Some dailies from the Windy City
I’m not sure how much deal-scoping I’ll have time to do today, but I will come back later with our contest winner and possibly some more finds.
In the meantime, we’ll always have the dailies, sweetheart….
Amazon’s Gold Box Deal today is discounts on a variety of children’s name-brand clothing. No, it’s not going to be dirt cheap, but if you have a kid who simply “must” have that one special hoodie or pair of jeans or whatever, this may be a good way to pick it up.
Today 6pm.com has Oakley sunglasses for just $40, Diesel clothing over half off, and Reef sandals for under $35. That’s all in addition to the weekly deals that are still running.
And today’s daily deals at Target include a stock pot, cute purse, and some gladiator sandals. Because it’s important to have the right accessories when you make soup.
Stay out of trouble today while I’m wandering around trying to figure out where I’m supposed to be, mmkay?
Flippity do dah
If you’ve been biding your time, waiting for the right deal to come along on a Flip camcorder, today may just be your day.
The current promotion at Amazon allows you to choose your Flip model and then receive a qualifying accessory for free. But for some reason, the promotion has a glitch—instead of deducting the price of the accessory in your cart, it’s deducting the price of the accessory twice.
And for some reason, this Case Logic case is currently (over)priced at $52.09.
Pick your Flip. Add the case. Get the case for free, and another $52 off your Flip.
(They’re sure to figure this out and fix it pretty quickly, so move fast if you want the deal.)
[Edited Thursday morning to add: Looks like orders are now being canceled. Congrats to those of you whose orders shipped before they caught it!]
The cheap just got cheaper
It’s always a budget-savvy idea to shop for music, movies, and games at Second Spin, because why pay full price when you can get it good-as-new for less?
When they have a coupon, it’s just the icing on the cake. So shop today and tomorrow (July 22 and 23), and use coupon code 25ALLUSED for 25% off everything.
Unless you’d rather pay full price, that is. (In which case, I think you may be lost. Move along.)
Awwww, yeah
It’s a beautiful day for a Woot-Off, isn’t it? Clear with a chance of insane deals, I’d say.
Time to stock up on snacks
Back-to-school will be here before you know it, and that means we’re just weeks—possibly days!—away from children standing in front of the pantry and moaning, “There’s nothing to eeeeeeeeat!”
Feel the love.
Amazon’s offering an awesome deal, though; it’s a true stock-and-save event. Right now there’s a slew of eligible foods where buying 2 saves you 20%, buying 3 saves you 30%, or buying 5 gets you a whopping 40% off! Just use coupon code BCKSCLO9 to reap the savings at checkout. And you can mix and match, so there’s no need to buy five of the same item (unless you want to, of course).
It claims the code cannot be combined with Subscribe and Save, but I haven’t checked it. If you were buying 5 of the same thing, it might be worth testing that. But even if it’s true, 40% off on something like Horizon Organic Milk Boxes brings the price down to $.66/carton. I’m just saying.
I will now go buy more than I think I should, and be amazed when it’s all gone by the first week of school.
It’s in the bag
Whether you’re looking for a new backpack for school or a cute new purse, you’ll find everything over at eBags. And for the next several days (through July 24th, 2009), take 10% off even sale items and get free shipping on your entire order with coupon code EMBTS09.
It’s almost like the universe is giving you the perfect excuse to get that new purse. Just sayin’.
Do you hear their siren song?
Honestly, I have got to stop looking at 6pm.com. The daily deals suck me in every time. But today they have Steve Madden shoes for under $20, and I’m only human, people.
Stop looking at me like that.
It’s a ladder hiding as a chair
I don’t know why—maybe because it’s so much cuter than the traditional kitchen step stool—but I’m somewhat smitten with today’s Deal of the Day at Graveyard Mall. It’s a chair! It’s a step stool! It’s wood, and it’s not ugly. (Probably my children would use it to get on top of the refrigerator, but let’s not think about that.)
Even the ugly step stools run about $35+, and this is just $20 shipped and twice as versatile. Definitely one of their better steals.
Once more, with feeling
It’s that time again—time to stock up on gift certificates from Restaurant.com! Through July 28th, 2009, coupon code NAPKIN gets you a staggering 80% off your purchase, so $25 worth of dining costs you just $2. Why wouldn’t you use them? (And if the answer is, “Because they don’t have any of my favorite restaurants,” check again. New restaurants are being added all the time.)
I can’t help it; I pink puffy heart Restaurant.com. All the decadence of eating out without the big bill? It’s like they made it just for me.
Shave away shave away shave away
One of life’s great unsolvable mysteries—right up there with how pollination works—is why razor blades cost so much money. I often consider becoming a body-hair-loving hippie, and then my legs get stubbly and I chuck the idea. Still; why so much for razors?
The average cost of replacement triple blades at my local grocery store is around $3/blade. As my husband is perpetually in need of refills (possibly because when he tries to buy them at regular price I begin squawking about starving children in Africa and the indignity of being a bargain blogger and having a spouse who overpays for razor blades), this morning I was looking around… and discovered that Amazon has Mach3 cartridges on sale, 12 blades for around $16. That’s about as cheap as I’ve seen ’em without working a coupon and a sale together.
And as long as I was finding those, I looked for me, too—Venus refills are down to $10.50 for 8. Both are Super Saver Shipping eligible, so I got one of each and they shipped together for free.
Maybe someday I’ll go au naturale, but until then, I’m stocking up when the getting’s good.
