36 organic, wildcrafted and natural food products in every bar!

I’m not sure I know what “wildcrafted” means, and I’m also I try not to have more than, say, 20 different organics in a single bar, usually. But for free, I’ll try it out.

… I’ve got another one for you.

[And I really do try to balance out the “Oh! A sale! Go look!” links with other things, so that we don’t end up with a great big blog of ways to spend every last cent. That’s not the point of this place. But as we swoop down in on the holiday shopping seasons, the sales will be many and you’ll see more links here to places to shop rather than, say, my delightful suggestions on how to make all of your Christmas gifts out of macaroni and construction paper. Mostly because I don’t believe in gifts made of pasta. But you get the point. I’m not suggesting that you go spend money at every single one of these places. Merely pointing out—in a season when you’re more likely to be spending—how to make the most of your purchases.]

Anyway. Moving on!

Check out the Big Sale at Lillian Vernon. They’ve even got a smattering of clearanced Halloween items in there, already.

Sweeten the deal: Get your cart up to $50+ and use coupon code 096840100 to receive free shipping on your entire order.

Enjoy!

Reflexive Arcade is celebrating 9 years by giving you a free copy of Ricochet Xtreme. You can read more about the game here. It’s a $19.99 value, yours free for a limited time.

In the interest of research (ahem) I got my free copy and played it for a while. It’s like a super-galactic version of Breakout. Loads of fun for the entire family, right up until you start having seizures from all the movement and blinking lights. Woo!

Thanks, Elizabeth! You’re pretty!

Need some wine? Nobody wants cheap wine, you know. What you want is good wine, cheap.

Check out BevMo’s buy one bottle, get the second for 5¢ sale.

Seriously, how can you say no to a fun-sounding site like BevMo? You can’t.

(Thanks for the tip, Allie!)

Take 35% off your purchase of a My Twinn Friend doll, today only.

These are beautiful, high-quality dolls with good articulation (means you can pose them in all sorts of life-like ways). But I think getting one that’s a clone of your kid is sort of creepy. I did, one year, score a bargain on one for my daughter. It’s one of the “Friends,” though, not one that looks like her. She, of course, wants a custom-made clone.

Bottom line: Nice dolls, creepy marketing. To me, anyway. Enjoy.

I have to say, I look forward to Fridays probably a bit more than I ought to. It’s not even that I always buy something, it’s more just the thrill of the hunt. (What this says about the state of my mental health, we won’t be getting into….)

So! The Amazon Friday Sale is upon us once again. Let’s see if there are any goodies to be had.

How about a reconditioned Dyson for $324.99 after coupon? Or 1,000 thread count sheets (though you’d have to buy more than just a set of sheets to use the coupon)?

This looks to be a really nice deal on a men’s jacket, and I’m bummed they don’t have the comparable women’s version, because I really need a new winter jacket. Hmph.

This comb set is making my eyes hurt, a little, but it could be a handy filler item if you’re trying to get an order up to $25 for free shipping.

Got paper towels? Granted, this isn’t a fabulous price (don’t get me wrong; it’s a fine price, just not a huge deal), but having it delivered to your door rather than wrestling it onto the bottom of the shopping cart? Priceless.

My fantasy kitchen will have this set. Also: granite countertops, a Viking gas range, and Alton Brown. What?

Holy crow, they just keep marking this GPS unit down, and my fingers are getting itchy. Itchy, I tell you! What a lovely gift that would make for the directionally- challenged. Just, you know, duck while it’s being opened. Just in case.

Oh! And—this just in—Overstock finally brought back the decent weekend coupons! Get 12% off your entire order and shipping for just $1 all weekend long. Very nice.

Happy Friday, everyone, and happy shopping!

This one does require you to leave the house, I’m just tellin’ you now.

Target has Oral B toothpaste and brushes on sale this week. Isn’t that nice? What, you’re not excited?

Here, let me make it better. (Yes, there’s three identical coupons. No, you cannot use more than one per trip. Got kids old enough to go through the check-out line? Awesome! If not, well, you have to decide whether another trip is worth it for another freebie.)

Print your coupons. Go get your free stuff. You may even make a quarter or two; my Target has the toothpaste for $1.75.

You’re welcome.

It wouldn’t be the impending holiday season without a frenzy over the latest Elmo toy. How on earth did anyone ever know it was time to start Christmas shopping, before Elmo started giggling? The mind boggles. Anyway!

Apparently folks are all in a dither over this TMX Elmo. He’s going for big bucks on eBay, and lots of stores are sold out. This is causing parents everywhere to rend their garments and gnash their teeth and wail. I hear some kids are pretty bummed, too.

Want a chance to win a TMX Elmo? Check it out:

Shop at All Aboard Toys from now through Friday, November 10th, and every order gets you an entry into their daily TMX Elmo drawing. [Edited to add: Looks like you can also just enter here without making a purchase.]

You can also use coupon code nmr15tmx1006 for an additional 15% off your purchase. And everything is on sale (to some degree) already, through midnight tonight.

Go forth and shop, but don’t blame me if you end up with a knee-slapping Elmo in your house. I tried to warn you.
