Why yes, more TCP coupons
Have I mentioned lately how much I love Twitter? Because I do. You should follow me there if you don’t, already, because that’s where the magic happens. Like someone tweeting to ask me for coupons for TCP, and me seeing that and actually being able to help. Magic.
So here’s this month’s deal(s): Shop at The Children’s Place this month, and you can use coupon code HA99 for 15% off any order, or bulk up the savings by using code PDA99 for $20 off your $80+ order. Both coupons are good through the end of October, and the Fall Sale is underway and Halloween costumes are on sale, too.
Magic! I hope that helps, kacyas!
Be an ergonomic addict
I’m kind of digging today’s featured deal in the Target Daily Deals—it’s a little portable laptop table. Perfect for the internet-addict-on-the-go.
Stop looking at me like that.
Oh, Kohls
For the first time I can recall, there are no current codes for free shipping at Kohls. (I’m not positive, but I think this may be a sign of the coming Apocalypse. You might consider picking up some bottled water today, just in case.)
Nevertheless, I remain a fool for Kohls, so I figured it’s worth pointing out that today is the last day for the current “free shipping on $75+” promotion, if you’ve been meaning to shop. And furthermore, returns to the store are always free, so if you just happen to order enough to get free shipping and then happen to take the extra back to the store, well, that’s allowed. Ahem.
Coupon code NEW6956 is still working for 10% off for everyone, too.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to go finish painting my “BRING BACK FREE SHIPPING CODES” picket sign….
You may already be a winner
Do they still do the Publishers Clearing House thing? I remember being a kid and feeling a little thrill whenever that envelope declaring “You may already be a winner!” would arrive in the mail. (My mother let me fill them out for her and send them back. We may have already been winners, but we never actually, you know, won.)
Nevertheless, I still sort of love sweepstakes. Through October 14th, 2009, you can go enter to win a $500 gift card to Domestications, and while I don’t know if you may have already won, it’s not like it’s complicated to enter, or anything.
Furthermore, their Halloween stuff is already on clearance (they didn’t waste any time), and if you spend $100+, shipping is free with coupon code D9JAFFFS.
But mostly I think it’d be fun to have $500 to spend. Let me know if you win!
Sneaky superfood
In a world where real, wholesome, organic foods are expensive—and most of us are on tight budgets—I’m always looking for foods with the best nutrition to cost ratio.
My latest love is salba (yes, they’re chia seeds, as in Chia Pets), because it’s incredibly nutrient-rich and amenable to hiding in everything from fruit smoothies to muffins.
I’ve been buying the white variety, but given the excellent price on the Navitas Naturals salba currently at Amazon (just $11.50 a pound, delivered, with Subscribe & Save), I’m going to try the black ones, next. For reference: I make my kids smoothies every school morning, and our last pound of salba lasted over two months. Excellent bang for the buck, in other words.
The best part? It’s gluten-free and the ground seeds bind together in liquid—that means it makes excellent flour replacement for things like pancakes if you’re living in GF land.
Mineral-y
I am deeply suspicious of mineral make-up, because I have some mineral blush that I cannot seem to apply without ending up looking like Raggedy Ann. But I’ll admit that this may well be a personal problem. I know lots of women who love the mineral stuff, though, and to them I say: Can you show me how the heck to put this blush on?
Oh, wait. No I don’t. To them I say: Check out today’s Screaming Deal at Overstock.com, because it’s a Bare Escentuals mineral make up set for $19.99 shipped (a $45 value). It’s got pots of make up as well as some nice brushes, and I’m sure you’ll look beautiful.
I’ll just be over here in the corner with my nice, safe lip balm. I hardly ever screw that up.
Mix, match, save
Need a few emergency baby gifts for your gift closet? These SpaSilk cotton layette sets are adorable, and depending on the pattern/size combo you choose, many are around $3 each. (Free shipping with Prime, or Super Saver Shipping eligible.)
I am especially fond of the ones where the baby is thinking about being president. Then again, I tend to pretend to by my dog, talking in a squeaky voice, about how what I really want is to bite your nose off. So, you know, there’s that.
Don’t be Dopey
Gather round, young’uns. Now, back in my day, when Disney movies came out, you could buy ’em on video cassette—yes, we had VCRs, can you imagine?—and then you could buy ’em later, too. But then they started this whole “Disney Vault” thing where movies get put away for seven years at a time, and that seems decidedly unmagical to me, but I am not in charge.
Anyway, they’re just re-releasing Snow White this week, and it’s been remastered and remixed and refantastic-ed, and now you can get the 2-disc Blu-ray/DVD combo set at Amazon for just $10! It’s listed at $19.99 and coupon code snowhite will take off another $10. The best part? You only need another $5.01 worth of stuff to get free Super Saver Shipping, because that works off of your pre-coupon total.
Grab it now, before they lock it away again. Or before the price goes up.
A Monday dabble in the dailies
Consider this my gift to you, a bit of anti-Monday-ness, something to make the day seem less annoying than it actually is. Heh.
Today’s Amazon Gold Box Deal is a Sony digital picture frame for $70; looks like a popular, well-rated model.
This week at 6pm.com there’s tons of week-long specials, including big deals on Cole Haan for both men and women (love).
Target’s daily deals include a leather-bound journal, a zebra bean bag chair (how very… zoological…), and a nice-looking watch for the men, just to name a few.
It’s still expensive, and the reviews are mixed, but I challenge you find me a book geek who would not swoon over today’s Barnes & Noble Deal of the Day—it’s an American Authors chess set. The king is Mark Twain and the queen is Emily Dickinson. You can’t see me, but I’m swooning right now.
And the 10th Anniversary Celebration at Overstock continues apace, with today’s Screaming Deal being a refurbished Dyson DC14 for just $260.
If there’s not a deal there to sufficiently brighten your Monday… well… perhaps a coffee IV is in order.
Hit it out of the park
Got a sports nut kid in the family? Have a birthday party coming up and don’t want to buy the kid yet another toy? Consider a one year subscription to Sports Illustrated Kids for a cool $5. You’ll look like a big spender, plus it’s educational and stuff.
I mean, I’m pretty sure there’s no swimsuit edition in the kids’ version….
