queen size.
The Earth Pan 10-piece set is back on deep discount. I think it’s taunting me. (Oh, the agony of needing new pots but having already replaced my frying pans. Do I buy a new set? Or just replace the rest piecemeal?)
Confession: I would probably buy this flatware set purely for the caddies and tray, because I think they’re adorable.
Say you need to make coffee for a crowd. Or that you’re just really addicted to caffeine. Either way, this is the lowest price I’ve seen on this West Bend Coffee Urn ($90 shipped) in a while.
Don’t forget to check out the Gold Box today, particularly if you need seven seasons (!) worth of Tales From the Crypt. Heh. And of course this is your last chance to peruse October’s assortment of 50 MP3 albums available for just $5 each, too.
And now… I must go work on Halloween costumes. Because the only thing more important to me than pursuit of the deal is humiliating assisting my children. Have a wonderful Friday!
Haul ’em out
It’s wrong, I suppose, that I miss the days when a giant dump truck that my kid could put his own darn self into seemed like a great idea. And yet… here I am.
If you have a little one, might I suggest that Santa or an indulgent relative consider a Tonka Mighty Dump Truck, suitable for hauling, dumping, and even giving rides to siblings? Right now it’s $20 shipped at Amazon, which is about $10 cheaper than anywhere else, even if you don’t count shipping. (And I count shipping, because that sucker is over ten pounds.)
Of course, I wouldn’t recommend it if you have a rock garden, or anything. But otherwise… why not?
Gold box avoids gold teeth
Get your teeth sparkly clean with today’s Amazon Gold Box Deal—it’s an Oral-B Sonic toothbrush for $40 shipped. No fake teeth for you!
The current lightning deal is a Jabra bluetooth headset, too. The reviews are mixed but it’s only $20, so might be worth a try if you’re in the market.
My sonic toothbrush is a dinosaur that appears to be twice the size of anything currently on the market. It works fine, but I sort of feel like I’m brushing my teeth with a banana, comparatively. This deal is tempting me.
Now these are Docs I can support
Remember the $80 Dr. Martens rainboots from last week? (Here’s a hint: Ridiculous!) Well, today you can check out a variety of Docs at 6pm.com for just $25 apiece. That’s a price I can support, plus they have some very cool styles.
And, you know, not a single pair of $80 rainboots. Thank goodness.
Extra discounts, on the run
Need some new gear for your daily running routine? Or yoga? Or just sitting on the couch and thinking about how you should really get on the elliptical for a while, but a bowl of ice cream and some mindless television sounds a lot better?
Through the end of the month, ChampionUSA.com is giving an additional 20% off their apparel, automatically. And there’s a slew of sports bras already on sale, so it’s a great time to get that sort of thing if you’re so inclined.
Because a really supportive bra is always a good idea while you’re watching Top Chef.
Don’t (but do)
Have I ever told you that the ringtone on my iPhone is Weird Al Yankovic’s White and Nerdy? That pretty much sums me up.
So it should come as no surprise at all that I’m tickled that his Don’t Download This Song is available for free download today at Amazon.
Don’t do it, man.
But totally do. Ha!
My inbox runneth over. . .
… with those of you eager to let me know that they’re having their first ever Woot Off over at Kids.Woot today.
For the three of you left who didn’t already know, now you do. Cheap kids’ stuff. Woo(t)!
Checking in on the dailies
Today is turning out to be One Of Those Days, so I thought I’d give you a slew of deals to keep you busy for a while. And you know how I love those daily specials….
Today’s Amazon Gold Box Deal is a 14-movie Alfred Hitchcock collection for $54. That’s under $5/movie, and who doesn’t love old Hitchcock films?
Over in the Target Daily Deals, you can make your skin smell like cheesecake (ummm… ewww?), or get yourself a shoe shine kit.
6pm.com comes through with another insane crop of shoe deals, including a wide assortment of Romantic Soles for just $14.95 apiece.
I’m pretty sure that an awesome pair of shoes would help compensate for the fact that you smell like cheesecake. Probably.
