Try recycled, for free
I was at the grocery store this weekend and for the first time noticed that you can now buy recycled tinfoil. What a good idea, I thought. Then I saw the price. And I died.
But Reynolds wants to let you get a free roll (via rebate) to try out. It’s only available today, though, for Earth Day.
That’s two of my favorite things: Recycled, and free. Cover that foil in chocolate and we’re talking everything I love all in the same place. (Thanks, Natasha!)
Heads up — it’s time for an Allure box!
A couple of times a year, Allure offers a limited number of “beauty boxes” filled to the brim with expensive products at a deep discount. On the minus side, you may get some stuff you’re really not interested in having. But on the plus side, the products are full-sized and the box tends to be a tremendous value even if you won’t use it all. Plus: A portion of the proceeds are donated to a good cause.
Today (April 22nd, 2009) is Beauty Box day! Just go to Allure’s Beauty Box page to check out this year’s included products ($150 of products for $39.99), and beginning at noon Eastern time they’ll be open for orders. These do tend to go quickly, so plan to be there between noon and one if you’d like to order one.
$5 from every box sold goes directly to the Skin Cancer Foundation. What a lovely excuse to treat yourself to some fancy products!
Earth Day, all day
Ah, Earth Day. You’re all about taking care of the planet! You make me feel warm and fuzzy inside!
And you also save me money on cool DVDs. Earth Day, is there anything you can’t do?
Today only, take 25% off eligible Earth Day products at the Discovery Store with coupon code EARTHDAY.
Plus, there’s lots of DVDs on sale at the History Channel Store, but today only you can get The Universe Season 3 bundled with Planet Earth for just $59.98 (half price)!
Saving the earth has never been quite so entertaining (or dealicious). (Yes, that’s totally a word. Honest.)
Oh, the places you’ll save money
Have a few holes to be filled in your gift closet, or know someone who’s about to be a new graduate? Check out the Oh The Places You’ll Go! board game for $4.00 or the Oh The Wondrous Places You’ll Go! travel card game for $2.59 (both 80% off) at Amazon. Both ship for free with Prime or with $25 minimum and Super Saver Shipping.

My favorite kind of chips!
I’m talking about the guiltless kind, of course—chips that are organic, baked, and just about as good as it gets for a tortilla chip that still tastes really good. Too bad I will almost certainly cover them with cheese or drown them in bean dip, but that’s not important right now!
What is important is that right now you can buy 12-packs of Guiltless Gourmet tortilla chips at Amazon—already marked 21% – 29% off—and then use coupon code GUILTLES to take another 20% off the purchase price. My favorite kind (the chili lime; yum) come to just under $2/bag this way, which is cheaper than the generic, chemical-laden supermarket brand.
Plus, shipped free to your door. Tasty chips for cheap, lazy people. They should totally put that on the bag.
Scoop up the swim deals
I recently got one of those, um “control” suits from Lands’ End, and I have to tell you: I am in love. Look; I’m not all that big, so a lot of times the swimsuits designed to hold you in don’t even come in my size. But time is a cruel mistress, and who amongst us can’t use a little extra support when it comes to stripping down at the pool? (If you can’t, lucky you. Also, I don’t like you so much anymore.) My new swim suit is pretty and comfortable and holds in and up anything that might otherwise be inclined to go out or down. Hallelujah!
And now for just three days, all swim at Lands’ End is 30% off, for whole family. That’s suits, towels, rash guards, even shoes! (But I cannot recommend the women’s control suits highly enough; big thumbs-up from me.)
Ship your order for free with coupon code CONCERT and PIN 6143, but that will work today (Tuesday, April 21st, 2009) only. [Edited to add: Through April 23rd, 2009, you can use code SWIM with PIN 5084 for free shipping!] Shop quick, and then, happy swimming!
More markdowns
It looks like the sale items at The Children’s Place have gone to 40% off, today. Woohoo! And don’t forget that you can use coupon code SA249 for another 15% off.
Someday, TCP will allow you to search sale items by size, and then my life will be complete. (As it is, I just assume that anything I want is out of stock in my kids’ size. I’m nearly always right!)
Cheap coffee, good cause
I almost forgot! Today is Iced Coffee Day at Dunkin Donuts. That means you can get an iced coffee for just $.50, and for every one you buy, DD will donate money to Homes for Our Troops.
Happy caffeinating!
Let’s start with some shoes
I’m off to a slow start this morning; perhaps it’s going to be a three-cup-of-coffee kind of morning. Because it’s easier to see the deals from the ceiling, anyway….
Today at 6pm.com all many Sam & Libby shoes are just $9.95, but I can’t seem to find the direct link (and the homepage hasn’t been updated yet). But if you search on Same & Libby you’ll find ’em. So cute!
And I’m pretty sure that when you spent the previous day tending to a sick kid, you deserve new shoes. I’m sure I read that somewhere….
Microbiological what, now?
Hey, sorry I disappeared all afternoon. I had to take a sick kid to the doctor and then convince the pharmacy that yes, they really did want to give us some delicious medicine. Days like today, being a mom is totally awesome.
But, uh, I have germs on the brain, now. I cannot imagine why.
Apparently my Vulcan mind meld with Amazon is nearly complete, because their Gold Box Deal today is the Pur Two-Stage Water Dispenser, which takes out all of the bad stuff (“microbiological cysts” to which I say “There are cysts in my water??“) but leaves the fluoride. And the water. I think. I mean, I’m pretty sure.
Do you think my kid is sick because I didn’t properly filter his water? Don’t answer that.
