Saturday deals

I’ve just survived a slumber party. Be gentle with me—my ears are still ringing.

If you’re shopping online today, I still think you’ll want to start with the Amazon grocery clearance I posted last night, even though stuff is selling out quickly. Great deals to be had.

For those lamenting that the Friday Sale television deals weren’t quite cheap enough, check out this red alert deal at Overstock: The Sony Bravia 37-inch LCD TV is down to $749.99. Plus, the Overstock Weekend Deal is 10% off camping and outdoors. (For if you decide to skip the TV and go fishing, I guess.)

The Winter Clearance Sale at Macy’s wraps up this weekend, so get on over there before it’s over.

The free shipping on any order promo is still going on at Puritan’s Pride, if you need to get some vitamins. Or supplements. Or any of the other things they sell there.

I know we were all just scooping up the clearance items at Old Navy, but now new arrivals are 30% off this weekend only. Woo!

If you’re shopping Kohls today, I believe everyone can use coupon code GETEXTRA15 to take an extra 15% off everything! Shipping is automatically free on orders of $75+, and Kohls card holders can use code MVC5286 to get free shipping on any order.

Is it time for my nap, yet…?

Stock up time!

Amazon is doing another grocery clearance—hundreds of products are already marked down and will then be discounted an additional 40% with coupon code DISCNT4O. Lots of awesome deals to be had, if you’re willing to dig a little.

(Me, I’m stocking up on these all-natural cereal bars I told you about last month. My kids have completely demolished the case I bought!)

It’s hard to type with crossed fingers

The last couple of Amazon Friday Sales have been, well, underwhelming. I am hoping against hope that things are different, today. Let’s have a look.

Oooohhh… well, it certainly starts off nicely. Choose between a Samsung 46″ LCD HDTV for about $1300 shipped or the 52″ version for $1700 shipped. Great reviews on those sets, and still completely out of my price range, but maybe for someone who’s been saving their pennies and looking for the right deal. (I figure you really can’t even put a price on the hassle the free shipping saves you, because me, I’d go buy one of those, wedge it into my car, and then hit a pothole and end up cracking the screen, or something. I’m lucky that way.)

Here’s another laptop backpack, down to just $20 in black.

The only problem you’re going to have with these Enzo Angiolini riding boots is deciding which color to get. I love that riding boots are hip again and not everyone has to totter around on a 4″ heel if they want knee-high boots. And if you hit the right size/color combo, these New Balance running shoes will be under $31, shipped.

I still think this Calphalon set is a steal at $149.99. Don’t let the mixed reviews frighten you; if you’ve been cooking on Teflon your whole life, switching over to pans which aren’t non-stick is going to be an adjustment. (Here’s a tip: Buy some olive oil!)

Need a wedding gift? It’s hard to beat a Mikasa crystal vase for $17.99 (you look like a big spender!), but it’s also part of the 4-for-3 promotion, so if you take advantage of that, it might end up even cheaper (or free).

I absolutely love this storage bench. Not only is it under $120 shipped (and for an item that weighs 60 pounds, that’s a steal), but it has split seating: You can slide to one end and remain seated while someone opens the other side. Brilliant.

And finally, if you don’t mind having your retinas somewhat seared… I… ummm… don’t even know what to say about this. (Erin Go Bragh, maybe?)

Don’t forget to check out the Friday Five, five MP3 albums for just $5 each! This week features artists from Blondie to Ludacris. Did I ever tell you about the time I had dinner with Ludacris? Because I totally did. He’s a complete gentleman—he didn’t call me a socially maladjusted dork at all.

It controls everything but your kids

Need a universal remote control? One of those super-fancy ones that works on everything? I’ve never understood why people are willing to shell over over a hundred bucks for one of those things, but then again, I also think it’s not that hard to just get up and touch the actual TV, so there’s that.

Anyway, the lovely ImposterMom just pointed out this Philips Universal Remote at Buy.com that’s marked down to just $29.99 shipped. I have no idea why it’s so cheap, but it sure beats the alternative….

(Wait. Do the $200 ones control your kids, too? Because I might pay for that.)

Deal of the day, every day

Have you been checking the Deal of the Day at Drugstore.com? They’re still offering several great deals, every single day.

Remember that there’s two ways to get free shipping on your non-prescription order (and stock up on things you’d be buying anyway): Your first order of $25+ gets free shipping, automatically; or if you add any of the featured “free shipping” items to your order, everything ships for free along with it. (To see those items, click on the “free shipping” banner at the top of the page and then follow the link.)

Today’s deals include $5 off a Gillette Fusion razor, making it just $2.99. Not a bad little deal if you were needing to stock up on shampoo and stuff, anyway.

60 hours of entertainment

I love mystery/crime shows, I’ll confess. The suspense! The action! The dark drama! It’s possible that I need to get out more often. But how can I resist something that’s been called “the best show no one is watching?” Especially when that show is an entire series based upon a single murder investigation? I’m intrigued.

Yes, today’s Amazon Gold Box Deal is the complete DVD boxed set of The Wire, the critically-acclaimed HBO series. At 67% off, you get 23 DVDs filled with 5 seasons—60 hours worth—of entertainment. It comes out to around $3.50/disc.

I don’t know if you find out whodunnit at the end or not. But I’m blown away by the reviews; this sounds like one of those best-kept-secret kinds of shows.

Will 15% make it all better?

Once upon a time, TJ Maxx had a big data breech and a lot of people’s credit card information went places it wasn’t supposed to. Oops! This was bad, but not bad enough to cause me to stop shopping there, because I love me some TJ Maxx.

Following a class action settlement, TJ Maxx is offering 15% off everything today (January 22nd, 2009) at their family of stores. This includes TJ Maxx, Home Goods, Marshalls, etc.

I doubt 15% off will be of much comfort to people who had their credit card numbers leaked, but it’s sure nice for the rest of us….

Bigfoot strikes again

Didn’t I just buy shoes for Flipper my kid? I think I did. Guess whose feet grew. No, really, guess! (Isn’t preadolescence a wonderful thing? I mean, for the shoe and headache remedy industries?)

If you need shoes, too, you have through the end of the month to shop the sale items at Shoes.com and use coupon code WINTER9 to take an additional 20% off their already-reduced prices.

And then, allow me to suggest buying the next size up as well. If there’s a child living in your house, Bigfoot may just be coming to visit. Trust me.

Whip your home office into shape

I started off the new year by doing a thorough cleaning-out of my office, and it felt great. Two weeks later it looks like a cyclone hit, but, um—where was I going with this?—baby steps. Ahem.

If you’re getting organized at home (even if you don’t have an office), now would be a great time to take advantage of some of the free and $1.99 deals at VistaPrint. Maybe you’re ready for some business cards. Or maybe you need more return labels. Maybe there’s a rubber stamp you’ve been wanting, like the one that said PAID that you think would be hilarious to stamp on your kids’ foreheads every time they whine about something they want.

Okay, maybe that last one is just me. But there are lots of options; check ’em out. Buy one of the $1.99 items and you’ll automatically get 25% off anything else you purchase, too. It’s a great time to get organized!

Groovy Nuvi price

I own a GPS unit that doesn’t have text-to-speech; that means it tells me to “turn right” or “bear left” but doesn’t speak street names, which occasionally drives me slightly insane. I want one with text-to-speech because I consider myself pretty far to the directionally-impaired end of the spectrum, and as such I really need all the help I can get. (Sad, but true.)

So I’m sitting here with my finger hovering over the “buy” button for this reconditioned Garmin Nuvi 260 at Buy.com. It has text-to-speech, not to mention a sleek, lightweight design and great ratings. And at $119.99 shipped it’s the lowest price I’ve seen on a Nuvi.

And I’m sure my husband would love to be able to keep the other GPS unit in his car. I mean, really, I’d be doing this for him.
