Wiis in stock at Amazon
In case anyone is still looking, I just happened to check and Amazon has Wiis in stock right now.
Of course, by the time I post this, they’ll probably be gone. Heh.
Coincidentally, I just ate a “Now and Later”
(My children’s bags of Halloween candy really need to not be sitting out on the kitchen counter….)
Listen, I know that with Thanksgiving right around the corner, not a lot of us are thinking about eating out. I get that. But when you buy certificates at Restaurant.com, they’re good for an entire year. So don’t let the timing deter you! Because right now, you can use coupon code HARVEST to take 60% off your certificate order and get a bonus $10 certificate. So for your $4 outlay you get $35 worth of dining.
Maybe you’ll use it next week; maybe you’ll use it next month; maybe you’ll use it next year. But you’ve probably got $4 in change in your couch right now. Just sayin’.
Luke, I am your stocking stuffer
Who doesn’t want to find Darth Vader in their stocking on Christmas morning?
Okay, well, sure, most people don’t, but many short people, childish people (say, actual children! or husbands!) do, and so for them, I give you this:
It’s a fabulous little Darth Vader figure with commemorative coin and coin folder for just $3 shipped.
And it will allow you to make geeky Star Wars jokes all Christmas morning. That’s priceless.
My fellow curly-girlies (and others)
I have curly hair. I have really curly hair. And yesterday for a chunk of the day while I was not here posting deals, I was having my first cut/color in the last six months or so. Us gals with curly hair know that finding a stylist who actually knows what to do with curly hair is a rare and beautiful thing, indeed.
I think I found such a person, yesterday. Although for some reason, she didn’t want to come home with me. I have no idea why not.
In addition to giving me a great haircut and covering up the gray in my hair (woo!) and using products on my hair that smell like angel wings wrapped in flowers, this stylist ironed my hair stick straight for me, which is always a treat, because I don’t own a flat iron.
After the appointment, though, I desperately wanted to be able to recreate what she’d done, so I wrote down everything she told me and came home to do some research. read more…
Webkinz and other holiday stuff
I have no idea if Webkinz are still hard to find around holiday-time—I suspect the demand has backed off, somewhat—but I did happen to notice this morning that CompanyKids has a huge section of items shipping for free, including a big assortment of Webkinz. So if there’s one in particular you’re dying to get, this may be worth checking out.
There’s lots of other stuff shipping for free, too, including a bunch of Missmatched girls’ items (socks, undies, some clothing) which are so cute it hurts a little.
Today (November 12th, 2008) only, you can use coupon code T8KFTN to save an additional 15%, too.
Oh, right, you want some deals
Wow, um, it’s nearly dinnertime. Today completely got away from me—I apologize. And here you’ve been, lurking around, just wanting a deal tip or two! And I’ve been neglecting you. And rhyming. (By accident.) Tomorrow will be better, I think. In the meantime, let’s just pretend today never happened.
But if you’ve been hoping for a new free shipping code for Lands’ End, you’re in luck! Use code GIFT with PIN 4928 to ship your entire order for free, regardless of size.
(That almost makes up for the fact that I got a parking ticket this afternoon….)
Be even prettier, with Pulsonic
Regular readers will recall that I gave away an Oral-B Pulsonic a few months ago. It was one of my most popular contests, probably because we all get told by our dentists that we should be using sonic toothbrushes for maximum dental benefit, etc., but those of us who are terminally cheap are loathe to spend the dough on one.
Well, if you’ve been wanting a sonic brush, now’s the time to get it: Amazon currently has the Oral-B Pulsonic on sale for $43.62 shipped, and Oral-B is currently offering a $15 rebate. $28.62 for a highly-rated sonic brush is… well, that’s really good.
I’m pretty sure your dentist would approve.
Are you down with down?
Today is the last day of the big Eddie Bauer Down Event, which means that if you want to scoop up a fabulous lightweight vest for $20 off the normal price, today’s the day to do it.
I never had a piece of down clothing before about a year ago—I’m allergic to down, so I figured I couldn’t wear one. But it turns out that trying to sleep with my nose pressed into a down pillow is really different than just wearing a down jacket (which turned out not to be a problem at all). And I was astonished at how warm it is, without bulk. Why didn’t anyone tell me? Oh, wait. Maybe they did. Whatever.
Make the deal even sweeter: Coupon code STHLVGNV8 will give you 15% off and free shipping, too.
Print all the photos you want
So maybe you went ahead and got yourself a fancypants photo printer. You thought you were pretty slick, huh? But then you realized how much photo paper costs, and suddenly you were feeling decidedly less slick.
Sorry about that.
Hey, good news! Right now at Buy.com, you can snag 100 sheets of 4×6 photo paper for just $5.99 shipped! That should keep you going for quite a while.
Just, um… keep the paper out of reach of children. Ask me how I know this.
Mmmm. . . no corn syrup!
I have been systematically cutting high-fructose corn syrup from my family’s diet, lately, and wow is it astounding how many places it hides. Goodness. Now, I do a lot of my own baking, so for the most part, I can easily make some of the items that tend to be the worst offenders.
But oh how my children miss Nutrigrain bars. And truthfully, I miss them, too—they’re an easy snack for them to grab, and it’s not something I can easily replicate.
But the organic fru-fru bars tend to cost about $5/box, and I don’t miss them that much.
So I was just poking around on Amazon and found these Nature’s Choice Multigrain Bars on sale. If you sign up for Subscribe & Save, they’re $30.75 for 12 boxes; that’s about $2.56/box, or roughly half what they cost at my supermarket.
Not only are they corn syrup-free, they’re also wheat-free and completely vegan. That makes them an ideal snack for kids with food allergies, too.
Now, which flavor do I order? I’m leaning towards cherry….
