Good deals for new customers
VistaPrint wants you! Yes, you! If you’ve never ordered from them before, now’s the time to make good: New customers get free shipping on $25+, plus 25% off everything, through March 3rd, 2009.
I’ve used them a bunch for the free or nearly-free products, but if you’ve been meaning to order business cards or stationery or whatever, this may be the deal for you. (As long as you’re a new customer. Or have a new email address. Oops! Did I say that out loud?)
Roast beast for under a buck
Today (February 26th, 2009) is Customer Appreciation Day at Arby’s—they’re selling their regular roast beef sandwiches for $.99 each. Go ahead and find your closest Arby’s to take advantage of the deal, if you like.
Hopefully you don’t have a vegetarian in the house who will think nothing of asking how you would like being roasted. (Last night we had fish for dinner. My daughter insisted on putting her ear to the pan to “see if they go gurgle gurgle glub glub.” When they didn’t, she called me a murderer. Good times.)
How badly do you want the deal?
This sort of deal pains me, and I think I’m admitting defeat.
Sometimes when a site has a big sale, their servers just can’t handle it. So, you might want to know that today Dillard’s has marked down their clearance an additional 40%, but their website is so slow and error-riddled I gave up trying to buy anything.
Maybe you’ll have better luck.
Savings on Aisle 5
Have you checked your Drugstore.com coupon offers today? I notice they’ve got quite a few for things like Zyrtec and Claritin, and I know it’s only February, but the pollen is already starting up again here in Georgia.
Now when I say “there’s something in my eye” I’m probably referring to a pollen molecule the size of a cricket. You’re welcome for the visual.
Oh yeah; there’s other stuff on sale, too. And I didn’t even sneeze on all of it!
Shipping is free on your first $25+ non-prescription order, plus there’s an entire section of free shipping items that will always give you free shipping on your entire order.
Cook for a crowd
If you’ve gotten yourself a snazzy new set of Calphalon thanks to a Friday Sale —I know a bunch of you have—you might be feeling like your cookware needs are complete, except that you still need a nice big roasting pan for those special meals.
Look no further! Amazon is offering the Calphalon One Infused Anodized Dutch Oven Set for under $47, with free shipping.
That gets you the 10-quart dutch oven, pot holder, wooden spoon, and coordinating kitchen towel. The shipping weight on this is eleven pounds, so yeah, it’s not cast iron, but it’s pretty substantial.
This would be a very expensive-looking wedding gift, or just a great, versatile, long-lasting piece to have for your own kitchen. I’ve recently discovered the awesomeness of roasted soups (roasting ingredients in the oven to release the flavor, then later bring the pot up onto the stove to add final ingredients and finish it), and I use my Giant Pot (as I call it) all the time. Yum.
Mo’ Mozart, Mom
Feeling like you need a little more classical music around the house? Why not download The 99 Most Essential Mozart Masterpieces for just $3—this would be perfect for the iPod of a child who insists that he simply cannot do homework without music.
Now, how you’ll get him to listen to this instead of, um, other stuff… well, that part’s up to you.
Heap up the savings, today only
You know I love a good free shipping code for Lands’ End, but sometimes you want to buy something there that’s pricier… and then it’s a better deal to pay the shipping but get a percentage off.
Maybe today’s your day: All day today (Wednesday, February 25th, 2009), you can use coupon code SAVE20 with PIN 00002138 to take 20% off your order. And right now outerwear is already 20% off, so combining the sale with these additional savings will get you 36% off, which may well outweigh free shipping.
Plus their new raincoats are so cute I’m seriously considering getting one just for the adorable factor. Even though I, you know, live in an area that’s currently in the worst drought for the last 100 years. Details.
This one’s for the girls
Well, for the women here, but also for their girls, if you know what I mean, and I think you do.
Hanes is having their Semi Annual $9.99 Bra Sale right now, through March 1st, 2009. All bras are—you guess it!—just $9.99, and orders of $75+ always ship for free. So you can get yourself some new bras and pick up some socks for the rest of the family.
Stick with me; I’m full of good ideas.
Chewy!
Keep in mind that I have two kids in various stages of orthodontia, so I would rather poke myself in the eye with my orthodontist-emptied wallet than avail myself of this deal, but…
… today only purchase the Discovery Bubble Gum Factory for just $1 at the Discovery Channel Store. Tomorrow it’ll be back up to $20, but today, well, you could be a hero to a gum-lover near you.
Just, um, keep it away from me and mine, mmkay?
Tis the season. . .
… for big sales on kids’ stuff at Target.
Right now get free shipping plus 15% off your $125+ purchase on kids’ furniture, plus if you click over to toys you’ll see that there’s a ton of stuff being clearanced. Shipping may get you on those toys, though, so you’ll just have to put things in your cart and see what they want to charge you to ship. (With many items 75% off, it may still be worth your while.)
A friend and I were just lamenting, the other day, that our gift closets are rather depleted after a season of birthday parties. Thank goodness for Target clearance!
