I’m dreaming of my spring garden
Nothing makes me happier than when it’s time to dig out my garden beds and start shopping for seeds and plants. I’m weird, I know. I’m okay with it.
Today at Amazon this Survival Seed Vault containing 20 heirloom varieties is just $14.99 shipped (if you have Prime or get to your shipping minimum), and this brings me joy. Snap it up now, and in a few months you’ll be pleased with your foresight.
(Assuming you keep a garden, of course. If not, um, probably skip this one.)
Aaaand… we’re back! Here’s a Wired deal
Everything went smoothly this weekend, so at this point the site should be… well, pretty much exactly the same, but hopefully a little faster. Yay!
Here’s a deal to kick off your week: Right now Amazon is offering one year of Wired All Access (that is, both the print version of the magazine and digital access) for just $5. That’s 96% off! I happen to enjoy Wired, anyway, but it’s one of the magazines we often buy to use for our vision board projects because they have all kinds of funky graphics. Even if you use it to line animal cages, it’s hard to beat 96% off the cover price.
The only thing to bear in mind is that this is an “auto-renewal,” which means that they’re hoping you’ll forget about it and end up renewing at the normal price. Don’t do that! Once you make your purchase, set a reminder for yourself to go into your Magazine Subscription Manager (bookmark it; it can be a little tricky to find, later) anywhere from a week to up to a year later to turn off the auto-renewal. That’s it! Very simple, and you save big without getting stuck, later.
Some site downtime coming up
Don’t panic, but due to a server migration, Want Not will be offline for a bit this weekend. It’ll be back, better/stronger/faster than before, so don’t freak out if you can’t connect for a day or two.
Thanks for your patience!
Are we past selfie sticks?
I don’t know if selfie sticks are still cool, or not, being fairly uncool, myself. (Also, my daughter was jonesing for one for months, got it for Christmas, and I haven’t seen it since. Sooooo… yeah.) If you wanted a selfie stick, though, you should definitely get a highly-rated one at a ridiculously low price. Like this Anker Bluetooth selfie stick, which is currently $13.99 at Amazon until you enter coupon code QYRMHSCT at checkout, and then it’s just $5.99.
I feel like everyone in the world who wants one of these already has one, but just in case you don’t, there you go.
In case you missed this backpack
I knew it would be back—if you missed it last week, Amazon has the High Sierra Fat Boy backpack on Lightning Deal again right now for just under $10. It’s only the pool/mercury/sunburst one, but hey, that looks pretty unisex to me, and that’s a killer price for a great oversize bag. Go get ’em!
Plug in everything
I’ve been stalking surge protectors for a while, as I want to make sure I send my kiddo off next year with at least a couple, and then the year after that my other kid will need a couple, and I’m going to need a moment to collect myself, actually, hang on. (Mah baybeeeeeeeees….)
Anyway, right now Amazon has this Belkin flat-plug 6-outlet surge protector strip marked down to just $7—its lowest price ever. We have several of these, already (I paid around $12 for them, I think), and I especially like the flat plug so that you can put them behind furniture.
I bought two. One for each teen. But they seemed a little confused when they came downstairs this morning and I told them they’re grounded for wanting to leave me.
Stock up on basics
There’s tons of items—everything from underwear to outerwear—on sale right now over at Hanes, plus you can get free shipping on any size order with coupon code AFF22FS.
I love these sales, because I can pick up new socks for everyone and a few sweats for the whole family and it ends up being crazy cheap for stuff I’m always buying, anyway.
Get a little nutty
If you never let a coupon for cashews pass you by (that would be me), hooray, Amazon just put up another 25% off Planters coupon. Combine it with Subscribe & Save for the best deal, of course.
I bought cashews—because that’s what I do—but there are four pages of eligible items, many of which are already marked down. Happy snacking!
May the dapper force be with you
I can’t stop laughing—check out this little boys’ shirt and Star Wars tie combo over at Amazon. Depending on the color/size you pick, they’re as low as $4.34 each.
They’re selling out fast, but, um, how deliciously nerdtastic would that be for Easter?
Another big Clarks sale
Love Clarks shoes? (I do. We all know I have a thing for shoes, and my Clarks continuously last longer and are more comfortable than many of the other brands I own.) Right now when you shop them online, there’s a bevy of clearance items where you can take an additional 20% off with coupon code WINTER. You’re looking at upwards of 70% off on some styles, which is pretty sweet.
Shipping is free. Comfortable, high-quality shoes are priceless.
