The ubiquitous Overstock coupons
Just in case you missed, oh, the last gazillion Overstock coupons I posted, their current options are as follows:
Never ordered from Overstock before? Then you can take 12% off your first order with them.
Friday can only mean one thing
It means I get to sleep in tomorrow! Woohoo!
Oh, wait. I guess it also means it’s time for the Amazon Friday Sale. Details.
Truth be told, it’s been a long week ’round here. I don’t much feel like shopping. (I know.) But nothing could cheer me up like another Prada travesty. (“Do you like my vinyl bag adorned with dead fish? I’m a fashion maven!”) Know what else makes me smile? A delicate man in a plastic box
. Really, that’s a bargain at any price, wouldn’t you agree?
Haven’t you bought a Roomba yet? Use coupon code HOHOSAVE for an additional $25 off. Makes a wonderful gift for that special lazy person in your life. (You understand that I say this with love, being Queen of the Lazy People, myself.)
I am strangely drawn to this. I’m not sure why. Maybe I’m more exhausted than I realized. (To wit: Eeeeek! Filled with pandas
!)
Soap on a roap? No! Soap in a wok! (From Canada. Obviously.)
24 Magic Erasers. I use these things all the time. Though I’d probably consider 24 of them to be more or less a lifetime supply.
Been wanting a CHI iron? Check out the Cadillac of hair straighteners. Nice price. Assuming that you still care about your hair after having been traumatized by the thought of Panda-filled candy bars, that is.
Here’s a nice gift for that special wannabe bartender in your life. Although I would much rather have this
, as I like to play with knives.
I guess I did feel like shopping, after all. Or browsing, at least. You know what I always say—go forth and shop, or at least go forth and mock.
Got change?
I’ve never used those ubiquitous Coinstar machines because they extract a fee for counting your change. But I just found out that if you elect payment via gift certificate, there’s no fee.
Hey, it beats rolling a billion pennies.
It vibrates “soothingly”
Otto doesn’t vibrate, but then again, he doesn’t require AA batteries, either.
Gotta be. . . Veggie Tales!
If you do not know the splendor that is Veggie Tales, you’re missing out on some of the most hilarious children’s entertainment out there. (It is Christian-based, but I promise it’s plenty fun.) My kids have just about outgrown the Veggies and I am sad.
However! Perhaps you have some VegHeads at home who still worship Bob and Larry. If that’s the case, might I suggest the Veggie Tales Nativity Set this holiday season? Just $12.99 with free shipping, and a full day’s allowance of vitamins and minerals. (Well, maybe not that last part. But it really is $12.99 with free shipping.)
We have an earlier version of this nativity set and the kids still play with it more than any other. Perhaps because Jesus is a baby pea in a Radio Flyer wagon. Hard to know.
His-n-Hers cruiser bikes
While I’m never going to recommend matching tourist-y Hawaiian shirts for you and your beloved, I am kind of digging these Columbia Cruiser bikes on sale at Amazon. Originally $200, marked down to $90 with an additional $10 coming off automatically at checkout, free Super Saver Shipping; that’s a nice deal on a basic, good-looking bike.
If you’re a serious biking enthusiast these are obviously not the bikes for you, but for a little something to tool around the neighborhood? Very slick.
Office Depot deals, free shipping
Ordinarily you can get free next-day shipping from Office Depot with a $50 minimum purchase, but they are running a holiday special of free shipping on every order, no minimum, through the end of the year. Yay for Office Depot!
So check out their hot deals. Many of them are “available in limited markets” which means that once you put your zip code in, you may be told they’re out of stock. That’s frustrating. But sometimes you get lucky.
(Me, I wanted those cheap binoculars for stocking stuffers, but they’re not available for me. Oh well.)
Photo deals
Thanks to Carmie for alerting me to the current deal at Winkflash for new customers: Sign up, the use coupon code WF23EA73 to get 50 free 4″ x 6″ prints with just $.99 flat rate shipping.
They’re also running a holiday card special: Place your order before December 15th, 2006, and use coupon code WZ48EG92 to take 40% off your order. That’s a great deal for those of us who only just today realized that tomorrow is, you know, December, and that maybe we should think about cards. Or something.
Stop looking at me like that.
Chicken for breakfast
Okay, the thought of poultry for the first meal of the day turns my stomach a little, but maybe you’re different. Maybe it sounds delicious to you. Maybe I am looking at you a little funny right now.
But we all know I have a soft spot in my heart for Chik-fil-A. So go ahead—have some free chicken for breakfast. (Thanks, Kelly!)
The store that makes everyone feel teeny
After years of seeing J. Jill deals online, I happened to visit somewhere with an actual brick-and-mortar J. Jill. So I went in and tried a few things on.
At which time I concluded two things:
1) A lot of people spend a lot more money on their clothes than I do,
and
2) The reason people are willing to pay that much is because their sizing is such that everyone wears a much smaller size than they really are.
But that’s how it always is, right? Everyone is a size or two smaller in expensive clothes?
Anyway, if you dig J. Jill and/or you want to feel little, here’s a coupon for you: Take $25 off your purchase of $50 or more with coupon code BBHLPN. Offer good from now through December 6th, 2006. (Check out the Sale section if the prices are giving you a coronary.)
