No shipping, thanks

Looking at something at Old Navy? Right now all orders ship free with coupon code SHIPFREE, regardless of order size.

That’ll stack with a percentage off coupon, too. Spend $75+ and use code SAVE15 for an additional 15% off, or spend $100+ and use code SAVE20 for another 20% off.

Pretty soon they’re going to start paying us to take their clothes. (Okay, maybe not… but I can dream!)

Saturday deals

Planning to do some shopping today? I’ve got you covered.

The featured Target Daily Deal is a 3-pack of LED booklights for just $12.49 shipped. Stocking stuffers!

Have you shopped Justice for the young ladies in your life, lately? I find the prices a bit on the inflated side, but with coupon code 779 you can take 40% off your entire purchase (even sale items), so for the occasional splurge item and bigtime cool-mom points, I’ll confess I do some judicious selecting, there.

Funny, I don’t think it’s too early to think about stocking stuffers, but I sort of refuse to think about Halloween. No, it’s not logical. Heh. But if you’re willing to consider it, right now you can get free shipping when you spend $59+ on Costumes & Accessories at DisneyStore.com. Just use coupon code COSTUME this weekend.

Today’s another Macy’s One Day Sale, with 40% off things like blenders and food processors (among other things). I spotted a few good deals there.

For a limited time, Fashion Bug is offering an additional 40% off clearance merchandise. That means clearance items are up to 70% off, plus you can use coupon code 776294704 for an additional 20% off, or code 776276701 for free shipping on your $75+ order.

Bare Necessities now has a special Outlet Section with savings starting at 40% off retail. Spend $50+ and you’ll get free shipping automatically, too.

And the current Lightning Deal at Amazon is a price break on one of those mosquito elimination systems that hardly ever go on sale. It’s a pricey item, but if you’ve been in the market for one, this may be cheaper than you’ll find it elsewhere. (Of course, Lightning Deals go quick, so get on over there if you’re interested.)

Will there be a contest later? Oh, I think there will. Check back!

Friday gets fancy

I got all excited this morning when I clicked over to the Amazon Friday Sale and saw an entire section for electronics. What would they have? GPS units, MP3 players… computers?? But alas, it was merely a short page of digital photo frames. Which is fine, if you’re in the market for a frame, I guess. Still. I maintained high hopes for something out of the ordinary elsewhere in the sale….

Well, here’s a deal worth getting excited about: These Helly Hansen boots are as low as about $40 shipped, down from over $100. I live on the surface of the sun and have no need for such things, but maybe you do.

Ooooh, you know I love it when the professional level KitchenAid mixer is on sale. $320 shipped is a great deal on that, plus there’s an available $40 rebate. Rowr. Gotta love it in red, too—doesn’t it make you want to go bake a dozen loaves of bread?? (Okay, maybe that’s just me.) (And no, I can’t actually eat the bread anymore, so I’m aware that’s a little weird….)

Um. Here’s where I realized the Friday Sale may officially be too fancy for me. I mean, I am never going to spend $100 (on sale) for a dog bed, designer or no, but if that’s your thing, bless you and your pampered pooch.

And then you could make your homemade gourmet dog food in your new Calphalon stock pot. Or just make soup in there, or whatever. Hard to beat $55 for a 12-quart Calphalon.

There’s tons of Kitchens of India markdowns in the grocery section, but everyone I know agrees that the butter chicken curry is the favorite, hands down. Buy it with Subscribe & Save and you’ll get 6 packets for $7.65 (and free shipping), and if you know a cheaper way to stock up on those, I’d love to hear it.

Today’s Gold Box Deal is Norton 360 3.0 on the cheap, so if you don’t have a Mac (sorry, couldn’t resist) and need protection for your computer, that’s worth checking out.

And last—but not least—don’t forget that there are 50 MP3 albums downloads for just $5 each available, so if you want to beef up your music collection, that’s a great way to do it on the cheap.

You know, I’m going to spend the entire day today wondering what sort of dog deserves a $100 cushion to sleep on. I can’t help it. There goes my day….

In the market for appliances?

Lovely Christine writes:

My husband and I just bought a condo, and we knew that eventually we’d be replacing appliances, it turns out that for the washing machine eventually means sooner rather than later. Since the dryer is just as old, we figured that we’d just get a matching set and replace them both. The trick is, though, that the need to be stackable (but it seems like a lot more models are stackable now!).

It seems like Home Depot and Sears are always having deals for 10% or so off, which is great and all, but is that the best I can do? Are there magic tricks for getting good appliances for less money?

Up until today, my advice was going to be only: Fill out the “just moved” Lowes/Home Depot cards to get your 10% off coupon, or shop scratch-n-dent, or keep an eye on the Sears flyer. But then I read that government appliance rebates are coming, so now my advice is this: Wait a little bit, if you can. The new programs are expected to go into effect before the end of the year, and could mean big savings.

Dabble in the dailies

What’s out there for daily deals, today? I’m glad you asked!

Today’s Amazon Gold Box deal is a Toshiba LCD TV with DVD player for $200 shipped. Perfect for a dorm room, or maybe a kid’s bedroom if you’re a nicer mom than I am.

The Target Daily Deals today include a deluxe poker set for $20 shipped (80% off!), iPod speakers, and a few other goodies.

6pm.com is sporting some of the usual shoe deals, as well as Baby Phat sunglasses for just under $15. (How much do I hate that name? So much. But some of their frames are kind of cute.) (Also, the price isn’t coming up correctly for me just yet. My guess is they’ll have that fixed shortly.)

By the way, remember the robot lamps? I now officially pink puffy heart the Target Daily Deal. We got ours and they’re adorable.

Don’t lie like a rug, buy a rug you like

It’s time for another rug overstock sale at Home Decorators Outlet! I love their rugs—you won’t find prices like this on hand-loomed wool rugs anywhere else. I honestly have no idea how they make any money.

There’s plenty of other great home goods on sale, as well, and through September 9th, 2009, you can use coupon code 8601773 to take $10 off your $50+ order.

I don’t need anything so I’m not looking. But maybe you need something, so you go buy something pretty and I’ll live vicariously through you, mmkay?

Order some pictures, already

I love the “digital age” as much as the next person, but for some strange reason my kids’ grandparents aren’t impressed with all the photos of my precious offspring which we lovingly store… on the computer. They want actual prints. (Luddites, all of them!) And I feel like ordering actual prints is laborious; not because it actually is, but because I’m incredibly lazy.

Today (Thursday, August 20th, 2009) only, you can order 20 free prints from Walgreens with coupon code 20FREE4ME. It’s fast, it’s easy, and—yeah, baby—it’s free.

And it’ll make the grandparents happy.

Cheap kitchen electrics

If you’re in need of a cheapie common kitchen electric—think toaster, coffeemaker, popcorn popper, or crock pot—check out Kohls today. They’ve got six different items marked down to just $19.99, and available with a $10 mail-in rebate for each one (download this rebate form if you purchase).

Got a Kohls charge card? Use code AUGUST15 for an additional 15% off, plus code MVC8404 for free shipping.

There’s Kohls Cash happening right now, too—$10 for every $50 spent. Just sayin’.

The last carseat you’ll need

I didn’t love my kids enough to buy them Britax carseats*, but I hear they’re the best of the best. And I particularly like how they’re larger than just about any other brand on the market, meaning they accommodate heavier/taller kids for longer times. I think the guideline is a booster seat all the way up to 4’9″ and 75 pounds, or something, in which case my middle schooler should still be in a booster, but I still don’t love her enough** to make her sit in one.

Anyway, Amazon currently has the Britax Regent Youth Seat on sale for $180 shipped, which is still a crazy amount of money, but also the cheapest I’ve seen that one in a while. It works from 22 to 80 pounds, and is made of kryptonite***. Impressive!

*Not entirely true. I love them bunches, I am just cheap. As we’ve established.
**I’m pretty sure forcing a 6th-grader to sit in a booster is considered child abuse in some states.
***It is not made of kryptonite. Though I think that would be cool, and also justify the cost a bit better.

Suit up

Does your favorite guy need a suit or just some clothing a little nicer than a pair of jeans and a t-shirt? Now’s the time to shop Jos. A. Bank—their August sale is a huge, 70% off suits event. There’s also 60% off pants and and 50% off shirts, so what are you waiting for?

Free shipping on $175+, automatically, too.
