If you’re thinking about some new furniture for the patio, you obviously haven’t been outside in Georgia lately. Sure, the weather has been mild and pleasant, but we’re being overtaken by a yellow cloud of pollen.

Still, I’m not complaining—I’ll take the pollen cloud over snow any day of the week.

Anyway! Target’s got their patio furniture in, and right now when you order $125+ worth, you get 15% off automatically. Free shipping, too, which solves the problem of how to get that gazebo home in the back of your compact car. Just sayin’.

Have a local Walgreens? They’re offering free ink refills today only (April 2nd, 2008). Click on the link to see the brands for which it’s good, and to print out your coupon. Also, be aware that if you live in Hawaii your free ink day isn’t until April 7th. (Don’t ask me why. I have no idea. Is tomorrow some other sort of special day in Hawaii?)

Not sure where your nearest Walgreens is? Here you go.

I love ordering from Office Depot for lots of reasons—most notably that if you have a local one, you’ll get your delivery the next day, and it’s not hard to get up to the $50 minimum for free delivery. I’ve been buying paper from them for years for just this reason.

Through April 8th, 2008, get 10% off your non-technology Office Depot purchase through that there link, just because I like you. And also because they sent me the coupon. Details.

(They also have a Worklife Rewards program you may wish to check out for additional savings. That’s because I like you, too.)

Remember the deal to get a Senseo coffee maker? If you got one, you may now be experiencing “pod shock” when you go to buy the coffee for it. (I’ve been buying mine when they run deals at Amazon.)

How about a free bag of pods? Yes, that sounds great, Mir, thanks! (See, when I can’t hear you, I just make up your side of the conversation.) (Also, it’s possible I should lay off the coffee for the rest of the day.) Here you go: Take a brief survey and receive a free bag of pods.

I ate at a Cracker Barrel, once. I had to be rolled out of the restaurant, afterwards. (Mmmmm… biscuits and honey butter….)

Hey! Cracker Barrel is running a little Mother’s Day promotion wherein you submit a 50-100 word story involving your mom and Cracker Barrel, and if yours is one of the first 25 stories that they decide to post, you and your mom will get a free meal!

Many thanks to pretty Erin at Cracker Barrel for alerting me to this contest. Someone go win and have a biscuit for me.

If you’re a cubicle-dweller, surely you already know all about Despair.com, your one-stop shop for motivational items that sport sayings such as “There are no stupid questions, but there are a LOT of inquisitive idiots.”

Well, today is their big sale—no joke! But you need the login information to access the site, today. Just use userid april and password fools to partake in the savings, and stock up on gifts for all of those special folks with whom you work, or to help yourself or a friend get through the days with those folks. Heh.

I’m not a computer games person (well, I did rather enjoy Zork back in the day, and if you have no idea what I’m talking about you are too young to play here, and also, get out of my yard) so I cannot vouch for this personally, but apparently there’s a popular PC game out there called Richard Garriott’s Tabula Rasa…?

I don’t know. Anyway, right now at Amazon you can get the regular version for $9.99 or the Collector’s Edition for $19.99.

I can’t tell you if the game is any good (the reviews are good, at least), but I can tell you that that appears to be pretty cheap. So. Now you can go ask a gamer if it’s worth it.
