Restaurant.com time again
Hey, we went over a month without a restaurant.com deal! I’m sorry; I hope you weren’t too hungry.
Right now take 50% off your order at restaurant.com with coupon code 82626. Code good through October 8th, 2006.
If you haven’t done one of these deals before, check it out. If there’s a restaurant in your area that you like, you can probably get a $25 certificate for $5 and then go have a nice meal on the cheap. (Think of me. And order dessert.)
Try Puraderm, risk-free (for eczema sufferers)
Winter is coming, and if your family is like mine? Eczema is coming with it.
All summer long my babies sweat and all day and bathe at night and have gorgeous skin. As soon as the weather turns cold, my children turn into little sandpaper people. Don’t even get me started on the winter I coated my daughter in Crisco every night. (Yes, really. Her pediatrician told me to!)
I don’t know if using Puraderm products will help, but for $3, I’ll sure as heck find out.
Pay just $3 and receive 4 Ounces of Puraderm Laundry (Four Wash Loads), 4 Ounces of Puraderm Hair and Body Shampoo, and 1 Travel jar of Puraderm Skin Sealing Wax. If you’re not satisfied? Puraderm will refund your money, no questions asked.
But I have a question. What is Skin Sealing Wax? It sounds an awful lot like… Crisco. Kinda looks like it, too. No matter. We’ll try it out.
Thanks for the tip, Melissa!
Luggage and purse deals at eBags
eBags is having a great big sale and items are supposedly marked down “as much as 70%,” but I’m seeing things discounted even further than that.
Want an even better deal? Through October 8th, 2006, you can use coupon code EMPINK06 for an additional $10 off your order of $35 or more.
Check out this very mod expandable wheeled carry-on—it’s just $29.99 after the coupon and ships for free!
“Customer Appreciation” means “free shipping”
Free photo frame
Free 5″ x 7″ magnetic photo frame from braces.org.
Personally, given what most of us are forking over to our orthodontists? I think this should come with a Cadillac, as well. But I’ll settle for the frame.
For now.
Maximizing your thrift store thriftiness
A lot of folks go shopping at Goodwill or Salvation Army for hidden treasures which can be unearthed and sold on eBay for big bucks. If this is your sort of thing, good for you. Enjoy. I find that for the average person, that’s generally a bigger hassle than it’s worth; you won’t often find many (or any) items that will turn an appreciable profit once you factor in the time to scavenge, take pictures, write up your auctions, and deal with buyer questions. Again—there are people who do it and do it happily.
But for a busy mom, say, who’s trying to save time as much as money, buying beyond what you or your kids will use is a waste. Right?
Not necessarily. read more…
Tasty treats for your pup
Have you heard of Petzels? They’re “the world’s only pretzel for dogs.” (What a claim to fame. I shall now begin billing myself as “the world’s only mother to these particular children.”)
You can get a free sample of Petzels and let Fido have an exciting treat. You absolute must check out the Testimonials page, too:
I tried the samples of the Petzels that Mom got in the mail the other day, I felt like such a doofus because I could not control my drooling when I smelled them. The taste was even better! I love Petzels!!!
– Bair
I think that instead of “the world’s only pretzel for dogs” they should change their motto to “make your dog a doofus.” But there’s probably a reason I’m not in charge of their marketing.
Thanks, Stephanie!
Save big at Kohls
I’m not normally an advocate of store-brand credit cards. Why clutter up your credit with yet another account? But I make an exception for Kohls, because they offer tons of discounts to cardholders which are unavailable to everyone else.
Darn you, Kohls, and your alluring sales!
Right now, get $5 flat rate shipping on your entire online order at Kohl’s, plus there are huge sales going on, plus you can take another 30% off your order with coupon code GRAND30 (if paying via Kohls charge card). Coupon expires Monday, October 9th, 2006.
(Be aware that—particularly if you’re shopping the clearance—things have a tendency to fly out of your cart at Kohls. Shop quickly if there’s stuff you want.)
For tea lovers
Do you rely on your morning cup of tea the way that I do?
Check it out: Amazon is currently offering a great deal on Twinings tea
Not bad if it’s something you’d be buying anyway.
(Now if only I could get them to throw in a few toasted everything bagels to go with my tea….)
Stock up on sheets on the cheap
This isn’t the deal for those of you who want your sheets to have a bazillion threads per square inch, but it’s a dandy deal for the rest of us.
Right now the Grand Patrician 300 TC sheet sets are marked down and on special at Linens ‘n Things—buy one set, get one set free.
So, originally a king set was $139.99 (um, suuuuuuure it was; that was the special price for rich people on crack, methinks), and now you can pick up two king sets for just $49.99.
But wait! There’s more!
Use coupon code 103400000001 for 25% off of your entire order. Now you’re getting each king set for under $19!
Have a local Linens ‘n Things near you? Ship your order to the store to save on shipping. (Although, their shipping rates tend to be reasonable, if you’d rather have it show up on your doorstep.)
There are plenty of other deals in the clearance section; I just thought that was the best bang for the buck. Let me know if you find something else wonderful.
