Spend $50, get $50
Right now when you spend $50+ on select Kids’ Home items at Garnet Hill, you’ll get back $50 to spend site-wide. See the site for all the details.
Thanks, Jen!
(And sorry for the dearth of posts today. It’s one of those busy mom days where I’m needed in three places at once. I’m about to go have lunch at school with my 4th grader—pray for me!)
In case today’s got you feeling generous
I haven’t been posting a lot of toy deals of late, mostly because I figure we all stocked up during the recent Amazon clearance. And it is hard to go back to “regular” sale prices after something like that. Heh.
Nevertheless, there’s a number of great deals right now over at eToys—that link will take you to all of the special offers available through February 19th, 2008.
But if you’d rather spend the day eating cookies, today, I can get behind that, too.
It’s a day to celebrate love
Happy Valentine’s Day!
Nothing says “I love you” like a cheap cup of coffee…
… except a free cup of coffee, that is. Pick up your free coffee at McDonald’s, today (any size premium roast).
I’m feeling the love already. No, wait… that might just be the caffeine….
[Edited to add: Hmmm, looks like this is only in select areas. Whoops! Check ahead!]
Free Suze Orman book
The ever-lovely Tori just let me know that Oprah had Suze Orman on today, and part of their deal (aside from sitting around arguing about who’s richer, I assume) is that you can go download Women & Money, Orman’s latest book, from Oprah’s site for free through 8:00 p.m. tomorrow night (February 14th, 2008).
I’m not commenting here on what I think of Suze Orman; but I will say that regardless of my opinion (or yours), getting the entire book for free probably merits a look. Thanks, Tori!
Early, schmearly
Are you all set for tomorrow? You know, the day when your kids get all jacked up on sugar and little cards proclaiming loooooove in a way that only cartoon characters and little baby animals can?
Oh, well. Maybe next year.
Hey! If you want to start getting ready for next year now, you might want to click on over to DisneyShopping and poke around—you can use coupon code HEART50 to take 50% off Valentine’s Day items through tomorrow (February 14th). And if you’re not wanting Valentine’s stuff, instead of the V-Day coupon you might use FORYOU for $14 off your $60+ order (that one expires tomorrow as well).
Remember that Disney also allows you to use both a percentage-off and a shipping coupon in combination, too. Through February 18th, use SHIPFOR5 to ship your entire order for a flat $5.
Extra savings, automatically
Through Monday, February 18th, 2008, everything in the Eddie Bauer Outlet is an extra 30% off. Just add an item to your cart to see the new, lower price.
I have a soft spot in my heart for Eddie Bauer—many of my favorite tops are from there. But here’s what I want to know: Why are all of their dresses so long? They have all of this fun, sporty stuff, and then an entire section of Amish-wear when you get to the dresses. I don’t get it.
For your little Lego buff
Yes, yes, I know—the Lego magazine is basically one gigantic advertisement for (what else?) more Lego, but that doesn’t stop it from being absolutely mesmerizing to my son.
So I went and ordered him a free 2-year subscription. (Just choose your country in the left-hand column—this one is good for folks outside of the U.S., too!)
Is there anything better than getting something cool in the mail when you’re a kid? No, there is not.
I dunno who he is, but I like his stuff
Do you know who Rick Bayless is? I don’t. (Should I?) Oh, wait; apparently he’s some famous chef. Whoops. Okay, well, he has some neat things on sale at Amazon right now.
This bean pot is 63% off, just $14.99. My beans all come in cans, but I hear a pot is good, too.
This pepper roasting griddle is 67% off, just $19.99. I never knew you were supposed to have an entire item devoted just to roasting peppers, but again, what do I know.
And the best of the lot: This mezzaluna and wood bowl are gorgeous—perfect as a gift for friends who love to cook, and/or who are into eco-friendly products—and just $8.98 (85% off!).
Now I have a craving for guacamole.
Nearly as difficult as a wedding dress
Most of us who are married know the agony of finding just the right wedding gown. Arguably, the only dress you’ll worry about more is the dress you wear when your baby gets married.
Dawna writes:
In exactly 5 months, my daughter will be getting married. It is an outdoor ceremony and I’m anticipating the weather to be warm (end of June in PA).
I’d like something pretty and special but not the traditional, frumpy (it’s true!) mother-of-the-bride dress.
Any ideas where I could start my search. We live in a pretty rural area so on-line options would be great.
Let’s see if we can’t help Dawna figure this one out. read more…
Save more at Sally
Here’s a handy example of when being cheap gets ridiculous: I have been cutting my family’s hair for well over ten years. Not often, you understand, but when someone needs a haircut, I’m the barber. Now. Do you think that I have owned a hair-cutting cape for all of that time?
Of course not. I just bought a cape last month. It cost me all of $12. I’m really not sure what I was waiting for. Maybe I thought everyone was enjoying being covered with hair and/or suffocated by trash bags while I tried to cover them up somehow…?
All of this is to say: I bought the cape at Sally’s Beauty Supply, after waiting all this time, and of course today I find a printable coupon for 15% off through the end of February. That, my friends, is called Murphy’s Law. But my stupidity and poor luck may be your gain—go forth and save.
