Your Good Buy Of The Day (Part 1)

<p>NYmom -
did you use the extra 10% off coupon that is available Oct 14-17 for Overstock?</p>

<p>Thanks Thumper. He does have a few pair of jeans from Express that fit him perfectly. We’ll stop in there when we do our lap around Tanger (outlet).</p>

<p>For those talking about the Express, I saw this on Slickdeals today:</p>

<p>Express is having a Semi-Annual Clearance Sale up to 70% off + an additional 20% off during checkout. Shipping is flat rate $8. They also have $15 off of $30, $30 off of $75 and $75 off of $200 with Promo code 1782. You can also print a coupon online for your local store:</p>

<p>[EXPRESS:</a> Fashion Sale: Get up to Half off on Hot Designer Styles](<a href=“http://www.express.com/content.jsp?pageName=mainsale&pubname=**Slick%20Deals**&pubID=k1971]EXPRESS:”>http://www.express.com/content.jsp?pageName=mainsale&pubname=**Slick%20Deals**&pubID=k1971)</p>

<p>Went Whole foods yesterday. The cashier couldnt get the barcode reader to work on the flowers I had, so I jokingly said “you get 3 chances-- then its free”. He said-- “ok-- you shouldn’t be penalized because our reader wont work” and he gave them to me! Then when I got home I realized they forgot to put one item I purchased in the bag. So I had to go back. They gave me the item and took it off my credit card (so in essence gave it to me for tree). Nice customer service!</p>

<p>jym, I used a one-time 10% off offer that was emailed to me because I hadn’t bought anything at Overstock for a while. It could only be used once, and there was no promo code - it was a click through - or I would have posted the info. I did check retailmenot.com and saw that 10% off coupon. I hope it works for people.</p>

<p>I actually went on the site to get a rug pad. Overstock has great rug pads at great prices. Their “Durable” carpet pads are Safavieh’s. I ended up buying mine at another site because O did not have the size I needed in stock. I remembered that I’ve been wanting a waffle maker since my old one died a year ago, and found this deal.</p>

<p>Success, but not a good buy. Stopped at Banana Republic on the way to the outlet mall and found a pair of khakis that fit son very well. It was their slimmest cut of khakis: Emerson fit. </p>

<p>Now we’re heading to the outlets for some fun.</p>

<p>My son does NOT compromise on the fit of his pants. He figures they last a long time with care, and they need to look nice. He’s slim cut…and short…Express is his go to place for pants. Glad you found some that fit well.</p>

<p>Great day. Ended up with really nice slim khakis from Banana Republic, a red casual button down shirt from Guess (half price the sale price-ended up being $23.00), and a Merona dress Oxford shirt from Target. Son is a happy camper because I paid for everything. He bought himself 2 long sleeved knit shirts at PacSun (buy one, get one half price) and a new wallet.</p>

<p>We have one more stop (to pick up husband’s ice cream birthday cake) and then home to cook the special birthday dinner and celebrate. I hope everyone enjoyed their day today :).</p>

<p>thumper, I have a short, slim, picky son too. Do you mean the Express stores that are generally in malls? I don’t know that I have ever entered one, but I didn’t think they had clothes for boys! I will check it out.</p>

<p>Yes…the Express stores in the malls…they do carry clothes for males…and my kid LOVES them.</p>

<p>Funny–my S doesn’t like them. Tastes vary so much! They do have several styles of men’s dress shirts and slacks. The ONLY slacks that fit S nicely are ONE style & size & fit BR makes – hope they never discontinue it! It’s only available on-line as it is.</p>

<p>Went to the Staples weekly ad online and it had a $5 coupon. One needs to spend $25 to use it and there are some exclusions/restrictions listed. Mine is good through 10/22/11.</p>

<p>Coldwater Creek shoppers, they are currently offering 40% off the lowest outlet prices.</p>

<p>bid on ebay and successful! 150 Finish Powerball QUANTUM dishwasher detergent tablet, $6.xx shipping $11.xx, no tax… thanks to CCer’s tips…</p>

<p>There’s a deal on travelzoo for Omaha steaks and stuff [$49</a> - Omaha Steaks: 36 Gourmet Cuts and Sides, Reg. $177 | Travelzoo Local Deals](<a href=“http://www.travelzoo.com/local-deals/deal/7260]$49”>http://www.travelzoo.com/local-deals/deal/7260)

<p>This package includes:</p>

<p>We don’t eat much beef but I know that Omaha Steaks are supposed to be very good. The cost is $68 including shipping. Is this a good deal?</p>

<p>Got wristlets at the Vera Wang store yesterday; they were 50% off, so $18 apiece instead of $36. Will give one to D & the rest to my nieces. They’re cute and lightweight and washable. Hopefully it will be useful to D who doesn’t like carrying a purse but it can help her when she needs to bring a phone, key, credit card & DLicense.</p>

<p>I have been looking at the Omaha Meat’s website for a few days, the basic site, the mrrebates deal and now the travelzoo deal. They are like Dell in that you keep finding other deals with slightly different packages & names. I feel like I am not sure which one is the best deal & each site does NOT link you to the other site’s deals. Accessing via Mrrebates.com does not show the specials on the regular site, but an entirely different set of deals.</p>

<p>Personally, I’ve decided I like to buy my protein as I want to eat them because they’re never quite as good to me & H after they’re frozen. It would take me a while to eat all of that meat. I did buy a batch of meat once (fell for a scam – long story). Have vowed not to do it again. Besides with just the 2 of us, no sense having our freezer keeping all that meat for so long. </p>

<p>Sorry, can’t answer your question about the deals you have. I like to go to local sources & compare the price, adding in the inconvenience of having to store so much meat.</p>

<p>northeastmom, Thanks for the reminder on coldwater creek. I found a freeshipping code as well good through 10/19 ( WZH7597 ) no minimum order, whoot-whoot!! :slight_smile: I was able to pick up a cute scarf and earrings for my SIL for her b’day for $21 (reg. $56 + ship).</p>

<p>Thanks blueiguana and northeastmom!! Three shirts for $25 and change (after tax)!! Woo hoo!! Needed to update my casual wear for an upcoming trip to Disney in December.</p>
