For your pampered purse pooch
Oh. My.
Do you think maybe Paris Hilton shops at Wilson’s Leather?
How about this little number for carrying Fifi around? (Note that coordinating jacket and booties are available.)
Prefer something a little less… pink? Maybe Fifi is tired after a long day, and is a cowgirl at heart. (Oh, all of these items are on clearance! I cannot understand why!)
Please don’t tell me if you insist on buying any of these items. I won’t be able to control the laughter. But if you must, use coupon code 6132 for an additional 20% off.
Pretty feet and hands? Yes, please!
Go here to get a free sample of Pretty Feed & Hands rough skin remover. Use offer code QAS. While supplies last.
Of course, unless it comes in a mayonnaise-sized jar, I doubt it’ll take care of all of my callouses, but we’ll see….
Doodlebops contest winners and more!
Hey, did y’all remember that we were having a contest? I challenged you to show me your love for the Doodlebops for a chance to win fabulous prizes, and some of you actually did. I’ll tell you about the winners in just a second. (This is the blog equivalent of the “And the winner is… going to be announced after the next commercial!”)
As an Extra! Special! Bonus! in honor of Want Not’s first ever official contest, I have a little something for all of my readers! Ty’s Toy Box—your online source for Doodlebops merchandise, yes, but also purveyor of many of the hottest licensed character lines around—has graciously agreed to grant a special promo to the Want Not crowd. Not a Doodlebops fan? No problem. They also carry an extensive selection of Teen Titans, Strawberry Shortcake
, Ben 10
… oh, listen, they carry a lot of awesome lines; I promise they have something your kids love.
Anyway, go visit Ty’s and use code WantNot from now through Friday, August 11th, to take 10% off your total order. Just because. Open to all Want Not readers, because you’re pretty. Thanks, Ty’s!
On to the prize winners! read more…
Free Sony shipping through Thursday
Had your eye on something over at Sony? Get it shipped for free from now through this Thursday, August 10th. (See offer for details; continental U.S., standard shipping, etc.)
Lots of DVDs on sale. Some nice deals on electronics in the Outlet. Check out the prices on refurbished photo printers, for example. (I’m such an enabler.) Um, only check it out if you need one. And can really afford one. And want free shipping! Hurry! (Oops.)
Good deal on a clipper set
Do you know how to cut hair? If you don’t, why not? It’s not particularly hard, and if you have a family you could be saving hundreds of dollars a year by being the resident barber.
If you have any men or boys in the fold, you’re going to want a reliable set of clippers. This clipper set by Conair not only has everything you could possibly need to begin your career as a stylist, it’s also cordless! That’s good news for anyone with squirmy little ones. (We won’t talk about the time I nearly strangled my son with the clipper cord….) At $10.93 with $.98 shipping, it’s a great deal. For less than the cost of a single kiddie haircut, you can say goodbye to Supercuts forever.
When you think about it that way? It goes all the way beyond bargain straight to blessing.
Spreading the Apple gospel, one student at a time
Hey students! What’s better than a brand new Mac? How about a brand new Mac and a free iPod? Apple Store specials are few and far between, but this is a pretty nice little deal. Offer good through September 16th, 2006.
It almost makes me wish I was a student again. Minus the horrible nightmares about arriving in class naked for an unexpected final exam, of course. (What, you didn’t have those? Me neither.)
Don’t be sad in the sack
Today’s question is almost funny enough to make me forget that I feel like I’ve been run over by a truck. In fact, the questioner followed up with a “will you be answering this soon??” last week, so despite the fact that I’m on my deathbed (oh, okay; it’s just my regular bed, but I am sick) I’m going to get this answered, because nothing is sadder than newlyweds without a bed.
In September I am getting married. Now I’m sure you’re aware of the importance of some of the things you buy when you’re getting married. With all your beauty and sensualness I am hoping you would be willing to show some sex goddess knowlede and share some advice on how to save on the most important purchase for newlyweds—otherwise known as the Queen Size Bed or baby factory as we like to call it here in California.
My current baby factory has that grand canyon look to the center proving that when I bought it two years ago I had no clue what I was doing. His bed, although cute is smaller than my right thigh so it’s right out. We have the pleasure of being a couple with two different body shapes. He is tall and narrow and I am short and valumptuous.
We live in a small town (by small town I mean that sometimes in the morning I have to scare other people’s chickens out of my front yard with a hose and it’s not uncommon to find a bunny or goat from the neighborhood in my back yard eating apricots that have fallen off my tree). Our town only has one furniture store and the bed selection resulted in my ownership of the grand canyon. The nearest town has several stores where nothing ever goes on sale because they know you have no other choice. This means I’m looking for a place to buy a bed online.
Sincerely,
~Not in the Sack Newlyweds
Ahhhh. What could be more beautiful? Young love, bed shopping, chickens…? Hrm…. read more…
Because sometimes you need to. . . chuck a chicken
It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s a… chicken chucker!
Flying chickens in a barnyard! The Chicken Chucker is a 5-3/4″ plastic shooting device that propels poultry. Just load one of the five 1-1/2″ plastic chickens into the compartment then pull the trigger for fowl flinging fun.
On sale for $7.99 with free shipping. The next time you find yourself asking “What do I get that person that has everything?” think chicken chucker.
Free acidophilus
Get your own free sample of Acidophilus Pearls, handy to have on hand whenever you have to take antibiotics. (You know why, right? To prevent a secondary infection that rhymes with… beast.) Or to take (or give to your kids) after a tummy bug.
What’s better than probiotics? Free probiotics!
Friday, Friday, Friday!
Right now I’m somewhere near Boston, walking aaaaaaaaall day in the heat, and not thinking about shopping one whit.
Clearly you will have to do some shopping in my stead. Purely out of altruism. Thank you for your kindness.
Let’s see what Overstock has happening this weekend. Here we go: $1 shipping sitewide, and 5% off all weekend (well, until 2 PM EST on Monday, 8/7, because Overstock is always just wacky that way). And I have to say, my newsletter arrived telling me how this is their most! popular! promo! ever! but, dude, shipping is normally only $2.95, so what’s the big deal, exactly? But an additional 5% off is cool. And I dunno about you, but I can always find something I want at Overstock.
And if you can’t find anything there, surely there will be something to tickle your fancy at the Friday Sale at Amazon. Unfortunately I’m not here to tell you what I think the greatest deal is this week—it could be a tent, it could be a giant box of granola bars—but it’s up to you to ferret out the deals today. I only hope I’ve taught you well, young grasshoppers.
