Get ’em while they’re cheap
Today is the last day to take an additional 60% off of sale items at Classic Closeouts—just use coupon code 60SLASH to get your discount.
Shipping is automatically free on orders of $50+, though between the sale prices and the code I cannot imagine how you’d made it up to $50. Maybe if you bought one of everything….
Saturday deals, while I go clean
This afternoon a group of 8-year-old boys are descending upon my house. I have to go clean, so that their mothers don’t think I’m a slob. And then after they leave, I’ll have to clean again. I feel certain there is a flaw in this plan, somewhere, but I can’t quite put my finger on it.
Anyway! Don’t mind me. Here’s your Saturday assortment of deals:
I’ve got another free shipping deal for Lands’ End for you, and—as usual—get the best deals in the Overstocks Section to maximize your bargain high. Heh. Get free shipping through January 31st by using promo code COLD with PIN number 530153015.
Friend of Want Not Denise Altman asked me to let readers know that she has a bunch of Original Medela Pump In Style breast pumps—which are being discontinued in favor of the new Advanced model—and she’s clearing them out for $239 shipped, which includes a bonus container of nipple butter. (Oh, the Google trolls I am going to get for using the word nipple.) This is not the very cheapest I’ve seen this pump, but between the free shipping, bonus, and the warm fuzzies from supporting a small business, I do urge you to check her out if you’re in the market for a pump.
Blah blah blah blah Restaurant.com blah blah blah blah save 60% with coupon code EASY through January 31st blah blah blah blah $25 of dining for $4. Blah blah. (You know the drill by now.)
The Overstock weekender coupon is $15 off of a $300+ purchase through that there link. Time to buy a couch! Or a lifetime supply of vitamins. Either way.
Best Buy is having a big sale today. How unusual!
That should keep you busy for a while. If not, feel free to come on over and help me vacuum. It seems only fair, after all I’ve done for you.
Friiiiiiiiiiiday!
I don’t know about you, but this week has been jam-packed, for me, and I’m looking forward to sleeping in tomorrow more than is probably healthy. Until then, I shall have to keep myself happy with the Amazon Friday Sale.
My husband says this orbital sander is a good buy. I am just sitting here saying “orbital sander” over and over because after about the 6th time, it sounds dirty. And I am a child.
This Pilates kit is perfect for those of us with failed “get fit” resolutions. Besides, how can you resist something that claims to come with a “magic circle?”
I sort of love these shoes. I think they’ll go perfectly with the sweatpants I’m wearing right now. What?
The Circulon cookware set is $149.99, with a bonus free dutch oven if you buy enough to get your purchase up to $200. Or do the Anolon set for $129.99. Either one is a great way to start (or replace) your cookware in one fell swoop.
The unbreakable French press is back, and this time it comes with a free frother! Really, for $9.99 you can hardly go wrong on this one.
Been wanting an Electrolux? I hear they really suck. (Thank you, thank you. I’ll be here all week.) $350 shipped is actually a great price.
Need a sewing machine?
If your kid wears size 3 Huggies, you might want to stock up.
This is a whole lotta granola. I am just making an observation.
Happy Friday, everyone!
Rock out for less
Hey, there’s another special going on at Second Spin, my new favorite place to buy CDs. Today only (January 24th, 2008), you can use coupon code 25JAN18 to take 25% off your total CD and DVD order.
And if I’d been paying attention, I would’ve posted it earlier. But despite the saved money, I’ve been paying dearly for my last purchase there, so it may have slipped my mind. (Don’t believe me? Allow me to paint the scene: My 9-year-old, and a pile of karaoke CDs. Now you understand.)
Great girly party favors
Got a girl with an upcoming birthday bash?
While I suppose you can’t go wrong with the traditional Bag O’ Cheap Trinkets for a goody bag, I vastly prefer to give the kids one item which I think they’ll really enjoy. I think the parents are grateful for this, too. So I’m always on the lookout for items on the cheap which I can use for this purpose.
Here’s some Klutz books not only marked down at Amazon, but part of the 4-for-3 promotion, making them even cheaper when you buy them in multiples of 4! You can buy one cheaper than filling a bag, and it’s a cool activity instead of plastic whistles and such.
Pocket Paper Dolls, Princess for $3.22 (54% off)
Pocket Paper Dolls, Fairy for $3.22 (54% off) (be careful with this one, as it claims to be a pre-order for 2010… probably an error, but just be aware)
Wishing Stars for $2.76 (54% off)
Button Ringsfor $2.76 (54% off)
Baby your baby
There’s all manner of sales and bargains at BabyCenter going on right now, so whether you have your own baby or need a gift for someone, it’s worth taking a look.
Use one of the available coupons, too:
FREESHIP49 — free shipping on $49+ (no expiration)
SAVE15% — 5% off $25+, 10% off $50+, 15% off $150+ (expires January 28th, 2008)
(Coupons don’t stack, I don’t think, so pick one.)
They also sent me this (unintentionally) amusing email about how most births happen in the summer to fall, which means that shopping for maternity clothes happens around now, which clearly they were mentioning because they sell maternity clothes. And really, I am such a child—all I could think was that a lot of people had themselves a merry little Christmas.
Sling that (cheap) backpack
LL Bean’s Thursday Morning Markdown today is this sling backpack, available in six different colors and 72% off at just $8.
This is not a pack for little kids—their recommendation is 15+. But it’s a great pack for a teen or, heck, even for you.
(The season of free shipping codes seems to have ended, but remember you get free shipping all the time if you have a Bean Visa. Shipping and handling is only $3.95, though, so don’t skip the deal on account of that.)
Cheap DVDs
Looking for some cheap DVDs? There’s a whole bunch of ’em on sale for $4.99 at Best Buy this week.
Looks like shipping is $1.99 apiece for DVDs, or you can ship to your local store and pick up.
(Or you can just use Netflix and rent it and send it back, but maybe you have a burning need to own Wayne’s World. I don’t judge.)
This week at Target
There’s all sorts of sales happening at Target online, this week, and maybe if I was more organized I would’ve put this stuff up on Sunday. But I’m not, so I didn’t. Whoops. Anyway, here it is:
Spend $125+ on furniture, save 15% and get free shipping.
Spend $50+ in Women’s, get free shipping.
Spend $50+ in Bedding, get free shipping.
Spend $50+ in Home, get free shipping.
And—I know, this one is a shock—spend $50+ in Shoes, get free shipping.
Actually, there’s a ton of stuff where if you spend $50 in one department, you get free shipping. I could be wrong, but I’m thinking they’re trying to get you to spend $50. Just a hunch I have. Don’t use this as an excuse to buy more, of course, but if it’s a purchase you would’ve made anyway and it saves you from driving to the store? Score.
Mindful Money: What price groceries?
Far and away the most common question I am emailed in association with this site is “How can I save money on groceries?” Most of us are feeding families, and most of us are dismayed by the rising costs of food.
Most of us would like to know how to feed our families on a shoestring budget, and I was the same way, for years. For some of us, it’s absolute necessity to bring the bill down. For others, we just have this notion that this is another place where we must save as much money as possible.
There are two things to remember when headed into this issue: First, that there are ways to keep the bill down; but second, that you probably should be spending more on food than you think. read more…
