Saturday deals
Good morning! Sorry to be late getting over here, I was busy doing… nothing. Ahhhhh.
There’s just a few days left to scoop up the savings at Old Navy; right now all adult jeans are just $19, kids jeans are just $10, and the big kids’ sale is still going on. Plus get free shipping on $50+ with code FREE50 or use code GETMORE for 10% off $75+ or 20% off $100+.
This weekend at 6pm.com enjoy deals on DKNY, Hugo Boss, Roxy, and more!
The semi-annual home sale at Macy’s is winding down this weekend, but there’s still time to use code EXTRA10 to get free shipping and an extra 10% off your $135+ purchase.
Today’s Amazon Gold Box deal is a twin-size Aerobed in its own matching backpack. Pretty slick for sleepovers or camping.
I’ll be back a little bit later with the winner of last week’s contest and a little contest for the weekend. If I don’t get busy doing nothing, again.
Friday, hit me one more time
I’m not entirely sure how I marked the end of the week before the Amazon Friday Sale came along. Perhaps there was some other, equally sacred, event? I’m not sure. But I think I like this better. Hooray for Friday!
I’m not sure if I genuinely like these shoes or if it’s just that they’re half price and I’m really, really excited for the season premiere of Mad Men in a few days.
Contrary to popular belief, a reciprocating saw doesn’t demand that you cut through something first, before it does. (Psssst—my jokes are lame, but under $80 shipped for a DeWalt is kind of awesome.)
I think they should call this the Lawnmower Of The Future. Because clearly, that’s what it is. Except then maybe people would expect it to come with a robot to push it, too.
I kind of love this sleeper futon; the style has come a long way since the brokedown futon I had in college, huh? (And if what you really need a spare bed, no couch, go for the cheap Aerobed, instead.)
Purple duck tape! Well, that takes care of Christmas….
You know, my birthday’s coming up, and I’m still waiting on that 6-quart professional KitchenAid mixer…. (Down to $340 with available $40 rebate!)
Didn’t succumb to the recent deal on Yummy Earth candy yet? Today’s the day: Get the 150-count tub of lollipops for just $13, which means that if you buy 2 you can apply 45% off code YEARTH44 and get 300 lollipops for just $14.30 shipped. That’s under a nickel a piece, for organic candy! Repeat after me: Halloween. Done.
Of course, don’t forget to check out August’s assortment of 50 MP3 albums for just $5 each, plus today’s Gold Box Deal is kids’ Mammoth Crocs for just $11.89. (The idea of furry Crocs is kind of horrifying to me, but maybe not to you. What do I know, anyway? I live in Georgia, where people wear flip-flops all winter long.)
Have a great Friday, everyone!
If you’re willing to try EnviroKidz again
Despite the fact that occasionally an Amazon grocery deal doesn’t quite come together for me, I remain committed to using them to stock up on many of the more expensive snack foods my kids love. I guess I figure that even with the occasional snafu, it still works out most of the time and saves me big bucks.
With that in mind, allow me to suggest Amazon’s current deal on Nature’s Path and EnviroKidz products. Save 35% when you combine 20% off coupon code NATPAT67 with Subscribe & Save (which will also give you free shipping).
It looks like the chocolate rice crispy bars are sold out, but the berry crispy rice bars are also very good, and come out to about $.33 apiece on this deal. (Both those and the peanut butter rice bars are gluten-free, if you need that, plus their vanilla animal cookies are one of the better GF cookies I’ve had).
It’s great prices on tasty organic stuff, and I will spare you my amusement over there being such a thing as an organic toaster pastry. Ahem. I’m sure that pioneers had ones just like that before they headed out to work the fields.
Jetting off?
Well here’s a deal I’ve never seen before: JetBlue has decided to offer an All-You-Can-Jet Pass to customers for $599. It gets you unlimited (!!) JetBlue flights between September 8th and October 8th, 2009. If you already have a flight booked during that time period, you can “upgrade” to the pass by paying the difference. It’s a pretty sweet deal if you can make use of a month of frantic travel.
Of course, some of us don’t live near JetBlue hubs. For example, Atlanta, being the tiny little airport it is (ahem), isn’t served by JetBlue, so this is utterly useless to me.
But maybe not to you. Happy flying!
Free shipping, today only
For one day only, today (Thursday, August 13th, 2009), get free shipping on your $15+ order at The Body Shop with coupon code STOCKUP.
Check the sale gifts for the best deals and things most amenable to tucking into your gift closet for future use.
My resolve is weakening
Look, I’ve been trying to resist the big kids’ sale at Old Navy, I have. I’ve closed the window and looked away. But now in addition to the 40% off prices, you can use coupon code GETMORE for an additional 10% off $75+ pr 20% off $100+, and I’m only human, people. Sheesh.
As you were.
Go laser, baby
Been on the lookout for a deal on a laser printer? The current Lightning Deal at Amazon is for a Canon imageCLASS MF3240 Monochrome Laser All-in-One Printer for just $110 shipped, which is a heckuva deal just in shipping savings alone.
Remember, Lightning Deals are time-sensitive. If you want it, go quick before they sell out!
Broccoli, celery, gotta be. . .
… VeggieTales!
If your kids love VeggieTales (mine are a bit beyond it, now, though I do miss the days when my son was ask for “Goon-yer Agaragus!”), you might want to go ahead and sign up for the Big Idea newsletter. Doing so will entitle you to one VeggieTales DVD for just the cost of shipping—$2.99!
And if Larry and the gang leave you unmoved, well, I feel like I hardly know you anymore. (Love VeggieTales. Everybody wants a water buffalo!)
Get your underthings
Need socks and undies for back to school? Check out the big sale at Hanes.com; it’s their lowest prices ever on all of those important essentials, plus you can use coupon code 20PCTOFF for another 20% off.
Shipping is just $3.99 for your entire order. Between that and the sale, it’s cheaper than driving out to the store.
Back to school, back to the mountains
I’ll confess that when I think “back to school” I don’t immediately think about EMS—my kids don’t go to school in the mountains, after all—but they are having their back to school sale right now, with savings on backpacks and shoes and other things you might want, in the mountains or out.
They’re going Gear Bucks right now, too (spend $100, get $25 Gear Bucks), so if you’re a frequent shopper there, it’s a good time to buy.
Plus, you just never know when you might need a back-to-school kayak. Kidding. (I hope. You don’t, do you?)
