You know what to do
I hope you weren’t planning on getting any real work done today… there’s a Woot-Off going on.
Sorry.
(But not really. If I’m going to be sitting here hitting refresh all day, you should, too. Obsession loves company!)
Fly, fly away
Do you have trouble getting up in the morning? Do you need that perfect under-$10 gift for a gift exchange? Do you enjoy being passive-aggressive?
Look no further than the flying alarm clock for $9.99 shipped (at Buy.com) for all of these needs. When the alarm goes off, the top flies away—and the alarm won’t stop until you find it and put it back.
What a dreadful device.
I can’t wait to give it to several people I know….
Ready for another batch of sale toys?

Will add more as I find them….
Resistance is futile
So I keep trying to tell myself that I don’t need anything else at Eddie Bauer, and every time I think I’ve finally walked away, they come out with another coupon.
Like now.
Use coupon code PERFECT for 30% off and free shipping on your $50+ order. Sure, they still charge you that weird $3 handling fee, but it’s a lot easier to swallow, this way.
Though it does make it harder for me to stop shopping. Hmph.
If visions of Kodaks dance through your head
‘Tis the season for great bundle deals on all sorts of wonderful little gadgets, and today one of those awesome finds is the Kodak EasyShare Z1085IS at Best Buy. It’s a 10-megapixel, 5x zoom point-and-click camera with image stabilization, and not only is it marked down to $99.99 with free shipping (see reduced price once you add it to your cart), you’ll get a 4GB memory card for free with it and be eligible for $50 off a companion printer, if you like.
For comparison, the same camera (without the memory card) is currently $185 at Amazon.
That’s my kind of deal. If I wasn’t married to a photographer with a closet full of cameras, anyway.
Savings for right now
Geez, and I thought the one-day-only coupons were bad. I mean, they’re good, of course, but frustrating if you miss ’em. And now Kohls is taking it even further, and offering a coupon that’s only good for a few hours!
Well, if you want to shop there right now (or until 4:00 p.m. Eastern today, anyway), use coupon code TICKTOCK15 for 15% off your order—it works for everyone, not just Kohls card holders. Shipping is free on orders of $100+, or Kohls card holders can stack code MVC9588 for free shipping on any size order.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: I wish I knew how to quit you, Kohls.
Great deals, and free certificates to boot
The good news is that Restaurant.com is currently offering 70% off dining certificates with coupon code ONLINE, which means you can get $25 worth of dining for just $3. You probably have that much sitting inside your sofa cushions right now!
But the better news is that Restaurant.com is also doing something called “Feed It Forward” every day until Christmas—you can send 3 $10 gift certificates to whomever you like, every day! (Thanks for letting me know, Jessi!) If that’s not enough to get you to click through and check it out, I don’t know what to tell you. It doesn’t get any better than free.
Blu-ray bundle savings
Before anyone asks: No, I don’t have a Blu-ray player. I don’t have a fancy television, either. In fact, I’m just happy I’m not still watching VHS tapes. I’m a little slow when it comes to adopting new technology. Ahem. But, um, I hear that Blu-ray is really cool and everything. Now excuse me while I go adjust the antenna on my black-and-white console TV
But if you’ve been thinking about going Blu-ray this holiday season, check out this Blu-ray deal at Amazon—buy the Samsung player, pick 8 movies to go with it and save $200. Basically you’ll end up with your ~$200 player and 8 movies for around $160 or so. Which seems like a pretty smokin’ deal.
A deal on City Folk
Right now Amazon has the brand-spanking-new Animal Crossing City Folk for the Wii marked down to $29.98 (40% off) as part of their 15 Days, 15 Deals video game promotion. This is the game, not the bundle (the bundle includes a microphone, too), but it’s still an incredible price on a new release.
Animal Crossing is my kids’ favorite Nintendo DS game, and they’ve already started begging for this for the Wii. Unfortunately for them, I’m a great big meanie (and I’ve already finished shopping). But maybe your kids will be luckier.
In case you feel like getting Lost
No, no! I don’t mean you should leave! I meant if you’re looking for the series Lost, just in case you—like me—somehow never started watching it, and then it was all anybody ever talked about, and you started thinking, “Hey, maybe I’d like to watch that,” but then you realized there was no way you could just jump in and start watching it from the middle, and so you gave up and resigned yourself to life as a social outcast.
If that sounds familiar, check out today’s Gold Box Deal at Amazon—seasons 1-3 of Lost, for $58.99 (67% off)!
That’s 21 discs worth of finding out what the heck everyone’s talking about. It probably won’t make me cool, but it might make me a wee bit less tragically unhip. Close enough.
