If you’re trying to save money by bringing your lunch to work, it’s worth tucking a few of these noodle bowls from Simply Asia in your desk drawer, for the days when you don’t have time to put together a brown bag at home. At about 420 calories, 5 grams of fat, and 14 grams of protien per bowlful, they’re not too bad for you (the peanut butter you usually rely on has about 100 calories, 8 grams of fat, and 3.5 grams of protien per tablespoon), and they come in flavors like soy ginger, sesame teriyaki, spicy Kung Pao, roasted peanut, so you won’t get bored with the same old, same old. They’re also shelf-stable, self-contained (they even come with their own fork!), and microwavable, so they can be ready in next to no time.

$2.50-$3.50 each at most grocery stores and at World Pantry, and $21.90 or less for a six pack at Amazon.com.

If they had this when our kiddo was little I would have gotten it. Silly Seating comes in three sturdy but soft pieces, which kids can arrange in any way they like for play or for actually sitting on. It’s made of plush micro fiber and comes in a variety of colors (although I am partial to orange). Fun and function in one.

February’s almost over, and I’ll be happy to see it go, but that means there’s just a few more days to scoop up the savings over at Hanna Andersson.

How can you save? Let me count the ways! They’re having their Spring Sale—early markdowns on their newest products—as well as a sale on underthings. That’s not even mentioning their new line of “very güd” items, which are value priced each and every day. And to top it all off, through the end of the month, if you purchase $100+, your shipping will be free, automatically.

That’s what I’m talking ’bout.

This 18.5-inch-long vase has eight slim glass tubes that let you deconstruct that fussy floral arrangement and revel in the pure beauty of each flower. The glass tubes sit in a rectangular base made of dark wood and accented with smooth, polished stones. Fill each with small branches of early-spring blossoms, a spray of colorful wildflowers, or even dried glasses or quirky-looking twigs.

Great news—today and tomorrow (through February 18th, 2010)—kids and babies are on sale at Old Navy! Well, okay, clothes for kids and babies are on sale. Which is great news if you have a fast-growing smallish human or two (or three or four or… you get the picture).

Anyway, stuff is up to 40% off, plus if you spend $50+ you can ship your order for free with coupon code ONGIVE50.

The prices will make it worth your while, but really, can you put a price on not having to drag the kids to the mall for clothes? Exactly.

I’m not one for wearing a matching shell and cardigan set but I find that pairing a cardigan with a funky t-shirt (which only goes over at work if your workplace is ultra casual), a long sleeve t-shirt or a crisp blouse is a great way to put an outfit together.

$59.50 (but only $41 now!) at Banana Republic.com
