Grab up the deals for the kids
Need clothes for the kiddos? Run over to Children’s Place; they’ve just dropped the prices in the Outlet to 50% off.
Sizes and selection are limited, but if you shop quickly, you may yet find a few things for your little darlings. (I have an empty box sitting here from our last order, which came a couple of days ago.) Coupon code S1A48 is still working for 15% off your order, too. Run!
Getting a deal on luggage
Pretty, pretty Steph writes:
Pretty Pretty Mir, I have a question for you. I am going to Hawaii in June of this year, and April of next year, and the Samsonite luggage I got when I graduated from high school 10 years ago is falling apart. My family does alot of traveling (the trip this June is to get my sister and I to the state of Hawaii, we’ve been to all the other 49 states, the trip next April is a high school band trip), but does it in short time frames. We rarely stay in one place more than two nights, when we are gone for 1 1/2 to 2 weeks each summer. So…I need luggage that can take a beating, then get put in the closet til the next time. II don’t want to spend a LOT of money, but I would like something with a liftime/long guarantee. Any suggestions?
Actually, Steph wrote me this email a couple of weeks ago and I’ve been mulling it over for a while, because I’m of two minds on this issue. Usually I have a strong opinion and no issues with sharing it. For this… well, I’m just not sure. read more…
Happy Earth Day! Celebrate with plants!
Okay, so, the last time I posted a Spring Hill Nursery deal, a few of you left comments saying that their plants are awful and you’ve had bad luck with them. I encourage (respectful) freedom of speech here, so that’s fine and I thank you all for sharing. However, I’ve ordered from them multiple times over the years and have never had a problem. Not once. And this year I bought myself some strawberry kits and holy guacamole are they growing like gangbusters. All of my squirrels should be enjoying fresh berries within a month.
Anyway, in honor of Earth Day, Spring Hill has marked a bunch of stuff up to 50% off. And there’s also an available $25 off any $50+ order coupon which you can activate by going through that there link. The only catch is that you just have to browse around to find the sale items, but I promise they’re lurking in the sale section for today only.
And who doesn’t like beautiful plants? Cave dwellers, that’s who. It’s nearly May so come out of the cave, people!
The return of the Allure Beauty Box
Some of you have done this deal in the past, but for those of you who haven’t, here’s the deal: Every year Allure Magazine puts together a box of beauty goodies—usually heavily geared towards sun protection, so there will be some regular make-up but also lots of sunblock items and fancy moisturizers.
The box is then released on a predetermined day/time, and the supply is limited. It’s a first come, first served kind of thing. This year’s box is a $255 value and can be ordered for $29.99 plus shipping. You will be able to find it through this link starting at 12:01 p.m. eastern time today (April 22nd, 2008) NOW (it’s currently 10:40 a.m. and people have been able to order already).
I’ve gotten the box a couple of times and have always been pleased with it. Generally if you like and use even a couple of items, it pays for itself and the rest is gravy. These will sell out extremely quickly so be poised to hit the site and order as close to noon as possible if you want one.
Go below the fold to see what items will be included in this year’s box; just keep in mind that some of these items will be full-size and some will be sample-size. read more…
Spare bed in a bag, anyone?
1 Sale A Day is featuring a twin-size Aerobed today for $29.99 with $5.99 shipping. It includes a pump and a storage bag. (For comparison: Here it is on Amazon for over twice that price.)
I think it’s handy to have one of these for when your kid has a guest or when you go camping. I also think it’s handy to have one of these so that when your kid misbehaves you can pick up the (small) bag and say, “If you don’t knock it off, you’re gonna be sleeping in here tonight!”
Then again, some of my parenting fantasies are more controversial than others….
Ship it for under a buck
The spring fashion clearance is on at Macy’s, and through April 23rd, 2008, ship your clearance clothing and accessories for just $.99 with coupon code 99CENTS. Look for the items which say “This item qualifies towards 99 cent shipping!” because it would be far too logical if all of the clearance qualified, now wouldn’t it?
Do not ask me to explain why some things qualify and others don’t. Nonetheless, I spy with my Macy’s-loving little eye some great deals….
Lands’ End luring you back
Did you order from Lands’ End lately, and now you see something else you wish you’d nabbed? Don’t fret! Keep an eye on your email; they’re sending out unique (individual, one-time-use) free shipping codes to folks who shopped with them recently.
It’s the perfect chance to get just one more thing!
More deals, one day only
I love how Amazon has been continuing the excitement and love of the Friday Sale with these Kitchen and Home One Day Sale
Yes, I am that easily amused, sometimes.
There’s all manner of wonderful things that I like best—KitchenAid mixers and sheet sets and a mezzaluna that looks like a frog (yes, really). You’ll just have to browse through to see if anything there is calling your name.
(I think the mezzaluna set is calling me, but maybe it’s just ribbiting…?)
Shoe deals at Fashion Bug
True, I’m not normally going to send you to Fashion Bug for shoes, but they have a ton of choices on clearance right now, and the prices really can’t be beat. (Plus, if you’re something of a brand snob, like I am, remember that they carry a nice array of Skechers and Keds in addition to the off-brand stuff.)
Anyway, go check out the clearance shoes at Fashion Bug and see if you can’t snap up a deal.
Make it better with a coupon: Ship your order for free with coupon code 776205700, or use code 776213902 for an additional 50% off one item.
Happy Mother’s Day for those with OCD
I don’t know why this item tickles me so—perhaps because it’s just $1.99; perhaps because it would allow you to time three different dishes at once, removing the need to do pesky math when cooking up big dinners (“Okay, now, once the stuffing comes out, the bird has half an hour to go”); or just perhaps it would allow you to put three children into time-out at different intervals and still keep track of it all. Who knows! Whatever it is, I just love this triple kitchen timer.
Just don’t buy one for your mom unless she has a sense of humor.
