As someone who believes that there is no such thing as too much butter, I’ll admit to being somewhat loathe to modify recipes to cut calories and/or fat. Because, um, that’s the part that tastes good! But I have a friend who has a subscription to Cooking Light, and after eating several of their recipes, I have to say… they’re pretty good. (They’d be better with a stick of butter, but whatever.)

Check out the various offers from Cooking Light. Most of them are sweepstakes (meh), but the very first offer right now is to join their Supper Clubs.

Sounds good to me. Now, if I could get it with some bacon? That’d be unbeatable.

Wow, just what I need. An excuse to buy more books!

Amazon is having a 4-for-3 promotion right now, and I am in very big trouble. I’d show you what all I have in my shopping cart, but I am too busy trying to decide what constitutes “too many” books, really.

Anyway. It’s books! It’s music! It’s movies! It’s all of my favorite things! And they even have one of my favorite books ever on the list.

And, um, you can never have too many books.

That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

Remember how I’ve told you that you should never pay for a magazine? Have you been heeding my advice and ferreting out the freebies?

The corollary to that advice, of course, is that you shouldn’t order magazines you’ll never read. Or that will make you feel stupid.

Which is why I won’t be signing up for this free subscription to Spin Magazine. Because let’s face it, I’m far too square to be reading about all the hot new musical artists and saying anything other than, “Back in my day, we had… James Taylor! And we liked it!”

But, um, you should feel free to sign up if you’re not as much of a dork as me.

Check out the list of hot deals at Office Depot. There’s a bunch of cheap luggage sets, among other things.

Ordering a bunch? Get your order to $50 and shipping is free (and usually next day). You can use coupon code 57209936 for $10 off of your $50 order (and you’ll still get your free shipping).

The nice thing about Office Depot is that you can always find some pens or paperclips or something to put your order up to $50 if you’re really close.

Is it wrong that I can’t say “O-Day” without giggling?

(Hi, my name is Mir, and my emotional maturity was sadly halted at the age of seventeen….)

 
Well, look; I don’t name it, I just tell you about it. It’s O-Day, and even better, O-Day lasts for a few days… ummm… which I guess would technically make it O-Days.

Anyway! From now through Thursday, September 21st (probably sometime in the middle of the day), 2006, you can take an additional 15% off your purchase at Overstock. Really! Click through the image above or click right here to activate your savings.

From now through September 24th, 2006, use coupon code T6HFDC for free shipping at The Company Store and Company Kids.

There are some nice deals in the clearance section. I’m debating whether or not my daughter needs one of these….

Sometimes I will share a goodie that I’m really not all that thrilled about. I do it because I try to accept the possibility that not everyone agrees with me about everything. (Although, that would be so wrong, don’t you think? Of course you do.)

So. In my opinion? Instant coffee is the work of the devil. And I’m not positive that I want whole bean coffee from the people who’ve been selling kitty litter labelled as coffee for a trillion years. But who knows? Maybe it’s delicious. Find out for free, if you dare, and let me know how it tastes.
