Okay, iPod unbelievers
Some of you enjoyed giving me some flak for insisting that iPods are the only way to go. That’s fine. I stand by my opinion but am happy to acknowledge that it’s just that—an opinion.
Want to take your chances with another brand? Be my guest.
Check out today’s Deal of the Day at Overstock. (That link will not only take you to the item, it’s got the current 10% off promotion embedded in it. Twofer!) It’s a 2-pack of video MP3 players by some brand I’ve never heard of. And they’ve only got 256 meg of storage. But the price is right, and if you’ve got 2 kids who’ve been begging… this may be the right deal for you.
(But if they break? I get to say “I told you so.”)
Ready to buy ornaments?
Today’s Daily Deal at Disney is three pages of discounted ornaments. My only problem is figuring out which ones to get. I love the little snowglobe ones.
Sweeten the deal (remember to log in before shopping, if you plan to use a coupon):

SHIP75 — free shipping on $75+
Warranty, shmarranty
Stephanie was kind enough to point me to this fabulous piece at Lifehacker. Go read it. Now.
The bottom line: Out of warranty? Many companies will help you out, anyway, just in the name of excellent customer service.
I’d find it hard to believe if I hadn’t read the writer’s results. Simply awesome.
Savings at Dover Publications
Several readers alerted me to this sale at Dover wherein you can take 25% off your total order of $35+ with coupon code HA32. I don’t find their prices all that stunning to begin with, but it’s possible they carry some things you can’t get elsewhere. They have a really nice array of paper dolls, for example, and although Amazon carries the few books I checked, the price is the same.
Coupon expires November 16th, 2006. Free shipping is automatic on orders over $50. Happy shopping!
Insert witty title about shoes here
Smartbargains is having a designer shoe blowout. All Women’s Designer Shoes are just $49.99! I’ve already spotted about 4 pairs I’m not sure I can live without. (No, I won’t buy them all. Maybe I won’t buy any of them. But a girl’s gotta dream.) If you shop and get your order up over $75 (hey, that’s only two pairs! piece of cake!), you can click right here to activate your free shipping coupon before you check out.
Cleaner air at a reasonable cost
Anne sent along this question:
Dear pretty, smart Mir,
Now that we’ve taken the air conditioner out of our bedroom window, I find that my allergies are making a good night’s sleep impossible. I’ve thought about putting it back in but my husband refuses to sleep in a room that cold all winter. I would like to purchase some type of air purifier/filter rather than get rid of the dogs, cats, dust mites and husband. I know nothing about this other than I do not want one of those ionizer thingies that make the air smell funky. I’ve heard that some these machines don’t really work – or maybe all of them? Can you help poor stuffy me?
Anne beat me to the obvious joke, with saying right up front that she won’t get rid of the pets, mites, and husband. Sheesh.
I headed out to do some research on this, and I found some interesting results. read more…
Awesome bakeware deal
$26.99, ships for free with Super Saver Shipping. It claims the original price was $159.99; I’m not sure I believe that, but I still doubt you could get just one of those pieces for $26.99, normally.
This is a great set for anyone who likes to cook, and would make a great wedding gift.
Or a great housewarming gift.
Or a great I had no idea what to buy you but gosh this was a sweet bargain gift.
(Use your imaginations, people. I just find the deals. I can’t possibly do all the work for you.)
Deck the halls with Restaurant.com
Yes, it’s that time again: Take 50% off your total order at Restaurant.com with coupon code 94628. People are getting $25 certificates for just $5 (or less—varies by location). Stock up and eat well!
For your little sous chef
I find that Emeril walks that very fine line between entertainment and annoyance, but I cannot argue with his philosophy on pork fat. (Mmmmm… pork fat.) So I guess I’d be pleased to have a kitchen helper sporting one of these.
Big savings for your big man
Take $15 off your $15+ order at KingSizeDirect with coupon code 1151-02967-368. Code expires November 15th, 2006. Shipping starts at $6.
[Edited to add: It looks like 20% is automatically being deducted from clearance items when you put them in your cart, too.]
I love how the featured item right on the splash page is a gigantic flannel thing, like all large men are lumberjacks. Hee.
