Bouncy, bouncy
I have zero desire to have anything even remotely like a bouncy house here on the premises, but that may be because 1) my kids are getting a little old for such things or 2) I’m a big meanie.
But you, well, you are probably one of those cool parents. Maybe the sort who realizes that for what it would cost you to rent a bouncy castle for Junior’s next birthday, you could just as easily buy one. Who knows? Choose from the Happy Time Bouncer & Ball Pit (60% off), or the Bounce ‘N Hoops or Mega Bouncer (each 50% off). They all have free shipping, which is a huge savings right there, because they weigh a ton. (Okay, not technically a ton. 40ish pounds.)
Good thing you’re nicer than me!
Don’t forget!
You didn’t forget about the Work It, Mom! gift certificate giveaways all this week, did you? Go enter today’s drawing if you haven’t already!
Best-named cloth diaper ever
Cloth diapering is better for the environment and can be better for baby’s skin, especially if he or she has sensitive skin issues. But the vast array of cloth diapering products can be difficult to navigate.
Here, let me help: Let’s pick the one that’s on sale and has the greatest name ever. Obviously.
I’m speaking, of course, of the Bum Genius cloth diaper. Great name, right? And on sale from Amazon for $12 apiece with free Super Saver Shipping available on $25+, plus this is one of those items where spending $25+ gets you a magazine subscription which you can refuse and then get $15 back, instead. That’s an awesome deal.
Do note that this is the 2.0 version, and there’s a 3.0 available (for more money, obviously). The styles are a bit different, and the 3.0 is supposedly “improved,” (has an insert design rather than an all-in-one design), but the reviews on the 2.0 are excellent and you can’t beat the price. Just make sure you understand what you’re getting and that you’re okay with it.
It’s that time again
Are you all out of discount restaurant certificates? Never fear! It’s time for another Restaurant.com promotion! Simply hop on over there and use the coupon code DISCOVER to take 50% off your order through October 12th, 2008. That means you’ll get $25 worth of dining for a cool $5, which means even normal folks like us can afford to eat out again. Awesome.
And because someone always asks when I post these: Yes, it’s for real. No, it’s not a scam. I have used Restaurant.com for years with no problems. Unless you count having extra money as a problem, that is.
I’ll try not to cry
A while back there was an awesome deal on an in-car iPod player that I didn’t post here; I bought one for my husband, and I didn’t want him to get wind of it, so I deprived y’all of the deal. I’m sorry.
Except that I’m not, because—while the deal I got was amazing, I thought—now the price has dipped unbelievable low. As in, much less than what I paid. As in, I’m trying not to be bitter.
So here it is: Check out the highly-rated Harman Kardon Drive + Play, now just $18.99 shipped from Buy.com. That price is insane. I’m not going to tell you how much I paid, before, but it rhymes with… bleventy. Sigh.
My husband uses his every day on the way to work, and in particular for design geeks who like the click wheel on the iPod, this is a nifty device because the “command center” is basically a click wheel on a joystick.
And at this price, they’re practically giving them away.
If this doesn’t get you holiday shopping, nothing will
Right now there’s various ways to get free shipping at Toys R Us; select items ship for free with your $49+ order, and some other items just have free shipping, period.
But that’s not even the good news. The good news is that it’s Friends and Family week! And we’re all friends, right? And don’t you have a family? Of course you do! So why shouldn’t you reap the savings? Just use coupon code 922600 through October 11th, 2008, to take an additional 20% off your purchase. [Edited to add: It looks like the coupon terms have been changed; a $75 minimum purchase is now required to use the coupon.] Some items are excluded (gift cards, iPods, video game hardware, diapers, formula), but it works on ‘most everything else.
It appears to work on video game preorders, even. Not that I checked, or anything. Ahem.
Waiting may have paid off
You know how I’ve been posting Halloween costume deals, and you’ve been scoffing and insisting that it’s not time to worry about that, yet? (Oh, wait. Maybe that was just me. Anyway….) Well, today may be your lucky day: Today (October 6th, 2008) only, shop the Disney Halloween Boootique and get free shipping on any size order with coupon code COSTUMESHIP.
Sale prices of up to 40% off are still in effect, too. And it’s officially October, so it’s no longer too early.
Pssssst. . . we’re doing it again
Remember when we were giving away gift certificates all week at The Daily Deal? Remember how much fun that was?
We’re doing it again! All week, each day you’ll have a chance to win a $25 Amazon gift certificate. Just ’cause you’re pretty. Go enter today’s drawing!
Cute Christmas stockings
Sure, I could just suggest that you start shopping early, and direct you to the Holiday Collections area at The Company Store and leave it at that, but that’s not how we roll, ’round here.
Click through that link, sure. There you’ll see that The Company Store regularly charges $25 apiece for their stockings (cute though they may be). Then, click on the Clearance link and check out the holiday clearance. Like last year’s cute stockings? $5.99 apiece, baby.
Make it even better: Use coupon code T8JFD to ship your order for free. I’d say that’s worth shopping for Christmas when it’s still 80 degrees outside, no?
Super Mario Sunday
Still on the hunt for Wii games? Circuit City is offering select Nintendo Wii games at 30% off today, including Super Mario Galaxy and Smash Brothers Brawl. And, um, some other games, too. I just happen to be a sucker for Mario.
(I think it goes back to playing Donkey Kong on my Colecovision as a child. You know, back when dinosaurs still roamed the earth.)
