Big savings on Blu-ray
You’ve got until April 4th, 2009 to reap the Blu-ray savings at Amazon—select discs are eligible for the “Buy More, Save More” promotion, which means you can save $20 on 3, $50 on 6, or $100 on 10!
There’s plenty of family favorites available. Might want to mention it to the Easter Bunny. (Though, if your Easter Bunny brings Blu-ray discs, I think I’d like to meet him.)
They’ve come a long way, baby
Remember when rice cakes were what people on a diet ate? No fat, no salt, no taste? Well, things have certainly changed—now rice cakes are just as bad for you as potato chips.
Erm, I mean, now rice cakes are delicious! If you don’t mind their loss of status as a health food, perhaps you’d like to sign up for a free sample of Quaker Quakes or Mini Delights. Be a rebel and choose chocolate, or continue pretending they’re healthy and choose cheddar. I won’t tell, either way.
It’s possible I watch too much TV
Today’s Amazon Gold Box Deal is seasons 1 through 4 of Boston Legal for 65% off.
I used to love that show. Of course, back when it used to be the air, I always thought of Star Trek whenever I saw William Shatner.
This morning when I saw the DVDs, the first thing I thought about was Priceline. (“Priceliiiiine, negotiaaaaator!”) You’re welcome.
Games that pay you back
There’s a whole slew of video games at F.Y.E. with rebates, right now. Perhaps the Easter Bunny is thinking of leaving a really nice gift this year…? Who knows!
Check out the Wii games with rebates up to $20 back, as well as the DS games with rebates up to about $18 back. You do have to mail in for the rebates, so proceed at your own risk, of course… but this might be a cool way to snag a deal on something you were planning to purchase, anyway.
A nice long Friday
My children had early dismissal several days this week. It was with no small measure of glee that I shoved them out the door this morning, knowing they’d be gone the entire day. Is that wrong? Don’t answer that.
Really, I was just overcome with excitement about the Amazon Friday Sale. Honest. Stop looking at me that way.
Of course, my daughter will never be old enough to go to a spring dance (ahem), but if she was, I bet she’d love this little dress. And then we could have a fight about whether or not she should wear a cardigan over it. Yay!
I don’t have this Oster convection toaster oven, but I have one a lot like it, and I don’t know how I ever lived without it. I love the convection oven more than my microwave. To get an Oster for $75 shipped seems like a great deal, too.
Get a professional quality Anolon cookware set for $180 shipped. It kind of makes me wish I needed to replace all of my pots and pans, instead of just a few pieces.
These Egyptian cotton towels have mixed reviews, but for that price ($20.99 for a set of 6) I might chance it.
Wishing you’d picked up more Numi’s Flowering Tea sets around the holidays? Here’s your chance! They’re $12.50 today.
Oh, how I love Mr. Clean Magic Erasers. With Subscribe & Save, these come out to $16.74 shipped for 24 (about $.70 apiece). That’s cheaper than I can buy them in the store, and as long as I have children in the house, I will have a Magic Eraser stash. (Can I get an “Amen!”?)
Get 700 eco wipes for baby for $18.69 shipped with Subscribe & Save. It’s been a long time since I bought wipes, so I’m not sure if that’s a good deal or not, but it seems like it might be.
Don’t forget to check out today’s Friday Five, five MP3 album downloads for just $5 each. Today they’ve got a good batch of Girl Power going on—Ella Fitzgerald is up there with Madonna. That makes me laugh, for some reason.
Here’s to a great Friday!
The end there is a rhetorical question
So, today only (Thursday, March 26th, 2009), all Naturalizer shoes at 6pm.com are just $19.95. I took a quick look and there are hundreds of shoes from which to choose, some of which are really, really cute.
Does this mean that Naturalizer has gotten more hip over the years, or that I am now officially old and find ugly shoes adorable? (Don’t answer that.)
Trade in, save big
Did you know that you can trade in your old video games at Amazon? It’s true! And if you trade in before April 12th, 2008, in addition to your gift card, two games will get you $10 off and four games will get you $20 off select new releases.
Now; can I trade in the annoying games we own without the kids noticing…?
Cool or creepy?
I’m on the fence about this GE Designer PhotoPhone at Buy.com; on the one hand, an expandable DECT 6.0 (that’s geek-speak for “excellent range without static”) cordless phone combined with a 7″ digital photo frame for $49.99 seems like an awesome deal. And being able to assign pictures to the caller ID so that you can actually see who’s calling—even from across the room—is intriguing.
On the other hand, do you put in a picture of Beelzebub to come up every time a telemarketer calls, or what? Hmmmmm.
Pollen season is upon us
Well, it’s upon us here in the south. Maybe not so much up north, yet, but down here? Every day we wake up to a wonderland that includes a skim coat of yellow pollen on everything. The driveway, the car, the mailbox. Let’s just say I tell the kids to keep moving whenever they’re outside.
Last year was our first pollen season here, and I was delighted to discover that my child who’s allergic to everything was perfectly fine. I’d been warned of this—it usually takes a season to acclimate to new pollens, and then the following year the allergies begin. Still, I was somehow surprised this year when the poor kid started sneezing and scratching. It’s like he walked right out of one of those commercials: red, watery eyes; runny nose; little barky cough. Pitiful! So yesterday I went and bought him some generic Claritin. It cost $14 for 30 pills, which seemed ridiculous.
This morning I went straight to Amazon and confirmed my suspicion that this magical loratadine can be had much cheaper. For just a few dollars more, I can get 300 pills. Ten times as much for a couple more bucks, shipped free to my door? I’m in.
Another chance to ship it for free
Did you miss out on the last free shipping code at Lands’ End? Don’t worry—it’s like missing your train. Another one always comes along.
Through the end of March, use coupon code ACTION with PIN 7396 to ship your order free of charge, regardless of cost.
This is particularly handy when you’ve ordered something for the kids, and once it arrived it’s so unbearably cute you decide you need another one of whatever it was you got. Not that that’s ever happened to me.
