Who doesn't love shoes?!

So today on Payless, it is their crazy BOGO sale. Two pairs of shoes for under $30 - sign me up!

But wait, I just found out there is a coupon code circulating for 30% off your purchase usuable online or a coupon you can print in store. I added four pairs of shoes of varying prices to my cart and the total was right around $50. Four pairs for $50. Yeah, they will fall apart in a few months but by then I will be bored with them anyways!

Code is 53833 and expires August 21, 2011.

CVS Deal

So last night, I went to CVS and totally scored so I had to share! I used coupons from this past Sunday's paper. A $4.00 off one Gillette Fusion razor and a $2.00 off one package of Pampers Cruisers. PLUS, I scanned my Extracare card when I got there and was rewarded with another store coupon for $1.00 off any Pampers Jumbo pack of diapers - SWEET!

The razor was on my list initially because it was on sale for $9.99 (regularly $10.99) and came with two blades/cartridges. This is HB's favorite razor and a four pack of blades/cartridges is normally around $13-$15 at CVS. Plus I had the coupon so $5.99 for an extra razor and two cartridges was a pretty good deal right? Add to that the CVS sale offer of $5.00 extra bucks when you purchased one meant I paid a net of $0.99 plus tax - WIHOO!

The diapers were not on my list but luckily I had my coupon folder with me. They were "on sale" (and I say that loosely because this wasn't a great price for 26 diapers - an OK price but $0.35 per diaper is way more than my usual of under $.30 per diaper delivered) for $8.99 for a jumbo pack. Then I had the $2.00 manufacturer coupon and the $1.00 store coupon making them $5.99 for 26 or $0.23 per diaper. Then I got $1.00 in Extrabucks for a net of $4.99 or $0.19 per diaper. I have to say here too that these are the Cruisers (new ones without Drymax, thankfully) which are the more expensive diapers. I wish I could have gotten this deal on my Baby Drys but those are cheaper anyways so it wouldn't have been as exciting.

Total with tax: $10.26 plus $6.00 in Extrabucks to use on my next visit.

Zulily - Alex Toys!

I know it has been a while since I shared a good deal but this is a BUSY summer and, honestly, for a while I wasn't seeing anything that excited me. Today though, I love the ALEX toys on Zulily. Easels and art tables and crafty supplies to help your little one learn to express their creativity. And they make tabletop and wall easels too which are great for smaller spaces (our big easel takes up a lot of room in the playroom so I am thinking of getting a tabletop one for upstairs so he can draw while I cook/clean/etc.).

Enjoy!

Totsy Deal on Plum District

Today's Plum District deal is like getting a double coupon of unlimited value! Totsy is a great site similar to Zulily (which as we all know is my absolute fave!) offering name brand clothing and gear for kids (as well as travel and stuff for moms and our homes!) at a deep discount. Stack that (check out my couponing lingo!) with today's Plum District deal for $30 to Totsy at the cost of only $15 and you almost qualify for that TLC show ;)

Plus, as always on Plum District, you buy the deal and three friends use your link to buy it and it is FREE!

Cool Nail Color Thing

I make no statements about whether this product works or even this website but it seems pretty cool to be able to apply no mess nail polish quickly, especially for those of us with toddlers who will likely knock over a traditional nail polish bottle, paint the walls and floors and then drink the rest, necessitating a trip to the emergency room and an explanation in an attempt to avoid DCF.

Anywho, check out SaveMore for $12 worth of nail polish strips and free shipping. The colors and patterns might be a little fun (read: wacky for those of us with conservation jobs) but the possibilities are endless.

Zulily

Lots of great sales going on over at zulily today. I would totally buy the little tights with ruffle bottoms from Bon Bon Cupcakes if I thought my son would wear them and my husband would allow it. And yay for plus sizes with dresses from Donna Ricco (in regular sizes too). Plus, if you are a mom, it is more than likely that things aren't looking great in a bathing suit even if you have lost all that baby weight. TA DA - Miraclesuit (up to size 18) and Magicsuit (up to size 16) which promises to make you look 10 pounds lighter in 10 minutes (let me know if that works!).

Happy shopping and have a wonderful holiday weekend!

Bath and Body Works

If you are a fan of BBW, head on over to the last day of their sale. Certain items are buy 3, get three free. PLUS use coupon code TEN30 and get an additional $10 off if you spend $30 or more.

For example, love their lotions? They are $10.50 each so spend $31.50 and get 6 of them and another $10 off at checkout = 6 bottles of lotion for $21.50 = AWESOME DEAL!

Kate Spade

I admit it, I seriously love and am a sucker for a Kate Spade bag that is on sale. They aren't cheap but they do last forever (although my last one - the big black original SAM bag - broke a strap recently but, hey, I had had it for almost 10 years) and are classicly fashionable. And today, they are on sale at Rue La La. I want this one:Or maybe this one:

And I am really really bummed that this one is sold out already:

Free Shipping at Totsy

So I don't generally shop at Totsy because I never find anything I like in my price range. But maybe I will give it another shot with the free shipping until July 4, 2011 at 11:59 p.m. EST if you use coupon code JULY4

Did you use it? Did you get something good? Well, let me know!

Cheap Music Downloads

I like this deal on Plum District today - $10 for 20 music downloads. Click here. The cool thing is that iTunes is a supported software program and you can download directly to your Android phone (although not iPhone but simply sync to iTunes and you are set).

PLUS, buy yours and get three friends to buy too (use Facebook to get random people from high school to buy your deal) and yours is free! We love free!

How Cool is This?!

Ok, this isn't really a deal but I think it is the coolest thing - a video baby monitor that is compatible with Skype! And, to be honest, $189.99 isn't a bad deal for a video monitor, especially one with a 650 foot range like this one has (great for taking out with you while doing yard work!) as well as a color screen.

If we have another baby, this is my monitor!

10% off at Hotels.com

Use coupon code SUMMERSAVINGS and book by June 30, 2011 and travel by January 8, 2012.

Hmmmmm, where should we go?

Melissa & Doug on Zulily

To say that today's deals were underwhelming might be the understatement of the year. BUT the pick of the crop is the Melissa & Doug sale happening over at Zulily. I am especially loving these:

See & Spell puzzles that teach words and pictures for $13.99 - what could be better than that?!

And while you are there, check out the other Zulily sales. I usually can't leave the website without putting through an order (it's a problem, I know).
