Remember that your time is worth money
Here’s a quick little tip to ponder for the morning:
The lovely Crayon Virtuoso wrote in to let me know that if you do a Lane Bryant catalog order from inside a Lane Bryant store, shipping (to your house) is free. (Pretty sure that holds true for Eddie Bauer, as well.) What I don’t know is if you can still use coupon codes, if you do that.
So. That’s an awesome tip to know, and may serve you well. Keep in mind, though, that going to the store costs you money, too. It costs money for gas, for wear and tear on your car, and it costs you your time (and we all know time is money).
In conclusion: I’m all for going to the store to avoid shipping charges if it is convenient to do so, but if it isn’t, keep in mind that your shipping charge may be “cheaper” (either in actual dollars, or aggravation, or both) than shopping in-person.
Enjoy the bullseye from the comfort of your chair
It’s rare for Target.com to offer coupons, so this is sort of exciting. Right now you can take $15 off of your $100+ order with coupon code FSHSAVE4, or $10 off of your $75+ order with coupon code FSHSAVE3.
I don’t know when they expire, on account of I have applied to the Target affiliate program three times and they never let me in and also never tell me why I’m being rejected. (I swear, I fix my hair and put on extra deodorant each time before I approach them.) It sort of reminds me of my college dating experiences (or lack thereof).
Stop looking at me like that.
Is it too early to talk about Advent?
Ooooh, I was just checking the sale items at Lego and they have a really cute CLIKITS Advent calendar on sale. (Yes, it says 2004 on it, because they do a new one every year, but there’s nothing year-specific about it, I promise.)
There’s other stuff on sale, too, of course. Just digging that calendar at the moment.
A few Overstock deals for the week
Remember when Overstock used to have the Steal of the Day? I don’t know why they stopped doing that. Probably just to annoy me.
But! Now they’re doing Steals of the Week which is pretty much the same thing, just all at once for the week.
Weekly Steals cannot be combined with other coupons, but if you decide to buy something that’s not on the Steal list, don’t forget the current coupon for April, which gives 8% off your entire order (excluding media items). Be advised that the percent-off coupons cancel out other savings, so if you want to buy one of the steals, you need to do that before you use a coupon to buy something else. Don’t try to do it in the same order; your head will explode. Trust me. Just cough up another $3 for shipping and do it separately.
Save at Boscov’s
There’s always some sort of sale going on at Boscov’s, though I tend to wait for a promotion to link them because, um, I’m cheap. But you know this.
Anyway.
Right now there’s a ton of stuff on sale, including the return of the 3-pack of cast iron skillets that sold out so quickly when they were last on sale. (They’re marked down to $9.99 from $50.)
Plus, sweeten the deal with coupon code PR247 for another 25% off your entire order. Coupon expires April 14th, 2007. Shipping is always $8.95 no matter how much you buy, so consider this your license to stock up (gotta offset that shipping cost, after all).
Restaurant.com coupon #425897245
It’s been days since we had a good Restaurant.com coupon code, hasn’t it? I was having withdrawal. Tremors, dry mouth, and a yearning for discounted steak, I tell you.
Well, help is on the way! Through tax day (that’s April 15th, in case you’re living under a rock), you can take 50% off your Restaurant.com order, plus automatically receive a free, bonus $10 certificate with every order! Just use coupon code REWARD at checkout. That means you’ll pay just $5 for $35 worth of certificates.
Feel free to invite me out to dinner with your windfall.
10% off, this week only
Had your eye on something at SmartBargains? Now through April 16th, you can take 10% off your entire order just because you’re pretty. Pinky swear.
(Discount is taken before taxes and shipping. You’ve got to click through that link to activate your coupon. Coupon can only be used once per customer. Really, your hair is looking so shiny today.)
Poker, anyone?
This would be a nice gift to tuck away for Father’s Day, because it would be just as stereotypical as a bad tie or a “#1 Dad!” mug, but a bit more utilitarian.
Hey, I don’t mean to be sexist here. Maybe you have a deep love of late-night poker games and want this great folding tabletop for yourself. It’s 80% off, after all, and then you could just gamble the rest of your savings.
(Not that I advocate gambling. Um. Shutting up, now.)
Free GPS system for those selected
This one is a long shot, but you never know.
Dash.net is looking for Beta testers for their new GPS system. They’ll be picking 2000 people from amongst those who apply, and those selected will get a free system in return for offering feedback as they use it.
In the “Optional: Tell us why we should select you as a Road Tester” box I confessed that I get lost all the time. That makes me ideal, right? Right?? Shut up.
Free travel mug
Maybe you only need one travel mug. Maybe you’ve never left a travel mug in the cup holder of your car until a new life form began to grow on the bottom of the cup, amidst your tea dregs. Maybe you’ve never brought your mug back inside and had one of your children helpfully put it “somewhere” for you, never to be found again.
Ahem.
Or maybe you like to have a spare or two around… you know, just in case. If that sounds like a good idea, you might want to go sign up for a free mug.
