I’m thinking dumplings
If you got in on one of the recent deals for a whole set of Circulon or Anolon cookware, you may still be looking for a few larger pieces to round out your collection. Right now this Circulon dutch oven
And for some reason, I’m hungry now. Huh.
Free shipping on MAC cosmetics
I have a few friends who swear by this stuff. Me, I don’t understand why lipstick should cost more than $5. But then, that might explain why I hardly ever wear make-up.
Anyway! Right now you can ship any size order from MAC Cosmetics for free with coupon code ANTIQUE. Code expires October 20th, 2007.
But you’re very pretty just the way you are, you know.
Need a wii?
If you’ve been trying to track down a Nintendo wii for the upcoming holiday season, they’re in stock at Amazon right now.
(It’s 1:20 ET. I predict they’ll sell out within the hour.)
[Edited to add: Dead at 1:28. Sheesh.]
Hey, more lingerie
(Just in case y’all weren’t impressed with Victoria’s Secret yesterday….)
You can always get free shipping at Maidenform with your $75+ purchase, but right now you can also use coupon code thanks0108 for an additional 20% off, besides.
There’s plenty in the clearance section, too. So if you wear an unusual size and/or really want a bra in electric blue, you know where to go. Heh.
New markdowns, big savings
Over at Sierra Trading Post, you can still take 10% off your $79+ order through that there link, but even better, they’re doing a warehouse sale right now and have tons and tons of stuff marked down even below their regular low prices.
They have plenty of camping gear and snow gear, but also a surprising array of clothing (sporty and not) and shoes, as well as some nice home furnishings. (For those of you in snowy climes: This is generally an excellent place to pick up heavy-duty snow boots on the cheap for the entire family.)
Because cold and flu season is upon us
I came across this today and thought I’d share it for anyone who’s not yet joined the Cult of the Rice Pillow.
I won’t let my kids use heating pads because I’m a paranoid mother and I’m always afraid they’ll burn themselves. But when they get sick, they always want something warm. Enter the rice pillow! I have one for each kid and they’re awesome—just pop ’em in the microwave (and know they won’t be getting any hotter) for hours of warmth and soothing aromatherapy. When they have tummy aches they take ’em for their bellies, and when they have colds I often just tuck one down in the bed to keep their feet warm.
This one is on sale at Amazon for $5.65 and is free shipping eligible. [Edited to add: Pretty Sarah pointed out that this one is even cheaper! Thanks, Sarah!!] If you’re picking up books or whatever you might want to toss one in your cart. (You know, if you’re like me and sewing impaired. I guess if you’re not sewing impaired you could make one.)
Take 15% off
Well, it’s not as exciting as when they do free shipping, but I’ll take it: Through October 24th, 2007, you can take 15% off your total order at Red Envelope through that there link. They often have some nice bargains in the clearance section. (Hmmm, didn’t I post about those photo totes before, in fact? I think I did.)
Insert your own lingerie joke here
I used to love to crack jokes about Victoria’s Secret carrying only the slinkiest unmentionables (“Victoria’s Secret is… she’s practically naked!”), but nowadays you can buy all sorts of stuff there. Even flannel pajamas. Which confuses me a little.
Anyway, if you happen to like shopping there, it just got better: Use coupon code FREESHIP to ship any size order for free. Works on regular and sale-priced items, and you probably need some new underwear. Or something.
Try a compact fluorescent bulb for free
If you haven’t made the switch to compact fluorescents, picture me tsking in your general direction. Yes, the light is nicer from conventional bulbs. But the CF bulbs really do last longer and use less energy and make the planet happier. (I keep a conventional full-spectrum bulb in one reading lamp, and have gone to CFs for everything else.)
Anyway, compact fluorescents cost a lot more, so if that’s what’s stopping you, go here. These folks will send you one free bulb. (They’ll also sign you up for a mailing list, so use your junk email to do it. But you’ll need to respond to a confirmation email to finish registering, so check for that email, first!)
Guys wanna look good, too
Last week while we were talking revamping your wardrobe, Dave popped up with with this:
Any insights for men? My wardrobe is starting to get worn, and I have neither fashion sense nor a wife to dress me.
Now, I know that the majority of Want Not readers are female, but we do have our loyal little contingent of men, and I think this is a fair question. I spend a lot of time discussing fashion for the ladies; what about the guys?
There is, as far as I’m concerned, one cardinal rule of fashion that goes for everyone (male or female), and the rest of the rules follow from the first. Listen up: Your clothes should fit. read more…
