I’ll be there, with cute shoes on

Mir — Tue, 09 Feb 2010 12:45:39 +0000

I’m digging today’s deals at 6pm.com, not the least of which because they have RSVP shoes for up to 80% off, and that’s one of my favorite brands to get something a little bit cute for not very much money. Just sharing in case you, you know, have a party to get to or something.

Breakfast!

Mir — Tue, 09 Feb 2010 11:11:50 +0000

Just in case you didn’t happen to notice it during that football game last weekend, today Denny’s is offering free Grand Slam breakfasts until 2:00 p.m. I will be here at my desk sipping coffee, both because pancakes are not part of my diet and because, um, we don’t have a Denny’s. But you go and [...]

Stay close this Valentine’s Day

Mir — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 19:35:00 +0000

Hopefully for this coming Valentine’s Day (heck, for every day) you can be with the ones you love. But we all know that that’s not always possible; jobs, school, all sorts of life kinds of things can get in the way of being where you want to be, when you want to be there. The next [...]

Cheap shipping on the good deals

Today and tomorrow (that’s February 8th and 9th, 2010), Macy’s is offering $.99 shipping on clearance items. This is my favorite time to snag that dress or purse I’ve been eying but haven’t wanted to pay $8 to ship. It’s $.99 per item, so not the greatest deal if you’re buying a lot of stuff, but [...]

Winners of the Chobani Champions contest

Mir — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 17:10:34 +0000

I love how excited y’all are about Greek yogurt. It does my geeky little Chobani-loving heart good, and that’s aside from all the lovely “good” bacteria that’s making your digestive system all happy and such. I promised you five winners, and five winners you shall have. In no particular order, they are: Adrienne (commenter 135), Melinda [...]

For all my fellow tween girl moms

Mir — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 16:36:15 +0000

We are not discussing this, because actually talking about it! Out loud! On the Internet! Would be, like, totally embarrassing, and stuff. But let’s just say that for $3, Kotex may have something you’ll want for your daughter, in a pretty package, and we don’t have to discuss it, but it’s perfectly natural, honey. Really, all [...]

We love Lego

Mir — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 13:23:59 +0000

It’s not as though we need more Lego; ever since Christmas threw up at my house, I think it’s fair to say that we’re not exactly short on little plastic bricks. Ahem. Nonetheless, I do periodically bop on over to the Sales and Deals section at Lego and today I see that they’ve added a [...]

Only a little bitter

Mir — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 11:10:36 +0000

Remember when you felt all smug if you found a highly-rated GPS unit with text-to-speech capability for under $200? No? That’s just me, then? Fine. But I still remember, and the fact that today’s Amazon Gold Box holds a Garmin Nuvi 285WT—which not only has the coveted text-to-speech capability, but MSN Direct Traffic, as well—for [...]

Big yum comes in small packages

Mir — Sat, 06 Feb 2010 17:01:57 +0000

Some of you know that I am currently on a weight loss challenge with some friends, and the cornerstone of my new diet plan is More Protein, Less Fat. (Yes, that’s revolutionary. I should totally start my own diet program with that keen insight, don’t you think?) I’ve been on the plan for five weeks [...]

Saturday deals

Mir — Sat, 06 Feb 2010 14:37:50 +0000

Gooooood morning! Let me tell you right off that there’s a contest coming up later on that is nothing short of both nutritious and delicious. You don’t want to miss it, trust me. I’ve had several readers ask lately what to get their fellas for Valentine’s Day, so I thought I’d offer up a few options. [...]
