Deals at Disney
Today (1/24/07) only, you can take an additional 10% off at the DisneyShopping Outlet using coupon code OUTLET. And after you enter that code, you can stack code SPRING on top of it for another 20% off. (Just remember to log in before you shop, because Disney is weird that way about coupons.) [Edited to add: Looks like SPRING is a non-outlet code. You can still stack them if you have items from both the outlet and not, but it won’t work on outlet items. Sorry ’bout that.]
They’ve got their winter clearance going with items up to 80% off, so there are definitely deals to be had. And I have a very hard time resisting stackable coupons. If they came with chocolate, that would be my idea of Utopia, right there.
Huge clearance at Catherines
Right now there’s a huge clearance blowout going on at Catherines, with more markdowns that I could possible detail here, so you’ll just have to go have a look.
Sweeten the deal with one of the following coupon codes (all of which are good through February 1st, 2007):
776801508 — 20% off your total order, no minimum
776801706 — Free shipping on your $50+ order
776801607 — $20 off your $70+ order
(Don’t forget—even if you’re not a plus size, there are accessories like earrings which are one-size-fits-all.)
Answer questions, maybe win an iPod
Are you a blogger? Take this quick survey (it took me less than 5 minutes) and you might win an iPod shuffle.
Plus, the results of surveys like these are always interesting. There’s always someone who insists that they’re blogging for world peace, or whatever. Me, I blog for the fame and fortune. Yes, the strange looks people give me when I tell them I’m a blogger and the five bucks a month I make are thanks enough.

It’s better at Bean. . . especially when it ships free
I don’t know how long this one is running, but this is the first promotion I’ve seen from them since before Christmas.
Right now you can get free shipping at L.L. Bean on any order through this link. There’s plenty on sale, including several of their invincible backpacks which are worth every single penny at full price, and are now at least half off (some are even less than that). I sing the praises of those backpacks to anyone who will listen.
It’s possible that I’ve been living in New England for too long, yes. But those backpacks wear like steel, I swear.
Never waste another gift card
“Wow, Aunt Bertha… that was really, really… thoughtful… of you to give me a gift card to Harry’s House of Prosthetics. Thanks so much….”
Sound familiar? The holidays have come and gone, and you might have a few gifts cards that you know you’ll never use. What a waste, right? Not necessarily.
Unwanted gift cards can be exchanged for different ones, or sold for cash, and everybody wins. Here’s three sites to check out:
Cardavenue
Swapagift
Plastic Jungle
(I guess I have everyone around me well-trained; I haven’t had to face an unwanted gift card in a long, long time. But if you do, now you have options.)
On a diet?
Here’s a promotion at Amazon designed for those of you who are counting calories or just dislike food that has taste. (I’m kidding! Ow, stop hitting me with those boxes of Splenda!)
Now through January 31st, 2007, you can save $10 off your $29+ purchase of qualifying South Beach Diet, Crystal Light, and 100-Calorie Pack items with coupon code NEWYEARS.
That stuff is pretty expensive, normally, so now’s a good time to stock up. Or switch to water and rice cakes. Either way.
Don’t buy the cash-only hype
I’m pretty sure I’ve talked about this before, but it’s a pet topic of mine and bears repeating, even if I have. (Besides, I can’t find it, if I did. Feel free to tell me I’m getting old and senile; I’ll forget all about it in a few days.)
More and more I’m seeing financial planning and couponing and general save-money-now sites advocating a lifestyle completely free of credit. “Pay cash for everything!” they shout. “Cancel all your credit cards except for one, and only use that one in a dire emergency!”
I especially like the people who advocate taking that one credit card and freezing it inside a gigantic block of ice in your freezer, so that you’ll have to wait for it to melt to use it (thereby supposedly avoiding impulse purchases). Those people have clearly never 1) shopped online, 2) memorized anything, 3) seen an ice pick.
The fact of the matter is this: Used responsibly, credit not only makes life simpler, it saves you money. read more…
Babies on sale
Just look at that baby; so cute, and up to 60% off! I’m tempted!
What’s that? It’s not the actual baby on sale? Oh, well then. Forget it. What in the world am I going to do with carseats and cribs and diapers and adorable clothing if I don’t have a baby? That would just be silly.
(Maybe you have a baby. Maybe you’d like to check out the sale. Free shipping on orders of $49+ with coupon code FREESHIP49, by the way.)
More flinging
Remember Wacky Wednesday? Those wild and crazy people over at Thing Fling are at it again—today is Ten Buck Tuesday.
All items $10 or under, including shipping. Something new every 30 minutes, so you can keep checking back all day long and get absolutely nothing done.
Stare deep into my bullseye
You are getting… bargains. You are feeling very much like… shopping.
(Hmmm. My Target Hypnotist act may still need some work.)
So. Target! Right now, if you buy any 3 apparel, jewelry, shoes or accessory items, you can get free shipping.
Sweeten the deal with either coupon code TCSPNDGT for $15 off $100+, or code TCLKMJFK for 10% off with no minimum order. Both coupons expire January 24th, 2007.
There’s a ton of stuff on sale, and if you can walk through a Target store or browse their website without being able to find at least three things to buy, well, I don’t think I know you.
