Smash frees!

Sorry to be prolific with the make up stuffs today, but Smashbox has a smokin' deal (for them).
You can get a full-sized Cream Liner Palette for Free with any purchase when you enter code PALETTE at checkout. Free Shipping + Free jumbo sample + Free bonus sample with any order.  That's a lot of frees!  But even though it's on any order, all their stuff is pretty expensive, so the cheapest thing you'd get starts at $15 and goes up.  But, if you were thinking of splurging and getting something fancy, I'd do it now.

6DollarShirts.com - geeky awesomeness.

Have an oddball in your life you are trying to get a present for?  The husband found this site looking for a shirt with the old Russian CCCP on it - 6DollarShirts.com.  And as the name suggests, all the shirts are 6 bucks!  From geeky to political to retro, to indie to eww (there's some gross ones on there, so keep away from the "Crude and Offensive" category), there's a shirt  for every one on your list.

How can you beat that price??  Plus, if you want to buy blank tees, they have them in men's and women's sizing in a ton of colors, $3 of mens, $3.50 for womens.  Dang, if you need blank shirts in bulk for an event, I can't think of a better price.  There's also the $2.95 Random Mystery Shirt if you're feeling adventurous.  And if you want to be creative and submit a design of your own, you could win $500 and $100 store credit.  Cheap and hilarious, a fabulous gift for that weido - yourself or a friend!

Avon

As a girl, I'd love leafing through my mom's Avon catalogs.  Not just inexpensive make-up, there's fun jewlery, fashion and gifts!  A few months ago someone put me on a e.mail list for an Avon representative, and I was shocked how many times I'd get a message about free shipping!  So, I gave the site a shot and I love it!  I'm not big into fancy names and expensive makeup, I like inexpensive options as I'm always changing my mind and style.  Best part about the site?  Honest user reviews on every product - I love that I can get so many opinions and info before I splurge on that $2 tube of lip gloss :)

So right NOW - it's FREE SHIPPING on a $10 order+ with an eRepresentative through 12-19-09 and besides the fun make up, the stocking stuffers for the kids are inexpensive and fabulous (so go find one!)  My favorite?  The Bath Body paint for only $1.89.  Also, they are doing a 12 Days of Christmas thing and thought I couldn't find info on it anywhere but my personal e.mail, here's deal one for today:

And I think I'll strike on the stocking stuffers on Day 3, (12-10-09) and the fun colors sale on Day 5 (12-12-09):

Oh, and don't forget to check out ebates.com on any purchase you make from Avon - you get 5% back!

B&BW printable dealage

If you're lucky enough to live anywhere near a B&BW, snap this one up - print out a coupon to get a free item up to $13 on a $10 purchase.  Wowza!  Might I suggest the Midnight Pommegranate?  Expires 12-24-09   Store Locator here.

Crocs deal

So, even though I find Crocs freakish looking, I've on occasion been tempted by their ballet flats.. look so comfy, so durable... but durable as they are, it's hard to justify spending $40 on rubber shoes.  Or whatever space material they make those things out of.

But oh, even the siren song of FREE SHIPPING on all orders through the month of December is enough to draw even me to their clearance pages to see if there's anything worth getting...  not really, but I'm so weirded out by these shoes (heels by Crocs? can't fathom!) that I almost want them in some twisted way.  I'll resist though.  I'm a fighter, dang it.

If you have kids though, I would suggest hitting up the Outlet.  The clearance stuff is buy one get one 50% off, and durable squishy shoes that they can put on themselves are actually pretty dang practical on the wee ones.

*EDIT again* Thank Becky for checking out ebates.com  - there's a 4% cash back on Crocs purchases! 

Free shipping at Shade!!

Woohoo!!  Shade has FREE SHIPPING and an extra 25% off sale items through the 20th!!  They're the original long shirt shop that has in recent years branched out into dresses, sweaters, and fashion tops.  My closet has more than a few Shade items - I don't think I go a week without wearing something from them!

*Standard ground shipping only. No minimum purchase required. Valid through 11:59 pm MST on December 20, 2009.

Deal-a-day

The deals this time of year just make me giddy!  Charlotte Russe, one of my fav fashion-for-less retailers is having a deal a day up through December 12th and I love them all!  Today there are a whole bunch of adorable shirts just $6.  Flat-rate shipping of $5.99 and free returns, too.

*EDIT*  Becky is so right!  I forgot to check ebates.com!  If you do any ordering from CR, don't forget to hop over to ebates and get 3% back!!  Thanks!!!

 Last week I grabbed myself an entire year of Real Simple in their deal *swoons*  If any of these seem like they'd appeal to a loved one, what a fabulous (and thrifty) Christmas gift!

Back in the saddle

My need for deal-blogging came from living in rural-ish Brasil far from my favorite clearance racks and Tar-jays, so when we moved back to the states, this blog became moot.  And after 2 years of living in my beloved 'burbs, we're back in isolation, this time in Middle Of Nowhere, Wisconsin.  I don't even want to tell you how far the closest Target is, let alone an Ikea.  So I'm back to blogging!  I can't keep a good deal to myself and you win.  You'll notice the layout is revamped and I put some links up on the side there of my favorite haunts.  Feel free to suggest more sites to add, I'd loooove to have 'em!

So, missed you, and let's get on to the hunt!

Free shipping, woohoo!

I don't know how long this is good for, but go check it out if you can! I was just surfing wetseal.com looking for the perfect v-neck tee, when I found just what I wanted - and they were 2 for $10! And then after a quick trip to retailmenot.com (thanks Chelsea!!!!) I found a free shipping code for all orders!!

1107WLCE

So I got 2 fabulous shirts, NO shipping - the total was $10.60 total!! I don't know how long the offer is good for, so go check it out asap!!

Another freebie from Brylane...

On the same token as the free sewing machine, Brylane Home is also offering a free patchwork throw with any purchase right now, good through April 15th, 2008. I can't help it, I'm a sucker for Brylane's "free with ANY purchase" promotions. I don't know if I need a patchwork throw, but you might!
Use this code: BHFREETHROW

(I've gotten a free fondue pot and free sewing machine from these offers:)

essential tees, essential prices

I don't know about you, but I'm a tall gal who has trouble finding shirts that cover me up. If the shirt is long, it is low up top, and if it is modest on the top, it's too short on the bottom. GAH. There's a bunch of awesome resources now for us to be modest AND hott. First off there's Shade, who are the original and best at covering tees (there is a seriously asweosme $6 and $8 clearance sale going on right now!) AND on any purchase you make, use the code CAL7266 to get 5% off - that's my good friend's code, she's a personal shopper and is my hook-up to all their sales!

I also found this sale today - Jil Designs is selling all their cap sleeve modest t's (the long kind, bless em:) for $6.99 right now - and on the skirt front there's 2 adorable skirts for sale too for under $10, as well as a good plus size collection for $8.99 and lower.

Methinks I needs to do some shopping:)

Free Mini Sewing Machine

Found this at Slickdeals:

Brylane Home has a coupon code BHSEW4U for a free Mini Rex Sewing Machine with any purchase. Machine will be added automatically when you apply the coupon code. Shipping starts at $5.

Best part is, I have always wanted to learn how to sew and that is a fabulous excuse! (hello?? It's RED??) I bought some towels for $4 since you can't have too many when you have a messy baby, and I got a free sewing machine!! A year ago, my husband got a free fondue pot for me from Brylane with their same type of promition, and all he did was purchase some matress clips, which actually came in handy a few months later.

I checked the reviews for the produce on Amazon and thye are mxed, but I figure for free, it's a great place to start!!

Chelsea is a sexy beast!

Chelsea is a freaking SAINT! She sent me these awesome e.mails weeks ago and will all the family trauma, I haven't been checking myu e.mail like I should. But thye are so wonderul, I must share them with y'all!!

1) http://www.retailmenot.com/ I'm all about coupon codes for ANYTHING I buy online. This one seems to have a great number of coupon codes. Usually if I can't find anything just through a google search, I try Retail Me Not. which leads me to #2 -

2) http://www.ebates.com/If you sign up through the link below:

www.ebates.com/doublebonusoffer/index.htm?id=33318165

I'll get $10 when you sign up and YOU'LL get $10 when you sign up through my email address: chelseacc at the hotmail and then make your first purchase. (Typically you get a $5 bonus from a referral but they're running a promotion.) So Ebates is an awesome site where you go shopping online at the same stores you usually do, but if you go to ebates and then to another site (overstock.com, for example) and follow the link to Overstock, you'll get an additional 4% rebate on your purchase. AND you can use promo codes (retailmenot.com) in addition to this option. The $10 referral is only available until Feb 14th, so sign up your first account with my email address and then send out referalls to all yours and get bookoo bucks after they make their first purchase through Ebates. *if you want more details on why they'll give you money, go here: http://www.ebates.com/help/how_ebates_works.htm?navigation_id=18452 I gave my sis this bargain yesterday and instead of spending $420 on an armoire, she got it for $379, PLUS she'll get a check in the mail from Ebates for $15 from her purchase at overstock and $10 referral signup - she's getting it for $355! I should be the favorite sister.

3) http://www.todaysdod.com/This is an awesome site that shows all of the hot bargains of the day from a number of sites, including Woot and Ihavetohavethat.com. They tell you how many hours are left for the deal, what the sellout likelihood is and how hot the link is.

Shoot! I should have looked at this earlier - but I'm totally signing up on ebates anyway. THANKS CHELSEA!!!!!!!!
