Their commercials don’t have men dressed as fruit
From now through Thursday, July 27th, get free shipping on every order at Hanes Online. Just use coupon code TUESDAY.
It’s a great way to stock up on back-to-school undies and socks, and they have a variety of comfy cottony goodness for us grown-ups, too.
(The fact that their commercials feature the likes of Kevin Bacon and Michael Jordan rather than scary produce is just icing on the cake, y’know?)
Free foundation
Okay; it’s a little confusing. First it says a free sample, then it says a coupon for a free full-size product. So really, I can’t tell you what it is, other than that I’m pretty sure it will have something to do with foundation. I think.
(Thanks, Redsmom!)
Leaving, on a jet plane
As some of you already know, I’m leaving on a cross-country trip tomorrow. I did my diligent shopping around for the cheapest plane ticket. I’ll be packing in my clearance suitcase. I’ve got my hot new laptop case. And I suckered a friend into playing airport taxi so that I don’t even have to pay for parking.
(I’m still a little amazed that my friends even talk to me. I’m kind of a pain in the butt, sometimes. Like, when I need to be at the airport at 7:30 in the morning.)
Yep, I’m almost ready to pack and be on my way. And then I thought to myself, (“Self,” I said) perhaps there are some lessons to share here. I concluded that mostly I have nothing really enlightening to impart, but we already know that that’s never stopped me before…. read more…
Cute stuff, deep discounts
Have you ever shopped Spilsbury? Check out the sale section for all manner of interesting and wacky items. You may have to hunt a bit for a good deal, but there are a few buried in there. (Search for item #15542… wooden poker chips in a caddy for just $7.77!)
Here’s some codes, but I haven’t tested any of them, so proceed at your own risk. And, you know, don’t yell at me if they don’t work.
40509 – $5 off a $25 order
40578 – $5 off $25
11018 – $10 off a $50 order
40507 – $10 off a $50 order
40508 – $10 off a $75 order
I’m thinking of getting the prank tongue ring. Cuz I’m just cool like that.
Camping and hiking and more, oh my!
One of my very favorite sites is having an awesome sale!
Sierra Trading Post is offering $.20 shipping on every order from now through Friday, July 28th, in honor of their 20th anniversary. They also have tons of further markdowns throughout the site.
While Sierra Trading Post is undeniably a fabulous resource for the “outdoorsy” types—you can get your hiking boots, a new tent, some wicking exercise wear—they also carry other overstocks tucked in amongst their regular fare. So don’t overlook them if you’re not a treehugger; they may have something you need at a fabulous price.
Thanks, Jes! You’re pretty!
Stay cool, stay frugal
Kim asked a great question which I’m sure a lot of us have wondered about but been too lazy to really investigate. (That includes me. I made Otto look it up.)
Hi pretty girl,
In the midst of all of this insane heat, we have had quite a discussion here at the water cooler. Is it really cheaper to turn your A/C down during the day and have a programmable thermostat bring it back to temperature for your return? Please end this obnoxious debate. Thanks!
As someone who doesn’t have central AC, I guess I’d not thought about this too much. I have window units which I use as little as possible, and so if I’m not home, they’re off. But if you have central AC, what’s going to be the best bang for your buck? read more…
Free shipping on school uniforms
Many thanks to the ever-lovely Sheryl for pointing out that Target currently has free shipping on “select” school uniform pieces through August 5th. (What makes a piece select? Beats me.)
Check it out and maybe you’ll find some things the kids need for back to school. (Back to school… are there any three words in the English language more lovely? I think not.)
Plants for less
Gearing up for your Fall planting? Use coupon code NA5008S to take $25 off of your purchase of $25 or more at Dutch Bulbs. Shipping starts at $6.95.
I have a black thumb, but I’m guessing not everyone has been blessed with this gift. Perhaps you’ll find some nice bulbs to pick up and, um, not kill.
Free razor for the guys
(Or, you know, another free razor for us, because I don’t know about you, but despite America’s best marketing efforts, I continue to be perfectly capable of shaving my legs with a razor that doesn’t have a pink handle….)
Available to U.S. residents only. Enjoy!
Whoops, almost forgot

I almost forgot to go grab this weekend’s Overstock coupon. If you’ve been waiting anxiously for it… ummm… I’m sorry… and here it is. $20 off of your purchase of $150 or more, good through Monday at 2 in the afternoon because Overstock is nutty like that.
Don’t forget that Overstock is a great option for furniture, both because their prices are good and because shipping is always just $2.95.
