I guess it’s no secret that I’m an Apple fan (gee, you think?), but just because I’m a fan of their products doesn’t mean that you always have to buy them from the Apple Store. (Sorry, Apple.) If you’re in the market for an iPod, for example, you might be interested to know that all iPods are on sale at Best Buy this week. I’m just mentioning it.

Though how I ever got through a long plane ride without a pocket full of “Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me”s, I cannot imagine. My iPod has changed my life. (Well, it’s changed my plane trips, anyway!)

Happy Memorial Day! I hope that today you are honoring those who have served our country, and also that you are charring foodstuffs on a grill and drinking something with an umbrella in it.

Should you be looking for some Friday Sale-esque savings, of course Amazon is having a Memorial Day Sale, and you know I’m poking through it right now looking for a better deal on that coffin….

My favorite mixer is down to $310 shipped, and comes with a free ice cream maker attachment, too. Mmmmm… bread and ice cream.

I can’t help it—I love this dessert set, cheesy though it may be. (It also doesn’t say if they’re glass or plastic, which is a little disturbing.)

Oh, thank goodness! I’ve been searching and searching for a pistachio desk chair! (No I haven’t. This isn’t as good as a coffin, but it’s close.)

This is the lowest I’ve seen these camp chairs go so far this season. I sort of love them.

Four little words: Perfect Father’s Day gift. You’re welcome!

I never understood what the big deal was with these anti-gravity recliners until we got a couple for the porch. Now I love them in a way that may not be normal.

I just love a good holiday.

Good morning! I just typoed that as “goof morning,” probably because I haven’t had any coffee yet, and that seems like a fitting omen for the day. Be on the lookout for rubber chickens.

Let’s see what fine deals await us this weekend….

It’s time for the end-of-the-month savings at Restaurant.com again! Through the weekend, use coupon code SPECIAL to take a whopping 80% off of your order. That’ll get you $25 dining certificates to your favorite restaurants for just $2 out of pocket, which—let’s face it—is probably less than you currently have wedged in your sofa cushions.

Don’t forget to check out this weekend’s deals at 6pm.com; they’ve got Clarks 70% off, Privos for under $17 bucks, and Simples for under $15 bucks. (I’ve been wanting some Privo sandals. If this isn’t a sign from above, I don’t know what is.)

You’ve only got through the end of the month left to save at the Kodak Store; use coupon code AFFSAV15 for 15% off your order.

JoAnne was kind enough to email me to say that there appears to be a special going on between Papa Johns and Six Flags, where you can buy adult tickets only for the kids’ price. I did some investigating and it’s an online special for everyone—purchase and print out your tickets at home, and adults save $10 per ticket! That’s handy to know, especially if your kids won Six Flag tickets a school through the Read To Succeed program, like mine did. (Some deal; they get free tickets, we still have to shell out to take them. Hmph.) Thanks for the tip, JoAnne!

The big Memorial Day Savings Event is on at The Children’s Place, with lots of clothes in $5, $6, $7, or $8 “buckets.” Don’t forget that you can also add in coupon code S2A59 for 15% off your order.

Today’s Amazon Gold Box Deal is any of the first four seasons of Saturday Night Live on DVD for just under $25 apiece. One or two (or all) of these would be an awesome Father’s Day gift for the man who loved the original show. (Nothing says “We love you, and gosh you are old,” like this, people.)

Kohls has power hours today (special deals that only go for part of the day), plus your whole order ships for $4.99 this weekend, plus they’re doing Kohls Cash ($10 to spend later for everything $50 you spend now), plus you can use coupons. (Is this a great country or what?) Card holders can use MYEXTRA15 for another 15% off, and MVC3371 for free shipping. Non-card holders can use NEW1592 for an additional 10% off.

Have an awesome start to your holiday weekend, everyone!

I guess there was enough grumbling last week that Amazon was sure to bring back the Friday Sale in a timely manner for today. Hooray! I feel so much calmer, now. I don’t like change. And it’s definitely time for Wapner.

There’s a variety of collegiate Crocs down to just about $15, depending on the size and school you choose.

Need some queen sheets? It’d be hard to go wrong with 600-thread-count for under $38. I’m just sayin’.

They’re calling this a 3-in-1 softie wrap, but we know the truth. It’s an Abominable Snuggie.

If you’ve been eying a retro-style dinette, the black set is down to $289 shipped, which is a steal.

There’s plenty of cookware on sale (again); go for either the Cuisinart chef’s classic set or the Anolon professional set if you want non-stick, or the Calphalon commercial set if you don’t.

The KitchenAid hand mixer is down to $57 today, and there’s an eligible $10 rebate, too. It’s not quite as good as a stand mixer, obviously, but I own this and love it. It froths up egg whites in nothing flat (the true measure of a good mixer, natch).

Okay, so, the ghd flat iron is the one that I own and whisper sweet nothings to, and I got mine on similar sale from Amazon, and have since received a severe tongue-lashing from my stylist about how Amazon isn’t authorized to sell these. Whatever. Mine works fine, but I guess there’s some risk in buying this way. You have to decide if the savings are worth it to you.

Wrongest product ever, with the best reviews ever. Please go read them. You will laugh.

Have a great Friday, everyone. And, um, don’t buy any leaky caskets.

Right around this time every year I start itching for a new purse. I do my best to keep the cravings to a minimum, but sometimes I really do need one (like if last year’s has given up the ghost). Fortunately, through the end of the month, eBags is offering 15% off most purses, which means i can shop with a bit less guilt.

If travel’s on your summer itinerary, you’ve also got through the remainder of May to take $20 off your $100+ luggage purchase with them, too.

And if neither of those float your boat, it looks like coupon code CATAPLPH8 will give you free shipping on any order, instead. (Special offers cannot be combined, though, so figure out what’s going to give you the best discount on your order.)

With deals like these, it seems like it would be wrong not to get a new bag. Right? Right.

Mmmmm… Frosty.

The Frosty at Wendy’s is one of fast food weaknesses. I know it’s not really ice cream. I love it anyway. And now they have new flavors, like the Frosty-cino or the coffee-toffee twisted Frosty (coffeelicious!) for those of us who can always use a little more coffee.

Mmmmm… coffee.

What? Oh! Right! The deal. Well, rev up your printer, and then go click to print out a buy one, get one coupon for your next Frosty purchase. Because the only thing better than a Frosty is a free Frosty.
