Free breakfast!
Through 2:00 p.m. today, stop by (almost) any Denny’s Restaurant and get a free grand slam breakfast. There are two locations refusing to participate in this promotion, which sort of cracks me up. Perhaps their owners are Arizona fans…?
If you like Denny’s and you can take advantage of this freebie, awesome. Please do remember to tip your server based on what your meal should’ve cost, though.
(Once upon a time I was a waitress at Denny’s. It’s not the worst job I ever had, but it was very, very close.)
Hey, baby. . . food
Let me preface this by saying that I know it’s not that hard to make your own baby food. I used to make my own, and I certainly recommend that if you have the time/wherewithall to do so. But sometimes you need jarred food even if you’re June Cleaver, and that’s where this deal comes in:
Right now Amazon is offering Earth’s Best baby foods on sale, plus you can use coupon code EARTHBE3 to get another 15% off, plus you can sign up for Subscribe & Save to get another 15% off and free shipping. The end result is a lot of baby food a lot cheaper than you can get it at the grocery store.
For example, this rice and lentil dinner 24-pack comes out to about $.63 a jar. Under a buck for organic baby food? Nice.
Bunk up!
Anyone in the market for a pair of bunk beds? How about this simple pine set for $185 shipped?
I strongly suspect that’s a price mistake. But wouldn’t it be lovely if it wasn’t?
(We had a set like that when my kids were little. The main advantage is that the top bunk makes an awesome first-bed-after-the-crib for a toddler, so long as you set it up on the floor as a regular bed. The railing is ideal for keeping a squirmy kid from falling out. It’s sort of a mini baby-jail.)
Britax markdowns make me say moo
I guess I just don’t love my kids enough, because I never had a Britax carseat when they were little. I put them in inferior carseats because I am cheap. I hope they won’t need too much therapy to get over it. Anyway, if you have a baby or a toddler you likely know that Britax is pretty much the carseat safety gold standard.
Right now Amazon is doing a Britax Sale, so in addition free shipping and the sure knowledge that you’re a better parent than I am, you’ll also save around 20%. And—if you’re a little like me—they’ll also make you say moo. (C’mon; cowmooflage is the greatest pattern name ever.)
All the data storage you need
My first computer didn’t have a hard drive. I thought I was pretty cool, in fact, because it had two floppy drives. I was stylin’.
Nowadays everyone has a hard drive, and flash drives, and a back-up drive, and I’ve yet to ever hear anyone say, “You know what? I really think this is more storage than I need.” More storage is more security and more funny-faced pictures of the kids, and that’s always A Good Thing.
Today at Buy.com you can pick up the Fantom G-Force 1TB hard drive for just $99.99 shipped. Seriously, one terabyte of storage. For under a hundred bucks.
That’s crazy.
Touchdown!
Did you watch the big game last night? Oh; no matter. Even if you didn’t, you can hop on over to Shoebuy.com and use coupon code SUPER to take 20% off your order. Shipping and returns are always free, of course.
I think this would be a great way to celebrate your team having won! Or a great way to comfort yourself because your team lost! Or just a wonderful way to give yourself an affordable little reward for putting up with your husband yelling at the television all night.
See, it really is super (and flexible).
Saturday deals
Goooood morning! We have absolutely nothing planned for today. Ahhhhhh.
Scoping out the deals online? I have a few ideas for you….
Today is the last day for all of the January grocery deals at Amazon. There will be new deals tomorrow, of course, but if any of the current deals are calling to you, today’s the last day to get ’em. (Psssst! The Honest Foods Cran-Lemon Squares are back in stock, and the coupon glitch means that coupon code HONESTFD will get you one box for free when you order just one box. Do it via Subscribe and Save to get free shipping, too—your order will total $0, and my kids have been eating up these bars like they’re chocolate cake.)
Lands’ End is running a new promotion on tops—save $7.50 on 3 select Lands’ End Women’s Tees, Polos or Turtles through the end of March. Of course, seeing this special made me wonder if there was a current code for free shipping… and there is! Use coupon code MENS with PIN 6724 to get free shipping on any order.
It’s time for another Super Saturday at Kohls! Today’s the last day for Kohls card holders to use coupon code MVC9496 for free shipping on any order (stack it with code EXTRAKC15 for another 15% off, too), and there’s automatic free shipping on orders of $75+ for everyone.
The Winter Wrap-Up Sale is on at Altrec, if you’re wanting your ski gear for next year.
Taking a trip? This weekend Overstock is offering an extra 5% off all luggage through that link. (Insert your own “Yes, I’m taking a trip—my kids are driving me crazy” joke here.)
Gearing up for Valentine’s Day, or just realizing that maybe bras aren’t supposed to last for ten years? You can shop Bare Necessities and get free shipping on your $75+ order, automatically. Plus, it’ll make you feel even prettier.
Speaking of Valentine’s Day… I think we’ll be having a special contest later on. Hmmm. Yes, I think we shall. Something to get you in the Valentine’s spirit, perhaps. Check back later….
Goodbye, January!
Yeah, I know there’s one more day in January. But I sort of like the concept of seeing the month out with an Amazon Friday Sale. It seems fitting, somehow.
I’ve been looking for a retro dinette set like this for my kitchen, but I need a round table. Why isn’t the table round? Amazon is taunting me. (For what it’s worth, I think that one’s a great deal due to the free shipping, alone.)
Oooohhhhh… very shiny! This KitchenAid food processor is down to $139.99 shipped, plus there’s an available $15 rebate. I used to be a total Cuisinart devotee for food processors, but the KitchenAid is as good or—though it pains me to say this—maybe even better. And definitely shinier.
I’m not a scrapbook kind of person, but my understanding is that this here Cricut cutter is something of the holy grail amongst scrappers. Today’s price of $164.99 is lower than I’m able to find it anywhere else, too. (Though, really, maybe I’m missing the point, but I really believe it should also prepare a four-course meal at that price, too.)
I know it doesn’t feel like it’ll ever be summer again, but I promise that someday it will be, and then you might want something like this Suncast storage bench to put your pool toys in. Oh, wait. That’s me, who wants it for the pool toys….
Who’s a good boy? Who’s a good boy? Who wants to chew on a duck? That’s right, you do! Good boy! (Warning: Hartz is not responsible for your dog’s need to perform emergency squeakerectomies on plush toys.) (On the up side, it’s eligible for the 4-for-3 promo, so you can pick up a few spares.)
Although saying “portable oral irrigator” makes me feel dirty, $25.99 is a great price on this, and it’s a very handy item for kids in braces. Not that I would know anything about that. (“Mom, I’m saving that for later in case I want a snack.”)
Need party favors for tween girls? How about some Skittles-flavored lip smackers?
Get 360 Bounce dryer sheets for $17.99, or sign up for Subscribe & Save to get them for $15.29 shipped (shipping is always free on S&S items). You can cancel your subscription after your order ships, so it’s risk-free. And that’s a lot of dryer sheets.
Don’t forget to check out the Amazon Friday Five, too—five MP3 albums available for just $5 each, today only. (They’ve even got a Depeche Mode album from 2006; I had no idea they were still around.)
And with that, I’m ready to say goodbye to January. Don’t wake me up, tomorrow, mmkay?
Clearanced clearance, again
Here’s something I never thought I would say: I am very nearly tired of Old Navy and their recent slew of deals, but here we are again. (I know. It was weird, saying that.)
Nevertheless, they’ve added more items to the clearance section and are offering an additional half off those items with coupon code—you guessed it—HALFOFF. These sales typically mean stuff sells out quickly, so make it snappy if you’re planning to shop. [Edited to add: The coupon apparently only works on clearance items with prices ending in 99. Sorry for any confusion.]
(I was just kidding, Old Navy. I love you! Don’t be mad!)
Love Clarks? Check this out!
I own a single pair of Clarks boots, and they are the most comfortable shoes I own. Sometimes I whisper sweet nothings to them when no one is around. Don’t judge.
Anyway, the advantage of Clarks shoes is that they do tend to be incredibly comfortable as well as well-made, but the disadvantage is that you don’t always want to have to sell a kidney to buy a pair. But if you love Clarks, now’s your chance to make good:
Right now at Amazon, there are over thirty different styles of Clarks on sale, already. The great deal comes into play if you’re buying multiple pairs; if you spend $80+ on Clarks, you’ll automatically get $20 off. And if you spend $125+ on shoes, you’ll automatically get $25 off. Which means that if you spend $125+ on Clarks offered by Amazon, you’ll get $45 off at checkout.
I’d say more, but I have to, um, go look at shoes do something important….
