Don’t blink — Wii Fit
According to the text message I just got from Amazon, Wii Fits are going to be available at 10:25 Pacific, 1:25 Eastern. Which is in about two minutes.
In my experience, they show up and sell out in the space of about five minutes. Get ready to click if you’re wanting one.
[Edited to add: Anyone get one? I saw it, clicked, and it was gone. Harumph.]
More Labor Day sale goodness
Wow, this is the sale I need to look away from. Too many deals! Too many things I want but don’t need! Um, closing that window now. But sharing, first, because I’m all about the sharing and maybe you actually need something.
Here’s the deal: Linens ‘N’ Things has a zillion Labor Day sale items (okay, maybe not a zillion, but a lot), and all of them have free shipping, too. Go ahead and use coupon code AUG2808 for 20% off one item, too.
I am not looking at those ice cream bowls again. Nope. Not looking.
Purses, purses everywhere
I can’t link directly to the sale section because the affiliate gateway is giving me a hard time at the moment (*shaking my fist at the computer screen*), but if you surf over to Target and work your way over to the Women’s Clearance? There are about 250 purses on sale for 75% off—many of them right around $5.
Thanks to the pretty Karly for letting me know. Target clearance is always a good way to start the day.
Buy yourself something pretty
It’s nearly Labor Day, and you know what that means—big savings at stores, because that’s what holidays are for, right? Saving money? (Wait… what? You’re kidding! Holidays are for celebrating things? I had no idea.)
Right now at Liz Claiborne, any alread-reduced item will reflect an additional 25% off if you put it in your cart. Plus, choose a coupon to make it better: Either LIZNEW0608 for 10% off any order or ENTER25 for $25 off $125+.
Shipping is free on $125+ orders, automatically.
Be forewarned: Sizes are limited, so be prepared to persevere. (You know, in the name of the holiday. What? Oh. Right.)
Because nothing’s better than a breezy cat
… or something.
Look, I don’t have a cat. I’m allergic to cats. I don’t particularly like cats. But I hear that if you have a cat, this Tidy Cat Breeze Litter System is pretty nifty, and it’s currently marked down to $19.99 (half price) and is eligible for free super saver shipping. Check the box to “Subscribe & Save” and you can save another 15%, making it just $16.99. (Cancel the subscribe after it ships, if you like.)
So, um, enjoy… you people who enjoy animals who pee in a box.
Shoe-doo-loo
I know, I know—another shoe deal, you’re thinking? I’ll make you a deal: When stores stop offering great deals on cute shoes, I’ll stop posting about them. Mmkay?
But the thing is, my kids are already back to school, but maybe yours aren’t, yet. And when there are deals on the brands kids love—and so many kids needing new shoes for school—really, posting this stuff is a public service. I’m just trying to help. Ahem.
Anyhoo, check it out—6pm has new specials going on, like all Adio footwear is now $19.95, and all Skechers footwear is now $24.95. It’s the kind of sneakers your kids insist are cool, at prices you can tolerate.
(Well, not me. My kids still think anything over $15 is too much for shoes, but then, I started brainwashing them early.)
Middle of the week
Hey hey hey, it’s Wednesday! (That rhymes, but isn’t as much fun to say as, “Hey hey hey, it’s Faaaaaat Albert!”) (Note to self: slow down on the coffee.)
Don’t forget the JC Penney Wednesday Deals. They have some nice ties in there, available in extra-long, too, if you happen to have an extra-long guy (I do, and finding ties for him is positively annoying).
More free shipping — today only
Sorry not to get this one up sooner, but, well, I just found it. Heh.
Until midnight tonight (Tuesday, August 26th, 2008), get free shipping at Lands’ End using coupon code ONEDAY and PIN 00008268. As always, check the Overstocks for the best deals.
I was looking at rain boots for the kids (it’s pouring here today!), but there’s actually a decent selection of snowboots in the Overstocks, if you live somewhere you’ll need ’em and feel like shopping ahead.
2 Cool 4 School (or full price)
Did you happen to notice that Threadless is having a back-to-school sale? All shirts normally $15 – $22 are just $12 each. The new(ish) Threadless prints are just $25 each, too, if those are more your speed.
I don’t know that anyone is ever going to accuse me (or my kids) of being too cool for school, but we do love Threadless Ts. Heh.
Mindful Money: Debt and retirement
I got to thinking the other day when I posted about IRA contributions, and I realized we’ve never really hashed out the whole matter of paying down debt vs. saving for retirement, here.
And lord knows that many, many people—who are actually, you know, financial experts and not just incurable tightwards such as myself—have discussed this in greater detail, but I’m going to take a stab at the Want Not summary of this issue. Just for fun. And because, if nothing else, I hope it will motivate anyone who has questions or concerns in this area to do the research and commit to a plan.
So I’m going to give you a few general tips and hopefully somewhere in there we’ll hit upon something good. Heh. read more…
