One year of Disney Adventures for $4.21

Today’s deal of the day at Best Deal Magazines is Disney Adventures. From the site:

Disney Adventures is for children age seven to 14 who are eager to learn. This wacky and exciting monthly magazine focuses on fun and action-packed adventure covering the world of entertainment, real-life, comics, sports, technology, and weird science.

Their price is $4.95 for a year (10 issues), but you can taken an additional 15% off with coupon code PXCJ1022 (expires October 22, 2006), bringing your total to just $4.21.

Magazines make a great gift for the child who has everything… just sayin’….

I’m not just an employee, I’m also a client!

Okay, so for those of you who don’t already know this, I work for these guys; but I totally adore them and their products. Like, giant pink puffy hearts kind of adoration. Honest and for true.

Which is why I’m so excited that right now all Teen Titans costumes are marked down to $19.99 at Ty’s Toy Box. And to make it even better, take 15% off your total costume purchase (any costume, from any line) with coupon code SPOOKY until Friday, October 20th at midnight.

You’re never going to find the absolute cheapest of the cheap at Ty’s; but they carry the licensed character lines your kids love and that you often can’t find anywhere else. Even I—confirmed tightward extraordinaire—was willing to pony up the extra cash to get the kids exactly what they wanted, last Halloween, and they still regularly dress up as Robin and Raven to vanquish evil around the house. Just you try telling me it wasn’t worth every cent.

I’ll be over here, banging my head on the desk

Um, does anyone remember when I started thinking about buying a new bed, and I maintained that king-size linens could be found just as cheaply as their smaller counterparts if only you had a bit of patience and shopping savvy? Does anyone have any idea how many different shopping trips (online and off) I partook in and how many different places I ended up buying one or two things so that I could, eventually, cobble together all the trappings for my brand new king-size bed?

Of course today, I find myself wondering where this was a month ago.

*grumble*

One-stop shopping for groin support and lightbulbs

There’s just something about the Improvements Catalog that I love. Maybe it’s that they carry this eclectic mix of items, from the sublime to the ridiculous. I love to browse through and be all “This is just ridiculous; who buys this stuff?” Usually whenever I say that, within five minutes I’ve found something I really want. Don’t judge me.

Anyway! Check out their clearance, in particular. Lots of good deals to be had. I’m considering one of these, purely because my kids would love it. Yeah, that’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

Use coupon code MP6W219 to take 20% off of any order. Expires October 25th, 2006.

Have fun, especially if you decide to turn your fridge into a beachside paradise. No comment.

Tis the season to be mindful

I stopped at my local dollar store yesterday to pick up sandwich bags (yes, that’s about the only reason I go in there, and yes, I always end up buying more than that) and just beyond the garish Halloween displays right at the front there were… there were…

I can hardly say it, it’s so awful.

There were Christmas decorations. Stop it. STOP IT. It’s not even November yet!

Is it my imagination, or is the “Christmas season” sneaking ever-further backward? By the time my kids are grown, the season will be starting right after Memorial Day.

Anyway, it reminded me that I wanted to talk a little bit about the upcoming Season O’ Frenzy. read more…

Final sale at Lane Bryant

Items 30% to 70% off in the Lane Bryant final sale. Plus, use coupon code 00202077 to take 20% off your total order (expires today) 000201506 through January 17th for 20% off (no minimum) or code 050001521 for $25 off your order of $75+.

This is love, people. I came in here and posted this while my kids are eating breakfast, so concerned was I that you might miss a deal.

Or maybe I got tired of watching them chew with their mouths open.

Another free bar

I feel the need to atone for posting this bar yesterday morning, as so many of you noted that it looked not so much wildcrafted as regurgitated.

Try this PRIA Grains one, instead. It’s also organic and frou-frou nutritious, but has the added bonus of actually looking like food.

Not unless it’s a seafood brew

Something caught my eye today, and by “caught my eye” I of course mean “horrified me beyond the capacity for rational thought.”

Mikasa has a long and rich history of elegance; how in the world did they decide these were something the refined world needed?

Oh! Wait! I just realized what they’re for! Not for coffee (no, that would be silly), but for melted butter. Now it all makes sense. Sort of.

Movies on the go

Looking for a cheap portable DVD player? Look no further than this deal at Fry’s. Shipping is $10, but that still brings your total in under $70, which is a pretty darn good deal for a portable DVD with all the accessories (including a headrest mount for the car).

Why, I bet you’d pay three times that much to keep your kids quiet in the car. Oops! I’ve said too much….

Halloween, Disney style

Up to 50% OFF and FREE Shipping at Disney Shopping’s Halloween Boootique!

That link takes you to a splash page where you can click through to costumes, but there’s also tons of Halloween decor clearanced in the outlet.

Also try coupon code FAMILYFUN20 for 20% off your total purchase (expires October 31st, 2006) if that will give you a better discount than the coupons offered to you on the site. (You may have to do math to figure out the best bargain, so eat your Wheaties first or whatever.)

Keep in mind: You can only use coupons at Disney when logged in. So log in first, before you shop. If you wait until later, when you log in, your cart will be emptied. It’s a charming little “feature” of the site.
