Further reductions on classic styles
The older I get, the more I love Eddie Bauer. I don’t know if this is because I’m learning the value of better-made clothing or if I’m becoming an old fuddy duddy and really their stuff is boring (don’t answer that; I prefer to call it “classic”), but either way, I dig ’em.
They’ve just reduced everything again. Shop the Eddie Bauer Outlet and take an additional 30% off the already reduced merchandise, automatically. Snap up a few summer pieces at these deeply discounted prices, and you’ll be set for next year.
Or if you live in the south like me, you still have several months to wear this stuff. Even better.
Got Paypal? Get books!
As annoying as I often find Paypal to be for doing things like dealing with eBay, it’s handy to have around. Like right now, for example—through September 5th, 2007, you can take $10 off your $40 order at Barnes & Noble if you pay with Paypal. Just use coupon code D9U3D3W.
Because it’s always a good time to buy more books.
Spin for free
I don’t know what this magazine is, possibly because I am old and decrepit and unhip, but it looks as though Spin is a more modern Rolling Stone. Or maybe I’m totally wrong and it’s all about making your own yarn. Either way, you can get yourself a free subscription if you’re interested.
Fundraising for fun and insanity
I realize that not everyone is back to school yet, but my kids have been back for a couple of weeks, now, and the dreaded Fundraising Plague has already descended. Yes, the kids came home with glossy pamphlets of overpriced junk, all in the name of raising money for school.
I want the school to have money. I want the school to have buckets of money! The more the better! But I don’t want to buy this stuff, or try to sell it to others. It offends every sensible (read: frugal) bone in my body.
Instead, I try to keep the teachers in mind when I’m out snagging bargains; I donate supplies throughout the year and hope that’s equivalent, somehow, to hawking stationery.
Does anyone have any other creative ways of dealing with this? I’m open to suggestions, and I know you pretty, pretty people are not spending $8 on a roll of wrapping paper.
Just debate about it somewhere else
Every time I post about Dale & Thomas Popcorn, no matter how good of a coupon I include, people come and complain that Wow, that stuff is way too expensive! So, yes, fair warning: It’s expensive. Too expensive for you? Don’t buy it. Problem solved!
But if you’d like to try it, go check them out and try coupon code NANNY7 for $20 off. That’ll get you one of their 6-pack samplers for about $16 shipped, I think. Yes, that’s still a lot. Yummy stuff, though, and great for teacher gifts. Or eating late at night while the kids are in bed. Just sayin’.
Insert witty eating-out banter here
As much as I love the frequency of Restaurant.com codes, I’ll confess I’m running out of new and different things to say about them. Because it’s discounted restaurant certificates, and coming up with something new to add every couple of weeks when they do a new code is haaaaaaaard.
(Yes, it is tiresome being me. Why do you ask?)
Anyway, go on over to Restaurant.com and through August 31st you can use coupon code COAST to take 60% off and get a free $10 certificate with every order. That’s $35 worth of eating out for just $4.
Really, do I need to say anything else?
One million free coupons can’t be wrong
Go get yours, and “eat mor chiken.” (Why yes, I do find the campaign of cows advertising for Chik-fil-A to be hilarious; why do you ask?)
Even bigger savings for him
Not only is there a ton of inventory on clearance over at Jos. A. Bank right now, but through today you can use coupon code PFD87 to take an additional 50% off those items. Hey, it works on regular-price stuff, too, but I know you want the biggest bang for your buck.
I know I post about this place fairly often; they have classic, quality menswear at decent prices when you get it on sale like this. Good stuff all around.
So go on—make him look like a million bucks without spending that much.
More customized goodness
Remember this post about getting a customized mousepad on the cheap? (I’ll refresh your memory: It’s at ArtsCafe.) There’s lots of other products there, and I for one was waffling because I wanted the business card holder but the code from my first post only gave free shipping on that, and I wasn’t sure I wanted to pay, and…
… sometimes procrastination pays off. Code SRDW99 gives you many of those items (including the business card holder, and some others, but I’m not sure which all it includes) for just $1.99 plus the $3 shipping. So I got my card holder for $5 shipped, which was very reasonable I think. Also, coupon code SRDW99 appears to take some money off the more expensive items for which the other coupon doesn’t work. Again, I’m not entirely sure what works and what doesn’t—play around and see—but it’s a great selection of personalized items at very reasonable prices.
Post-Its for beginning readers
I see… a house covered in little yellow notes in your future. But! I also see a young child gaining mastery of the written word.
Now which is more important, your decor or your kid’s brain? That’s what I thought.
