When he needs to look snazzy

Here’s a couple of coupons for Paul Fredrick Menstyle
in case you don’t feel like fighting the world on Black Friday just to get your fella a few nice shirts and maybe a new tie:
Use coupon code N6FSLS to receive free shipping on your $75+ order (expires December 1st, 2006), or use coupon code PBH1DD to get the 4th shirt free when you buy 3, plus $10 off all ties, er, neckwear (expires December 4th, 2006).
You can’t use the coupons together, but they both work on clearance items, so with a bit of poking around you could land yourself quite the deal.
Purina just keeps giving it away
This is the third time for one of these, I think, but it’s a new promo. Either Purina is working on some brilliant marketing strategy or their pet food is so bad, they have to give it away. I don’t know; frankly, it’s free, so I don’t much care.
Don’t have a pet? Sign up and donate it to your local shelter.
Get in on this one quick
Take $30 off of your $30+ order at HomeDecorators.com with coupon code 1558655. Does not work in the outlet.
I suspect this one will be pulled rather quickly, so if you want in, go.
I’m in the mood for knives
Well, I’m in the mood to answer a question about knives, anyway.

Hi Mir
Do you have any advice on kitchen knives? I desperately need a new set, mine are dangerously dull. I’m hoping to not overpay for a set that will work for years. I don’t even know what a good brand is, so I can’t spot a deal. Do you have any ideas for me?
As is so often the case, there’s a number of things to consider before you start looking at brands and trying to scope out a deal. The best deal depends on your needs and wants. read more…
Everyone loves Cranium
Target has Cranium Pop 5 on sale for $15 with free shipping. Use coupon code 26HDTY63 for an additional $5 off, and you’ve got a $30 game shipped to your door for $10.
This is a great offering for any party where you do a Yankee Swap or Gift Lottery sort of thing, as well as for people you just plain don’t know what to get.
Sit. Stay. Roll over. Eat ammo.
C’mon, boy, just let me shoot this gun at you a few more times!
What, it wasn’t entertaining enough to put peanut butter on the roof of Fido’s mouth?
Overheard last night
Child: Whatcha doing?
Me: Looking at shoes that are on sale. [Buy one, get one half off, plus free shipping.]
Child: Are you going to buy any?
Me: Probably not.
Child: Then why are you looking?
Me: I find it relaxing. It calms me down when I’m upset about other stuff.
Child: Why?
Me: I dunno. I guess because I really like shoes. And it’s fun to look, even if I’m not buying.
Later:
Child, to her brother: You’d better stop it, or Mama’s gonna have to go look at some more shoes on the computer.
Lazy or brilliant? You decide!
I dunno, I confess I’m leaning towards lazy. But it would certainly be an interesting gift for someone who has everything, because now I’ve seen it all.
(Seriously. How hard is it to mash potatoes??)
Christmas tree peace of mind
I don’t do real trees (pine allergies), but if you do, check it out:
No-Burn Christmas Tree Fire Guard. Regularly $19.50, now just $.90 with free shipping.
Does it work? I have no idea. But if I was going to have a real tree, for $.90 I’d probably try it. Seems like a reasonable investment in not burning the house down.
Deal of the day: creepy yet endearing film
Overstock’s Deal of the Day today is the widescreen Polar Express DVD.
I was torn, when I took the kids to see it, because on the one hand, there’s a lot about it that’s really cool. On the other hand, Tom Hanks creeped me out. And that’s just wrong.
