Microsoft wants to give you a free copy of Office Accounting Express. No strings attached!

That slightly shameful, dirty feeling of using MS products is included absolutely free. (Perhaps you can wash it away with the soap featured in the previous post.)

Thanks to Kris of Wonder Mom for pointing out that Reader’s Digest has an online store. Who knew? (Not me!) And there’s a huge clearance section!

Poke around a bit if you have time. I know my son (or any of his friends) would be thrilled with this Pokemon set (and the price certainly is right). I was also thinking that this tote would probably make a good teacher gift.

I love this. So unique, so beautiful to look at (and, according to the reviews and also what I’ve heard, delicious to drink), and yet functional. If you need a gift for someone who has everything—or for a tea lover—look no further. And now only is it already 53% off, it’s part of the Grocery section, so you can use code GROCERY3 to take an additional $10 off of your order when your total is $49+. Pick up a few or just get one and buy some groceries you needed anyway.

(Seriously, if you’ve never seen this before, click through the link and have a look. You get to watch a flower unfurl in your teaport. How cool is that?)

Kit contains glass teapot and 9 different varieties of flowering teas. And hours of entertainment!

Thanks to Abbey for sending this one along; I’m trying not to assume that she just called me a dummy.

(Actually, the language snob in me wants to know why my insurance company never informed me that I have special benefits for dummies….)

Are you a fan of the NBC show The Office? (If not, why not?) Perhaps you or someone you know would like to get a free phone call from Dwight Schrute.

It’s been a long week, here, and I am ready for a little retail therapy. Provided the price is right, of course. Let’s see what the Amazon Friday Sale has to offer this week, shall we?

Ooohhhh. I think that mood would be greatly improved by this cashmere sweater, don’t you? And what a nice gift that would make for someone.

if I were a different sort of person, I’d recommend these cookies. But I don’t want y’all to hate me when you end up weighing 800 pounds, so, um, they’re a great deal, but they’re like crack so you might want to just say no.

Weren’t we just talking about a nice wine opener the other day? I think we were. That one’s pretty nifty-looking.

I keep going back to look at this indoor grill. It has fabulous reviews. And doesn’t involve standing knee-deep in snow to have a great burger. So.

And last—but certainly not least—in this latest chapter of “Mir drools all over the Friday Sale,” I just want to issue a cheap camera alert.

That is all.

[Edited to add: I lied. Here’s more. This isn’t part of the Friday Sale, but if you missed the previous one and are still seeking a cheapie bed set, this one is available in Queen, King, and Cal King.]

If you’re willing to sign up for the Botox Cosmetic Benefits Program (which is presumably weekly emails about how having your face frozen is a small price to pay for fewer wrinkles), you can receive Vicki Iovine’s book, “The Girlfriends’ Guide to Staying a Hot Mama.”

Or you can just partake of my easy guide to staying hot with kids:
1) Don’t have kids in the first place.
2) Doh! Oh well!

(Hey, at least I didn’t make you listen to ads for Botox….)

I’ve avoided posting this because Coldwater Creek makes me batty with how every time I find something in Clearance that I want, when I go to add it to my cart, it turns out that it’s out of stock. But maybe I’m just lucky that way. And then a million of you sent me the coupon code, and I started thinking that maybe it’s just me, and it ends tonight, so here you go:

Save 50% off your order (no minimum) with coupon code AUTUMN. Works in the outlet, too, if you can find something that’s actually in stock.
