Smells like Teen Favorite
How much would your favorite tween or teen love today’s Amazon Gold Box deal? Let me give you a hint: So, so much. They’re offering up the Polaroid Pogo Mobile printer for just $30 shipped (it’s $50 plus shipping at Target), and it plugs into your camera or mobile phone and prints out little 2″ x 3″ pictures in under a minute. Absolutely perfect for the instant-gratification generation, and easy on your wallet.
There’s no ink required, and the paper isn’t too bad—$20 for an 80-pack. (I’m guessing as the Pogos become more popular, it’ll be easy to find it even cheaper, too.)
If I got this for my daughter, she would lose. her. mind. I’ll need a few hours to decide if I’m that nice. I might not be.
Yeah? Well, Woot Off!
No, I’m not cursing at you—I’m just letting you know that today would be a great day to spend some quality time refreshing your browser and getting an eyeful of a variety of bargains at today’s Woot Off.
For the uninitiated: Woot usually does one deal every day, but during Woot Offs it’s a rapid-fire succession of items that last only until they sell out or (I think) fifteen minutes, whichever comes first. It’s a marvelous way to lose an entire day to the pursuit of the almighty deal.
Not to mention that I’m still hoping to write for Woot someday when I grow up.
Your weekly dose of Kohls
I was just browsing over at Kohls, sucked in by the siren song of cheap prices and a large variety of items. I’m so predictable.
They’re in the middle of both an “anniversary sale” (it’s the anniversary of when they have a sale, I’m sure) and also their free shipping on $75+ promotion.
But if you have a Kohls card, you can do even better! Use coupon code thisis4free for free shipping on any size order, plus code FALL15 for another 15% off. No Kohls card? Use NEW2757 for an additional 10% off your order, anyway.
And, uh, I’m not shopping. I was just looking. For you. Because I care.
It’s another Allure box!
If you’ve never done an Allure box before, it’s basically a deal where you get a box of beauty stuff worth around $200 for about $35 shipped. Definitely a great value if you want what’s being offered, plus $5 from the sale of each box goes to charity.
Today’s box includes: Sue Devitt Eye Intensifier Pencil, Moraccanoil hair treatment, Jane Iredale cream blush, Pur Minerals lip gloss, Glowelle beauty drink supplement, Pevonia eye gel and exfoliating cleanser (pretty sure that’s two separate products, not one product that’s both an eye gel and an exfoliant, because ow), Bliss The Youth As We Know It moisturizing cream, and L’Oreal Revitalift wrinkle repair duo. $29.99 for the box, $5 shipping; $5 from each one goes towards free massage therapy for chemo patients.
Boxes go on sale at Allure at 12:01 p.m. Eastern today, and generally sell out within a few hours, so consider this your heads up and get over there to place your order early on if you want one.
Another way to be Wii active
Been looking for that Wii game that will whip you into shape? I am still recovering from a traumatic double dutch injury (ahem), but today’s Amazon Video Game Deal of the Day is EA Sports Active for the Wii for just $44 shipped.
If you’ve been considering a 30-day shred, this is built on a similar principle—30 days of 20-minute workouts. Use it with your Wii Fit balance board and proceed with having your behind kicked.
I’m actually tempted, though I feel like I need to finish honing my mad jump-roping skillz before I take on another game. Haaaaaa.
You deserve a night out
It’s that time again—time to grab a couple of dining certificates from Restaurant.com, where through September 27th, 2009, you can use code TREAT to take 70% off your purchase. That means $25 dining certificates for just $3 out of pocket, which means eating out is affordable again. Can I get an amen?
Wait. Better yet: Can I get dessert?
It’s like the League of Awesome Shoes
The last few days I haven’t been all that thrilled with 6pm.com, but today they’ve won me back—they have both Clarks and Indigo by Clarks on special. (Picture me swooning. In really cute, comfortable shoes.) There’s other goodies for today, too (hello, Unlisted!), but I think I could be quite happy with just those two….
(I am on day three of Child With High Fever. I’m allowed to get excited about shoes for a few minutes.)
Today’s a fine day for free shipping
Today (September 21st, 2009) only, Catherines is giving free shipping on every order, no code needed. Why? I have no idea. Maybe they’re just awesome that way.
Make it even better by combining it with a code! Code 777000191 will give you $10 off your $25+ order, 777000308 gives $30 off $75+, and 777000316 gives $50 off $125.
Not a plus-size, and jealous of the potential savings? Don’t be—remember that purses and jewelry and many other accessories are one-size-fits-all. Just sayin’.
It’s the little things
It’s been a while since we checked in with my awesometastic new kitchen appliances. And today I’m going to tell you some more about my new dishwasher, but first: a bit of background.
I happen to believe in every human’s inalienable rights to life, liberty, and a machine that does the dishes. I mean, I am not anti-housework, per se—I actually sort of enjoy doing the laundry, and I don’t even mind scrubbing toilets because it’s not terribly time-consuming—but dishes just seem like never-ending drudgery to me. Having a dishwasher is part of what keeps me sane. And now that my kids are old enough to help with the dishes, I still really appreciate it, because I probably wouldn’t trust them to do a decent hand-washing, but it’s hard to screw up putting plates in a rack.
The dishwasher is an Extremely Important Appliance to me, is my point. And our old dishwasher often didn’t actually get the dishes clean, so I was more than ready to fall into love with this new one. Thank goodness, I was not disappointed! read more…
Winner of the weekend Bonefish Grill contest
I want to go have a pomegranate martini with each and every one of you. Yes, you. Because you are just that awesome.
Sadly, the constraints of time, distance, and the fact that I probably shouldn’t have hundreds of martinis will make that impossible. But at least one of you will get to go to the Bonefish Grill with a $25 gift card and have a drink on me.
The random number generator has selected commenter 61, Sarah. Congratulations, Sarah—please check your email!
Big thanks to all who played, and special thanks to Bonefish Grill and their helpers at MS&L for the prize. (Seriously, was it just me, or did the comments on this contest make you incredibly hungry…? Gotta love a prize that gets folks literally salivating!)
Didn’t win this time? Buck up, Buttercup! There’s more contests on the way….
