The selection is chock full of those sweet Christmas-y things, heck, the website smelled like pine to me.  I'm not kidding.

So MERCI Cathie, and do let me know when you find a faboo deal!  Spam aside, it really does pay to be on e.mailing lists for stores you dig.  There are gems to be had in them thar e.mails!

Yay for underpants!

WOOHOO!!  Today only, 12-10-09 FREE SHIPPING on any order from Victoria's Secret with the code FREESHIP.   Can we say awesome??  Seeing as the temperature here has dropped to below %$#! zero, I think I need to get a few of their super soft sweaters on clearance.  And perhaps gift for the girls?  My uber favorite yoga pants came from VS - with free shipping as well, natch.  Go have fun!!

New topic: Worth The Splurge

So, we all like to get whatever we can on sale, clearance, whatever, but what have you purchased for full price that was worth every penny?  I'll go first - Husband gave in a got me this amazing dress from Shabby Apple for my birthday, just 2 months after giving birth.  First off, I have a MAD crush on Shabby Apple dresses.  Their dresses are classic, well-made and this particular one hides my (too slowly)shrinking baby belly and doesn't even wrinkle when I travel.  I'm pretty sure it's magic, like those travelling pants.  And I can wear any accessory I want with it - even my purple tights!  It was just around $100, but every time I put it on it makes me feel thin again and fantastic with almost zero effort and I know it'll be in my closet for years to come without going out of style.  WORTH IT!  I seriously would recommend it to any woman out there.  It's MAGIC, afterall!

What was Worth YOUR Splurge?

Books and movies, oh my!

Don't forget about Etsy

I ADORE checking out etsy.com, and seeing what people with actual skillz can come up with.  I get my best gifts for people from there - things with personal touches, like guitar pick earings, cool laptop covers, you name it.  They have everything.  EVERYTHING.  When I was pregnant with baby number 2, I was looking all over online to see about buying a Bella Band and I couldn't find one for under $25, some even more.  It's an tube of fabric, people!  As I scoped out etsy one day from maternity shirts, I ran into quite a few shops selling homeade ones from $8 and up.  Much more reasonable, and it supports reg'lar folks like you and me!  (well, not me, I have no skillz there).  I bought a nice black one for $10 and it fit well and was fabulous.  So for those little things - go check etsy out.  They may just have what you need at a fraction of the price.

The seller I bought from doesn't exist now, but here's one shop of many with great ones in varieties of designs:  http://www.etsy.com/shop/RunSystem63

Have yourself a merry little eRep

So yesterday I get yet another FREE SHIPPING on ANY order e.mail through my eRep from Avon and I thought "dagnabit, I need to share the joy!"  So I e.mailed Becky and she gave me the URL for her eRep site - http://www.youravon.com/rwright5285 and if you sign up for the e.mail list, you'll get all the specials and free shipping notifications - heck, she sends out a free shipping one at LEAST once a month.  It would be ridiculous to shop Avon without one and all the savings they send!  In my frozen white tomb, that's enough to warm my heart :)  And I really think my next purchase needs to be this:

Yeah, a Hot Chocolate Maker. How awesome is that?!

Gee, jeans!

Tis the season!  FREE SHIPPING on ALL Levi.com orders through 12/21/09.

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!
