Eat well, save big
The closer we get to the end of the month, the better the coupons for Restaurant.com get. Now’s the time to snap up some certificates!
Through June 30th, 2008, take 60% off your Restaurant.com purchase with coupon code MEALS. But wait, because there’s more! You also get a year’s supply of turtle wax!
Oh, wait. That’s something else. But wait, because you really do get something more—using the code takes 60% off, true, which gets you $25 of dining for just $4, but it also gets you another $10 certificate… which means you’re getting $35 of dining, in all, for just 4 bucks.
It doesn’t get much better than that. I mean, unless someone else is picking up the tab.
There’s nothing better than cheap books
(No, not even cheap shoes!)
Many of you have emailed to let me know that there’s tons of clearance books at Barnes and Noble right now. Oooooh, how I do love a good (cheap) book. I see some of my favorites, there, so don’t worry that this is only the crummy books no one wants. Good stuff to be had.
Remember that if you get up to $25 in your cart they’ll ship for free, and you can also use the following coupon codes:
A8P8N9P — 25% off a single item (new customers only, expires July 2nd)
U4K3E3U — 15% off a single item (expires June 29th)
X4H8W9U — 20% off a single item (BN members only, expires August 5th)
Oh yeah, it’s O-Day
Once again, ours is not to ponder why O-Day lasts for three days, ours is but to enjoy the savings….
Today (June 23rd, 2008) through Wednesday (June 25th) is O-Day at Overstock, and that means you can enjoy $1 shipping and 5% off all non-media items automatically through that there link. And because it’s more than one day, you have plenty of time to figure out what to use it on.
Because I’m all about keeping the counter clean
I have an entire array of cutting boards. It’s something of a sickness. But using the cutting boards means my counter stays clean, so I like that. Also I like having one board I use for breads, one for meats, one for veggies… stop looking at me like that.
Anyway, this one isn’t likely to be museum-quality or anything, but it’s free, and probably useful: Get a free flexible cutting board here.
If you don’t like it, well, then I guess it was worth exactly what you paid for it.
Load up on Nintendo DS games
I think my kids probably already have plenty of games for their DSs, but it’s hard to tell because the cartridges are so small. I mean, they’ve got these carrying cases for them that are smaller than my purse, but appear to hold the console and 40 games or so. Who knows! But maybe you’ll find this useful:
For a limited time, Toys ‘R’ Us is offering Buy 2, Get the 3rd Free on Nintendo DS games, and many of them have free shipping. Choose right and you could really clean up with some great deals.
Unless you’re a big meanie like me, of course, who never buys the poor deprived children any video games. Poor things.
It’s beginning to look a lot like (cheap) Christmas
Do you have a special set of tableware and associated decorations that only come out for the holidays? Amazon has a bunch of Pfaltzgraff stoneware
Tip: Consider buying some plates or platters, now, to give cookies on as teacher gifts. You’ll look like a big spender, and I promise not to tell.
A little pillow talk
If you missed the Dream Supreme Plus Gel Filled Pillows the last time they were on sale, good news! They’ve been marked down to just $15.25 for a pair.
If you already bought them—say, when they were $19.99 for the pair—don’t forget to drop a note to Amazon’s customer service to ask for a refund of the price difference. As long as your order was shipped within the last 30 days, they’ll give you a refund.
Saturday deals
I am going to finish painting today or burn the house down. It could go either way. But one way or another I am going to finish this thing. (I feel sort of like Rambo, saying that. Too bad I’m talking about paint instead of dealing with bad guys, huh?)
Here’s some deals for those of you who aren’t spending the day painting:
There’s a big clearance sale at Lee Jeans going on until the end of the month.
This weekend you can take an additional 10% off Patio and Garden purchases at Overstock through that there link.
Free shipping is back at Lands’ End! Through June 26th, 2008, use coupon code CANOE with PIN 530553085 to ship your entire order for free. (Need some guidance? Check out the Under $10 Specials and/or the Kids’ Summer’s End Savings Event for the best deals.)
Buying something at Toys ‘R’ Us? Take $5 off your $25+ purchase either by printing out a coupon or using the code through that there link, today only.
Shop PBS is offering a special discount on The War: A Ken Burns Film this summer—get the entire 6-DVD set for $74.99 (discount shows once added to your cart). This one is an ideal gift for war history buffs (not to mention a great price).
Through June 25th, 2008, Eastbay is having an online tent sale, plus you can use coupon code LKS18EF6 to take an additional 20% off your order. Think about what sports gear the kids will need in the coming year and buy now while everything is cheap!
That should keep you busy for a while. Unless you want to come help me paint…?
If I see paint on sale, I’ll scream
Let’s have a look at the Amazon Friday Sale before I have to go back and do some more painting, shall we? (The painting is almost done. I think. I hope. Please, dear lord.)
This is an awesome little grill for those in close quarters, like if you live in a small apartment with an even smaller deck. Or if you’re only cooking for one or two people.
Now that we’re getting wood floors, do you think I should get a couple pairs of these cleaning slippers for my kids? I think it’s time they started earning their keep around here.
It’s a weather forecaster and atomic clock all in one. If only it could pick out your clothes for you, it’d be the perfect morning companion.
Need a sewing machine?
Taking everyone and their bikes on vacation this summer? Don’t forget the bike hitch!
Trying to eat healthier, but not willing to give up the delicious taste of bacon? I love that Amazon is now selling bacon salt. (My husband got me some of this for my birthday last year, and we use it all the time. Especially my son, who would cheerfully eat an entire pig at every meal, if only his mean mother would let him.)
I love these bar stools and would consider installing a bar just to have a place to put them. Is that wrong?
Fabulous wedding gift alert! (I love gifts that say “swanky” when you really didn’t pay that much.)
And don’t forget the Friday Five, five MP3 albums for just $5 each. This week they have everything from opera to Sinatra to folk.
And now… back to painting….
Free shipping = less gas
I’ve always loved a free shipping bonus while shopping online, but with the current cost of gas I have to say that now I sort of consider it the Holy Grail. I’ll calculate out how much it would’ve cost me to get out to the store and back, and then I cackle a little bit to myself about how I saved both the cost of my gas and what they would’ve charged me to ship it, normally. And then I feel very pleased.
Anyway, through June 22nd, 2008, you can use coupon code WXH3619 to ship your entire order at Coldwater Creek for free. Why, it’s practically like they’re paying you to shop (particularly if you’re shopping in the Outlet). Enjoy!
