Darling shoes for tiny tootsies

Thanks to Kristine for pointing out the latest deal at Darling Shoes (your source for excrutiatingly adorable infant/toddler shoes):

Use two coupons together to save up to 70% on select shoes! I’m a wee bit confused about how you know which ones qualify, but here’s the deal. Use coupon code FIFTY for 50% off of anything, I think. Then you can stack coupon code EASTER for an additional 20% off some Easter shoes, although not ones on clearance or ones that are new to their inventory. It’s that second code that confuses me a little, but hey, go use the 50% off one and then try the other as well and see what happens.

You have just two days—until 11:59 p.m. on Thursday, March 15th—to take advantage of the discounts. And if you really love me and have little ones small enough for these shoes, you’ll also bring them over and let me smell their delicious baby heads.

Feed Fido for free

Yet another free pet food deal: fill out a brief survey and get a coupon for a free 5-pound bag of dog food or 4-pound bag of cat food.

Nutro isn’t cheap food, either. This is good stuff without yucky fillers.

Don’t have a pet? Increase your good karma; fill it out and donate the food to your local shelter or pet rescue.

All aboard for phonics

Right now you can get the Leap Frog Phonics Railroad for just $14.98, down from $59.99. Shipping will run you about $10 (it’s big!), but if you haven’t used Google Checkout yet, you can get an additional $10 off using that.

Even if you pay for the shipping, it’s still a great deal. If you have a little one, maybe Santa would like to tuck this away…?

Say goodbye to dead flashlights

When the wind-up flashlights first started coming out, I remember thinking that they were a great idea, but too expensive. The prices have come down since then, and it’s a great item to have for emergency preparedness or in your car. (I keep one in my glove compartment.) True, they’re not as bright as conventional flashlights… but they also don’t eat batteries.

Anyway, if you want one, here’s the best deal I’ve seen: This wind-up LED flashlight is currently $8.99, but code windup will bring the price down to $5.99. Shipping is just $2.85.

(Just for reference, LL Bean sells a suspiciously similar one for $19.95.)

But saying the name still makes me say “bless you”

Have you heard of Suunto watches? I am not a sports person, so truthfully, I’d never even heard of these before. But apparently if you’re an outdoorsy, sporty kind of person, these are the watches to have. Pick your model depending on your sport.

Right now, Amazon is offering 40% off select Suunto products with coupon code 7A3ZXLOT. These are not cheap products, so this isn’t anything you’ll be picking up on a whim, but if it’s something you’ve been shopping around for, this is a great deal.

And who doesn’t want GPS on their wrist? No one, that’s who.

Wanted: twirly play dresses

I have this friend who has been chin-deep in work lately, so much so that the occasional one-line email from her feels like a feast. So you can imagine my delight when I got a full-length email from her! But then I realized it was an advice question. Hmph. But we’ll look at it anyway, because I love her, and it’s a good question.

I’ve lost my best source for hand-me-downs for daughter Maisy, and she just SHOT UP like a weed, rendering last years clothes ALL useless. Yesterday I made the mistake of going shopping for 5 year old girl clothes at a few inexpensive places. Apparently, if you want clothes that don’t cost a MINT, you have to be willing to pimp your kindergartner out like a Pussycat Doll. No, thank you.

Maisy is girly girl, and she wants to wear play dresses and skorts in fun, frilly colors. Fine. I want her to wear age appropriate things. The girls clothes at Hanna Anderson and Gymboree are exactly right in STYLE, but LORDY I can’t spend 30 – 40 bucks per dress without having an aneurysm. She will wear them for one season! Where can I find decently priced play dresses that are affordable, but still comfortable, fun, and LITTLE GIRL looking?

I adore Maisy and don’t want her all hooched out, so I got on this right away. read more…

Taking the green thing a little too far


St. Patrick's Sale!
I have to link to this just because it’s cracking me up. Right now at Buy.com, you can save up to 54% on select items in honor of St. Patrick’s Day. The catch? Everything on special either contains the word, or actually is, green. Or Irish.

Did you know that Kermit the Frog wrote a book? Well he did, and it’s on sale. You could read it while listening to your Green Day CD on your new green iPod. Erin go bragh, baby.

Rise and shine; it’s Christmas!

Well, no. It isn’t really Christmas. But assuming that you’ve managed to get through the clock change and you’re up early wondering what to do with yourself, may I suggest a bit of Christmas shopping?

Oh, I know it’s only March. But that’s how you get the deals, you know. Check out these deeply discounted Christmas items at Amazon, some of which even qualify for the current Buy 3, Get 1 Free promotion. You may find a few things you’ll need next December, and get them for pennies on the dollar because you were smart (and pretty, don’t forget pretty) enough to shop early.

Overstock weekend coupon

If you’re like me, you’ll be over there browsing for shoe racks, after this week’s frenzy of shoe sales. Ahem.

Anyway, through about midday on Monday, March 12th, take $12 off your $120+ purchase at Overstock through that there link. Keep in mind that these coupons no longer work on media items (boohoo!), but do still work on, well, everything else.

Don’t forget to Spring Ahead this weekend

I woke up joyful this morning, because it was light out. Then I remembered it’s time to change the clocks, and Monday it’ll be dark when I wake up, and then I was sad. (Okay, I’m a moron. It’s been pointed out that I had the clock direction wrong, and beyond that I’m just completely confused. Clocks? Huh?)

But then I remembered that it’s time for the Amazon Friday Sale, and then I was happy again!

I cannot justify $250 for a Scooba right now, but someday, maybe. (Picture me shaking a mop, declaring I’ll never eat turnips again.)

Obligatory cheap Calphalon pan, Dyson vacuum, and luxurious sheets.

I’m thinking of decorating the playroom with just a row of these. (Hey, it says right in the title that they’re winsome!) If I buy two extras, I’ll have someplace to put the kids when they’re bothering me.

Here’s a great price on nudity.

Don’t buy these cookies unless you’re trying to gain weight. That’s all I’m sayin’. (If you don’t listen to me, maybe you can offset it by getting this bike and riding around while you eat them. Pair it with this watch and you might even get a decent workout and a warning before you keel over.)

If you’re just here to admire the deals, rather than to shop? Be sure to check out the deeply discounted plastic Prada. Their motto is “Just as ugly, but much cheaper, now!”
