Walk tall in your short bargains
Oh, I know—you’re not short, you’re vertically-challenged. Or, more simply put: petite. Whatever. Make up in great deals what you lack in height; because through May 19th, 2008, PetiteSophsticate.com is offering 40% off of regular prices and 50% extra off of already reduced prices, automatically!
This can be combined with either the 20% off $75+ orders code (776576407) or the free shipping on $50+ order code (776576308). Either way, you’ll be cleaning up in short order. (Pun only slightly intended.)
Kiss your chapped lips goodbye
I’ve tried a number of fancy moisturizers and lip glosses, and I always keep coming back to the same product: Aquafor. Yep, Aquafor.
It has the added side benefit of being useful for all of those “boo-boos” the kids come by demanding to have treated. You know the ones—the ones that hurt and/or involve a little scrape, but for which the antibiotic ointment would be overkill? Yeah. Great for those, too. (Chapstick, not so much.)
Go get some for free; the sample size is perfect for your purse.
It doesn’t hurt to ask
So, we replaced our grill. The new one is just a wee big larger, and by that I mean that we could prepare an entire cow on it at once, which is great, because you just never know when you’re going to need 36 burgers ready simultaneously.
Here’s the interesting part—right now Lowe’s is running a Spring Savings Event through May 18th, 2008, wherein registered users earn gift cards back based upon the money spent there. You can earn $50 in Lowe’s gift cards for every $500 spent, so it’s no chump change if you’re already spending, is my point. Anyway, I knew about the promotion because I read about it online, but my local store isn’t promoting it for some reason.
It turns out that you can get a card number (needed for online registration) over the phone. And you can register your purchases retroactively. So if you’ve spent some big money at Lowe’s since March 10th, 2008, I encourage you to check out the site and then—if your local store doesn’t appear to be promoting this—start calling around. I was able to get a number from a store a couple of towns over. Then we registered for the Spring Event and now we have $50 coming our way.
Which I’m sure my husband will spend on exciting things like downspouts and pine straw. Woo!
Pretty shiny shoes
You know I’m powerless against a good shoe deal. Some might call it a character flaw, but I prefer to think of it as “excellent radar.” Yes.
So here’s a bunch of Kenneth Cole New York shoes which are deeply discounted at Amazon (poke around; both men’s and women’s styles available, prices may vary by size or color). Great deals, right?
If they carry it at Amazon, that means they also carry it at Endless. Activate your price-matching powers—while it’ll only save you a few more bucks in most cases, it also gets you free overnight shipping and free returns to buy from Endless rather than Amazon, so you’re much better off going that route. (Remember: Place your order at Endless after you’ve verified the same size/color available at Amazon. Then call to ask for your price adjustment. Easy!) Endless has changed their price-matching policy—you may no longer match to Amazon (which makes sense, but still, major bummer). Price-matching is still available at Shoebuy.com if they carry the same shoe.
Hey, it’s the last day of Mother’s Day Weekend (extended version). And Mama always needs a new pair of shoes.
Row, row, row your boat
I am oddly tempted by this Coleman inflatable boat. At $49.99 with free shipping, I might just blow it up and put the kids out on the pond in it when they get too loud. Would that be wrong?
Need something at Old Navy?
If you’re needing some clothing, you might want to hop over to the Old Navy site today. Not only is there a ton of clearance available, you can reduce those items an additional 15% by using coupon code EXTRA15OFF. Shipping is always just a flat $5 for every order, or order $50+ and use coupon code SHIPSUMMER to ship it for free.
Sometimes their stuff makes me laugh (hey, skirts come in two lengths: “What Color Panties Are You Wearing” or “This Looks Nice With A Burqa”), but I do love their t-shirts, and their kids’ clothes are staples ’round here.
Derby Dolls bringing you Stila Savings
I want you all to know that I think every single one of my readers is awesome, but when I hear that one of my readers is a real live roller derby girl—a Derby Doll, to be exact—I can’t help thinking there’s an extra helping of awesome involved. I’m just sayin’.
Anyway. Do you know Stila Cosmetics? Of course you do. What you may not know is that they do a Stila Girl of the Week every week, and this week, their girl is a member of the LA Derby Dolls. One of the perks she received is a friends and family type discount code, and so all this week you’re welcome to use coupon code SYDNEY20 for an extra 20% off and free shipping.
There’s just one catch. The Derby Dolls are hoping that Stila will see the light and decide to engage in some corporate sponsorship in the future. They (and other roller derby leagues across the country) are volunteer ventures, skater-owned and -operated, and some corporate help would really enable these ladies to sustain and expand what is one of the fastest-growing sports in America right now. To that end, the LADD is simply asking that if you use the coupon code, you also leave something in the “special notes” field when ordering as a shout out to the great sport of roller derby. I suggest, “ROCK ON, DERBY DOLLS!” But feel free to use your own words.
They’re giving you 20% off. Give ’em some love, people.
Ship it for free from Lane Bryant
The current cost of gas is making me an even bigger hermit than I used to be. I can justify very few reasons to get into the car and drive, and so I’m always on the lookout for free shipping deals, figuring we’re all trying to stay put a little more often these days.
Through tomorrow (May 13th, 2008), use coupon code L05118 to ship any size Lane Bryant order for free. So if you needed a little something, you’re all set. If you want to do a bunch of shopping, you’re set there, too. Either way.
There’s over 100 items in the clearance section, too.
Rock out, for free
Did you know that Nine Inch Nails is giving away their latest album? It’s true! Register and download the slip for free.
Maybe this doesn’t thrill you, but perhaps you have a teenager or a hipper friend who’ll be excited about it. (Me, I’m not a huge NIN fan, but free is always something to be shared, right?)
Saturday deals
Good morning! I may spend some time shopping for a new grill, today. On the other hand, I may just spend some time poking myself in the eye with a fork. It’s a tough choice, frankly.
But you should feel free to leisurely scan for whatever you need at the very best price, because I doubt I’ll be getting a deal today and someone should.
Free shipping is back at Lands’ End; just use source code SPLASH with PIN 530653065 through May 15th, 2008.
At Home & Beyond, using coupon code DINE on your $40+ order will get you a free $25 Restaurant.com certificate. (Check out their Hot Buys section.)
This weekend at Overstock you can take $20 off your $300+ order through that there link, and that actually combines with this weekend’s special, which is 5% off garden and patio items, so between the two, you could rake in the savings.
Today (Saturday, May 10th, 2008) only, get $5 off your $25 purchase at Toys R Us through that link there. There are some games on sale with free shipping, so I’d look at those to maximize the savings, personally.
Through the weekend, Fashion Bug is taking 40% off regular prices and an additional 20% off sale prices. Make it better with a coupon: 776214504 gets you free shipping on $75+, and 776214603 gives you 15% off any order.
Contest coming up later today, so come on back….
