Saturday deals
Hey, I never did the Hallmark contest winners. That’s coming next (I didn’t forget! I just saw something shiny!), pinky swear. Today I’ll be digging out my house in preparation for company and the holiday, but you could certainly get a little shopping done while I’m doing ...

Get your Friday on
This is it—the last Amazon Friday Sale before we hit Black Friday and then the whole season of holiday shopping madness. Are there treasures to be had? Let’s find out! The Home Improvement section has a bunch of Hunter ceiling fans, today, if you’re in the market for one. ...

Another option for rocking out
If yesterday’s deal on the Beatles Rock Band bundle didn’t do it for you—maybe you don’t need the entire band, or maybe (horrors!) you’re not a fan of the Beatles—you may want to check this one out: Right now you can buy Guitar Hero 5 from Buy.com for $70 ...

Vampires and toys
Apparently this whole Twilight thing isn’t going away. (I’d really sort of hoped it was. Vampires. Teenagers. Aren’t they all angsty enough without these sorts of stories…?) And to make your holiday season both merry and, um, vampire-y, Toys R Us is holding a New Moon ...

We’ll always have shoes
I apologize for all of the 6pm.com deals this week. Wait; no I don’t. I’m kind of having a week, and pretty shoes make me feel better. Hopefully they’re bettering your week, too. Today there’s Gabriella Rochas for $7, Rockports for $15, and Deer Stags for the whole family ...

Alert the media
Wow, in a stunning move—and for perhaps the first time since they implemented the section—I think I can declare all of today’s Target Daily Deals to be pretty awesome. They’ve got a fancy electronic chess set, a bocce set, a fire pit, a simulated sun lamp, and even some ...

It’s festive! It’s bacon!
One year my husband bought me bacon salt for my birthday. Because he’s romantic. And I loved the bacon salt so, although it turns out that it’s not gluten-free, which is sad. (But it is vegetarian; go figure.) Naturally, I still think there’s no better stocking-stuffer than ...

Reminder: Hallmark gift card contest
Whoops, nearly forgot this, too—you have until just before midnight tonight to enter the contest to win one of two Hallmark gift cards. And if you win, when you need “just one more card” or a quick little gift, you’ll be covered. As always, please enter on the contest ...

How did I almost miss this?
I guess I wasn’t paying attention; but right now every order ships for free at Maidenform. That’s the good news! The bad news is that it’s only today. Whoops. But if you are shopping today, make it even better—use coupon code 409BBQ to take 20% off your order, too. That ...

Ignore the mannequins
I need to go on record as stating that the recent spate of creepy talking mannequins in the commercials for Old Navy really irritate me. There, I said it. Their affordable clothes my kids like, however, do not annoy me at all. What a conundrum. Through November 24th, use coupon code ONSAVE15 to ...

Last day, sort of
We all know Kohls is synonymous with “sale,” but they do cycle through various promotions. Today is the last day for the current batch—the last day for free shipping on your $75+ order, the last day for Kohls card holders to use coupon code KCNOV15 for 15% off and code FREE4MVC ...

Here Comes the Sun
We’ve had a Wii for a little over a year now, and I’ve been able to resist purchasing Rock Band for various reasons. The kids are not quite old enough. It’ll take up a lot of space. I’m too dorky to know most of the songs, anyway. But now Amazon has The Beatles: Rock Band ...

Doodle me this
I’m always kind of sad when my kids outgrow coloring books. With both kids, though, they sort of get “too old” for a little while, and then the doodling begins. My son is worse than my daughter—you simply don’t leave a pencil out unless you’re prepared to find ...

Let Santa know
If you celebrate Christmas, and if you do stockings, chances are there are certain things that Santa always brings. Right? Right. In our house, Santa is a big fan of socks. Santa is concerned about toe warmth, apparently. Also Santa brings ornaments every year, preferably ones that somehow ...

Ommmmm
Have you checked out the Target Daily Deals today? They have an adorable koi fish yoga mat for $13 shipped, which is a nice little deal if you need one. I’m pretty sure I paid $18 on sale for the last one I bought. And frankly I wouldn’t kick that pink patent clutch ($15!) out [...]  ...

Shoe-fly
It’s true; you shop at 6pm.com, and then shoes magically fly into your house. I swear! Today’s deals include XOXO and Haiku bags, Adidas shoes, Fitzwell gear (loving those $8 yoga pants!), and more. I could stop shopping at 6pm, but I’m pretty sure my life would cease to have ...

Bucket o’ fun
If you’re looking for a regular ol’ bucket of Lego, you could do a lot worse than this Ultimate Building Set of 405 pieces for $20 from Amazon. It ships for free with Prime, or get your order up to $25 for Free Super Saver Shipping. It’s probably about time for me to buy ...

I will use it by the pool, I will use it like a fool
I love cordless phones because they’re so convenient and because I’m clumsy enough that a phone with a cord is an invitation to disaster, for me. But I hate cordless phones because occasionally I can’t find any of them, on account of my children have left them all in a pile in ...

You could cover the whole fridge
Alert and pretty (er, handsome) Want Not reader Chris tipped me off early this morning that Snapfish is offering 100 free prints today only. Just spend at least $5 on anything else, then use coupon code FREE5 and get your freebies. In other words, today would be a good day to organize your ...

I’ve got the whole moon, in my room
(I’m hearing that to the tune of “Whole World In His Hands,” just so you can share the earworm joy.) I love this: Get a moon in your room from National Geographic for just $15—use coupon code EM111509B6 for free shipping. It’s currently $19 at Amazon (but check out ...
