Groupon: $40 for $100 at Shabby Apple

Are you familiar with Groupon? It's a site that offers daily deals (usually just one, maybe two) at a discount in a bunch of cities. I'm signed up to the Los Angeles and Orange County Groupons. It's great for getting deals at restaurants -- I once bought a Groupon deal for $40 worth of food and drinks for only $20. A certain number of people have to buy the deal for it to become effective.

Today the "side deal" in the Hampton Roads Groupon is for the online store Shabby Apple. The great thing is, you don't need to live in Hampton Roads to use it since the store is online.

Here's the deal: $40 for $100 Worth of Vintage-Inspired Clothing and Accessories from Shabby Apple

$96


The Bonheur
$76
(Bike and Paris not included although for $76 they should be. Ahem.)

La Tour Eiffel
$76
(Eiffel Tower not included. The humor is nonstop around here. What can I tell you?)
(Ceci n'est pas un bon marché.)

This link should take you to the Hampton Roads Groupon.
This link will take you directly to the Shabby Apple deal, which is $40 for $100 of merchandise.

So you could buy the CEO or Boss dress for 40 bucks and some change instead of $96 bucks and some change. It's like making your own sale.

Details on the Groupon:
Expires Jan 23, 2011
Limit two per person, may buy two additional as gifts. Limit one per visit. Shipping not included. Not valid with other offers or toward sale items. Valid for online purchases only. Valid for redemption 24 hours after purchase date. This deal cannot be used with other offers or toward sale items.

Here's an invite to Groupon or just go to their site and sign up (I don't think you need an invitation to sign up).

Shabby Apple is also having a 20% off promotion with code Summer20. (I don't think you can use this with the Groupon deal.) (Excludes Manhattan, Skyscraper, Bridemaid, Accessories) can't be combined with other offers.

Looks like you can use the 20% off on the sale section though.

Remington Blow Dryers for Under $10

I have a heckload of hair. It used to be that I needed my blow dryer to live. I have since gotten really lazy. Really really lazy. And really frizzy.

But I'm turning over a new leaf, people. And that's why, I suppose, I saw blue sparks shooting out of my blow dryer this morning. Ok, they weren't "shooting out" but I'm not splitting hairs (ha! I unintentionally punned!).

And because the gods love me, Target's Daily Deal today is for Remington blow dryers in three patterns:











Each is $9.99 and ships for free (no code needed) for today only.

Use code TOEY738U for an extra 10% off.

Also, if you go through THIS LINK for bing cashback, you'll see a Target link on the right for 10% off. Of course, bing cashback does not always work when you have a code but why not take your chances.

So, a blow dryer for less than 10 bucks with tax, shipped. Not bad, right? Guess which pattern I ordered in the comments.

Wii Fit Plus with Balance Board for $75 + free shipping

One of the worst things about being a professional shopper* is buying something that you see for less later.

Dell.com has the Wii Fit Plus with Balance Board on sale for $74.99. That's $25 off the regular Dell price of $99.99.** Plus, they have free shipping on orders over $49.***

My only consolation is that tax in California will bring the price up to more than what I bought it for. Scratch that. I just checked. Tax would be $6-7 so that's exactly what I paid for it. What a relief. Enjoy the deal, folks. Don't mind me and my rambling!

Sub Total $74.99
Shipping & Handling $14.99
Shipping Discount -$14.99
Tax $6.56 (Note, you won't be charged tax in every state.)
Total $81.55

Don't you want one of these things? Really you haven't lived until you've done mildly kung fu moves while standing on a plastic step. And there's a game where you just sit there on the balance board and try not to move. That's my kind of fitness, people. Although the Wii Fit does nasty things like calculate your age based on some random memory, coordination and balance tests. Oh yeah, and it calculates your weight and your BMI. So really it's a fancy scale that scolds you for not having perfect balance. Awesome, right?****

Three more things:
(1) You can get 10% cash back on your purchase through bing. I wasn't able to find the Dell store on the bing cashback page but if you do a search for the word "vizio" you can find a Dell link on the right panel. I've tried to get cash back with bing on the Dell site before and it didn't work but that was because I was using a promo code. I think this should work.

(2) Ok, so this is weird but I'll just tell you what happened. I had trouble finding the Wii Fit on the Dell site and that annoying prompt came up asking me if I wanted to chat with a representative. I always say yes when that happens. I don't have a lot of friends. Aaaanyway, the chat-woman found me the Wii Fit and then asked me if I'm thinking of purchasing it today. I said yes, I'm thinking about it. She said if you purchase it today, I can offer you free shipping on it. Apparently, she needs to read this blog because Dell has free shipping on orders over $49. I'm just relating this so you know that there's some wheeling and dealing to be done on the Dell chat rooms.

(3) You can not only make cartoon icons of yourself on the Wii, but you can make them of your pets. And you can weigh them. So every time I sign on the kittens are there with me on the screen and they show up in the games. I. die. It's so cute.

*I'm not a professional shopper, just very very committed.

Metrostyle -- $15 off $15

What do you do when it's 1 a.m., you wake up for unknown reasons, and your cat refuses to spend any time with you?

1. Make The Big Fella's breakfast.
2. Make The Big Fella's lunch.
3. Refrain from making yet another dinner until The Big Fella eats through the (a) chicken and rice, (b) chicken parmesan, (3) corned beef and potatoes, (4) enchiladas with spanish rice, and (5) shepherd's pie. Did I mention it's only two of us humans in the house and that I don't eat meat?
4. Tell you about this Metrostyle code for $15 off a $15 purchase.

If you guessed all of the above, you win a prize.*

I know what you're thinking. What the !@#$% is Metrostyle? But, underneath all that skanky clothes and accessories are some cute items.

This is my fave on their site. I didn't buy it because

I


am


super


cheap.

If you buy it, don't tell me about how cute it is.


Look how unbelievably happy the model is. I could have been this happy.

Cuteness runners up include:


Does this not look magical? I believe it has healing powers.


Stretch Lace Turtleneck
$12.99
Available in Black, Ivory, Silver Metallic and True Red.

Yes, I still want to look like Stevie Nicks circa 1972...

...because, God help me, she is still my fashion idol for 27 years running.

Speaking of Bella Donna, I have a theory that whatever cultural influences you're exposed to by the age of 10 become a part of your identity so when you see them again as adults it's like finding a lost piece of you. That's why I don't blame a lot of 20 year olds for liking Green Day. If you're in your 30s though, you're on your own.

What were we talking about again?

Oh yes.

The code works on clearance items and shipping and handling starts at $6.99. That means you can get out of there for a total of eight bucks if you shop strategically. Yes, upon hearing the code was $15 off 15, I had to find something as close to $15 as I could. It's an illness.


Filigree Sandals
$15.99
Available in Gold Metallic, Black, and Mauve Berry.


Ruched Slingbacks
$16.99
Available in Black and Graphite.



Cabled Kabuki Sleeve Sweater
$16.99
Available in Bright Green and Bright Rose.


Zipper Clutch
$16.99
Available in Black, White, Yellow and True Red.


Braid Clutch
$16.99
Available, in Sunkiss, Posy, White and Black.

What do you do when you can't sleep?

*The prize is the leftover shepherd's pie. Sorry. Someone has to eat it.

Gift Ideas: Photo-Engraved Lockets

It's one of my basic tenets of shopping to shop for gifts year-round and never last-minute.

Shopping Rule #1: Don't purchase in a panic!

That means that, yes, I've already bought some Christmas gifts and I've definitely bought most of my fall birthday gifts. In that vein, I thought I'd share this gift idea in case you all have any overly sentimental saps, such as myself on your shopping lists.

It's no secret that I love lockets. I have at least seven of them. I wore this huge one on my wedding day:



Pictures on Gold is a company that puts your photos on lockets (you send in a photo, they resize and edit it and put it directly on the metal of your choice).

Introducing Cellfire

Cellfire is a web site that will transfer coupons and savings to your grocery store cards. From what I can tell they are hooked up with discounts and coupons for Vons, Pavillions and Ralphs. You can register by giving them your email address, birth year, phone number and your store card number. Then you browse through the products on which they have savings in each store. For example they've got "Save .75 on Betty Crocker Supreme Brownie." You click the "Save to Card" link under that product and it sends that savings directly to your card. So you can go to the store, buy the brownies, show them your card and you'll get the 75 cent discount without a coupon. Seems pretty clever, right. I've signed up for it but don't know if it works. If anyone has tried this, let me know.

Amazon $5 album sale

Holy gumballs, Amazon has 100 albums for $5 each. This is very exciting if only because Jeff Buckley's Grace is one of those albums. Stop what you're doing and go out (stay in) and get this album (download the mp3 of the album). Then listen to it over and over again in your room, on your headphones, and play Track 6 (Hallelujah) over and over again and read all sorts of meaning into the line "love is not a victory march" and wonder what the heck that has to do with cutting your hair and bathing on the roof, and regret that you didn't play this song walking down the aisle (or In My Life, or Canon in D, for the love of ice cream) and remember that The Big Fella also vetoed it as a first dance, then maybe google your ex-boyfriends and call it a day! Sometimes I forget that this isn't Helene's Bad Mood. Anyway, buy Grace. It's super fantastical. If you have an extra 5 bucks burning a hole in your wallet, check these bad boys out:

Billy Idol, Greatest Hits (Don't hate. Dancing With Myself and Catch My Fall are awesome and not even in just a nostalgic way.)
Kings Of Leon, Because Of The Times (Not including the link because you're better off without this album. I haven't heard it but, trust me.... I'm an expert in bad music.)
Carole King, Tapestry (What?)
John Mayer, Continuum (ha ha)
The Beach Boys, Endless Summer (including Don't Worry Baby -- very very dreamy)
Rage Against The Machine, Rage Against The Machine [Explicit] (Is Tom Morello overrated, or what? Please discuss.)
Eddie Vedder, Music For The Motion Picture Into The Wild
Silversun Pickups, Swoon (Amazon MP3 Exclusive Version) [+Video] [+Digital Booklet]
Matisyahu, Light
Coldplay, A Rush Of Blood To The Head (Warning Sign and Amsterdam. Enough said.)
The Smashing Pumpkins, Siamese Dream
Simon And Garfunkel, Live From New York City, 1967
30 Seconds To Mars, A Beautiful Lie

Everclear, So Much For The Afterglow
(Santa Monica Blvd. in my Jeep Wrangler on my way to my multistate bar review class, singing at the top of my lungs to Father of Mine. Oh 1998.)
Duran Duran, Rio (2001 Remaster) (I'm not going to tell you my favorite track because it's too emabarassing.)
Ice Cube, The Essentials [Explicit] [+digital booklet]
Various Artists, Sex And The City: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
Roxy Music, Flesh And Blood (Rio wishes it was this album.)
Nada Surf, The Weight Is A Gift
