Educational. . . well, mostly
Right now at the Discovery Store, all of their DVDs are on sale, some up to 75% off. There’s a whole bunch that are 5 for $20, too.
I was all set to extol their educational value, but there’s things like Deadliest Catch in there, too, so maybe not. Still, even crab fishing is a preferable alternative to watching the news, no?
Free shipping on $75+, automatically. You could be done with your holiday shopping before Independence Day, people.
Spare bed in a backpack
Been looking around for an Aerobed? How about one that comes in a handy backpack for just $38.79 shipped?
A camping mat would be smaller/easier if tenting is the main intended usage, but if you frequently host sleepovers or just want to have an extra bed around to use in a pinch, this is a pretty good deal.
Did someone say barbecue?
The July crop of Amazon grocery deals has arrived, and you know which one immediately caught my eye, right? Red Bone Alley spice rubs and aiolis. Mmmmmm mmm mmm.
They’re already marked down, and coupon code REDBONE2 will give you an additional 40% off. I say you pick a rub and pick a complimentary sauce, then place your order knowing that at less than $4 a pair, delivered, you’ll have some to use at home and the rest ready to go in gift bags to keep you in hostess gifts for the rest of the season. Score!
Discounted Mabels Labels
Regular Want Not reader Lee is an agent for Mabel’s Labels, and she wanted me to let folks know that right now she’s offering a 10% discount on orders.
If you haven’t tried Mabel’s Labels yet, what are you waiting for? I’m using them on the things my kids try the hardest to lose (backpacks, jackets, water bottles), and despite plenty of wear and tear those babies do not come off. I think they’re made with magic. And possibly superglue.
Savings by Leaps and Bounds
Good morning, and welcome to July. Those of you wondering where June went, please form a line to the rear… right behind me. Hmph.
Let’s start off the month with a bonus coupon on kiddie stuff. Right now you can use code KIDS15P at either Leaps and Bounds or code BABY15P at One Step Ahead to save 15% on your $100+ purchase.
It’s not too useful if you’re just picking up little stuff, but if you’re making a big-ticket kid purchase, you may find it handy.
Enjoy, and let me know if you figure out where June went.
Celebrate independence with quilts or something
Our founding fathers would’ve approved of a well-made bed, I’m sure of it. So hop on over to Domestications, because today (June 30th) is the last day to use coupon code D8FJ15AFF to take $15 off your $100+ order. There’s a ton of new inventory in the clearance section to celebrate the upcoming holiday.
They have more than quilts, of course. All kinds of, um, domestic stuff. Check it out.
Buying the right cookware
Lovely Jess writes:
My husband and I married two years ago and just pooled our vast collections of cookware into one set (giving away a lot of unnecessary cookware that was duplicated) that had pretty much everything we needed. We are now at the point where our “set” has become a bit worn out and is less useful that it previously was. We are looking for a new set that has the basics (skillets and pots of varying sizes–with lids, which is important to us), but we don’t know where to look for a good deal or what brands have a tendency to last the longest. We aren’t willing to spend hundreds and hundreds on a set just yet, but we also don’t want to buy something that will wear out in just a few short years.
Do you have any recommendations on what to buy—and where to look for a deal?
This is one of my favorite topics, because I love to cook and I (of course) love finding great deals on cooking essentials. Jess is speaking my language! read more…
Making up your own will, for free
Many thanks to pretty, pretty Jill for alerting me to this one: If you go to Suze Orman’s Will & Trust Kit site and enter code people first, you’ll get a free activation code. Then you can download her kit and make your own will.
I’ll add just one caveat: This is better that not having a will. Better still, though, is getting some actual legal advice, too. Just sayin’.
Calling Joss Whedon fans
Sure, you’ve got the entire series of Buffy the Vampire Slayer on DVD, but do you have the Firefly boxed set?
4 DVDs: $16.99 (and free Super Saver Shipping eligible).
Being able to claim ultimate Whedon fan geekitude: Priceless!
Deals to wear under there
Remember how your mother said never to leave the house in ratty underwear, because what if you were in a car accident or something? You’re mother’s neurotic, but you still deserve nice underthings. Particularly (men, look away) nice bras, with functional elastic. Most women I know cling to old bras as if they were too precious to give up, and I am here to tell you that it’s okay, you’re allowed to buy new ones. Really.
Anyway, there’s a big Summer Sale at Figleaves right now, which means you can score some great deals on underthings, swimwear, and maybe even some lovely loungewear.
Make it even better: Ship your order for free with coupon code ADORE. Maybe put the savings towards a little something you don’t need so much as just want. Just a suggestion, of course.
