Start the day with geekery

Mir — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 12:25:36 +0000

How much do I love the t-shirts at ThinkGeek? I could recount the many, geeky ways I love them, but geekery just ran into frugality and had a miraculous love child, so I’ll stick with sharing that. On their t-shirt page, take a look at the “Customer Favorites” column all the way on the right, there. [...]

Why yes, I would like another coupon

Mir — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 19:35:01 +0000

I know that Justice seems to do a 40% off coupon pretty regularly, but it just figures that last week I wanted one and couldn’t seem to find a current one. No matter! Now we can use code 774 for all purchases of hip girly clothes through March 22nd, 2010, bringing their prices down from [...]

Keep moving

Mir — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 18:59:51 +0000

I’ve often thought it would be fun to wear a pedometer to find out how many steps I take in a day… particularly on the weekends, when we never seem to stop moving. But then I remember that pedometers cost money, or I see something shiny and forget I was even thinking about it. But now [...]

Two hours to dress up

Mir — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 17:08:31 +0000

Need a cute new dress for Spring? Hop on over to the The Limited, where for the next two hours only (noon to 2:00 p.m. Eastern) you can use coupon code 260 to take 40% off of any regularly-priced dress. This is one of those you snooze, you lose kinds of things. But if you’re online [...]

Got earbuds?

Mir — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 14:53:03 +0000

If you need some new earbuds but are ready to step up from the middlin’ ones that come standard with your iPod, check out the current headphone deals at Amazon. There are some pretty nice noise-isolating options marked way down, plus there’s a pair of cute Skullcandy buds for just $5. (Reviews aren’t stellar on [...]

I love the lightning

Mir — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 14:00:59 +0000

Hey, it looks like Amazon is running Lightning Deals every hour, this morning, so there’s plenty of chances to save big. They just revealed the 6:00/9:00 a.m. deal (pick your time zone…), which was listed as being a “clothing deal,” but is actually a set of BAGGU reusable bags. Okay, they lose points for labeling, [...]

Make a girl happy

Mir — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 12:25:14 +0000

It only happens twice a year, and now is one of those times: Through March 28th, 2010, American Girl is offering free shipping on any order with coupon code A302271. The coupon may only be used once per customer, so shop carefully. Also, get ready for effusive “thank you”s. I don’t know what it is about this [...]

Store me, save me

Mir — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 20:06:51 +0000

These two are repeats, but they always seem popular and someone always says “Gone before I got one!” when I post ‘em. So here they are; get in on the deal quickly if you’ve missed out in the past! First, we have the ever-popular Rubbermaid Easy-Find Lid Storage Set available from Amazon for just $11 (look [...]

Get ready for the beach

Mir — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 16:30:23 +0000

We’ve had a couple of days of gorgeous weather, and I’m dreaming of summer. Apparently the folks at 6pm.com are, too, because today’s specials are all about stuff you’ll be ready to rock out with this summer. They’ve got Reefs, Ocean Minded, and I don’t know how I missed O’Neill for all of this [...]
