If you still have a $20 certificate laying around. . .
… for Dale & Thomas Popcorn, that is… you might be interested in knowing that for a limited time you can get a Six Pack Sampler and use coupon code EX312S1T for free shipping.
Sooooo… pick your sampler (must be one of mixed variety; code will not work on a single flavor) and add it to your cart. Your $20 certificate will make it just $8, and then the code will ship it for free. Not bad at all.
(D&T seems to be giving those $20 off coupons out all over the place—I’ve gotten them with other certificates, in DVDs, etc. Hey, more popcorn is always good.)
[Edited to add: Weird. Okay, what they really meant is that it will work on 3 6-packs. Which is $75 worth of popcorn. So… ummm… nevermind.]
My kind of election
I just got this in my Stonyfield Farm newsletter and I have to share, because I love everything about Stonyfield—their company philosophy, their yummy products, their commitments to both better health and environmental concerns—but this truly takes the cake in terms of genius.
Stonyfield is about to determine a new yogurt flavor, and you can go vote in America’s Flavor Election. The way they have it set up just makes me giggle (I think I’m a Demogurt, but I confess looking longingly at a few of those Yopublican flavors!), and when you vote you’re entered for a chance to win a year’s supply of yogurt. (Want more immediate gratification? Kathryn sent along this link for $1 off Yobaby products. Thanks, Kathryn!)
Here’s a few games for the closet
Every time I apologize for posting more toys, people say “No! Post more of ’em!” And I am nothing if not your humble servant. And also really into toys and games. Ahem. So, here’s a few more I found.
(By the way—people sometimes ask how I find these. There’s no magic method, really; I just surf around Amazon for a while and see what I find. The first step is to realize that all of the sorting mechanisms Amazon gives you don’t actually work, which means that you often stumble across something where it doesn’t belong.)
Quiddler is currently $7.87 and free shipping eligible (ages 8+).
Disney Pixar Monopoly is currently $10.99 and free shipping eligible (ages 8+).
Transformers Robot Fighters Game is currently $11 and free shipping eligible (ages 6+).
Not the greatest deals ever, but good prices and free shipping if you’re stocking up.
Cheap Veggies
Veggie Tales, that is.
Big Idea is having a Veggie Tales DVD sale. You can use coupon code wiz to take $10 off your purchase, making any DVD under $10 yours for the cost of shipping (varies depending on your location, but about $2-$4). Not a bad deal if you’re looking for one of those DVDs, already.
Restaurant.com for St. Patrick’s Day
Oh, you know they couldn’t let a pseudo-holiday go by without a coupon code, after all. So head on over to Restaurant.com and use coupon code LUCK to take 50% off your purchase. Then go celebrate the holiday of your choosing with fine dining on the cheap—$25 certificates will cost just $5 after the code. (And that’s something to celebrate.)
Coupon is valid through March 16th, 2008. On the 17th I hear you’re supposed to drink green beer, which is something else entirely.
Awwww, wookit da widdle computer!
I’m sort of entranced by this because it’s so tiny and cute I could stick it in my purse. No, I don’t need another computer, nor will I be buying this. But I do sort of want to squeeze it and hug it and call it George.
So here it is: Buy.com has one of these Super Mobile Internet Device thingies, which in plain-human speak is a fully internet-functional laptop that’s just 7″ and under 2 pounds. The retail price on this baby is $400, and Buy is offering it for $349.99 with free shipping.
Furthermore, if you apply for the new Buy.com Revolution credit card you can take $50 off your $51+ order—making the teeny, weenie laptop yours for just $300.
I’m not saying to run out and do this, of course. This is hardly the greatest computer ever—though it’s certainly hard to beat in terms of portability, particularly at that price—and there are ramifications when you apply for new credit cards, even if you do save a bundle, so this is a deal with many points to consider.
But goodness gracious if that machine doesn’t make me squeal, just a little.
Consider me schooled
I want to extend a special thank-you to everyone who piped up in the comments of yesterday’s post about warehouse clubs; I have never been to a Costco and assumed they were the same as Sam’s, BJ’s, etc. Wow, sounds like I was completely wrong. Thanks to everyone for setting me straight.
Except now I sort of wish we had a Costco. Hmph.
Bears in a tree, cute and cheap
Need a gift for a little girl? Check out this Bearskis Family Treehouse at Amazon—marked down to $9.99 and free shipping (regardless of order size). Totally adorable and over half off what you’ll pay elsewhere.
(The free shipping will be automatic… you’ll see it come off in the last step of checkout.)
I know most of us are all stocked up on toys, but this was too cute not to point out.
The cheapest Planet Earth yet
I know we’ve only had about half a dozen deals on the Planet Earth DVD series, lately, but this one was too good not to post. (And if you bought it earlier on a different—less smokin’—deal, please don’t yell at me.)
If you’re interested in the British version of the regular DVD set (not Blu-ray or HD-DVD), get it here for $21.03 shipped. That’s right. (It’s an Amazon seller, which means you get Amazon’s buying protection, but an independent seller’s price.)
This set is narrated by David Attenborough, who some say does a better job than the American narrator, Sigourney Weaver. (I happen to be a fool for Sigourney Weaver, but this is good, too.)
To warehouse or not to warehouse
The very lovely Courtney writes:
I know you have been posting things relating to good financial decisions, but not necessarily internet deals lately and was wondering if you wouldn’t mind giving your take on wholesale clubs.
I found it interesting that I am both a member of Costco and BJ’s and some of the MAJOR differences between these two particularly. The biggest thing that affects me is baby items (I have a 23 month old and a 6 month old which means two in diapers and one on formula). I was amazed at the limited selection at Costco not to mention their prices!! BJ’s is not only MUCH cheaper on their diapers and wipes, but they have a huge variety to choose from – Luvs, Pampers, Huggies and their own brand where Costco only carries Huggies and their brand (at least the one that I use). Not only does BJ’s carry a variety of brands, but they also carry a variety of sizes – at least in the wipes department. Anyways, I find myself wondering if people realize that they aren’t always getting the best deal at one wholesale club over another or that not all are the same. Another example is that Costco sells my contact lenses for almost $5 a box cheaper than BJ’s.
Not sure if this issue would be worth posting a blog about, but it is just a thought. I know BJ’s is not as nationally known as Costco or Sam’s Club, but I have to say, I have been nothing but pleased with being a member there. Plus, they don’t seem to be nearly as busy AND they accept coupons!
So… what do I think? Are warehouse clubs worth it? Yes. No. Sometimes! read more…
