It’s a little sneaky, but it’s awesome
Do you have Amazon Prime? If you do, this one is not for you. Also, if you’ve had Prime in the past, this is also not for you. This is for folks who have never had Amazon Prime before.
If you don’t know what Amazon Prime is, it’s a paid upgrade, basically, that entitles you to free 2-day shipping regardless of order size on thousands of items sold by Amazon. Even though I do a lot of shopping on Amazon, I’ve never signed up for it. I just couldn’t justify the $79 for the year.
But I just signed up, and here’s why: Right now, you can get 3 months of Amazon Prime absolutely free
Now, I ask you: What is three months from today? That’s right. Christmas Eve. Your holiday shopping just got a whole lot less stressful.
It’s Frah-nk-in-SHTEEN
Today’s Gold Box Deal at Amazon is The Mel Brooks Collection on DVD. That’s eight fabulous Mel Brooks films for just $39.99, and if you don’t think Young Frankenstein is one of the greatest comedies of our time, well, I don’t think we can be friends anymore.
(Unless you prefer Blazing Saddles. I might allow that.)
You probably have a penny in your couch right now
My local grocery store does this “penny item” promotion each week. Spend $10+, and get their “featured item” for a cent. I always buy it, no matter what it is. Why wouldn’t I? It’s only a penny!
So you can imagine my excitement when I discovered that Drugstore.com is doing a penny item promotion this week. Except, this one is way cooler than my local grocery store—there’s an entire list of items from which to choose, and there’s no minimum purchase necessary. Only one penny item per account, but still. It’s just a penny! You probably needed some stuff from there, anyway.
(It’s possible I’m a little too excited about this, but c’mon. It’s Wednesday. You can get something for a penny. Just humor me.)
You have nice assets
Guys, look away for a minute. Please. Just for a minute. Okay, thanks.
Ladies! Ever tried the Target version of Spanx? They’re called Assets, and you can get a free pair here.
Not that you need them. You look fabulous, dahling!
Hooray, I’m hungry again
The nice thing about all of the coupon codes for Restaurant.com is that no matter how often you use them, chances are you’ll get hungry again eventually. See how fortuitous that is? So even though I probably just posted one of these a couple of days ago, here’s another one. You’re welcome!
So, take 60% off your purchase at Restaurant.com with coupon code FALL, through September 30th, 2008. That’ll get you $25 worth of dining for just $4. If you’re unmoved by that sort of deal, well, I don’t think I can help you.
Ship it free for me
It’s that time again—Eddie Bauer is offering free shipping on all orders, today and tomorrow, using coupon code FALLSHIP8. That’s the good news.
The bad news is that it doesn’t work on clearance items. Boo. But it does work on sales/specials. So you could still score a deal.
(Hey, I don’t make the rules, I just report ’em.)
Wait, is it Thursday?
I thought that Woot-Offs were always on Thursdays. Maybe not.
Kiss today’s productivity good-bye, anyway.
Mix it up
Have some room in your gift closet? This 10-piece glass mixing bowl set is the perfect generic wedding present; it’s useful for anyone who cooks, and it matches any decor.
The fact that it’s currently under twelve bucks (60% off!) and eligible for the 4-for-3 promotion can be our little secret. I’ll never tell.
Smoking is gross
Sorry, I should probably strive to be more Southern about things like this (“Bless your heart!”), but yeah, smoking is gross. Quitting is where it’s at, both for your health (and the health of those around you) and so that people like me will stop razzing you.
Quitting can be really hard, though. And if you pursue pharmaceutical assistance, that can be expensive. (Though probably less expensive than cigarettes.) (Whoops! There I go ahead.) (Bless my heart!) Anyway, if you’re thinking about quitting, or you’re in the market for a passive-aggressive stocking stuffer for a smoker you love, check out Nicorette White Ice Mint. Watch the video on that page (it’s a minute long) and you can get a 20-piece starter pack for free.
The retail value on that is around $15, I think. But quitting smoking? That’s priceless.
More savings at Old Navy
Did you miss the savings at Old Navy this weekend? Don’t worry—there’s still deals to be had.
(As an aside, has anyone else noticed that when they have a big sale, they seem to immediately sell out of nearly everything? My recollection of the “big denim event” was that you were all set as long as you wore a size 0 or 24, but nothing in-between.)
Anyway! Through September 25th, 2008, use coupon code shopnsave to save $10 off your $75+ order, plus get free shipping. It looks like they’ve restocked on many items, so this could be your chance to get whatever you missed (or they didn’t have) this past weekend.
