Because there are always more dishes
Mind you, this is kind of a stupid amount of dishwashing liquid, but: Right now Amazon has this 6-pack of Free & Clear Seventh Generation Dish Liquid available for just $15.54—which is already a perfectly excellent price—but you can also buy via Subscribe & Save for up to another 15% off and free shipping, and there’s a clippable 30% off coupon. That means you could end up with 150 ounces of environmentally-friendly (yet highly rated, still actually-cleans-the-dishes) dishwashing liquid for just over $10 shipped.
If you’re not in need of dish liquid, the same coupon is available for their Free & Clean hand soap. This stuff is normally a lot more expensive (why oh why do products with less in them always cost more, universe??), so if you use either one, this is definitely the deal to beat.
Towel time
Are you using sad, old towels? (Don’t feel bad. I am notorious for hanging on to towels well past their prime. I don’t know what my problem is.) Right now is a good time to turn over your stash, or stock up for your dorm-bound kids, or buy some wedding gifts. Whatever.
JC Penney is offering their Home Expressions bath towels at a deep discount, right now. Bath-size towels are just $3.99 apiece; hand towels are $3.49; washcloths are $2.79; and an entire 6-piece set is just $17.99. That’s pretty awesome, already, but right now if you spend $25+, you can use coupon code FORYOU99 to take an additional $10 off. Shipping to your local store is free (I always just ship to store, when I’m buying online with JCP.)
Mix and match to make the deal you want, then apply the coupon to make it even more crazy awesome. While these certainly aren’t top-of-the-line luxury towels, they average a 4.5 star review and will certainly be worth this price.
Hey hey, it’s Schoola day!
Tax day? Whatever—today is actually bonus day at Schoola, where your purchase of 4+ items today only (Friday, April 15th, 2016) will get you a $15 credit towards a future purchase, too.
(And if you’ve never shopped them before, signing up through my link gets us both a $10 shopping bonus, too.)
“Summer Ship” = savings right now
Do not ask me to explain this—I try not to look gift horses in the mouth, even when they confuse me—but right now Amazon is offering a number of their groceries items with an additional 50% off at checkout if they fall under their “Summer Ship” category. What does that mean? I suspect it means “these are items we tend not to sell during the summer because they melt, so we’re trying to reduce inventory right now before that happens,” but that’s just a guess.
Regardless, I just picked up a case of 36 full-size 3 Musketeers bars for $12.23 shipped, which is nuts. (That’s one case of candy for band concessions taken care of before we even have our first rehearsal of the season.) And 18 packages of white-chocolate-covered Snyder’s pretzels? Well that’s on its way here for just $6.30. (Guess who’s going to be taking a case of pretzels to college…?) I can’t seem to find any sort of centralized location for the items which are half off, but poke around. Eligible items say “Save 50% each on Summer Ship offered by Amazon.com when you purchase 1 or more” under the “Special Offers and Product Promotions” section of the page (kind of in the middle).
Happy hunting!
The Want Not Review: Parent Hacks
Are you a parent? Do you follow Parent Hacks? Pretty much everything Asha Dornfest does is brilliant, and I am forever wishing her site had been around when my kids were tiny, because every tip she offers is both simple and genius. I mean… turn the bread the other way ’round to disguise the fact that you’re making a sandwich with the loaf heels and not have your kid complain? Okay, fine, maybe that’ll work on my teenagers, too.
Now Asha’s taken the best tips from the last 10+ years and put them into a best-selling book, perfect for your own use or as the newest parenting bible to give to new parents. She covers everything from MacGyver-esque baby-proofing to how to get the gunk out of the corners of the cupholders in your van. And yes, you will be shaking your head and saying Why didn’t I think of that?? as you read. At the same time, the quick-tip format and fun illustrations make this perfect for a busy parent to read on the go or in-between toddler tantrums.
When I was pregnant (you know, back in the Stone Age), we had What to Expect When You’re Expecting (which pretty much convinced me—mid hormonal-craziness—that eating anything other than organic whole grains and vegetables was tantamount to poisoning my baby outright) and The Girlfriend’s Guide to Surviving the First Year of Motherhood (which was funny, but hard to read with an infant screaming at me 24/7). Parent Hacks is the book I wish I’d had, back then.
I have a copy of Parent Hacks to give away to a Want Not reader! Get it for yourself, get it for your favorite expectant or new parent, win this one and buy six copies for your friends, whatever. If you want to win it, first go review the contest rules and regulations, then come on back here and leave a comment on this post by 8:00 am Eastern (that’s 5:00 am Pacific) on Friday, April 15th, 2016. The winner will be selected via my WordPress random-winner-picker-plugin-thingie (technical term).
Ready? Go!
Free shipping, today only
Whatever you need for your home from Oneida, they’re offering free shipping on any size order today (Monday, April 11th) only with coupon code FREESHIP. (Just a heads up, though—even after you put in the code, your shipping still will not default to the free option. Just make sure you change it.)
Buy a little, buy a lot… it all ships for free. This is the perfect time to pick up an extra set of silverware or a replacement lid that your cabinet ate at some point.
If you loved The Little Rascals…
… here’s your chance to relive the entire series for a ridiculously cheap price.
Amazon has The Little Rascals: The Complete Collection 8-DVD set listed at $51.71 right now, but if you scroll down and look at the “Other Sellers on Amazon” column on the right, you’ll see an offer to order directly from Amazon for just $9.30 with free Prime shipping.
Why? I have no idea. Also, it’s listed as “temporarily out of stock” for that option, but you can order and they’ll ship when they get ’em.
I used to love that show when I was a kid. In related news, when I was a kid, dinosaurs still roamed the earth.
Another dorm (or just home) deal for you
Am I weirdly obsessed with dorm stuff right now? Yeah, I am. Even more fun for me—my daughter is leaving this fall, and her brother is only a year behind. So I’m taking full advantage of any deal which offers a two-pack of something useful, because hey, we’re gonna need a second set before we know it.
Anyway! Here’s a useful two-pack I just snapped up for my teens, but even if you don’t have a dorm to outfit, this would be useful just about anywhere: Amazon has this two-pack of Sterlite drawer carts available right now for $19.95, which is its lowest price ever. This is perfect for a dorm nightstand or just general storage, or if you’ve got little kids, it’s great for an art chest or kid-accessible-snacks or whatever. [Edited to add: Looks like it’s now defaulting to a different seller/higher price. Look in the “Other Sellers” column on the right to select Amazon as the seller at the lower price.]
For $10 apiece delivered, I’m not worried about it.
It’s Black Friday again (no, really)
I know, it’s Thursday. Also: Not November. But! Right now Bon-Ton is doing a Black Friday reprise, with deals all through the weekend, as well as Flash Sale markdowns happening today only.
Make it even better: Use coupon code BDAYAPR for free shipping on your $25+ order, and/or codes YELLOWAP316 for an extra 20% off Yellow Dot items and SAVE25APR16 for an extra 25% off select Regular and Sale items. (Be aware that the Flash Sale items are ineligible for further markdowns, but they’re crazy low, anyway.)
I’m pretty sure my spoiled rotten dog lumps need new beds at 60% off, right? Of course they do.
Stock up on Levi’s
If you love Levi’s, today’s a good day to check ’em out—shop Levi’s online and you’ll find some crazy good deals in the Warehouse section. Plus, you’ll be prompted to sign up with your email address to get a unique code for 20% off and free shipping.
If you’d rather just shop the regular site, code SAVEMORE will take 30% off your $125+ order (which won’t be hard to reach, because goodness Levi’s are more expensive than I remember them being).
