You are getting very hungry

Why yes, it is Restaurant.com coupon time again, and because it’s towards the end of the month, the latest code is for 60% off. That means $25 dining certificates for just $4, and no more excuses for skipping date night.

So use coupon code SWEET to go grab some savings. Code expires October 22nd, 2007. Hurry up!

Sometimes browsing the clearance is scary

I know, I know—to each their own, and who am I to judge?

Well, I’m judging. I can’t help it. All I’m saying is, these coconuts are supposedly on clearance, and where I come from, $400 for a coconut is too much money no matter what it does. I mean, unless it mops the floors, does the dishes, brings you breakfast, and gives you a nice massage afterwards. That might be worth it. But I’m pretty sure that’s not what these do.

Deals I did

Last night as we sat out on our deck eating dinner, I was admiring our new tiki lamps and thinking that it’d been a while since I reported back on various items to let you know what I think.

First and foremost: Getting these solar tiki lamps for $30 was a great deal. My husband installed them all around our deck and they look great. I’m sad that they’re made of plastic, because the lights themselves are really cool (not only do they really look like flickering flames, they’re LEDs so theoretically they’ll last forever). I don’t know how the plastic is going to hold up to the sun and heat here, but right now I’m really pleased with them. Hopefully the price will dip again.

I finally got my free pearls from Overstock this weekend. They’re nice, especially since they were free. I know a lot of you received broken strands (and please do contact customer service if that happened to you), but mine are fine.

I’ve got my Dale & Thomas $20 gift card here on my desk… not sure yet what I’ll spend it on. Teacher gifts, most likely.

And last but not least: After picking up this ice cream maker for some insanely low price a while back (my trusty ice cream maker was cracked in my move, grrrr), I finally used it to make strawberry sorbet a few days ago. The fact that the base turns while the paddle stays stationary freaked me out at first, but the results were delicious.

What was your best score lately?

A smattering of Saturday savings

(The alliteration is a free bonus. Don’t say I never gave you anything.)

Through October 25th, 2007, take 50% everything at Coldwater Creek with coupon code WLH2710. (I got so much cool stuff for so little money the last time they had a code out. The outlet is full of goodies.) Thanks, Jamie!

Shopping for Polly Pockets? Here’s a coupon to give you $5 off. Sadly, it won’t stop you from vacuuming up her little shoes, but it’s nice, anyway. Thanks, Julia!

You can take $10 off your $40+ order at Classic Closeouts with coupon code CJFALL, through November 10th, 2007. All orders over $40 ship for free, too.

Through October 23rd, 2007, you can get free shipping plus 15% off your $50+ purchase on jewelry, watches and apparel at ShopNBC using coupon code YGEM1.

Free shipping is back at American Girl for a limited time! Through October 22nd, 2007, ship your entire order for free with coupon code AF72167. (This is the time to pick up whatever you have your eye on for Christmas, because I doubt they’ll do another code before the end of the year.)

Enjoy your weekend!

Overstock weekender

Buying from Overstock this weekend? Through October 22nd, 2007, you can take 8% off and ship your order for a buck through that there link.

(I vastly prefer these percentage off coupons to the dollars off on a minimum purchase ones, because math makes my head hurt and this way I just order whatever I meant to and don’t waste time trying to make my order come to juuuust the order minimum.)

After this, we shall never speak of it again

The voting for the Blogger’s Choice Awards—or, as I like to call them, the Interminable Voting Period Awards—finally closes tonight at midnight. I know, you’re thinking, didn’t you tell us about this months ago? And indeed I did. But this is the last time I’ll bring it up. If you haven’t cast a vote for Want Not for Best Shopping Blog and would like to, you have about twelve hours left to do so.

And did I mention how pretty you look today? Because you are positively stunning.

TGINLT

(That’s “Thank God It’s No Longer Thursday,” you understand. Yesterday was sort of a long day.)

I’m not sure that even the Amazon Friday Sale can redeem this week for me, but we’ll see what we can do.

I must be tired, because I can’t stop laughing over this Makita oiled twin hot dog compressor. I want to know if the hot dogs are flatter after they come out of it, or just smaller altogether. *snort*

Scoobaaaaaaaa!!!

In case you want to take your puppy for a walk. (And your puppy has no legs. Details.)

If you ordered these solar tiki lights last week (I did, and just got them yesterday), note that they’re $10 cheaper now. Email customer service for a refund. (Yes, they will give it back to you. Just email and say that you notice the price has dropped and would like a refund.)

Got a guy who’s dying for a Lamborghini? This should be a little more affordable, at least.

In case you still need silverware, this Oneida service for 12 is 72% off. But how you could be reading here and still need silverware, I have no idea. (Welcome to Want Not, home of deals on shoes, sheets, and silverware.)

Hey, this is the lowest price on this quesadilla maker that I’ve ever seen. Of course, that’s only 50 cents cheaper than the last Friday Sale, but that’s okay.

A stick blender set is one of those things that you never knew you needed, and then once you have one you have no idea how you lived without it. (Okay, it’s possible that’s just me. Still. Excuse me, I have to go whisper sweet nothings to my stick blender.)

I love this collage frame, and it’d be a really nice wedding gift if you’re in the market for such a thing.

Have a great Friday, everyone! I’m off to breakfast with my husband, plus it is raining here in drought-stricken Georgia, so I’m feeling more cheerful already.

Time to upgrade your gear

EMS.com Upgrade Your Gear Up to 20% Off SaleIt’s time for the big 20% off most everything sale at EMS, and this is the perfect opportunity to get that tent you’ve been eying or pick up some snowshoes for the upcoming season. (Hahaha. See how I bring up snowshoes with such glee, now that I no longer live in snow country?) Spend $100 or more and get $25 in gear bucks towards a future purchase, too.

The sale only goes through October 21st, 2007, so make it snappy.

This means I have to keep my days straight

So, remember how LL Bean used to do a Tuesday Morning Markdown, and there was one item that went on super-duper sale that day? If you’ve looked for it recently you might think they stopped doing it. But they didn’t! They just changed the day!

Very sneaky.

Anyway, now the one super-duper sale item is popping up on Thursdays (it’s a Thursday Morning Markdown, I guess), and this week it’s this wool/cashmere blazer in three different color options. In case you care. Or were wondering what happened to Tuesday mornings.

Thursday is the new Tuesday, people.
