Choose your promotion
(It’s like a Choose Your Own Adventure kind of thing, except that it’s not all that adventuresome and at the end you get a box of stuff in the mail. Yay!)
Pick either one of the following to shop Sierra Trading Post right now:
1) Get free shipping on your $75+ order through July 4th
or
2) Take 10% off your $100+ order through August 1st.
Actually, those might be combinable. I’m not sure. I would test it out but I’m not allowed to buy anything until I put away everything that’s already here, which is very bad news indeed because at our current pace we won’t be settled in for another three months.
Stock the gift closet
It’s time for toys! Through July 8th, Toys R Us is having their big Summer Toy Blowout with prices up to 75% off.
There are lots of deals to be had, although their shipping tends to be no bargain. (For the best deals, combine all purchases into a single order.) Everything you buy now is less shopping you need to do during the crazed retail holiday season, so consider having a look if toys are on your must-have list.
This Christmas I’m just going to tell the kids I bought them a new house. They will totally love that, I’m sure.
It’s educational, you know
If you aren’t saving all of your favorite PBS shows on your Tivo (or your NotVo, as my kids have taken to calling our DVR), you might be interested in knowing that right now you can take 15% off The Best Sellers of 2007 at ShopPBS.org. Lots of goodies there, and it’s totally a justifiable expense because it’s edumakational and such.
(Clearly, I could use some additional edumukation myself.)
Beautiful, simple dishes
Hello! We are moved in and have our very own internet. It was touch and go there for a few hours, but it looks like we’ve rejoined civilization. Phew!
Anyway, I was browsing around and saw these Pinzon dish sets and thought they were quite lovely, as well as 60% off with free Super Saver Shipping. Just $19.99 for service for 4, plus it qualifies for the buy-3-get-1 promotion… so if you wanted service for 16, you could have it for under $60. Nice!
And no, I’m not just saying that because I still haven’t found my dishes and am sorely tempted to just buy new ones. Ahem.
If they still need shorts
Just a quick reminder: The Lands’ End Kids Summer’s End Sales Event is expiring on July 5th, 2007, so hurry up and stock up if there’s still stuff you need.
They’re not very good at reading calendars over there at Lands’ End (summer’s end? already?), but they sure do make cute kids’ clothes.
More July 4th goodness
Need stuff for the kitchen? Check out the big Virtual Sidewalk Sale over at Kitchen Collection. There’s tons of deals, plus you can take an additional 20% off of the clearance with coupon code 629708. Prices are good through July 8th, 2007.
It kind of makes me wish I could find my kitchen.
Save on sunblock
I don’t have to tell you that sun protection is not one of the places to cut corners, right? You should be wearing sunblock. Your kids should be wearing sunblock. Good sunblock, that hasn’t expired. Etc. Okay, now that we’ve gotten that out of the way, you have my permission to save money on sun care products.
In fact, I happen to really like the Neutrogena stuff (good sun protection, goes on well, doesn’t stink or sting), but it’s normally a bit too pricey for my taste. But check this out: For the month of July, take an additional 20% off eligible Neutrogena suncare products at Amazon with coupon code NtgJul07.
Most of it is already 25% off, so that brings it down to prices you don’t have to fret about. And that frees you up to worry about more important things, like what exactly is that furry thing at the bottom of your purse?
Bonus buys at Kohls
Ooooh, you know what’s happening this week? That’s right! The 4th of July! A celebration of our nation’s independence and our right to have lots of big sales. God bless our founding fathers and their coupons. Yes.
Through Wednesday, July 4th, you can check out the multiple bonus buys at Kohls and enjoy $.99 shipping per item. (Okay, this shipping promotion is not my favorite, because it really adds up if you’re buying lots of little things. But it’s great for small orders or large items.) Make it even better with coupon code NEW8559, good for 10% off your entire order through July 7th, 2007.
I would totally be shopping if not for the fact that I have eight gazillion boxes here to unpack before I can even find my closet.
Overstock weekend promotions
I’ve noticed a few folks asking what’s up with the free Club O deal and complaining that they haven’t heard back yet on their emails. Do not fret! I think they’re probably still working through all of the emails. I haven’t gotten mine yet, either, but it may be a few more days.
In the meantime, all weekend long you can enjoy 75% off select sale items along with free shipping at Overstock. Just in case there’s something you can’t live without. Or you bought a new house or something.
(Must. Look away. From the patio furniture.)
Veggie Booty recall
Wow, I go away to paint for the day in my new house and come home to seventy emails about the Robert’s American Gourmet Veggie Booty recall. Thanks, everyone, for mailing in to let me know. I know a bunch of us have ordered this from Amazon lately, so check your pantry and read the recall info if applicable.
I don’t know about you, but I like my Veggie Booty without salmonella, so I guess I’ll be throwing out the case I just bought.
