So great, they’re doing it again
Hey, remember this? Special one day savings at Leaps and Bounds and One Step Ahead? Didn’t they just do that? (Was there a clearance sale on question marks? I seem to be using a lot of them.)
I guess it was a big hit, because they’re doing it again today and tomorrow (December 20th and 21st, 2007). Take 20% off your entire order at either site with coupon code SAVE20BE. If you were waffling the other day or just plain missed it, consider this the second coming. (Oh, wait. Is it too close to Christmas to make that sort of joke? Or can I only make it because it’s so close to Christmas…?) (Again with the question marks! Question marks and sacrilege, two great tastes that… oh, nevermind.)
Pssssssst!
Been wanting some of those cool silicone spatulas? Right now this one is marked down to $.99 (88% off!) and it’s eligible for the buy 3, get 1 free promotion.
Four of those would make good filler items for $2.97….
Steam those carpets
A carpet steamer is always one of those things I think I want, but then I look at the prices and decide that I’d rather buy things like groceries.
But today Linens N Things’ deal of the day is the Dirt Devil Vision Easy Steamer for $79.99 with free shipping. Using coupon code 223823997733 takes another 20% off, making it just $64 shipped!
(It’s $100 + shipping at Amazon, where it has two favorable reviews.)
Because you need more Amazon boxes
There’s a few good things in the Home and Garden Deal Spotlight today, if you’re inclined to take a peek.
These sheets look promising, though they must be new to Amazon stock because there’s no reviews. And this Hoover Windtunnel reviews are really great.
I’m just sayin’.
Another last-minute deal
Yet another case of procrastination paying off: Shop now at Red Envelope, and on orders of $50+ choose either a free upgrade to 2-day priority shipping (coupon code NOEXCUSES) or absolutely free 2-day priority shipping if you pay with your MasterCard (and use coupon code LASTCHANCE). There’s plenty of stuff in the sale section, too.
Now finish shopping, you slacker.
To counteract your holiday eating
If you’re a fan of the Kashi GoLean Crunch cereal—which is, for me, just about the only ultra-healthy cereal I can stomach without just throwing in the towel and reaching for the Froot Loops—you might be interested in the 4.3 ounce 24-pack currently on sale at Amazon for $15 (63% off). You can also use coupon code KASHI5OF to take another $5 off, making the cost about a dime per ounce.
Eligible for free Super Saver Shipping, too, of course. (If you’re really lucky, maybe Amazon will ship all 24 boxes separately!)
Another big sale at Crazy 8
They’ve slashed prices over at Crazy 8 once again, and—as always—shipping is absolutely free.
I have to tell you, I’ve been very pleasantly surprised by this store. I ordered a couple of shirts when they first came on the scene and was astounded by the quality when they arrived. They fabrics are colorful and thick and so far the pieces have stood up well to washing (not a lot of shrinkage, etc.). They are fast replacing The Children’s Place as my go-to kids’ clothing store of choice.
Why yes, I did just buy my son another batch of shirts. What, was I expected to be able to resist this?
For the long car trips
Need to plug something in while in the car? Something that doesn’t have a car adapter? For $10 shipped you can plug it all in and it’ll even shut off automatically if it might overload or drain your car’s battery.
Just for reference, you can’t use this to run your hairdryer or anything power-sucking like that. But you could use it to recharge your kid’s Nintendo DS on the 2-day car ride to visit family, even though she lost the car charger. Not that I would know anything about that. Ahem.
If you’re wanting a Nintendo wii for the holidays
If the one special thing on your Christmas list this year is a Nintendo wii, and you’ve been combing the online sites and visiting all of your local stores in desperation, take heart.
Apparently, Nintendo is now giving rain checks. If you have a GameStop store near you, you can reserve one to be available in January. You won’t have it for Christmas morning, but at least you’ll know you’re getting one.
It’s pandariffic
Do you collect Steiff bears or Christopher Radko ornaments? This 2007 limited edition panda set is currently just $36 (70% off) and includes an 11″ bear holding a 5″ ornament. Steiff bears are generally considered amongst the finest in the world, and Christopher Radko ornaments are collectors’ items as well.
This would be a very swanky gift for the family that just had a baby, or (even better) for the family who just returned from an adoption trip to China.
