You just never know
It’s Wednesday, and that means the JC Penney Wednesday deals are up.
I don’t know about you, but I’ve totally been scouring the ends of the earth looking for a ficus that doubles as an air purifier….
… what?
Okay, maybe I was kidding about that one. But I do sort of love this train cupcake mold. (And I think someone sent this link to me a while back, too.)
Get Senseous, for less or even for FREE
Senseo wants to hook you in to their single-cup-at-a-time way of life so badly, they’re willing to give you a nearly-free system to do it. Here’s what you do: Go on over to this survey and after filling it out, you may be emailed a chance to purchase a Senseo system for just $15 in shipping. (For reference: I believe the machine you receive is this one). Be patient—the email may take up to a week to arrive. If you get the email, you can then place an order.
The Senseo gets good reviews as a machine, but of course for us tightwads the main concern is that the “pods” it uses are, ounce for ounce, much more expensive than regular coffee. Plus, they’re not really the same as grinding your own beans, if you’re doing that. Should these concerns be on your mind, I’ll mention three options:
1) I seem to see the pods on clearance at Target quite often,
2) Reusable Eco Pads!,
and
3) This tutorial is both informative and hilarious.
Furthermore, my fellow frugals, I know that for some of us, even $15 seems like too much to spend. I feel you. In fact, I think we should come up with a better price. Hmmmm… let me think. Let’s see. How does free sound, instead?
One lucky Want Not reader will receive the Senseo system absolutely free because that’s how I roll, baby. To have a shot at winning, simply leave a comment on this post before 11:59 p.m. on Friday, January 25th. One comment per person, please. Winner to be determined by random drawing, so sucking up will not help you. But don’t let that stop you. Heh.
And… go!
Shoooooooooes
You know I can’t resist a shoe deal. It’s an illness, I know. But if it’s wrong, I don’t want to be right. Just looking at shoes makes me happy. Okay, now I’m starting to disturb myself. Moving on.
Anyway! The winter clearance sale is on at Shoebuy. Save up to 65% on shoes you want anyway. Because you do want them. I can tell.
(Did this entry make anyone else picture me standing on a street corner in a trench coat, opening it up to passersby to reveal peep-toes and slingbacks hanging within? “Psssst! Ya wanna buy some platform pumps?”)
Yes. Again.
Hey, has anyone here ever heard of Restaurant.com…?
Ouch! Stop throwing things.
Through January 24th, 2008, use coupon code CHOICES to take 50%, netting you $25 in dining out for just $5. I know that many of you have already availed yourselves of the gazillion other times there have been coupon codes to try this out, but if you haven’t yet, why not? I get an average of two emails a week from a Restaurant.com “virgin” who finally tried it and wondered why they waited so long. No fuss, no catch, just big savings on restaurants.
Get prettier hair, my pretties
I love free samples of shampoo and conditioner. I use them when I travel, and it means I don’t have to wrangle big containers. We all know my life is complex enough without that. (Yes, it is difficult, being me.)
Anyway, if you want to try out the latest L’Oreal Vive hair stuff, go here and fill out the form.
And if you don’t want to try it out, consider filling it out, anyway. Most shelters happily accept donations of travel-sized toiletries.
Kohls is the new Restaurant.com, you know
(I feel like I’m posting about Kohls only slightly less than I do about those restaurant certificates. Sorry. But… the deals! Won’t someone please think of the deals!)
Yeah. So. Anyway! Kohls just did another round of markdowns, and everything ships for just $.99 apiece (good when you’re buying big stuff, totally annoying if you wanted to buy socks or whatever), and everyone can use coupon code NEW7523 for an additional 10% off and Kohls cardholders can use coupon code MVCSAVE15 for an additional 15% off.
I love Kohls. I love the clothes, that is. The stores makes me break out into hives. Which is why I love ordering whatever I need in several sizes, trying it on here at home, and then returning the extras to the store. It totally eliminates the part where I have to think about why the door handle in the dressing room is sticky.
Silly Mir, Clif is for kids (too)
(I have the Trix bunny stuck in my head now….)
Did you know that Clif—the folks who make Clif Bars, of course—make treats for kids, too? They do!
Absolutely, homemade is better. But under $.46 for a serving of what they think is a cookie and you know is packed with nutrients? Tempting.
The clearanced clearance just went down again
I know, I just posted about Macy’s a couple of days ago, but for two days only they’re taking an additional 40% off of the fashion clearance, which—near as I can tell—means “decent prices on fancy duds.”
The translation service is just another benefit I offer.
Save big on plus-size jeans
Here’s another one-day-only goody: Today only, all denim is 40% off at Catherines. (Catherines carries women’s fashions in sizes 16W – 34W, if you’re unfamiliar.)
Sweeten the deal with one of these coupons:
776874307 — 20% off any size order
776874406 — $20 off $75+
776874505 — free shipping on $70+
(Coupons are not stackable, so play around to see which one gives you the best deal. All codes expire February 3rd, 2008.)
And if you’re not in the market for jeans, it look like their clearance section is pretty extensive, too. Cute stuff, there!
Celebrate with savings
Happy Martin Luther King Day, everyone! I hope you’re doing something wonderful today to honor a great man—maybe you’re even participating in a day of service.
But should you wish to celebrate with some deals, I can help with that.
Today (January 21st, 2008) only, take 33% off any one item at Family Christian with coupon code 1179868. There are some exclusions, like you can’t use it on Demdaco or Willow Tree items, or VBS curricula, or electronics, but it may work on something you want.
And I know it seems like Christmas just ended (it did!), but they have a boatload of Valentine’s Day stuff….
