I am NOT LOOKING
Twice a year, Hanna Andersson has a giant sale, the likes of which brings their overpriced cotton clothing down to normal prices for peons like us. Still, they’re generally only bargains in comparison to the regular prices; you’re not going to be finding anything super-cheap.
If you want me to talk to you out of it, well, let me tell you that you’ll definitely find cheaper stuff elsewhere.
If you want me to talk you into it, well, this is as cheap as Hanna gets, and their clothing is imbued with a magical Swedish fairy dust which enables it to wear like iron, last through several children, and generally fetch nearly as much as you paid in the first place if you later decide to sell it on eBay.
And that and a buck will get you a cup of coffee.
Get your Pyrex
Okay, so this 2-quart casserole dish is down to $5.90 at Amazon right now, which is obviously a great price if you need a piece like this.
The better news, though, is that you can save $10 for every $50 you spend on Pyrex (and some other brands; see product for details) at Amazon right now for a limited time. So if you were thinking of switching over to Pyrex storage, now would be a good time to dive in and make those purchases. (Here‘s another cheap set, for example.)
It’s not a terribly sexy set of items, but there’s something to be said for food storage that doesn’t leach chemicals into the stuff you eat. (Well, until they decide glass isn’t safe, either.)
Saturday deals
Good morning! We’re off to the Farmer’s Market, as all the money I’ve saved on other items has freed me up to go buy extra organic local chard, or something. I don’t know.
Here’s a few places to save, today, if you’re so inclined:
Through June 14th, 2008, save 60% on everything at Petite Sophisticate, automatically. Combine that with coupon code 776576308 for free shipping on $50+ or 776576407 for 20% off your $75+ order.
Through June 8th, 2008, buy one, get one for $1 at Fashion Bug. Combine that with coupon code 776214603 for 15% off any order or 776214504 for free shipping on your $75+ order.
Through June 14th, 2008, take $10 off your $75+ purchase at The Children’s Place with coupon code MSA68.
Still looking for a Father’s Day gift? Over at Red Envelope they’re taking 20% off their Father’s Day suggestions, plus you’ll receive free shipping on orders of $75+, automatically.
Overstocks at ShopPBS.org mean savings of up to 80%—it’s worth a look.
Don’t forget to check out this weekend’s exclusive deals at CompUSA if you’re in the market for those sorts of computer-y, gadget-y things. (Yes, those are the technical terms.)
Over at Old Navy, they’ve got select “guy stuff” for 40% off. Just in case Dad wants some comfy weekend wear.
I may be back later with a contest. I haven’t decided, really, but you know how I am. I probably have something sitting on my desk that I want to give to you.
It’s mixed-feelings Friday
Normally, you know, Friday is my favorite day of the week. Today, though, I’m realizing that my kids are leaving me for a couple of weeks, tomorrow, and so my usual Friday joy just isn’t happening. Let’s see if I can take a quick stroll through the Amazon Friday Sale and regain my mojo.
Amazon has started a new feature called the Friday Five
Wouldn’t it be nice if you never had to worry about your car’s battery dying when there’s no one around to jump you? Voila! (Alternatively, if you have a summer vehicle or otherwise lightly-used car, you may be interested in this slow charge battery companion.
It feels like the wrong season to be shopping for a carpet steamer, but maybe that’s why this one is on sale….
If you need new pillows, people raved about these gell-filled ones the last time they were in the Friday Sale. It’s hard to beat just $10/pillow even for junky ones; this price is a steal.
Did you miss the 4-for-3 bath towels last week? They’re back! (I got mine yesterday and am pleased. They’re not super thick, but they are a nice weight.)
I still don’t think I’m ever going to spend $60 on a pen, but if I was going to, it’d be on this one. (There’s a special offer on Cross items when you spend $79+, by the way.)
The sky blue cupcake courier is marked down to $24.99, which is only a savings of $5, but between that and the free shipping (and the fact that this is a mommy-must-have item that almost never goes on sale), I’d still call it a deal.
Have a great Friday, everyone! I’m off to snuggle my children until they tell me to stop it.
Semi-Annual Disney sale
As a mother I am constantly trying to steer my kids away from an overabundance of the licensed-character stuff, but sometimes… well, sometimes I give in because something is so cute I just lose my will to say no.
(Hey, don’t judge me. I hardly ever let the kids shoot heroin, after all.)
Anyway, the semi-annual sale is on at Disney Shopping, and maybe there’s something there that’s too cute for you to resist. Because it’s so cheap, and all.
Coupon code SHIPFIVE will work for $5 flat rate shipping on any size order through June 8th, 2008, too.
New clearance deals, new codes
A ton of new items have just been added to the Kohls online clearance, and in particular (I happened to notice) that there’s a bunch of adorable plus-size girls’ tops for a few bucks apiece. (This is Murphy’s Law in action, people. My daughter is a stick figure. Of course.)
Free shipping on $75+ automatically, and if you have a local store you can return stuff there, so that’s just something to keep in mind if you think you want less than $75 worth of stuff.
Here’s some codes to sweeten the deal:
SAVE15JUNE — 15% off with your Kohls card
MVC2932 — free shipping with your Kohls card (can be stacked)
New6566 — 10% off for everyone (expires June 7th, 2008)
Happy hunting!
Edited to add: Folks, as a Kohls affiliate I am not allowed to post codes for more than 15% off, plus if I allow folks to post them (and leave them up) I could be kicked out of the program. Thanks for understanding when I have to delete those codes from the comments.
Decorate like you’re rich, pay like you’re not
There’s a great promotion going on right now at Home Decorator’s Outlet—through June 15th, 2008, clicking through that link will automatically take $20 off your $125+ order.
My love for Home Decorator’s Outlet just keep growing. Catch the right items during a sale (right now the lighting and rugs, in particular, are marked impossibly low) and you can make out like a bandit. I have a little cabinet from there that people often comment on, and I always smile knowingly and tell them that it was terribly expensive but I had to have it.
Hahaha! Just kidding! I usually cackle and tell them exactly how cheap it was, and then they start backing away from me very slowly.
I have no idea why that keeps happening.
It’s positively movietastic
Twice a year, Deep Discount offers a coupon code.
[And here’s where I get all grumpy-old-granny on you: Why, back in my day, it was called Deep Discount DVD because all they sold were DVDs! Now they’re all fancy, calling themselves plain ol’ “Deep Discount” because they carry everything under the sun. Hmph!]
Anyway, if there’s a DVD you’ve been wanting to buy, head on over to Deep Discount; they have the lowest prices around, anyway, plus free shipping, and now through June 22nd, 2008, you can use coupon code DDAF to take off another 20%.
And if you want something other than DVDs, you young whippersnapper, well, that’s okay too, I guess.
Got kids? Get bowling!
The very pretty Mindy tipped me off to this one: Apparently, many bowling alleys across the country have joined a program whereby kids can bowl free every day this summer!
Check the list to see if your local establishment is participating. Mine isn’t, unfortunately, but perhaps some of you will luck out.
Because there’s nothing more exciting to a small child than wearing someone else’s shoes and flinging heavy objects.
Gotta love those beach books
Are you going on vacation this summer? I’m not, but sometimes I like to pretend I’m on vacation—by laying out on the deck with a paperback book I might be a little embarrassed to be reading.
Yes. I said it.
Whether you’re headed out on a trip or just trying to make the most of a bit of relaxation at home, nothing beats a good book. So you might want to check out the Summer Getaway Collection at Barnes & Noble, where there’s a ton of paperbacks available for 40% off. (Psssst! Still need a Father’s Day gift? They’ve got you covered there, as well.)
Remember that they offer free delivery on qualifying orders of $25+, too. Escapism has never been so affordable!
