Everything’s better with robots
I’m all for the kids playing the traditional board games of yore; heck, if it was good enough for us, those ungrateful little brats should be happy to have them! Oh, wait. Just kidding! They’re not brats. They’re our future. And a lot of the time, they think board games are boring.
One of my favorites was always Risk, and I think that with this Transformers version of it I could probably get my son to play. Or maybe I could just stock up my gift closet, because at $7.50 a pop, that’s a good item to have on hand.
(Don’t forget that $25 eligible toy purchases make you eligible for a $15 Cookie magazine rebate, too! More savings!)
Office Depot deals galore
Oh, Office Depot! You are so delightfully wacky, with your various deals and offers. Why, I can get a deal on a new chair or take 50% off bankers boxes or buy three cases of paper and get one free. All of which sounds pretty good, I have to admit.
And then, on top of that, I can use a coupon: 77242882 for 10% off or 17302226 for $20 off $100 (both of these exclude technology), or I can go through this link for $30 off $150+. Those are also great.
But I have to say, the pièce de résistance is definitely how I can use coupon code 58226915 to receive a $15 off a Butterball Turkey coupon with my $100+ order. That’s… pretty special, right there. Because everyone knows that office supplies and mashed potatoes go great together. Yes.
I probably should’ve posted this first
So, with the last post having all of those gratuitous Ps in it, I probably should’ve done this O-themed post beforehand. Alphabetical, you know. Apparently I’m not smarter than a 5th grader. Or even a kindergartener. Shhhhh, don’t tell.
Anyway, it’s currently O-Day at Overstock.com, which means that if you go through that link you’ll automatically get 7.5% off of everything except media, and that’s so exciting that have to call it O-Day, even though it last for most of a week. (I don’t make the rules, okay? I just report on ’em.) O-Day goes through October 27th, 2008, so, um, I hope you have lots of extra Os. Or something.
Make it a perfect Princess party!
Having a princess party? Having a princess sleepover party? Do I have something for you!
Check out this Princess Pillowcase Coloring Party Pack, everything you need for eight princess-loving girls to color their own princess pillowcases! It’s a simple craft and a perfect party favor. And at $15 shipped, it’s a lot cheaper (and easier, and keepsake-i-er, if that was a word) than a goody bag filled with plastic junk.
It’s perfect for pretty princess parties, people. Promise!
Be the house with the water park
There’s been a recent… I don’t know if I would call it a scandal, really, though uproar is not far from the truth… anyway… issue about Bonzai products and how they apparently Photoshop their product images to make them look much bigger than they actually are. Check it out.
However, folks are reporting that the Sidewinder Blast (which is currently down to 54% off with free shipping at Amazon) is actually pretty big—plenty big enough for multiple children to play on and love. And if that’s true, that’s a pretty sweet price for a whole lot of summer fun, right there.
Of course, I don’t need one of those because my idea of entertaining the kids in the summer is to throw popsicles at them and lock them out of the house. (Just kidding! I always hand them the popsicles.)
Special shoe savings, today only
Have one of those kids who excels at outgrowing their brand-new shoes two weeks after you buy them? I can’t save you from having to buy more shoes, but I can tell you that nicknaming said child “Flipper” will make you feel a little bit better.
Also, if you need shoes today, for one day only, Famous Footwear has over a thousand clearance items, plus you’ll save an additional 25% on ’em with coupon code 1022SALE. Shipping is free on three or more pairs, and just $4.50 on one or two pairs. You may be able to pick up what you need, there, on the cheap.
And that’ll keep you going until the next growth spurt.
Go Woot-Off, it’s your birthday
Well, I don’t actually know if it’s Woot’s birthday or not, but they are having a Woot-Off today.
For those of you unfamiliar with the Woot-Off, it’s when a new item is offered every fifteen minutes or so. I suggest you don’t click over for a look unless your schedule for the day is pretty clear—you may snap up a fabulous deal or two, but it can be addictive, watching for the next bargain.
This is a particularly good place to shop for that relative that you never know what to get. Trust me, something weird and wonderful will present itself today over at Woot.
Yep, Halloween is really next week
Still scrambling for a costume? eToys has free shipping & 30% off selected Halloween goodies through October 23rd, 2008 (that’s tomorrow), and there’s still time to ship ’em without paying extra for rushing.
In unrelated news, if anyone who’s really good at sewing and cashing the checks my mouthiness wrote about “making a costume,” please come on over. Soon. Thanks!
Buy more, save more
The end-of-season sale at Old Navy is still going strong (and by “going strong” I mean “appears to have plenty of items left, even though every shirt I was considering was available only in XS or XXL”), and through October 22nd, 2008 (that’s tomorrow!) you can save even more with coupon code GETMORE. That’ll give you 15% off your $75+ order or 20% off your $100+ order.
(But it will not make that cute shirt come back in stock in your size, darnitall.)
More Bakugan
Ah, so, apparently it’s not just Bakugan that our kids need. No. That would be too easy. According to my son, there’s also the coveted Bakutins.
The tins are news to me, but apparently they come with special super-secret ultra-wondrous Bakugan you can’t get, otherwise, and so they’re selling out everywhere. Already. I’m keeping my eye out for them in stock somewhere for less than a semester of college tuition, but in the meantime you might be interested in the Bakurack, which is currently marked down to $18.61 (free shipping eligible) at Amazon.
I’m sure my kid wants one of those tins, but he may just have to settle for the Bakurack. Which, honestly? I think is a lot cooler. You can remove a 3-Bakugan holder from the main apparatus and clip it to your belt! Woo!
Okay, shutting up now.
