Mooooo!
It seems like Amazon only offers deals on that single-serve Horizon milk during the summer. (That may not be true, but it seems that way. Like last year when I ordered some really cheap but then it arrived on a day when it was 102 in the shade, and when I called Horizon to ask if the milk was still okay, they told me to throw it out. So.)
But look what I just discovered—they’re running a special on Organic Valley milk boxes right now! Packs of 24 are marked down to $25, plus you can use coupon code VALLEY55 to get another 20% off, so you’ll get 24 boxes of organic, aseptic milk for $20 (that’s about $.83/box).
It’s not the cheapest thing I’ve ever seen, but it’s not bad at all for shelf-stable, single-serving organic milk. Plus, you know it won’t be out roasting on a UPS truck somewhere if you order it now.
I’d probably buy it for my kids if I was a nicer mother.
Final clearance that’s really clearance
Remember when Linens ‘N’ Things announced they were closing and that everything was on clearance, and how that “clearance” was, like, 15% off?
That was sort of dumb.
But now (how many months later?), now they’re really having everything on clearance. Remaining inventory is all 50% to 75% off original prices, and so now is the time to scoop up a deal or two.
Just keep in mind that everything is Final Sale, at this point, so don’t buy anything you’re not positive you won’t want/need to return.
You know what I’m going to say
Sometimes I think I’ve become a little too predictable, ’round here.
So, yeah, you might want to know that this SwissGear computer backpack is a steal for your college student (or yourself) at $27.99 shipped (72% off!), and that it’ll hold up to whatever your gear dishes out, and all of that. And the fact that it has an airflow system (fancy!) and special pockets and stuff is cool, sure.
But I am not going to make a joke about how it would be cooler if knife blades folded out of the straps. Nope. Not gonna do it. See? I can change.
Lightning storm trooper
I know, I know; the kids have plenty of toys right now.
But if you have a pint-sized Star Wars enthusiast on your hands, go check out the current Toys Lightning Deal at Amazon—it’s a Star Wars Clone Trooper voice-changing helmet for $18.50.
The next lowest price I see on that is $29.99 at Target. Quite the deal, if you can get in on it. And don’t mind listening to the result….
Get Suave, for free
Want a coupon for a free full-size Suave skin or haircare product? Go get one!
Offer is good today only, and it looks like coupons will need to be used pretty much immediately—my confirmation said I’d receive it in 2-4 weeks and would expire on February 28th, 2009. But for a completely free product, I think I can probably make sure I make it to the store by then.
(Thanks, Denise!)
Football and popcorn, like America and apple pie
I don’t really want to talk about the Super Bowl this year, because I’m a Patriots fan. ‘Nough said, there. Hmph.
But maybe you’re gearing up for a day of football and snacking, and furthermore, maybe you have one of those $20 Dale and Thomas Popcorn gift cards laying around, still, from back when they seemed to be a bonus with just about everything. If that’s the case, you may want to visit the site and click through to that Ultimate Football Party Tin being featured right at the top of their front page, there. It’s enough popcorn for 25-30 people, and if you pre-order it today, you can use coupon code PIGSKIN to ship it for free.
Granted, I’m unlikely to spend $45 on popcorn… but with a $20 off code and free shipping? It might be a good way to soothe the pain of not having a team to root for this year.
Even crazier prices at Crazy 8
You know how I love a good sale at Crazy 8. Love. And I’m sitting on my hands, right now, because my kids are well-outfitted for now and even have stacks of next-size-up clothes waiting in their closets. But maybe you need a few things for your kids…?
If so, check out the further markdowns on hundreds of adorable items. Shipping is always just a flat $5, and you can use coupon code FREE10 to take $10 off your $30+ order.
Also, be impressed that I typed this while sitting on my hands. My nose is really tired.
New year, new code
Just like death and taxes, you can count on coupon codes from Restaurant.com. Except that the coupon codes are a lot more enjoyable than death or taxes.
Through January 19th, 2009, use coupon code EXCLUSIVE to take 60% off your purchase; that means you’ll get a certificate for $25 worth of dining for just $4. Which means you can scarcely afford not to check it out. I mean, you can probably get a sitter for the leftover $21. If you offer her good snacks.
You got your Woot-Off in my LL Bean
You know that heart-pumping adrenaline rush you get during a Woot-Off? (Okay, maybe that’s just me…?) Now you can experience something similar (albeit without the wacky product descriptions) over at LL Beans Hourly Markdowns (click on the “Limited-Time Savings” link). It’s a new product every hour, for… well, a while. “A limited time,” if you want to get technical about it.
Many of you have emailed this to me, and I was waiting to post it because I was hoping to find another free shipping coupon to post along with it, but I still haven’t found one. So you can have the deals, but pay for shipping. (Or, if you have a Bean credit card, shipping is always free.)
Look at LL Bean, getting all funky and hip. And markdown-y.
New Balance for the whole family
Need new sneakers, either to get on your new fitness regime, or because the dreaded Growth Spurt Monster visited your kids this month?
Today (January 13th, 2009) only, New Balance Zip 8508s are on sale at 6pm.com for just $24.95 (plus shipping, which is $6.95 per order) until 9:00 p.m. Eastern time. They’ve got styles for men, women and kids, so the whole family can be stylin’ in no time.
I have a dilemma, because I have a kid who needs new sneakers and I generally try not to let the kids have nicer sneakers than I do. But I don’t need new ones.
(I realize this is the right sort of dilemma to have, I’m just sayin’.)
