Love it when IKEA seizes the days! They seized two weekends last month, and they’re at it again this weekend! If you’ve never been to IKEA - I highly recommend them. As I’ve said before, their furniture styles are not my furnishing style, but with two stories of products (at amazing prices, even without a sale), a household treasure can always be found!

The best deal this weekend?  Laminate flooring at $0.49 per square foot, with seven colors from which to choose (and a 15-year warranty)!

Forget the 50% discount! Restaurant.com has just released a new coupon code good for 70% off all restaurant gift certificates, and the code is good through Monday, October 13th. All $25 restaurant gift certificates are only $3!

How does Restaurant.com offer these discounts? Local restaurants partner with Restaurant.com to promote their establishment…if Restaurant.com can bring customers in once on a discounted meal purchase, and the customers are served good food and service…they’ll return!

Because restaurants must agree to partner with Restaurant.com in order for their gift certificates to be sold, Restaurant.com is able to offer an unconditional guarantee on all certificates. If you ever have a problem with a restaurant.com certificate, just send them an email or call 1.800.979.8985.

I know what you’re thinking, but no…I did not pull a Casey Anthony and use someone else’s money (don’t get me started on this)! A couple of days ago, I posted an article about a special promotion at E.L.F. cosmetics and finally had a chance to try it out tonight…excellent deal!

Above are (tiny) pictures of everything I purchased…and in the end, it didn’t cost a penny, though my total before discounts was $76. Here’s exactly what I did…

Thanks to Bekah for passing along this info from the Environmental Defense Fund. The EDF works to “fight global warming, protect endangered species, restore our oceans, clean up toxic pollution and promote tough clean air and water health and safety standards.” In an attempt to improve actions concerning environmental policy, the EDF has drafted a letter to both of the Presidential candidates requesting several actions to be taken during the first 100 days in office. In exchange for signing that letter, the EDF will send you a free gift of your choice: a travel mug, umbrella, or reusable shopping bag (you can also sign the letter without requesting a gift).

This is a great time to stock up on gift certificates to your favorite restaurants. The supply of available certificates has been replenished, so check your area to see if there’s anything you’ll use! Unfortunately, time requires us to eat out much more often than we’d like…and money requires us to eat out less frequently than we’d like! Restaurant.com helps out by offering discounted gift certificates.

Even without a coupon code, the gift certificates are priced at less than half of their face value. Use this week’s coupon code, and take an additional 50% off…that’s a $25 restaurant gift certificate for $5!

Thanks to Claire for this awesome find! Whether or not you’re willing to purchase cosmetics online, one can never have too many cosmetic cases! Anything in the form of a bag, basket, or bin can be used to organize all of those household essentials. I keep a train case-style cosmetic bag filled with first aid essentials that can be quickly grabbed for those emergencies that require anything from a bandage to burn cream. It’s practical, handy (with handles!), and much more stylish than your average first aid kit!

Through 10/08/08, ALL of the E.L.F. cosmetic cases are 75% off with the use of a coupon code … meaning many cosmetic cases are under $3! With every order of $20 or more, you’ll also receive a free subscription to W Magazine!
