Great Deal: The Twice-Yearly Disney Sale

Categories: Great Deal, Kid Stuff

No Comments


Looking for the lowest prices of the year on Disney merchandise? Now’s the time to shop the Disney Store to get the best bargains—an especially good idea if your family will be taking a trip to the Magic Kingdom sometime in the future. I guarantee you these prices are a lot nicer than what you’ll find inside the parks.

Spend $75+ and you’ll get free shipping with coupon code SHIPTODAY, too. Awesome.

Sliding keyboard case for iPhone

I’ve had an iPhone for almost four years now, and love all that it does (and can do). I have friends who are Blackberry users and would switch to the iPhone, if it weren’t for the touch screen typing. But! One such friend discovered this iPhone case that has a Bluetooth sliding keyboard case. All of the awesome of the iPhone, with the keyboard of a Blackberry.

My husband is an outdoorsy guy, who does everything from fishing to snowmobiling to hunting. Last week, in fact, he went hunting with his brother and they bagged a bear. All he has to show of this momentous occasion (apart from the bear sausage) is a few blurry phone photos. A hunting buddy told him that he needs to get a decent point-and-shoot. I agree, and had wanted to get him one for his birthday, but he had turned it down. Now that I get to buy him one (I’m the photographer in the family), I think we’re going to go with the Powershot SX 260.

Great Deal: Hoist those bikes!

Categories: Great Deal, Organized Living

The annual summer dilemma of making more space in the garage is about to be solved—right now you can get a 2-pack of RAD bicycle hoists from Buy.com for just $18 shipped, and your bikes will be put away without taking up any precious floor space.

For comparison: Amazon currently has the same bundle for $24.95, so this is about a 30% savings as well as free shipping (tricksy Amazon kept it under $25 so that you’d have to have Prime for the free shipping).

Reviews are plentiful and largely positive, so if bikes are taking over your space, this is a great deal.

Cleanser: Ole Henriksen On The Go

I got the Clarisonic Mia that I requested for Mother’s Day and I love it, love it, love it. It came with a small tube of cleanser, so when my husband and I were wandering the mall on Friday we stopped in at Sephora to buy more cleanser. The lovely sales lady told me that they didn’t have the Clarisonic cleanser in stock, but that she doesn’t use their cleanser anyway. She showed me the cleanser she uses - Ole Henriksen On The Go - and I love its citrus aroma.

Whether answering the call of, “Mom, we’re huuuuungry!” or throwing a little Summer soiree to celebrate the longer days and gorgeous weather, you can’t go wrong with Stacy’s pita chips and bagel chips. And right now at Amazon, if you qualify for their grocery coupons, there’s an available $6 off coupon on a variety of eligible Stacy’s products, giving you a simple way to pick up a case of the snack everyone loves for less.

Clip the coupon, pick your favorite product (which is likely already on sale), then buy it via Subscribe & Save to get free shipping and even more savings (you can cancel S&S any time, so it’s not a binding commitment to further purchases). Several of our favorites come out to around $2/bag, which is not only cheaper than my grocery store, I never even had to leave my desk to get it.

Food and cooking: Wine aerator

I was visiting my college roommate a few weeks ago and she asked if I wanted some wine. She opened a bottle of red, and then proceeded to pour it through a glass contraption. I asked her what it was, and she told me that it was an instant aerator. GENIUS.

Fashion: Beyond The Rack

I like to wear nice clothes, and I like to find them for a great deal. This is where Beyond The Rack comes in. I’d heard a few friends mention it, and then last week my Mother In Law told me that she’s been shopping there, too. She is known for her shopping skills (Yes, skills) and for always getting the best deals. If she’s shopping there, I will too.
