More office supplies
EDIT, 1/11/07: Sometimes these sorts of coupons are released to the general public by accident, and the company pulls them and/or cancels the orders placed using them. An alert Want Not reader has informed me that she placed an order with Quill using the code and was charged full price without her permission, and the company is refusing to cancel her order. That’s lousy customer service (not to mention illegal). I am placing Quill on my list of stores that will not receive my money, ever.
Quill has a coupon out to take $50 off of your $100+ order—just use code VPV. Not sure when this one expires.
Shipping is always free on orders over $45.
Coupons like these are my very favorite way to stock up on toilet paper, kleenex, and paper towels. Just a suggestion. (Edited to add: They also have snacks! And dog biscuits. In the snack section.)
Some friendly reminders
Remember this little deal? Those coupons are good through the end of the month, so if you’ve long since forgotten about it, print a new batch of coupons and get back to picking up some nearly-free toothpaste every time you go to the grocery store or Target.
Speaking of Target, I was there yesterday and they were putting out bathing suits. I know it’s been unseasonably warm in the northeast this year, but that made me twitch a little. I was there picking up a prescription, but the bathing suits reminded me that in retail parlance, it’s season-change time. What do you do when the seasons change? Why, stock up on next year, of course.
We happen to like the Circo cotton pajamas, and they were half off at my local store. I’ve got 2 pairs tucked away for each kid for next year, now, for about $4 apiece. (Yes, I’m too cheap to pay $8/pair. Stop looking at me like that.) You can wait for 75% off, but some sizes will sell out. I typically buy a couple of pairs at 50% off, then buy a few more at 75% if there are any left. Anyway, moral of the story: It’s the right time to shop ahead, if you’re so inclined.
Free crockpot liner
On the one hand, the Reynolds Slow Cooker Liners appeal to me because you cook your meal and then throw the bag away; the clean-up is done.
On the other hand, I’m not sure that I’m quite lazy enough, yet, that I’m going to spend money on something just so that I can circumvent washing my crockpot.
Honestly, I’m torn.
The only logical resolution here is for me to sign up for a free sample of the liners and then see if it’s truly something I can’t live without, before I spend any money on it.
Printable coupon for Staples
(I know, two printables in a row. Today’s theme at Want Not: Get out of your house!)
If you go print out this here coupon you can use it at any local Staples store to take $20 off of your $100+ purchase from now through January 14th, 2007. That’s a nice little perk, particularly if you were already headed out to buy exciting things like reams of paper and boxes of pens.
You can thank me, personally, for the recent rash of Staples discounts. I arranged to make them happen, simply by running out to my local Staples a little while before Christmas to buy a much-needed new chairmat and not using a coupon or even getting one that was on sale. The universe is now taunting me. But my sadness is your boon. Go! Buy a paper shredder! Get a wireless mouse! Enjoy! Don’t worry about me!
Printable coupon for World Market
If you have a World Market near you, how’d you like a coupon for 40% off any single regular-price item?
(It’s printable, not good online. Valid through February 2nd, 2007. Read their fine print for more details.)
Thanks, Jen!
Free shipping at Eddie Bauer
Now through January 9th, you can get free shipping on your entire order at Eddie Bauer with coupon code FREESHIP. There’s still a $3 handling fee, though.
I’ve been jonesing to try some of their jeans and several styles are on sale, plus if they don’t fit I can return them to the store for free. (Although that does mean going to the mall, which makes me break out in hives.)
It’s like free money
For those of you who don’t start working on your taxes until April 14th, just bookmark this and come back to it later. For those who like to plan ahead, read on.
The inimitable Kim passed this one along, and I think you’ll agree that she’s incredibly pretty:
Check out this explanation of telephone tax refunds to get the $30 to $60 back that the IRS probably won’t bother reminding you to claim.
Stay smooth, for free
If you go sign up to be on the Noxzema Shaving Squad (translation: let them have your junk e-mail address so they can send you exciting emails about how you should buy their products), Noxzema will send you one of their new 4-blade razors for free.
I like free razors. Of course, I’m just waiting for them to invent the leg-length 34-blade razor so that you can just pretty much hold it up to your calf and be done with it. But in the meantime, hey, four blades! Woo!
$.02 photo prints
Right now you can get up to 150 prints from Clark Color Labs for just 2¢ apiece. Just use coupon code 2CPrints at checkout. Coupon expires tomorrow (January 8th, 2007). Also, if you’ve never used them before, registering gets you 20 free prints as well.
A smattering of weekend deals
