SmartBargains now has jewelry
That’s right; it’s one-stop shopping for both your bed linens and your diamonds! Hooray!
Hmmmm. I guess that would make it two-stop, then. Buy your jewelry today and use the $20 off to buy your sheets, next time. Whatever.
It’s a Woot-Off
Today at Woot! they’re having a Woot-Off, which means that instead of a single product being featured, they’ll be cycling through a number of choices until midnight. In addition to often having amazing deals, the people who write for Woot! are my idols. Each product description is funnier than the last.
Even if you don’t want to buy anything, Woot-Offs are great for a few chuckles throughout the day.
And in case you didn’t know, Woot!s partner wine site is garnering a lot of praise for having the same feel and quirky deals as the main site, but just for wine!
Extra savings at J. Crew
Through Friday, enjoy additional savings at J. Crew.
How cute is this?? And just $11.99 when you put it in your cart. I bet any little girl would love that, and her mom would probably be thrilled you didn’t buy her another toy like everyone else at the birthday party….
(This tip brought to you by J. Crew’s prettiest unpaid spokesblogger, Susan.)
Save $10 at Lowe’s
Lowe’s has a new printable coupon good for $10 off of $50, works in-store only.
Coupon valid through October 30th, 2006. I don’t know about you, but I never get out of Lowe’s or Home Despot for less than $50, anyway, so why not save a few bucks while you’re there buying mole bait or whatever (not that anyone I know is buying mole bait).
Fido wants fresh breath, too
Who better than the keeper of the ninja poodles to alert me to this great freebie:
Get a free sample of Greenies for your dog.
From the site:
We could go on about the science behind the new Greenies® dental chews forever – after all, it is our favorite topic. But we’d rather let you, or rather your dog, try it first-hand. Once your dog starts chewing, he or she will be sure to love every little teeth-cleaning, plaque-reducing bit� and you’ll love your pups fresher, more kissable breath!
Belinda reports that your sample also arrives with a $3 off coupon. And that’s great news, because you’ll want to keep that “kissable breath” thing going. Unless the phrase “kissable breath” in relation to dogs is squicking you out as much as it is me….
When to do it (no, not that)
I received a really interesting question from Sheryl a week or two ago. I’ve been thinking about it ever since, hoping to come up with a pithy, amusing answer. But it’s a complicated question, so I think it’s going to be sort of a complicated answer.
Hi Mir!
I have a question for you. I find myself facing a lot of things that need to be replaced, or fixed. My glasses are scratched beyond belief, My car door is broken, our carpet needs cleaning, etc., just a bunch of things that are about $200 bucks a pop, give or take. Needless to say, my purse isn’t filled with Benjamin Franklins, so how do you prioritize things like this? Obviously things that may cost more later need to be taken care of first, but all these things are neccesary, but put-offable, which is why they’re still not taken care of! Then there are some larger ticket items, like a good chunk of our shower tile came off this summer, and we haven’t been able to save up enough to re-do the shower (my husband is not handy, so we’ll have to hire someone), so we haven’t used that bathroom in months. So, any hints about how to prioritize, or shall we just sell one of our children?
I may not know the exact right method for you, Sheryl, but I can tell you that human barter is not the answer. Believe me; I’ve tried. read more…
How about a movie?
Right now at Family Video you can use coupon code NEWMEM96 for $5 off your order of $5+. Shipping is always just $.99, no matter the size of your order.
The only problem will be deciding whether to pick up something for yourself or for the kids.
You know how I am about shoes
Me, miss a shoe deal? Never!
So, Amazon has been running a deal for a while where you automatically get $20 off of your $80+ purchase of shoes offered directly through Amazon. You also get free Super Saver Shipping… so that’s a pretty good deal.
But now it’s even better. You can still take $20 off your $80+ shoe purchase, automatically
$80 worth of shoes for $50, with free shipping. And most of the offerings are on sale, already. And, um, they’re shoes. So. Pardon me while I go do a giddy little dance.
A handful of freebies
Let’s see… would you like some yogurt coupons with your free shampoo? How about some tampons with your anti-wrinkle cream?
What?
Oh, just go pick the ones you want. And stop looking at me like that.
Jump-starting, towing, bail, and discounts
Are you a member of AAA? Did you know that in addition to the peace of mind that comes with roadside assistance, your membership entitles you to discounts on hotels? Of course you did.
But did you know that it also entitles you to 5% off on gift card purchases? (Enter your zip code to see available options for your area.)
Sure, 5% isn’t a whole lot. But if you’re buying gift cards anyway (for teachers, for hard-to-buy-for relatives, or just because it makes stopping for lunch a little easier), why not save money if you can?
