Stuff stockings on the cheap
The very pretty Jaime writes:
Dear (beautiful) Mir,
I know most shoppers already have their Christmas shopping done, but I am not one of them. Do you have any inside word about stocking stuffers? Preferably socks and underwear, deodorant and razors for my husband? We are keeping it simple this year with a $25 max for a stocking and I have to squeeze every last dollar til it screams.
Thank you!
First off, I feel the need to point out that—contrary to Jaime’s assertion—most Americans don’t even start their holiday shopping until after Thanksgiving. So do not fret, pretty Jaime! There’s still plenty of time, and you needn’t heap more stress on yourself this way. Please repeat after me: “I’m good enough, I’m smart enough, and doggone it, I am going to get some bargains.” There. Don’t you feel better? read more…
Know when to hold ’em
I’m not promoting gambling, you understand (even if my daughter does call our gazebo “the casino”), but if you wanted a nice little set of poker chips, you might want to check out this one, because it’s marked down to $14.99 with free shipping, and the aluminum case is all James Bond-like. Hit me!
Stuff your stockings, or stock up
Classic Closeouts has a whole bunch of items at $5 and under right now, plus you can take $10 off your $50+ order with coupon code CJ5UNDA through November 25th, 2007.
The $5 and under section is only going to be there through this Sunday, though, so get shopping if you’re so inclined.
I just noticed they carry a lot of hair and other personal grooming products. I had no idea they had that sort of stuff, and it looks like most of it is 20% off before the coupon. But maybe I’m the only freak who likes to have 3 bottles of shampoo in the cupboard at all times.
You’re not short, you’re vertically challenged
I am of utterly average height (5-and-a-half feet tall, thankyouverymuch), but I understand from a few of my less height-gifted girlfriends that finding clothes when you’re a shortish woman is just as hard as finding a pair of jeans made for a person with actual hips. You have my condolences. (And not just because I’m still looking for a pair of decent jeans.)
Well, I’ve recently discovered that Petite Sophisticate is doing something amazing that no store where I can shop does—they offer free shipping on all returns. If it doesn’t fit? Send it back. For free. It’s a risk-free proposition, and a real boon to those of us afraid to buy clothes online because of fit issues.
Should you choose to check them out, here’s a couple of coupons for you: Use code 776625006 to take $25 off your $150+ order, or use code 776625105 to get free shipping on any $120+ order. Either way, you end up with some great new clothes or you send ’em back hassle-free.
Discover wants to treat you to a movie
Got a Discover Card? Like movies?
If you use Fandango and your Discover Card to buy a pair of movie tickets, Discover will pay for the second ticket. Just because they’re swell like that.
(Now, given the cost of the average movie, that means it’ll only cost you a billion dollars to go out, instead of two billion dollars!)
10 days of giving, 10 days of savings
If you remember that whole “8 days of treats” thing they did over at Sierra Trading Post you’ll probably be thrilled to learn that it went so well, they’re doing a similar promotion again. During the “10 days of giving” there will be a new special every day (today it’s an additional 20% off casual clothing and footwear).
And if you visit through that link above, there, you’ll automatically receive free shipping on your $75+ order. (The free shipping is valid through December 4th, 2007.)
Check back every day to reap the best savings, but I dunno… I think I hear some shoes calling to me today….
I’m going to start doing these as MadLibs
I have officially run out of different ways to promote their constant coupons. So I hereby introduce… Restaurant.com MadLibs! Cut out and play with all your friends.
Oh, [exclamation]! It’s time for another Restaurant.com [noun]. It’s been [length of time] since the last one! Thank [proper noun], because I’m sure you were getting [adjective]. You should take your [relative] out to [meal] with [number] of these.
Just use code WISHBONE through November 20th, 2007, to take 50% off your [noun]. That’ll [adverb] get you $25 dining certificates for just $5! What a [adjective] [noun]!
Mmmmm. . . milkshakes for breakfast
Okay, you might want to wait ’til lunch for this one (killjoy). Regardless, go print yourself out a coupon for a free milkshake at Arby’s, if you’re so inclined.
(Darn it all, now I want a shake. And I haven’t even made my tea yet.)
Get your Xbox violence here
Dudes, I don’t know from video games. Honestly. I’m all, “X what now?” But I gather that, um, people really like video games? Like Xbox and such? And even adults like to get their game on sometimes?
Really, do not ask me.
What I do know is that this is a pretty smoking deal on two Xbox 360 games: Apparently you can get Bioshock there for $49.99—which is a decent, if not amazing, price for it—but when you do, you can also get The Darkness for free with it. That usually costs around $50 as well, so together that’s quite the bargain.
Assuming that you’re wanting to “biologically mod your body with plasmids” and such (don’t ask me, I took that from the game description and am sort of wondering if plasmids are contagious), that is.
33% off one item, today only
If you didn’t get in on some of the recent deals at Family Christian, here’s another chance to save. Today (November 12th, 2007) only, celebrate Veteran’s Day at Family Christian with 33% off one item. Use coupon code 1179123. (This code excludes the following: Gift cards, pre-buy items, Demdaco, Willow Tree, VBS, Members Only, electronics, curriculum, church resources, tickets, and Family Values items. If there’s anything left, you want, though, it’s a great discount.)
Edited to add: Emilie reports this is stackable with coupon code 1157022, which works as a buy 1, get 1 half off. Thanks, pretty Emilie!
(Dude, they are not kidding about it not working on Willow Tree items. Believe me, I’ve tried.)
