You never know when you’re going to be hit by a bus and people are going to see those saggy, baggy, pitiful stretched-elastic panties you’ve been meaning to throw out. Think about it.

Right now at Jockey you can take 25% off your order with coupon code SUMMER7. The code is valid through September 30th, 2007, so you have plenty of time to figure out what to buy.

Just please, throw those old ones away already.

Now through September 5th, 2007, if you shop at Smartbargains, you can take $25 off your $50+ purchase at checkout if you pay via Paypal.

You probably have some Paypal laying around, anyway. And what’s not to like about taking half off?

Sometimes I wonder if Amazon employs people whose job it is purely to monitor their sales trends and then put stuff on clearance when it’s not selling well. Because honestly I can see no other explanation for things like this beauty right here.

Regardless, they’ve already started their big Labor Day Kitchen and Home Sale over there, and there’s actually some good stuff on sale. And also, um, cat toilets. So you know, something for everyone.

After a lackluster few weeks, today’s On the Counter offerings at Lands’ End include 75 different deeply discounted items. You could wait for further price reductions, but then you run the risk of stuff selling out. Have a look.

Ahhhhhhh. It’s my favorite time of year; the kids are settling into their school routine, but they haven’t yet tired of it. Plus, Fall is coming! I know this because it’s been much cooler the last few days. Why, yesterday it only hit 98! Ahem.

Anyway, it’s Friday, and you know what that means. Yes, it’s time to delve into the Amazon Friday Sale to see what goodies we might discover.

This is the GPS unit we own and I love it with a mad, passionate fervor that results in squeezing it and calling it George. Oh, okay… that’s not exactly true. We don’t call it George. It has a woman’s voice with a British accent. So we call her Audrey.

Always using batteries for your cameras, wireless mice, and the like? You need at least one great battery recharger, if not two.

Because I am a 10-year-old boy at heart, what I love most about this Doodle Monster is not that you can write on it or even the price, but that he appears to be licking his own intestines. Ewwww.

I showed this DeWalt set to my husband and he tried to make a comment, but it was very difficult to understand him through all of the drooling.

I’m thinking of buying a few of these motion-sensing light sockets, but I’m still trying to decide where to put them so as to torture my family most.

They can call this a “toning system” all they want, but I know a Thighmaster when I see one.

This is one serious tent. I doubt it would even fit inside my car, given that I’m pretty sure it’s three times as large as my car.

Do you like green eggs and hammocks? (I hope so, because nothing rhymes with hammocks so that’s pretty much all I’ve got on that.)

I know we’ve had a lot of silverware deals lately, but have you ever looked at your flatware and said to yourself, “Self, what these need is more game birds?”

Oooh, our favorite quesadilla maker is back in the Friday Sale. Have you gotten one yet? Why not??

Did you know that Corelle makes stoneware? This set qualifies for the $20 off on two sets promo I posted a few days back, too, so you could get yourself service for 8 for just $60 shipped.

My kids will eat these pita chips like they’re candy. They’re really that good. (And I pay a lot more than that for them, usually.)

Have a great weekend, everyone!

If you’ve never shopped Plow and Hearth before, now’s the time. Through August 26th, 2007, you can use coupon code 4FREE to ship your order for free.

That goes for absolutely anything, of course, but the best deals are to be found in the Outlet.

And despite the store name, I haven’t seen a single plow. Go figure.
