Buying makeup? Now through March 18th, 2007, if you spend $10+ at ELF you can use coupon code LUCKY to get an Ivy Eye Shadow for free.

I don’t think you’ll get it in time for St. Patrick’s Day or anything, but it’s still a nice freebie.

Edited: The link should be working now.

Okay, we need to have a little chat before I show you this deal.

Ordinarily I do not advocate getting a new credit card simply to get some sort of bonus. Lots of companies want to give you $20 or even $50 or maybe airline miles and really, is it worth the hassle? You have to keep track of the account, probably need to close it after a while, and for those of you who find credit cards a temptation, having another card is a bad idea.

If you understand how credit scores work and you’re able to obey the Credit Card Commandments, this deal is for you. If not, walk away.

Chase Freedom is giving new cardmembers a $250 bonus, redeemable after your first purchase. (Warning: site has sound.) It’s a rewards card where you get 3% back on most purchases, so if you’ve been looking for a good everyday credit card, it wouldn’t be a bad choice, anyway. But you get a $200 reward credit upon your first purchase, and when you redeem $200 at once you get a bonus $50, so voila, $250 in your pocket.

I applied online and was approved; when the card comes I’ll charge something and get my reward. Then I’ll wait about 6 months or so and cancel it. The whole thing will only affect my credit rating by a couple of points, and I’ll be $250 richer. (I wonder how many pairs of shoes… uh, nevermind.)

Because you always need more books. Or, in this case, maybe a book and a DVD.

Shopping in-store? Go print out your coupons and enjoy 25% off one book and 25% off one DVD.

Shopping online? Just use coupon code T3Y9Y9T for either 25% off a book or off a DVD, or one of each. (The code can only be used once per customer, though, so don’t use it on a book and then go back to try to use it on a DVD, because I don’t think it’ll work.)

Offers valid through March 19th, so get a move on. Thanks, Kim!

Sorry for the lack of posts this afternoon; I fell into one of the kids’ closets and I swear to you, it’s like an alternate dimension in there. 8 garbage sacks later, I emerged victorious. Anyway.

Do you have just one coffee drinker in your house? If so, this is the perfect coffeemaker for you. Brews one travel mug to perfection, and then you can grab the mug on your way out the door. It’s only half off (only half off… did you ever think there would be a time when half off sounded like a so-so deal to you?), but a decent deal on a nifty little product. Plus, it qualifies for free Super Saver Shipping once you get your order up to $25, and if you’re like me, having the excuse to buy a book is a lovely thing indeed.

(Pssst! It averages 4 out of 5 stars with over 250 reviews. Not bad at all.)

Also! I just noticed this qualifies for the current Buy 3 Get the 4th Free promotion Amazon is running in housewares. You can mix and match with other qualifying products, or just throw 4 of these into your cart and mark a few presents off of your holiday list.

I know I just did one of these, but we have yet another Restaurant.com promotion. (Thanks to Amy for sending it in, though I’m trying to figure out why all of my readers seem to receive these deals a couple of hours before they get sent to me. Puzzling.) Anyway, now through March 17th, use coupon code GREEN to save 50% off your dining certificates. Yum, yum.
