Saturday deals
Don’t go to the mall; shop from home in your pajamas today. All the cool kids are doing it.
It’s time for another Restaurant.com promo—use coupon code PORTION to save 80% off their already ridiculous savings. That means you can get $25 dining certificates for just $2 out-of-pocket, and if you don’t want to save $23 on your meal, you are on the wrong website.
Been waiting for another Lands’ End free shipping code? Your wish is my command; use code COZY with PIN 2664 for free shipping on any size order. You’re welcome.
Get your back-to-school shoes at Shoes.com and use coupon code BTSSHOES09 to save an additional 15%. Or check out today’s specials at 6pm.com (Reebok, Teva, and Propet are all on sale).
What’s better than cookies for breakfast? Cheap and nutritious cookies for breakfast! Right now you can shop Erin Baker’s breakfast cookies at Amazon and save 40% over their already-reduced price. Use coupon code EBAKER44 for 25% off, combined with Subscribe & Save for another 15% off and free shipping. I’m looking at these double chocolate chunk ones and drooling. And wishing I was still eating wheat. But $.70/cookie for a quick breakfast-on-the-go is a great deal.
Old Navy is offering up to 40% off kids’ stuff, plus you can use coupon code FREE50 though August 20th, 2009 to get free shipping on your $50+ order. If you haven’t finished that back-to-school shopping—or started laying in cheap clothes for next summer!—now’s the time.

Contest coming up later on today. Honest and for true. Heh. Check back later on!
Friday! Sale!!
I may be a little more excited about the Amazon Friday Sale this week than is strictly necessary. But the kids have been back to school for a whole day and I’m looking for familiar things to cling to. Things that don’t whine or accuse me of hiding backpacks. Ahem.
I love this—know how we’ve been talking about nonstick pans, lately? And the whole “Oh my gosh is Teflon going to kill me?” thing? Check out this set of Earth Pans, non-stick cookware that’s good for you and the planet. At around $110 for 10 pieces (okay, that counts the lids, but really, it’s still 6 pieces), it’s economical to go green!
Rawr! Purchase this sexy red KitchenAid Pro mixer and be eligible for $40 cash back and a subscription to Food & Wine magazine. Come to Mama, baby.
Worst-named product ever: This continuous pulp-ejection juicer. I mean, I’m sure it’s a lovely product. But… seriously?
Perhaps it comes of having been a trend-conscious middle-schooler when Swatch watches were big (and don’t any of you young whippersnappers dare ask me, “What’s a Swatch?”), but I have a thing for watches where you can see the gears. Yes, I’m a dork. Anyway, while the sale watches usually don’t move me, I love this Kenneth Cole watch as a perfect blend of formal and funky for a guy. (If you want something cheaper, and/or don’t want the visible gears, check out this Fossil watch, instead.)
Today’s Gold Box Deal is the 12-disc Cirque du Soleil anniversary edition set, perfect for encouraging your children to run off and enjoy the circus! (Kidding. Probably.)
And of course, don’t forget that there’s 50 MP3 albums for just $5 each available in their music store. While I still miss the Friday Five, I have to admit it’s nicer to have an entire month to pick out which of those 50 albums I can’t live without.
Have a great Friday, everyone!
Dorms are everywhere
Have a kid leaving for college? Just like the sorts of stuff college kids like? Right now you can get free shipping on sorts of dorm essentials at Best Buy for the next few days.
I call my husband’s home office his dorm room. You don’t have to be a kid to enjoy the finer plastic and gadget-y things in life, you know.
Live action recording
I hesitate to post this one, because I already live in the House Of Cameras, and I suspect if my husband sees this he’s going to want one, but if you’ve been looking for a waterproof action cam, here it is. For just $50 shipped you can immerse it in water, put it on your helmet, strap it to your bike… the possibilities are nearly endless. Decent reviews, too.
Come to think of it, I don’t think it’s my husband I have to be worried about. Please, no one show this to my son…. (Though how cool of a gift would this be for a teen who does extreme sports?)
Nothing a little footwear can’t soothe
My kids are going back to school today. Mah baybee is starting junior high today.
A moment of silence, please.
After I packed their lunches, I of course looked around for a little something to make myself feel better. And while I’ve never heard of them before now, all Tsonga shoes are just $19.95 at 6pm today, and they are wicked cute.
I suspect they’re just the thing for a bereft mother of children who refuse to stop growing.
At least 6 different kinds of (robotic) awesome
I totally think I need the robotic “study buddy” lamp featured today in the Target Daily Deals. Because it’s a robot! That’s a lamp! With pinchy fingers to hold stuff!
True story: The members of my family are now arguing over who deserves a robot lamp the most.
(The answer is me. Me me me. Ahem.)
For that one thing you forgot
Y’all know I’m a regular Kohls shopper, anyway, but I find they’re particularly good when I’ve just realized that my son doesn’t have a single pair of dress pants that cover his ankles or my daughter is magically out of socks. Now, as a Kohls card holder I pretty much always get free shipping with a code, but even if you’re not, when they do $.99 shipping per item it’s a great time to grab the last thing or two you need.
Today (August 5th, 2009) only, they’re doing the $.99 shipping promotion again. They’ve also just put a slew of new items in the clearance, so it’s a great time to shop. Have one of those Kohls cards? Use coupon code MVC788 for completely free shipping, and stack it with code KOHLSMVC15 for 15% off your entire order. No Kohls card? If you’re buying big, use coupon code PERKSPOT100 for 15% off your $100+ order.
And don’t spend any time wondering where the socks went. It’s one of those unanswerable questions.
Fizzy Izze, so much better than soda
I’m just going to say it: I love Izze. I love that instead of high fructose corn syrup-laden soda I can offer my kids a treat that’s pure fruit juice (in delicious flavors) mixed with sparkling water, no sugar or HFCS added.
Today’s Amazon Gold Box Deal is varieties of Izze for just $14.99 for a 24-pack. Even better, you can purchase via Subscribe & Save, which brings the cost down to $12.74 and gets you free shipping. At around $.50/can, it’s still more expensive than soda, but infinitely less guilt-inducing.
Just for women
I had a reader send me a question about workout wear the other day, and before I knew it, I was waxing prosaic about Athleta, a company that makes workout gear just for women. But—I cautioned the asker—as nice as their stuff is, it tends to be pretty pricey. But then I went and checked, and it turns out that Athleta is having a huge sale right now, so I thought maybe that would be of general interest.
And because Athleta is now available as part of the Gap/Old Navy/Piperlime family, you can shop there and throw things in your communal cart when picking up cute shoes or back-to-school clothes for the kids or whatever. Which is kind of awesome.
Rock it out
You know I can’t resist a good deal on Rock Band 2. Because… guitar! And drums! And rocking out! And the hilarity!
(No, I’m not any good at it. Yes, I love it anyway.)
At $100 shipped, this is the lowest I’ve seen this set. Could be a sweet Christmas present to scoop up early, no? Or maybe just a “this is how much I love you, even though you’re tone deaf and have no rhythm” gift. Either way.
