If you love Mrs. Meyer’s…
… don’t miss these coupons currently on Amazon: Clip the available coupon to get 20% off either the 3-pack of hand soap or the 3-pack of dish soap in various scents. Combined with Subscribe & Save, that brings ’em down to $8.62 or $8.08, respectively, shipped.
(And speaking of Amazon: Did anything get anything truly amazing yesterday? Prime Day seemed like a big bust, to me.)
Surprise Specials Day? Okay!
For the first time possibly ever, Macy’s is offering free shipping on absolutely every order today. No catch, no kidding.
They’re also calling it Surprise Specials Day, which means there’s tons of deals around, but only for today. And coupon code DEALS gives you an additional 20% off just about everything.
Not that I’m not enjoying Prime Day, but this is pretty good, too.
Prime Day, all day!
So Amazon‘s big Prime Day event is here, and they claim it’s going to be bigger than Black Friday. Hmmmm. They do have some deals running all day, like a $10 credit on select gift card multi-pack purchases, up to 40% off Kindle and Fire devices, etc. And of course there’s more Lightning Deals than usual. Do keep an eye on those.
My assessment is that yes, there’s plenty of deals, but—as always—some are better than others. I’m laughing at all the sold-out Lightning Deals because some of them are things like 30% off a household product. I mean, if you were going to buy it anyway, great! Save some money. But I suspect we’re seeing some thrill-of-the-chase decisions happening, here. Choose carefully. If you don’t want to miss a Lightning Deal, by all means, toss it in your cart. Then check the price and make sure it’s a deal you can’t live without before you buy.
I am a little sad about missing the deal on a gallon of Nature’s Miracle, though. That stuff is gold when you have animals. (“Honey, guess what I got you for Christmas!”)
It all ships for free, today
Happy birthday, Woot! Today you’re 11, and that means you’re starting to have mood swings, you’re developing acne, you’ve started to smell a little more pungent, and suddenly you know everything. How delightful.
To celebrate, the fine folks over at Woot are offering free shipping on every order on all of their sites, today (Monday, July 13th) only. That means you can stock up on Shirt.Woot shirts or buy a month’s supply of dehydrated food (that’s gross enough; at first I typed “foot” instead of “food” and how much would a month’s supply or dehydrated feet be, anyway?) from Sport.Woot or whatever. Pay no shipping. Zilch. Nada. None. But only today—so get shopping if you need something.
Positively shoetastic
If you haven’t visited Nordstrom Rack online lately, you’re missing out. They’ve just taken another round of markdowns on women’s shoes, and I’m currently sifting through 50+ pages of shoes available for under $25. Craziness!
Shipping is free on $100+, otherwise it starts at $7.95. But do some of that back-to-school shopping now and you won’t have any problem loading up on enough deals to get the free shipping.
Coffee for everyone
If you’re in the market for a new coffeemaker—the regular drip kind, not a single-serve one—right now the Amazon Lightning Deals contain the Cuisinart DCC-1150BKFR 10 Cup Thermal Coffee Maker for just $39.99 (its lowest price ever).
After our last coffeemaker bit the dust, this is the one I ended up buying after an obsessive amount of research. I’ve been very happy with it, and I paid about 30% more than what it costs right now. It’s fast, it keeps the coffee warm, and it feeds my addiction. Er, I mean, it makes tasty coffee. That’s it.
Mark your calendars!
If you’re a frequent Amazon shopper, you’ve likely already seen their promos for Prime Day, which is coming up on the 15th (this coming Wednesday). It’s going to be bigger than Black Friday, deal-wise… at least, that’s the promise.
The catch? You have to have Amazon Prime to snag the deals. If you’ve been thinking about getting it, or if you’ve never had a free trial and want 30 days for free, go sign up for Prime now so that you can snag the deals later this week.
I can hardly wait.
Remember when gaming was with a board?
If you want to lure your child away from screens this summer, may I suggest one of the greatest board games ever made? Right now Amazon has Carcassonne for just $24.42—its lowest price ever—and this is a great game for kids 8+ and adults alike.
I don’t know if it’s truly going to seem more fun than Minecraft to the kids, but if you’re like me, you can declare that “We’re going to have fun as a family, darn it!” (except darn might not be the world I would use…) and force them to play, anyway. But they will like it, I promise.
Anime? Don’t mind if I do
If you or your nerdalicious offspring enjoy anime, the industry standard is arguably Cowboy Bebop, and the entire series is the Bonus Deal of the Day in the Amazon Gold Box right now for 60% off.
This would be a great surprise for the kids before a long car trip if you have a portable DVD player, or maybe I’m the only person who thinks in terms of an item’s value being directly tied to how quiet it renders my teenagers….
Celebrate with free shipping
If you, like me, love Williams-Sonoma when there are sales to be had and free shipping, well, happy Independence Day—go check ’em out. There’s hundreds of markdowns and every order ships for free with coupon code USA20.
Alternatively, you can use coupon code EXTRA20 for an additional 20% off clearance prices, which may be a better deal, depending.
Do I need a quesadilla basket for the grill? Um. Maybe. For $4.99 shipped, I’m inching closer to “yes.”
