Bigger clothes, smaller price
Through next week there’s a pretty good sale going on at Catherines; all regular-price items are buy one, get one at half price.
Combine the sale with a code to maximize your savings:
776930802 — 20% off your entire order
776930901 — 40% off any one item
776926800 — free shipping on your entire order
As always, remember that even plus-size stores carry things like jewelry and other accessories where size isn’t an issue. Just in case you feel like looking….
The only thing better than raisins: Organic raisins!
You’d have to have a lot of snackers in your house (or a team to feed, like maybe at baseball?), but check this one out: Right now at Amazon, 12 14-count packages of organic raisins are marked down to just $25.20. Apply coupon code MAYGRCCL for another $10 off, and it’ll still qualify for free Super Saver Shipping, but you’ll be paying $15.20 for 168 boxes of raisins. That’s less than a dime a box!
And who doesn’t love raisins? Communists, that’s who.
Hey kid, fetch me a smoothie!
My children are useless. I can’t send them out to run errands for me, which is a shame. Maybe when they’re older.
if I could send them out to do my bidding, I’d be sending them over to Planet Smoothie today, because today is one of their $.99 Smoothie Days.
Today’s special is called Spazz, which I’m pretty sure was invented by my kids.
(Have I mentioned how much I just love summer vacation? Because I do. Sooooo much. Pass the smoothies.)
Another Brookstone deal
So here’s a handy little deal if you’re buying Dad something gadget-y for Father’s Day and might want to head back later on to pick up a little something for yourself, later. Through June 16th, 2008, spend $100 at Brookstone and get a $25 gift card by applying coupon code 25Card at checkout. The only hitch is that it looks like you have to use the gift cards by June 25th, so I’d only hop on this one if you already know what you’d like to buy.
(Plus, $25 at Brookstone probably buys you a paper clip, but you never know….)
After a bit of technical difficulty. . .
… it would seem that the Restaurant.com deal I posted the other day is working again.
(Here’s what I think happened: They released the code sooner than they meant to, and when the orders started rolling in, they pulled it. Then they put the code back in. Then they shook it all about.) (Oh, wait—that last part is the hokey pokey. Nevermind.)
Anyway, you can now place your order at Restaurant.com using coupon code DAD to receive 50% off. That’ll give you $25 worth of dining for just $5, as well as an added bonus—every order placed with the DAD discount code will receive a special code good for free shipping at Weber.com. Just in case Dad is lucky enough to be receiving some fancy new grill accessories or somethin’.
They had me at “spy car”
I’m thinking this one may be a price mistake, but at $13 how could you not love a spy video car? Infrared night vision! Awesome!
Put a couple of these in the gift closet and I’m thinking your popularity will skyrocket. Heh.
Edited to add: Hey, there’s some other great Wild Planet deals, too.
Explorer Ops Survival Watch for $7
Lazer Tripwire for $9.99
Micro Spy Kit-X2 for $13
Spy Gear Signal Launcher for $8.99 (for some reason this defaults to the one sold by Target; make sure to select the one from Amazon in the right-hand “More Buying Choices” sidebar to get that price and the free Super Saver Shipping option)
Helping out after a tragedy
The very pretty Stephanie writes:
Dearest wise and beautiful Mir,
This question isn’t really about bargains, but it is an area in which I felt your readers, including me, could benefit from your knowledge. The husband of a dear friend of mine, though not a very close friend, recently and very unexpectedly passed away. They have two young children. In addition to the overwhelming grief, I know that it will be tough on her to keep the household running, so I want to help her as much as I can. I dropped off some non-perishable, healthy, snack-like items so the kids can have something good to eat without her having to prepare anything, as well as some toilet tissue since so many people will be coming and going. I left her a card saying that I was there for her and the kids for anything they needed. I know she has family and close friends who will be there for her, but I would like to do more. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks!
My condolences to your friend and her family, Stephanie. That’s a terribly sad situation, and it’s so sweet of you to want to think of ways to really help her out. read more…
I can’t help it, I saw Sex and the City yesterday
I’m trying to lay off the expensive shoe deals, really I am. But I saw the Sex and the City movie yesterday, and… well, I’ve got shoes on the brain.
It’s true that the discontinued or tightened pricematching policies at some of our favorite shoe stores have curbed my habit, but sometimes a deal’s a deal.
Right now at Amazon they’ve got a ton of Donald Pliner shoes marked wayyyyyy down. There’s both women’s and men’s deals to be had. It’s not like the old days, where you could score a $250 pair of shoes for $12, but it’s pretty good if you like high-end shoes.
Tee me
By now you know that my love of Threadless T-shirts knows no bounds. They make me laugh, and that’s justification enough for me.
But when they have a $10 sale—like, say, this week—my love grows even deeper.
Not all shirts are $10, but all shirts are marked down, some of them all the way to $10. Go take a peek if you’re wanting some cool new Ts. Or if you want to replenish a growing child’s entire wardrobe. (Hey, it turns out that 8-year-old boys really dig Threadless, too!)
It’s Discover 5% sign-up time
Got a Discover card? (If you do, I know you’re charging things as if you were using cash—just charging for the cashback bonus, then paying it off when the bill comes—because you’re so smart and pretty.)
Remember how they’re doing a special calendar of bonuses throughout the year, where you have to go sign up for each promotion? It’s a little bit annoying and sneaky, but worth the trouble. The excrutiatingly lovely Lauren mailed to let me know that you can now sign up for the July – September promo, which happens to be 5% back on gasoline purchases.
Hey, at the current price of gas, you should be making that $400 bonus in no time at all.
