Saturday deals

Goooood morning! If you have the need to bargain shop, this weekend, I’ve got you covered.

Right now there’s a big Amazon grocery clearance event going on; use coupon code AUGMKDWN at checkout for 40% off already-reduced prices on thousands of items. This is the time to stock up on staples! (Yes, it’ll take a while to go through all the choices, but the savings are worth it.)

This weekend at Overstock, take 10% off office chairs through that link, or take 10% off all memory foam through that link. $1 shipping all weekend, too.

Over at Domestications, take 20% off any single item with coupon code D8X20ITEMA, all weekend long.

Macy’s is having a one-day sale, today. Unusual, I know.

All weekend long, VistaPrint is offering 50% – 80% off lots of popular items.

It’s Family and Friends Sale time at LaneBryant.com! Just use coupon code 000409308 all weekend long to save 40% on your entire purchase.

Feel free to buy me something pretty—it’s my birthdy tomorrow. (Just kidding.) (Well, it is my birthday tomorrow, but you don’t have to get me anything.) (Unless you really want to.) (Kidding!)

This Friday, I deserve a prize

My kids have officially completed a week of school, and no one’s lost an eye (yet). I think I deserve something pretty from this week’s Amazon Friday Sale, don’t you?

Maybe I’ll finally get that fancy compost container I’ve been wanting. Yes, I’m a fancy gal. (And I know it’s frivolous. That’s the point.)

Still need cookware? Check out this KitchenAid set for $129.99 or this Calphalon set for $149.99. (Ooooh, the Calphalon 12-quart stockpot is on sale, too.)

Y’know, I’m sure that this ice cream maker is fabulous and all, but if it’s a “bargain” at $499 I still submit that eating gold leaf would be cheaper. Just sayin’.

I know what they were going for, but I still think that calling it the Biggest Loser scale is kind of a bad marketing move. I know, I know; it comes with a workout DVD! I know. Still. Maybe it’s just me.

Wow… it turns out that there just aren’t all that many things in the sale today catching my eye. I suppose I could drown my sorrows in the Friday Five, because an entire album for $5 is still a great deal. Let’s see. Amy Winehouse? Ummm…. Oh! Graceland! That’s better. (Yes, I’m old. Hush.)

I hope you’re all having a great Friday!

Phor Phisoderm phans

(See what I did there? I am so funny.)

I’m a big fan of Phisoderm products—speaking as someone who is still acne-prone well into my 30s—but I don’t always love the price. Imagine my delight to discover that nearly all Phisoderm products are on sale at Amazon right now. Buy two and you can use coupon code AUG8ACNE to take an additional 25% off your total, too.

Here’s the best deals:
Deep Cleaning Cream Cleanser, 6-pack, for $10.29 (66% off)
Unscented Skin Cleansing Bars, 8-pack, for $15.81 (50% off)
Anti-Blemish Body Wash, 3-pack, for $9.49 (46% off).

All of those prices are before the coupon. Go forth and, um, be less zitty, I guess.

Origins makes the world more perfect

No, really, Origins has this line of products called “Perfect World” and as long as your world is limited to the surface of your skin, I think it works out.

What?

Anyway, place any order at Origins through Sunday, August 17th, 2008, and you can use coupon code 08082LS to receive free shipping and a complimentary sample size of Perfect World For Eyes.

I keep my Origins samples on the corner of my bathroom counter and lovingly mete out tiny little dabs of them when I need a pick-me-up. Liquid gold! Perfect or not, it’s good stuff.

007 from start to finish

The last time this deal came around was back in December, but just in case you missed it, it’s back again: Buy the James Bond Ultimate Collector’s Set today at Amazon for just $95.99. That’s forty two discs in all—21 movies and 21 discs of bonus features. A Bond-lover’s delight!

It’s the Gold Box Deal of the Day, so assume the price will be going back up again tomorrow.

Golf, anyone?

The very pretty Summer wrote in to alert me to this deal: Amazon has the Accu-Length Expandable Junior Club Starter Set available in various varieties for as little as $32.78 depending on which one you pick. They have both left- and right-handed, as well as both girls’ and boys’ available.

I don’t golf (I know, you’re shocked), but apparently this is quite a steal. Thanks, Summer!

Taking lunch without filling the landfills

The lovely Melinda writes:

I enjoyed your post on nut-free lunches, and I have a concern that is sort of a tangent to that one. I’ve recently become aware of my un”green” lifestyle and am trying to make some changes. I started thinking about the little baggies that I pack everything in for lunch and did some quick math: if every one of the 900 kids at our school threw away three baggies with every lunch, the school trash would have 13,000 baggies per week. Over the course of a year, that would be nearly half a million baggies! In my family of four kids, we’re tossing at least 2,000 of those suckers a year just by ourselves.

So, in my angst I’ve been looking for alternatives. These Laptop Lunches are super cute, but spendy. And look at the cute meals all these people make on this Flickr Pool!

Have you got any great ideas for something similar: small, reusable, cute, hard to throw away? The Ziploc and Gladware containers seem too big and I want something that fits together neatly.

Thanks in advance for the pretty thoughts coming from your pretty brain.

Melinda’s email made me hang my head in shame. Hi, my name is Mir, and I… I… I am a snack-size-Ziploc-aholic.

Melinda’s right, though, so I got to thinking. read more…

Don’t show this to my son

Granted, there’s probably not a kid left in the world who doesn’t own a Nintendo DS, but just in case….

Nintendo is releasing the Nintendo DS Limited Edition Pokemon Pack on August 17th, and if you pre-order it from Amazon for $129.99 you can potentially save $20 with coupon BMLGAMES and their Bill Me Later service. (Psssst! Don’t really want to be billed later? Buy yourself $110 worth of gift certificates, first, then sign up for BML and choose it as your payment method, but apply your gift certificates towards your purchase. The coupon will work, and you’ll pay the balance.)

This isn’t an inexpensive item, but if you were considering a DS for Christmas and/or if your kid is a Pokemon nut, this is a decent way to get your hands on the special edition and save a few bucks, too.

They seemed to go together

Hey, as long as I’m posting deals on girly things like PMS medicine, I might as well toss this one out there, too: Through August 18th, 2008, take $10 off your $35+ order at Illuminations with coupon code 999201384.

Because you probably need some candles to put around the bathtub while you take a bubble bath and marvel at the wonder of being female, or something.
