Soup weather
I realize it’s still hotter than you-know-what in many parts of the country, but here in the mountains it is cold. And rainy. Last night for dinner we had stew, and tonight I am seriously considering making soup. Crazy.
If you’re living somewhere similarly chilly and damp, or if you just want to be ready for winter, you might want to check out this great deal on a Farberware 8-quart stock pot at Amazon. It’s down to just $29.99, plus it’s eligible for the 4-for-3 promotion!
Okay, you probably don’t want four stock pots. But if you were buying some other 4-for-3 things, that’d work. Or get four pots if you like. I don’t judge. Maybe you just really, really like soup.
A daily dose of. . . pink camera?
So I was cruising through some daily deals this morning and was struck dumb by the cuteness over at the Target Daily Deals; there’s a pink Polaroid digital camera that would be perfect for a young lady’s first camera if she’s into pink.
There’s also a nice notebook case for $14, or a gaming center gamekeeper for $28. Remember, all of the daily deals ship for free!
More free shipping
Did you know that the big summer sale is still on at Lands’ End? It is, with up to 40% off your summer favorites, as well as all of the great deals you can always find in their Overstocks.
And thanks to pretty Want Not reader Carey, there’s a free shipping code good through tomorrow (July 1st, 2009)—just use code JUNE30 with PIN 9146. Thanks for letting us know, Carey!
Save on the educational stuff
I love it when I can proclaim a product to be educational, because then there’s no need to feel any guilt about purchasing it. It’s still nice to score a good deal on it, though.
This week PBS is offering 20% off best-sellers, which means it’s a great time to pick up the DVDs and books you love, utterly guilt-free. They’re also still offering an automatic $5 off your $50+ order or $10 off your $100+ order, too.
And every dollar you spend with PBS supports public television. You know, for the children. (And for my husband, who is a slave to This Old House.)
Get in business without breaking the bank
Those of you who’ve won prizes from Want Not know that I have goofy business cards, because I include one whenever I ship stuff out. One of the perks of working for myself is that I don’t have to have a stuffy, boring template for my cards. And my kids have business cards, too—no, they’re not in business (unless they can make a business out of driving me crazy) (thank you, thank you, I’ll be here all week!), but they love having their own cards with their phone number and email addresses to give out to their friends.
Want to get some premium business cards for work, fun, or just because you’re too lazy write down your number for folks? Right now you can get 500 full-color premium business cards from Vistaprint for just $1.99 plus shipping. (There’s a ton of offers on the page that takes you to. Look for “Premium Business Cards” in the left column.) For under $10 you’ll have all the cards you could possibly need, at a price that leaves you plenty of money for the more important things in life.
Like ice cream. And shoes.
He needs new shoes, too
It’s not like there’s a shortage of shoes for everyone in the family at 6pm.com, or anything, but today they happen to have a plethora of Bass shoes for men for just under $23 apiece.
So those of you who’ve been chiding me because your husbands are hassling you about all the shoe deals… maybe you’ll just want to go buy him a new pair of shoes, and then if a pretty pair of sandals for you happens to fall into the cart, well, that’s just collateral damage and hardly your fault, I’d say.
Not that I’ve ever done such a thing. Ahem.
There’s a discount for that
Have a Gap, Banana Republic, or Old Navy credit card? The big summer sale at Old Navy is still going on, and through July 2nd, 2009, card holders can take 25% off purchase with coupon code THANKYOU25.
Old Navy, I wish I could quit you. Stop making stylish, cheap clothing my kids love!
It’s a Boom Blox Bash
I got a free trial of a video game rental service a while back, for the kids. I asked them what games they wanted to put in the queue, and they gave me a list of about six different ones. First on the list was Boom Blox, and when it came they played it relentlessly and by the end of the trial, we’d never received anything else. Because the children were unwilling to give up Boom Blox. (It really is a fun game.)
Now there’s a new Boom Blox game! And right now Boom Blox Bash Party is just $29.99 at Amazon—an amazing price considering it’s still pretty much brand new. It has great reviews, too.
I may have to break down and buy it.
Ahhh, my favorite price
Headed over to Bath & Body works this week? Why don’t you print out this coupon for a free travel-size foaming hand sanitizer with purchase while you’re there?
I’m on their mailing list, so I was actually mailed the coupon last week. I made the trip to the store (I know; me at a store!) and discovered their foaming hand soaps were on sale for $3 (love those), so I picked up a couple of those and it was well worth my trip.
It was also worth it to watch my husband sniff the various scents and make horrible faces. Heh. (FYI, the man-approved scents include Rainwater, Clean Cotton, and Cucumber Melon.)
Extra dining, extra fun
I don’t know how I missed this one before, but there’s just one day left (today, Tuesday, June 30th) to take advantage of the latest offer from Restaurant.com offer: Pick up a $25 dining certificate for 70% off using coupon code RECIPE—which will net you just $3 out-of-pocket—and you’ll also get a bonus $10 dining certificate. That’s $35 of food you didn’t have to cook for just $3. I don’t know a better deal than that.
The bonus $10 code will be emailed to you within 24 hours of purchase. And then tomorrow when July starts and all of the restaurants with limited monthly quotas have certificates available again… well, you know what to do.
