Well, let’s see what I’ve discovered today, shall we?

Now through February 19th, 2007, you can take an additional 30% off the already discounted clearance prices at Eddie Bauer Outlet. That brings much of their merchandise down from “they want how much?” to “I think I need one in every color, don’t you?” Not bad at all.

Additionally, I’ve decided to take 30% off the current asking price for my children, which was already completely free and included penguin footie pajamas. Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Darnit….

(Seriously, what’s with the Valentine’s make-up deals? Are they trying to prey on those who are lonely today, subtly suggesting that perhaps you wouldn’t be alone if you had the right color of lipstick?)

Anyway.

Get free shipping at Avon today (February 14th) only, using coupon code CUPID. There’s plenty of clearance on the site, and not just make-up—skin care and gifts and such as well. Apparently Avon even sells clothes. Who knew? (Not me.)

On Valentine’s Day, why give flowers or chocolate like everyone else? That’s so yesterday.

No, this year, nothing says “I love you” like “Here, honey, why not pick up some concealer, on me.”

(Just duck after you say it, I guess.)

Anyway, all of this is to just mention that through tomorrow, February 15th, 2007, you can get $25 free with your purchase of $25 or more in an e-gift card at ELF cosmetics. Just use coupon code HEART.

Remember, just about everything at ELF is just $1 apiece, so $25 will buy you a lot of makeup. $50 will probably buy enough to spackle the entire interior of your house.

Hello! It’s just past 9:00 a.m. and I am already considering eating my children. Is that wrong?

Here in New England we’re experiencing our first (!!) nor’easter of this incredibly screwed up winter season. And on account of Valentine’s Day I thought I’d make the kids some cocoa with breakfast. They are very happy, but very bouncy. Very bouncy. Should we lose power later, it’s going to be mayhem around here.

I hope you’re all warm and dry, but should you be considering a fire (hopefully in a fireplace, people) later on, perhaps you’ll be interested in the Improvements Deal of the Day, which is a nice-looking fireplace tool set marked down to $12.99 from $49.99.

It won’t help you today, while you’re spit-roasting your kids, of course. But it’s never too late to plan ahead.

In the market for some little baby trees? How much do you think those tiny trees ought to cost? How does a buck a tree sound?

Well check this out: Join the National Arbor Day Foundation for just $10, and receive 10 trees, shipped free, with your membership. You’ll also receive their bi-monthly newsletter, a tree care book, and continuing discounts on additional tree purchases. But even if you don’t want all of that, 10 trees for $10 is pretty unbeatable.

When you input your zip code, you’ll see which trees you can select for your area. I input several different zips to make sure it changes (it does).

This would be a really neat housewarming gift for someone who doesn’t have a black thumb.

They’ve just done another round of markdowns over at Brylane Home, and if you need some extra bedding or a little decorative accent or whatever, this would be a good time to check them out.

Here’s some codes to sweeten the deal:

BHVDAY14 — free Shippig on $40 (expires 2/14/07)
BHSAVE20 — 20% off any single item (expires 3/08/07)
BKFONDUE —free fondue set with any order (expires 3/10/07)
BHPATCH — free patchwork quilt with any order (expires 3/15/07)

I’ve sort of been wanting a bedspread for my monstrous king bed (where my lovely winter duvet doesn’t even reach the sides of the mattress), but as a general rule, I hate bedspreads. This’ll be a good way for me to buy something on the cheap so that I won’t have to kick myself quite so hard.

In the market for a new razor? How about a new toothbrush?

Now through the end of February, you can earn a $50 certificate on qualifying Braun or Oral-B products at Amazon. You have to spend $129 to get it, which is kind of a lot if all you need are brush heads, but if you’re buying an electric razor or a sonic toothbrush? This would be a great way to save some bucks.
