Arrested Development, cheap

I’ll confess to not really understanding the cult following which Arrested Development has enjoyed. I wanted to like it, I really did, but it never rose past “meh” for me, no matter how many times I tried to watch it. I’m not sure why.

But maybe you think it’s the greatest show ever, or maybe you know someone who thinks it’s the greatest show ever… in which case, getting 3 seasons on DVD for under $34 is probably pretty exciting.

I’m not sure what it says about me that I would rather have three American Girl CDs than three discs of this show. I think maybe I shouldn’t think too much about that.

Hey, I’m hip! I’m cool! I used to watch Jason Bateman on Silver Spoons just like the rest of you. Of course, I was mostly too busy being in love with Ricky Schroeder to notice him, but still! Cool! (Shut up.)

15% off for new customers, ends today

You have until midnight tonight (December 4th) to take advantage of the 15% off your entire order at Smartbargains promotion for new customers. If you’ve shopped with them before, well, I guess it sucks to be you. Or maybe you have more than one email address, in which case I’m guessing you could probably figure it out (not that I’m recommending anything).

Anyway, if you need some sheets, or a Dyson, or, um, diamond earrings (such an assortment of goods!), you might want to check it out.

Free shipping at Joann

I don’t even know what to call them anymore. Didn’t they used to be Joann Fabrics? Then they tried to be more mainstream as Joann Crafts? And now they’re just plain Joann. The Sewing and Craft Store Formerly Known as Joann was a bit too long for a URL, I guess.

Anyway. You can get free shipping on your entire order at Joann through December 7th, 2007 (that’s this Thursday) with coupon code DECFSE6. You’ll also get a $10 online gift card with your $100+ purchase, using that code. And a pony!

Okay, you won’t really get a pony. He’d probably make a mess, anyway.

Thanks, Isabel!

For your FLY kid

To the left here you’ll see an excellent price on a FLY Pentop computer bundle pack ($69.99, 61% off). That’s a fabulous price on a hot toy, and it ships for free.

But if you look more closely, what you’ll also see is confirmation of everything that is wrong and bad and evil about me. You see, my daughter wants a FLY pen. Every time the commercial for it comes on the television, she drops everything to marvel at its wonder, then leaps into her sales pitch with me.

“It could actually HELP me do my HOMEWORK,” she offers, sure that that will push me over the edge. “It’s an EDUCATIONAL toy. Don’t you care about my education??”

I do care, and that’s an awesome price; but I finished my Christmas shopping this summer. There will be no FLY under the tree for my daughter. Because I am the meanest mommy in the world, and my children will have to sell matchsticks on the corner to support their uneducated selves.

Learn from my tale of woe.

Stacks and Stacks and a plane ticket

This is a could-be-great, might-be-useless sort of deal. You just have to check out the details to see if it’s worth it for you.

Stacks and Stacks carries all sorts of things to help you organize your home. If I had an endless supply of money, I’d buy the place out. I pink puffy heart creative storage solutions. Ahem. Of course, it’s not always cost-effective to buy this stuff, but I do often go there and browse and drool.

Anyway, check it out: You can earn a free companion airline ticket when you spend $125 between now and January 15th, 2007. Go read the rules and restrictions, because there’s lots of fine print. But if you were thinking of buying something at Stacks and Stacks anyway, and the ticket might work for a trip you were already planning… it might be a nice freebie.

Disney Cars and coupons

This one is good today, December 3rd, only.

First, check out today’s Daily Deal on Cars diecast vehicles. That’s a pretty good deal right there, if you’re into Cars.

Here’s where it gets good: Use coupon code DISNEY25 to take 25% off your total, then use coupon code BONUS10 to take another 10% off. Codes do stack, and they work on all the standard stuff if the Cars vehicles don’t float your boat.

Holiday countdown at L.L. Bean

Check in every day until Christmas for “special offers, holiday ideas, and fun facts.”

(Here’s a fun fact: Today’s offering—the gingerbread lobster house—isn’t even on sale. Hmph. But yesterday’s deal was pretty nice.) Remember that you can use coupon code 2333950 for free shipping if you decide to order something.

And yes, it’s a gingerbread lobster shack. They’re wacky up in Maine, you know.

For your sports nut

Did you know that ESPN has a store? They do! What do they sell there? Who knows! Oh, I kid. They sell all kinds of sports stuff. Perfect for the hard-to-buy-for remote-hog on your couch. Not that I want to make any assumptions.

Anyway, right now you can take $20 off your $75+ order ESPNshop.com! Just use coupon code LKSP6275. Code is valid through December 3rd, 2006. They also have a free shipping code available through December 10th; that one’s LKSP6227.

Both codes work in the outlet. All items are sports-fanatic approved.
