Target’s got a veritable potpourri of daily deals today, from a Swiss Army knife to a couple of handbags.
Amazon’s Gold Box Deal today is special pricing on Sushi Chef products, if you’re into making your own sushi at home. And if you’ve got a baby (or a baby shower coming up), check out this price on Dr. Brown’s bottles—three for just $7.85!

Good things happen on Fridays
I’m feeling rather perky, this Friday. My new chiropractor has been a huge help with my neck. I’m getting the first of my new Frigidaire appliances this afternoon. And—of course—there’s the Amazon Friday Sale!
I have been teasing my husband for a couple of years now that I’m going to buy him one of these slide-under-the-car things (apparently they’re called creepers; I had no idea) because I’m tired of listening to him complain when he’s wiggling beneath whichever car he’s fixing. I honestly have no idea if $39.99 is a good price for that, but I do know that although it appears to have an associated shipping charge, the “special offer” is free shipping. So there’s that. (The same goes for this one. They come in different sizes? Now I’m totally confused.)
Have I sung the praises of my anti-gravity recliners lately? No? Lurve them.
Once upon a time I believed that things like serrated-tip grapefruit spoons were superfluous and silly. And then I had children. Children whom I hope will not end up with rickets. And now I love my grapefruit spoons. The end.
It’s still too rich for my blood, but I do long for one of these stainless compost buckets. I know; aim high, right? Heh.
I’m a Cuisinart girl, myself, but this KitchenAid food processor is pretty sweet looking.
Everybody’s favorite Breadman is back! Homemade bread with little effort, mmmmm.
Do you think this watch was really $625, originally? For that kind of money, I want them to put the whole face on the thing, you know?
If you’re placing an order and need a little filler item to get you up to $25 for Free Super Saver Shipping, consider these Miniz Ball Point pens—at just $1.75 for the pair, I’m betting there’s a stocking or two you can stick ’em in come December.
Today’s Gold Box Deal is a great pick for Dad, too; it’s the Blu-ray Superhero collection, including the Spider-Man trilogy and five other movies. (Be sure to note that the lukewarm rating appears to be due to a previous price snafu; it’s available today at under $80, which is well under the price some of the reviewers are claiming they missed out on.)
Once again, instead of the Friday Five, Amazon is offering 50 MP3 albums for $5 each for the entire month of June. Woo! It’s a great time to load up your iPod before any summer travel.
Go have a wonderful Friday, everyone!
Time to get your Crocs
I know that there are generally two camps about Crocs: The first believes them to be heaven-sent footwear, and the second believes them to be egregious fashion faux pas. Me? I don’t mind ’em on kids, and I have a pair I wear to knock around the garden in, or out by the pool.
The point being, even the most committed shoe-lover cannot escape Crocs. Just sayin’.
Right now at Crocs.com, they have several varieties available as buy 2 or more pairs, get 50% off all of ’em. Some of the eligible styles are as low as $9.99 (like the girls’ mary janes), so you could be looking at under $5 per pair.
And if that‘s not enough, you can also use coupon code springcustomer09 for free shipping on your order. Combine the sale and the code, and you’re looking at genuine Crocs for less than the cheap knock-offs at that place that starts with W and ends with Mart.
Spruce up the house, even on a budget
Woohoo, it’s time for both a sale at Home Decorators Outlet and a new coupon—get $30 off your purchase of $150+, automatically!
I love me some HDO. Just ask my rugs. Or my lamps. Or that funny little corner cabinet in the dining room. Heh.
Pamper your pooch
Does Fido deserve only the best gourmet treats? Yes he does! Who’s a good little doggie?
Amazon has a variety of Blue Dog Bakery Premium Treats available at around 23% off. Then you can apply coupon code BLUEDOG4 for another 25% off, and buy via Subscribe & Save for free shipping and another 15% off.
The end result is gourmet treats at generic prices. Woof!
Shhh, it’s a secret
Right now the big Father’s Day Sale is on at Kohls, and they’re also doing the Secret Sale, which is when you get a scratch-off thingie (yes, that is the technical term) for extra savings at the store. But if you just want to order online from the comfort of your own home, Kohls card holders can use coupon code JUNSAVE15 through June 17th, 2009, for an additional 15% off purchase. Card holders can stack that with code MVC1716 for free shipping on any order, too.
No Kohls card? No problem! Shipping is automatically free on orders of $75+, and you can use code NEW5696 for an additional 10% off your order through June 13th, 2009.
As always, everything seems to be on sale. Could be some good deals in there, particularly in the clearance section.
[Edited to add: Search on “Big One” to find their house-brand towels—they’re buy one, get one, which turns into a smoking deal when combined with coupons!]
A $10 Bulova watch?
Maybe it’s a price mistake, but it’s a darn good deal while it lasts: Amazon is offering this Bulova watch for $60 shipped, and your purchase will get you a $50 Amazon gift certificate towards a future purchase! [Edited to add: Make sure you select Amazon as the seller to get the special gift certificate bonus! You may need to select it from under “More Buying Choices” in the right-hand column.]
That’s right. It’s a $10 Bulova. And it has those cool Frank Lloyd Wright numbers, too. Very cool.
Okay, maybe he prefers comics
(Really? No takers on the Monty Python set? I thought I knew you, people.)
If Dad’s taste run a little more towards comic books than Monty Python, go check out the current Lightning Deal in today’s Amazon Gold Box—it’s the Marvel Blu-ray 3-pack for $28.99 shipped. That’s Fantastic 4, Silver Surfer, and Daredevil.
But hurry! This one will sell out quick.
“Behold, the larch.”
Haaaaaaaa! I found the perfect Father’s Day present for any guy who’s ever urged someone to go ahead and have a mint, because it’s only “waffer thin!”
Check it out: Buy.com has the Complete Monty Python’s Flying Circus Collector’s Edition DVD set for just $44.97 shipped. (For comparison: It’s currently $80 at Amazon.)
It’s 21 discs of ridiculous fun. And you can, you know, say it’s for him and then watch it, yourself. Win-win!
Always, always ask
I happened to be at TJ Maxx this week with my daughter, looking for a new purse. I found one I really liked, but it was still quite a bit more than I wanted to pay.
My daughter—ever my protege—checked out the price tag and declared that I should “totally get it” on account of it already having been marked at the original TJM reduced price, then discounted twice more. In fact, we could see that the cost was now about 25% of the original MSRP. (Two words: Italian leather. Mmmmm.)
That bag had a few scuff marks. So I took it to a manager and asked if she might take a bit more money off, on account of the bag’s condition. She said that it had already been marked down twice, so the best she could do was another 10%. I told her I would need to think about it a bit more, and what should I do if I decided I wanted it at that price? Just tell the cashier, she said, that she’d okayed another 10%.
It was still more than I wanted to spend, but in the end I decided to buy it and take it home; if I got it home and realized I’d really spent too much, I could always return it. (But if I left it there, it might be gone if I decided I really wanted it.) We went to pay and I told the cashier what the manager had said. She said she’d get the manager behind the counter to make a new tag for it.
And the new tag was for 25% off instead of 10% off. I don’t know why—I don’t know if it was an accident or if the other manager meant to do it—but I do know that I have a pretty new purse for approximately 18% of the original retail price.
All because I asked.
