Amazon: Corelle Dinnerware for Four $18

Mercedes — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 15:15:26 +0000

Here’s a really good deal on dinnerware being offered by Amazon: Corelle 16 Piece Dinnerware for $18. This sale is good today 11/20 ONLY. This item is eligible for free shipping if you spend more than $25 on your order. Or if you signed up for the free trial of Amazon Prime then you get free two-day shipping no minimum purchase required. There are tons of very cute designs to choose from. And just as a reference, Walmart has this listed for $30 on their website.

This would make a nice gift for someone getting started living on their own, or an everyday set for anyone. I know we would be buying two sets for us for a total of 8 settings. This way we wouldn’t have to be running the dishwasher every night.

Happy Savings!

Monogrammed Ralph Lauren Towels 50% Off

Mercedes — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 19:44:59 +0000

It’s baack! Neiman Marcus is offering Monogrammed Ralph Lauren Towels for 50% off. You can get free shipping on your order by using the code NMSHIP and gift wrap is free as well!

Just to give a bit of background, this is the third year I share this deal with my readers. In the past readers have loved this deal because it is been an affordable way to give what most would seem a luxurious gift (personalized towels) for less than $16.50. I have bought some of these towels, my mom has bought these towels. I love the huge bath sheets and can say I have been satisfied with them. If you have bought these in the past please share your experience with other readers.
