Another way to rock out
I’ve got Guitar Hero and Rock Band on the brain… I’m sure you haven’t noticed. Or that you’ve been too nice to say anything about it. Ahem.
Anyway, check it out: Circuit City currently has the Guitar Hero Legends of Rock bundle for just $59.99 (for reference: it’s currently $89.99 at Amazon).
Make it even better—it’s Friends and Family week, and you can use coupon code 8MAJTZLA9L for an extra 10% off! That’s $54 shipped to your door. Nice.
Big digital picture frame deal
It’s both a big deal and a big frame. See what I did there? (Note to self: Have some more coffee. Or possibly less coffee.)
Anyway, check out this this 10.4″ LCD picture frame from Genius at Buy.com. At under a hundred bucks (and free shipping) it’s just about the best frame deal I’ve seen in a while.
Then again, I’m probably the last person in America not to have a digital frame, yet. My life is hard, y’all.
Contests, contests everywhere
It’s not that the contests I run here on Want Not aren’t totally awesome, of course, because who doesn’t need a game or a DVD or the occasional higher-ticket item sent to them by a harried mother in Georgia? But it turns out that I didn’t exactly invent the contest thing, and some folks online are giving away bigger stuff than I can manage. Check ’em out:
Kimberly-Clark is offering the Rock Your School sweepstakes, wherein you stand to win 100,000 boxtops for your school (people! that’s $10,000!!) plus a school concert by Jordan Pruitt, Disney Radio star. If you’re a parent or legal guardian of a child in grades K-8 you can enter every day through September 15th, 2008. If you have a child in school, go enter!
How does a new car sound? Saturn cordially invites you to Kiss My Astra—no, really—and win your very own Astra. Just submit a photo of yourself kissing an Astra. I know, it’s wacky. But I’d do it for a car, wouldn’t you? (Hey, Saturn! Any time you want me to give away a car here on Want Not, let me know!)
Old Bay Seasoning is offering folks the chance to a $5000 backyard party, and I’m thinking that would be an awful lot of shrimp. Just sayin’.
Do you love author Brunonia Barry? Could you love her in exchange for a fabulous vacation? Sign up for her AuthorTracker and you could win a fabulous Salem, MA weekend getaway.
I love the smell of free stuff in the morning, don’t you?
Hurry up if you want in
Today (July 24th, 2008) is the last day for the giant summer clearance at Coldwater Creek, so I went scurrying around to try to find y’all a better coupon code than the 10% one I posted last.
Oh, how I toiled! How I slaved! How I— oh. You just want the code? Okay.
Use coupon code PXA3420 to take $25 off your $100+ purchase.
Now go hurry up and shop before the sale ends. You’re welcome!
Better late than never, right?
Hey, I could be further behind today, but I’m not sure how. It turns out that this morning I got an email telling me that today (July 23rd, 2008) only, you can get free shipping at Puritan’s Pride using coupon code TAFF08.
They’re still doing the 3-for-1 sale on vitamins, so free shipping is pretty nice icing on that cake.
Apologies for not getting this one posted earlier.
Pssst! Prime money!
Have you signed up for Amazon Prime, yet? If not, you’re in luck: Go sign up right now and in addition to all the great benefits of Prime (free 2-day shipping on nearly everything, regardless of order size), you’ll get a free month and a $10 certificate to use towards anything you like.
Don’t want to pay the $79 for a year of Prime? No problem—just cancel before your month is up, and you’ll have had a free month and the $10 certificate at no cost.
Big savings, free shipping
The Lands’ End Summer’s End Savings Event is on, and the only thing better than those slashed prices would be if you could ship your order for free.
Oh, wait! You can! Just use code INSIDER and PIN 534534534.
I’ll just be over here, averting my eyes from the plethora of cute kids’ clothes. I’m pretty sure I just bought those ungrateful little people a bunch of stuff.
Cheap coffee for your Senseo, maybe
I’m still waffling about this deal, because the reviews are mixed, but I’ll just put it out there and let folks decide for themselves.
Right now at Amazon, Timothy coffee pods are on clearance. They’re marked down to either $12.50 or $15 for 2 25-packs. Buy two (4 boxes worth, or 100 pods) and you can use coupon code CLRANC78 to take another $10 off, making your total $15 or $20, depending on which variety you purchase.
These pods are thicker than the Senseo ones; read the reviews before you buy, but it looks like you can use a single Timothy’s pod where you would use two Senseo pods in the larger basket.
Free stuff and fun clearance
Hey, remember VistaPrint? The place where we all got free business cards back in the day? No? Well, they’re still at it—right now they’re doing a Summer Clearance Event wherein you can just pay shipping on all of the usual freebies (business cards, pens, return address labels), or pay drastically reduced rates for other items, like personalized notecards.
Really, I have no idea how this place stays in business. They can’t possibly be making any money. Oh, well. More cute, cheap stuff for us!
In case you’re stocking up for school
Oh, I know most of you don’t start school again for a solid month (or longer), but I’m in full back-to-school mode, over here. We only have two weeks left.
Last night I stocked up on underwear, socks, and undershirts—all of which were already on sale—at Kohls. (For the kids, silly. Mine don’t seem to wear out quite so fast!) Now at least when my kid gets a wedgie, the underwear hanging out of his pants will be clean and new. Ahem.
Today’s the last day Kohls cardholders can use coupon code JULYSAVE15 to take 15% off your total order, plus use coupon code MVC3267 for free shipping. Not a cardholder? Well, today’s the last day you can at least get free shipping with your $75+ order, plus use code NEW1082 for 10% off.
There’s plenty of stuff in the clearance section, too. But it seems like every year I hit Target before school starts only to find they’ve sold out of half the sizes; this was a great way to get that particular chore out of the way without even leaving my desk.
