Well, that was exciting, waiting to see if Amazon remembered it was Friday, huh? Don’t they know I typically have to go out and do other stuff on Friday mornings, and I rely on them to roll out the bargains by breakfast time so I can post and get moving? Sheesh, Amazon. Get on the ball.

Anyway, on the heels of that I was very pleased to see that Overstock’s doing a decent coupon for the weekend. Go shopping and pay just $1 shipping and take 8% off your entire order through that there link. Coupon expires midday on Monday, March 19th.

And they remembered to put it up on time, so it’s working already. Ahem.

Thank goodness for the Amazon Friday Sale. If not for it, all I’d have to look forward to today would be the nor’easter that’s supposed to blow through tonight!

(New England’s motto: “Just when you thought it was over, it’s Winter. Again. Surprise!”)

Except… what’s this? The Friday Sale doesn’t appear to be up yet. I’ll check back after I get the kids off to school. There just has to be a Friday Sale today. Did you not read the part about the blizzard, Amazon? Sheesh. I give, and I give, and I give… and this is how you repay me?

[Edited, 12:24 pm: I’m back from visiting the grocery store along with the rest of the world. The snow is just starting to hit, here, and the Friday Sale appears to have finally shown up. I’m just thrilled because pirate booty is on sale. Woo!]

[Also: Not related to the pirate booty in any way, but I just stumbled across this bikini line trimmer at a great price. Don’t ask.]

Don’t have a local Target store? Don’t be sad! You can still shop them online, and right now they’re offering free shipping with $25+ in shoes and $75+ in bed/bath.

Use coupon code TGTSAVE4 for 10% off your purchase. It’s not much, but every little bit helps. (Coupon valid through March 31st, 2007.)

There’s plenty of clearance online, now, too, and you can sift through it at your leisure instead of while being jostled on all sides by other shoppers. Not that that doesn’t add to the “charm” of the whole Target experience, but, you know….

I know that soy is good for me, and yet, there are precious few forms in which I don’t think it tastes like tangy cardboard. So when a soy freebie comes along, I always get a little too excited. At least this way, if it’s awful, I haven’t spent any money.

If you promise to share, SOYJOY will send you three free bars for you and your friends. You have to check the “I promise to share” box, but fortunately there is no “I swear I am not crossing my fingers” box.

You’ve got to be intrigued by a product that claims, “SOYJOY is the kind of snack you’d bake for yourself—if you had the time (and a mango tree in your backyard).”

You have until 8:00 tonight tonight (Wednesday) to ship any size order for free at Red Envelope with coupon code SPRINGFREE. That only gives you a few hours to shop, but sometimes I’m not as on the ball as I should be.

I thought I’d put it up here quickly just in case anyone was able to use it. There’s still some cute stuff in the sale section.

I swear to you, Girl Scout’s Honor (hey, stop snickering there in the back—I was too a Girl Scout!), that I had this marked on my calendar already, but now it’s going to look like I stole it from Melissa. I didn’t, but what can I say? Great minds think alike.

Tomorrow, March 15th, is Starbucks’ Second Annual Coffee Break. Pop into any Starbucks between 10 and noon and they’ll give you a free cup of coffee. I think they’ll even give you some attitude for free, too!
