Take $10 off, celebrate 2/22

by Mir at 11:23 am on February 22, 2012 in Hot Hot Hot!

Apparently 2/22 is celebration-worthy date. Who knew? I’m certainly not arguing, though. Here’s what you can do—go visit Vitacost today through my link, and when you sign up you’ll get a $10 credit towards whatever you’d like to buy (code will be emailed to you). And today—2/22/12—only, you’ll get free shipping on your $22+ order, or ship orders less than that for just $2.22!

Jasmine at Dealicious Finds suggests scoring a deal on 32 ounces of organic coconut oil; with the credit and the shipping deal, you’ll pay just $6.20 delivered. (Thanks, Jasmine!)

They have all kinds of other goodies, of course, and I’m sure you can figure out something you’d like to spend your free $10 on. [Note: The site is running pretty slowly, right now, but it's worth the wait.]

Blender Nirvana

by Mir at 9:13 am on February 22, 2012 in Hot Hot Hot!, Product Talk

Regulars ’round here know that I am serious about my love of a good blender. About a year and a half ago I did my research and bought a new blender, and I’ve been very happy with my refurbished KitchenAid, true to what I’d read.

That said, there will always be a soft spot in my heart for the folks at Blendtec, mostly because Will It Blend? is hilarious and brilliant. Would I pay $400 for a blender? Not unless I win the lottery. And probably not even then. However if you have your heart set on a Blendtec, you might want to hop on over to QVC today for their featured deal—they’ve got a Blendtec bundle featured on the front page, and it includes the blender, a spoonula, and recipe book for just under $330. Still crazy expensive, but the very lowest I’ve ever seen.

And then you can blend up your iPhone. Or a smoothie. Whatever.

An even better offer

by Mir at 8:21 am on February 21, 2012 in Hot Hot Hot!

I posted this one last month when it dipped to $35, but now it’s gone even lower—today Amazon’s Gold Box Deal is The Godfather Collection on Blu-ray for just $25 shipped! That’s just… crazy.

Though not as crazy as waking up with a severed horse head in your bed. That’s a different kind of crazy. This is a good kind of crazy. Just to be clear.

You weren’t busy today, right?

by Mir at 7:31 am on February 21, 2012 in Hot Hot Hot!

Hopefully your schedule is clear; it’s a Woot-Off today at Woot, Kids.Woot, Home.Woot, and Wine.Woot.

For the uninitiated, this means a new product every 15 minutes or so, or sooner if it sells out. The prices are low and the action is fast, and while I can neither confirm nor deny my lack of productivity on Woot-Off days, let’s just say that I’m not scheduling anything super-important today.

Another one-day goody, at Soft!

by Mir at 10:46 am on February 20, 2012 in For the kids, Hot Hot Hot!, What to Wear

Oooooooh, one of my very favorite kids’ clothing stores ever is offering an incredible deal today—in honor of President’s Day, Soft Clothing is having a flash sale today only. Take 40% off your purchase with coupon code president12. 40%!! That’s 40% off almost everything, from their soft cotton flat-seamed clothing suitable for even the most picky sensory-sensitive kid in your life to their books and toys.

Heck, even if your kid doesn’t have sensory sensitivities, their stuff is just plain cute. And at 40% off, it’s a steal, too.

More makeup, free shipping

by Mir at 10:25 am on February 20, 2012 in Hot Hot Hot!

If you’ve been wanting to stock up on affordable makeup without having to pay for shipping, today’s the day to shop at ELF—you can ship any order of $13.50+ for free, today, when you apply coupon code YESPLEASE.

ELF is a great place to try out new products, as their Essentials line starts at just $1 apiece. Even the more “expensive” items are almost all under $10. With prices like these, you have nothing to lose. And that’s a relief for those of us who can’t seem to throw away that terrible mascara, even though it’s terrible, because come on, it cost $18.

Crocs in the spotlight

by Mir at 8:14 am on February 20, 2012 in For the kids, Hot Hot Hot!, What to Wear

One of the featured deals today at 6pm.com is up to 75% off Crocs, and that’s particularly good news if you have little ones, as most of the styles I was looking at for my kids are already sold out in all but toddler sizes. (Don’t worry, as the prices go up, more sizes are left.)

I have to say that I find there’s really no substitute for Crocs when we go camping, or when the kids play out in the woods. I think everything they wear should be easily hosed off after messy excursions. What?

Stock up while the getting’s good

by Mir at 11:08 am on February 19, 2012 in For the kids, Hot Hot Hot!, What to Wear

I do love a good sale at Lands’ End, it’s true. The only thing I love more is when a good sale there also qualifies for an awesome coupon.

Right now you can use coupon code SPRINGSHIP with PIN 6212 to get free shipping and 25% off on any order! What’s even better is that it works on clearance and Canvas items, too.

I’m not admitting to anything, but if I had just purchased an adorable swimsuit and a raincoat for my very picky and hard-to-fit teenager because it’s rare for the Canvas stuff (which runs smaller/thinner) to be both on sale and coupon-eligible, theoretically I would’ve gotten a great deal. Just sayin’.

I swear, my intentions were good

by Mir at 11:14 am on February 18, 2012 in Groceries, Hot Hot Hot!

So I was just at Amazon stocking up on GoGo SqueeZ applesauce pouches, because my kids love them, and I love shelf-stable all-natural fruit that costs less than $.45/serving. (Buy it via Subscribe & Save right now and you’ll get 48 pouches for $21.37 shipped.)

I didn’t intend to buy cookies. Honest! But, um, when I see what are basically organic Oreos on sale, how can I be expected to resist? Right now they have both Newman’s Own Organics Original Vanilla Creme and Mint Creme cookies available for just $12.08 shipped for 6 packages. I’m just sayin’.
