You know how I love Fridays

by | Jun 1, 2007 | | 6 Comments

Really, how did I know the weekend was coming, before the advent of the Amazon Friday Sale? I’m sure I spent Friday just like I spent every other day, and that’s such a pity when there are cheap products to be had.

Anyway.

Did I ever tell you that I once used the Luvs diapers “leak-proof” guarantee? I called and told them a diaper had leaked (it had), and they sent me coupons for free packages and coupons for dollars off and I was so impressed, I kept using them.

There’s some pretty good reviews on this Olympus camera, if you’re in the market for a small digital point-n-shoot. 43% off is pretty nice, too.

I want the kind of shower that could have this showerhead. Oh, silly me—I would have to have a house to move into next month, first. (Though that would make quite the statement in my van down by the river.)

I am unable to look at this Dewalt kit without inserting a few hearty Tim “The Tool Man” Taylor grunts. I’m sure he would approve of this one.

These HyLoft bins aren’t actually for stringing up your children, but that’s always what I picture when I see them. One bin for each kid, high up on the garage wall. What?

Green Eggs and Hammocks! I think I like them, Sam I Am.

One of those fancy weather gadget things would be good for checking to see if it was nice enough out to go sit in your hammock. Just sayin’.

This is a great deal on a fancy electronic razor that sort of looks like a space-age weapon. Halt! Or I’ll give you a really close shave!

I have no idea if this tabletop vacuum is any good, but I can’t stop laughing. (oink!)

Clearance on boutique baby duds

by | May 31, 2007 | , | 10 Comments

Royal Bambini is closing their online doors, and clearancing out their remaining stock for $3 and $5 apiece. Some cute stuff is still available (mostly infant sizes, though some larger).

This would be a great way to scoop up a nice baby gift and look like you spent more than you did. Shhhh, I won’t tell if you don’t.

More Amazon kiddie-lit goodness

If you went nuts ordering books thanks to this post you may find yourself annoyed with me for pointing out more great titles. In that case, look away! I think I see something shiny over there! Go check it out!

If you’re still here, you may be interested to know that the big Ologies Collection is now offered with free Super Saver Shipping. (If you ordered it with shipping, you may want to see if they’ll refund you. If you were waffling because of the shipping cost, now’s the time to grab it.)

Junior studying the Constitution in school? You won’t want to miss the whimsical We the Kids. It’s learning tucked in amongst easy-to-understand language and fun illustrations, and at 80% off it’s hard to say no.

Have a budding Hemingway on your hands? She might enjoy The Aspiring Writer’s Journal. Wouldn’t this be a great activity-sparker to have around this summer?

Okay, feeling too educational and stodgy? Pick up some Dino Poop. Sorry, it’s still educational… but at least the title will make everyone giggle.

Keep poking around in books… I’m finding tons of stuff at 80% off. And I am powerless against cheap books. Eep.

Free DVD from Fisher-Price

Heroes! Excitement! And best of all, it’s absolutely free just because they’re hoping your kid(s) will love it so much you’ll run out and buy all of the supporting merchandise! That’s completely generous and not at all sneaky, really!

Just go sign up here for your free Planet Heroes DVD. And say thank you to Stephanie for sending the deal along. Thanks, Stephanie!

Classic is good, but Closeout is better

by | May 31, 2007 | | 1 Comment

Thank goodness that Classic Closeouts gives us both of these things together, right?

Through June 28th, you can shop Classic Closeouts and take $10 off your $50+ order with coupon code SPRMDS. Plus, all orders over $40 receive free shipping automatically.

(Fair warning: I find a lot of the items on their site to be less “classic” and more “streetwalker,” but it’s worth digging through to find the less frightening bargains.)

Because life requires more than a nice purse

by | May 30, 2007 | | 6 Comments

So, I guess this Bloggers Choice Awards thing is going on a bit longer than I’d thought. I thought maybe they’d leave the voting open for, say, a month. But it appears that they’re going to leave it open for approximately forever.

And in the meantime, some blog about expensive purses is creeping up and threatening to knock Want Not out of the lead. Can we let that happen? I don’t think we can. I mean, let’s consider this.

They have: Purses.

We have: Dr. Pepper beef jerky, shoes shoes and more shoes, toys, books, clothes, general budget advice, free coffee, free ice cream, free dog food, free panties, free movies, Roombas, Scoobas, Dysons, people getting pregnant by Palm Pilots, cheap Pepsi, and a whole bunch of other stuff.

I think the choice is obvious. Please go vote.

Um. . . ewwww?

I can’t decide what freaks me out more about this product: That someone thought to make it, or that people are apparently buying it.

(Would it be more or less gross to have Diet Beefy Dr. Pepper instead? Discuss.)
