Woohoo, it’s a Woot-Off!
You know I always appreciate a Woot-Off, but today it’s even better because I’ve got a sick kid and a million things to do and so maybe you’ll get so wrapped up in the Woot-Off you won’t notice me over here dropping all of these balls I’m supposed to be juggling. Yeah. Let’s go with that.
They’re Wooting Off all day long at Woot, Home.Woot, Tools.Woot, Sport.Woot, Kids.Woot, and—our favorite source of wine-and-other-random-things—Wine.Woot. That means a new deal every 30 minutes or sooner (depending on how quickly it sells out), and some fantastic bargains tossed in the mix that you might be lucky enough to catch.
On top of that, there’s 15 new designs available over at Shirt.Woot—it’s the April Shirtstorm!—and they’re just $8 apiece.
Happy Wooting!
Need some LEGO ideas?
It’s out of stock at the moment, but you can order it and get it when it comes back in (and maybe save it for the holidays or use it as a gift closet item…?)—Amazon has the LEGO Ideas Book available for just $7.93 right now (retail is $25). This highly-rated, gorgeous hardcover book is a must-have for any LEGO nut, and this is the lowest price it’s ever been.
If I was still running a birthday party gift closet (my kids have pretty much outgrown that), I’d buy a stack of these.
Write a little every day
This one would be a fun little gift for someone, or to get you putting pen to paper more often: Amazon has this Q&A a Day: 5-Year Journal marked down to just $7.68 (its lowest price ever), and it has great reviews. Answer a question every day—nothing extensive, just a quick response—and over the years you’ll end up with a compendium of thoughts. Kind of a neat concept, no?
According to the reviews, it’s a year’s worth of questions with spaces to answer each one five times, so if you stick with it, you can see how your answers changed year to year. I like it.
Oh, baby (gear)!
If you’re gearing up for a new baby—or helping out someone else who is—there’s a few notable deals happening at Amazon right now. For example, their #1 best-selling Graco FastAction carseat/jogger combo in red is down to just $199, when the other colors are all still $270+.
On the other hand, they’re also doing a big 20% off select Graco items event, and you can pick up the same set in tangerine there for a bit less by buying the stroller and seat separately and reaping the 20% savings. And there’s other goodies there, too, like highchairs and pack-n-plays and such.
Basically, it’s a good time to shop for baby stuff. Apparently they don’t make a pack-n-play for teenagers, which is a real shame if you ask me.
It’s always a good time for coffee
Need K-cups? Check out this deal at Amazon on many flavors of the highly-rated Caza Trail K-cups—you’ll have to poke around to see what’s available, but many flavors in the 100-count size are marked at $35, which is already pretty good. But, if you’re buying directly from Amazon, there’s a 20% off coupon you can clip, plus you can buy via Subscribe & Save for additional savings. If you’re already up to 5+ items for your monthly delivery, you’re looking at potentially getting 100 cups of coffee for under $23, or around $.23/cup.
Make sure you’re signed in to be eligible for the coupon, and make sure the seller is Amazon. Not all flavors are eligible.
And then… enjoy your coffee!
Are your feet ready for summer?
Spring is in full force here in Georgia, which means everything is coated in a couple of inches of yellow pollen, and the whole family is playing the “Is it allergies, or is it a cold?” game. Fun! But no matter, because soon it will be summer, and the pollen will abate, and then we can play the “Is it really 100 degrees at breakfast?” game.
Anyway.
If you’re getting ready to bust out the sandals and have realized that either all sandals have been outgrown or you wore out your favorites, get over to 6pm.com today. In addition to their big Coach sale today (Coach isn’t my thing, but the prices are great), they’re having a giant sale on both designer and comfort sandals, which means there’s something for everyone. Two of my favorite summer footwear brands—Clarks and Born—are deeply discounted, which means very soon I’ll have some cute new shoes covered in pollen.
Okay, maybe the pollen part isn’t so great. But the shoes! Focus on the shoes.
All the horror of Scream
Hosting a sleepover? Why not traumatize the kids for life with the Scream Five-Film Set on Blu-ray from Amazon for just $7.99? That’s cheaper than renting, and allows you to continue the trauma as many times as you like, until no one is willing to send their kids over to your house anymore.
You’re welcome.
Easter treats at Old Navy
Yet another way to clean up on clothing deals—right now Old Navy is offering up to 50% off all sorts of things, and then another 20% off on top of that for most items (their “Everyday Steals” and some other items are excluded from extra coupon savings, which always annoys me, but it’s hard to complain when their t-shirts start at $4, I guess).
Shipping is free on $50+, and that’s across all of the Gap family of stores (includes Old Navy, Gap, Banana Republic, Athleta, and then of course adding anything from Piperlime gets you free shipping at any total).
Old Navy has forever won a spot in my heart because they carry boys’ 18 Slim jeans, so I’m all over every sale like this. Also if you need me I’ll be putting bricks on my son’s head.
There’s still time for Easter savings
Lots of good discounts are happening today over at Bon-Ton: save up to an extra 30% on nearly everything with coupon code MARCH30SAVE, get free shipping on just $25+ with code FREESHIP25 (or free shipping on anything with Shoprunner), and there’s plenty of markdowns and specials. (Note: remember that coupon savings can be used on items marked “Clearance” but not those marked “Yellow Dot.”)
If you’re an end-of-season clothes shopper, this is the sale to hit. Women’s clothing is starting at just a couple of bucks for tops, and then the coupon on top of that!
Do you Schoola?
Have you checked out Schoola yet? Like ThredUp, it’s a site for gently used clothing at a deep discount, and also like ThredUp, if you’re new and you go sign up through my link, right now you’ll get a $15 credit at checkout when you register (and for a limited time, shipping is free). You can also designate a local school to benefit from your shopping, which is a nice little side benefit.
If you’re already a Schoola member, you can still save—use coupon code SPRINGSPREE right now for $10 off your $10+ purchase.
The free shipping thing is rare, so definitely go check it out while the getting’s good. I know I was supposed to be shopping for my kids, but, um, two pairs of shorts for me fell into my cart somehow. (Hey, with the coupon I only paid $3.)
