Two great words that go great together
I’m referring, of course, to “Outlet” and “Sale.”
Through May 28th, 2007, everything at the Eddie Bauer Outlet is an additional 30% off, no coupon needed.
I shouldn’t be shopping right now, so I’m trying not to look. I already know that when it comes to Eddie Bauer, my reaction is usually “I’ll take one of everything.” But you could have a look, sort of on my behalf. You’re so sweet that way.
I justify the caffeine by getting it cheap
Sometimes I have to set little rules for myself. You know what I mean. Like, no going to the store in my pajamas just because I’m lazy. No killing people who cut me off in traffic. No eating nothing but chocolate on bad days.
One of my rules is that I’m only allowed to have one can of caffeinated soda each day. I know it’s not good for me, but I like it. If I limit myself to one can, I not only feel like it’s not that unhealthy (denial! not just a river in Egypt!), but I have a little goal each afternoon (“after I finish this next assignment, I can go have my diet coke”).
When I find a great deal on soda, it always thrills me. Mostly because my strict one-can-a-day rule means that if I go stock up, I’m set for a few months.
This week at Target, Pepsi 12-packs of soda are featured at 4 for $11. (Don’t leave me a comment telling me you only drink Coke. I don’t care. But do keep in mind that Pepsi products include things like Mountain Dew and my personal favorite, Sierra Mist Free.) That’s a pretty good deal, right? Just $2.75 for 12 cans! But it gets better. Go on over to the Target Coupon Generator and print out some coupons for $1 off Pepsi products, and you can score those 12-packs for just $1.75 apiece.
Plus, it’s an excuse to go to Target. Me likey.
Shooooooooes, Gromit!
We’re past the point where I have to justify my love of shoes, right? Right??
Today only (May 21st, 2007), use coupon code 52107CMMSN to take $10 off your order at Shoebuy. Free shipping and free returns as always, and now an additional $10 off!
If that’s not a little sign from above that you need a new pair of sandals, I don’t know what is.
Free Tide
Tide is my favorite laundry detergent, even though a part of me believes I should switch to something more natural and organic and involving tree bark rather than chemicals. Hey, at least I recycle the bottles.
Anyway, they’ve got this new formula specifically designed for use in cold water, and you can go get a free sample of it. I just use the regular Tide in cold water, but I’ll still take the freebie and try it out. You know what they say—two things in life are certain: Death and laundry.
(Wait, what? Oh, right. Taxes, too.)
Ask and ye shall receive
I want to thank everyone who took the time to give me some feedback in this post. I appreciate your candor, and I’m mulling over the responses and the possibilities and will hopefully be making some changes and improvements based upon your responses. So, good job! Pat on the back for you!
In the meantime, many folks chimed in to say that free shipping deals are one of their favorite things. I live to serve: This week only (through noon on Tuesday, May 29th, 2007) you can get free shipping on your order at Red Envelope by using coupon code DADSHIPPING. They have all the usual stuff, as well as five pages of clearance items.
The sale is ostensibly in preparation for Father’s Day, but I see a lot of deeply discounted diamonds in the clearance. And didn’t you have something to do with him becoming a father? That’s what I thought.
A camcorder for the masses
Do you remember this deal on a Vidster? I bought one for my daughter, and she received it last month for her birthday. I’d have to say that it is probably the single greatest gift I’ve ever given her. It has provided countless hours of entertainment and it makes decent little videos.
Ever since giving it to her, I’ve been thinking about getting a camcorder for me. More to the point, I’ve been wondering why there isn’t an adult equivalent to the Vidster; something that’s compact, no-frills, easy to use and that produces usable output. It turns out that the very product for which I’ve been pining already exists: It’s called The Flip
No, it’s not fancy or elaborate, but at just $125 and about the same size as an iPod, I’m going to say that for most of us, it’s probably plenty of functionality and a great price. Just look at those reviews, picture slipping it into your pocket, and try to tell me you’re not intrigued.
I may just need to buy myself a little wedding present.
‘Tis the season
I’ve used Airborne as a preventive when I fly, because if there is a single cold germ on a plane, it will work its way through the recirculation system and fly up my nose like a moth drawn to a flame. (Perhaps my sinuses glow brightly. Now there’s a disturbing image.)
Well now there’s a whole new Airborne formula, and you can try it for free. This Seasonal Airborne claims to promote optimal histamine levels. That sounds pretty good, because right now I have histamine to spare. Helloooooo, Spring! I have some histamine!
So give it a try, if you and your histamine are so inclined. Thanks, Melanie!
Since the lice, “It’s better at the Bug” creeps me out
Fashion Bug’s tagline notwithstanding, they do appear to be having a big Customer Appreciation event today. Today only, May 20th, take 40% off everything, no coupon required. There are some exclusions, so read the fine print before you shop.
And while coupons aren’t required, this is Want Not, you know, so coupons are always encouraged! Sweeten the deal with one of the following:
776183006 — $20 off $75+
776182909 — $10 off $50+
776182800 — 15% off, no minimum
776183105 — free shipping on $75+
All coupons are valid through July 26th, 2007, but the overall 40% off is only today. Try not to think about lice while you shop. You’re welcome.
Too late for me, but still exciting
I’m going to reveal just what a huge Target dork I am by saying this, but I’m excited and I have to share.
Target is now carrying Isaac Mizrahi wedding dresses. Just search mizrahi wedding to find them.
They’re simple and pretty and best of all, Target-priced. I suppose most brides would poo-poo the idea, but I for one think it’s brilliant. I could totally have gotten into the idea of getting my wedding dress at Target.
Even more Amazon goodness
As if the Friday Sale wasn’t enough, it turns out they’re also having their Spring Toy Clearance
They have—amongst other things—five pages of deeply discounted games. My fingers are all twitchy. (I love games we can all play together without me feeling the urge to either kill the children or myself. I am looking at you, Candyland.)
