and more importantly, why Amazon?  ’cause they’ve got some really strange shit..

Here’s strange item no. 1 Nose Up Lifting Beauty Clip, originally priced at $14.95, now only .75.

No. 2 in the odd-parade: Facial Hair Remover Beauty Tool originally priced at $13.49, now only $1.50.

And finally, we have theEarLift which makes “stretched, sagging earlobes, look tight and taught (sic).that’s it, I’m now officially off of Amazon (with my wallet still intact).

UPDATE TIME: Click the link and takes your chances time:  Amazon is playing games. The pictured flag is now up to $5.40 but if you click on the link, you will see lots more 3×5 flags at the bottom, some for only a penny.  Hey, this is pretty cool.  A Jolly Roger Flag – $0.50 for a 3′ x 5′ pirate’s flag!  If you have Prime, that’s all you’ll pay.  This would make a great decoration for a birthday party – then send each kid home with a souvenir…

and goodies for babies…SoHo Sage 10-piece crib set for $39.39 (reg. $134.49)

I’ve been looking into this type of shoe lately – anything that makes me lose weight by walking to the refrigerator and back has got my interest.  Unfortunately, the shoes are enough of a novelty that they claim that novelty price.  STEEP!

This Amazon deal is for Skechers Women’s Shape Ups Kinetix Response, down from $110 to $39.95.  They’re currently on sale at Kohls for $79.99.  I have a friend who’s now on her second pair of these weird shoes.  At first there’s a constant feeling of falling, but then your muscles get accustomed.

You have until 8 pm CST to get them at this price.

Since there seems to be quite a few families out there on restricted diets, I’m posting a deal that seems sweet (cookies = sweet, get it?):  Lucy’s Cookies Grab and Go Variety Case, 1.25-Ounce bags (Pack of 16) for $17.29.  Choose the subscribe and save for 15% off and then click the $1 coupon button for another buck off.  At that point you’re at $13.70 for 16 snacks, or .86 each.

I just had to post this one, folks.  Books, yes; clothing, yes; diapers and wipes, NO!  So here they are, Seventh Generation 4 pk Generation used diapers…  How used?  A couple of drops of pee?   Place your orders now.

wouldn’t this be mailing biohazards?

I’m updating this Amazon deal because there is a new code for $10 off any baby store item at Amazon.com in the March issue of Parents magazine.  While the deal isn’t as sweet as it was earlier this week (it’s now $23.51), using the $10 off code helps to ease the pain.

There is a fantastic deal going on right now for the Pampers Soft Care scented wipes 720 count box.  Buy one box for $19.19, sign up for the “subscribe and save” option for a 15% discount (and free shipping), then another 15% comes off for Amazon Mom members (not a member yet? click here) on select items (this is one of them), bringing your total down to $13.43. If you have any of those $10 off coupons that frequently show up in the mail or in the various baby magazines, you’re looking at 720 wipes for $3.43.

Amazon is running a 40% + sale on their already-reduced clearance clothing.  Note that this deal is only good through Amazon.com merchants.

Note:  Got mine.  They were already up to 8% sold, so don’t wait! I’m sure you’re aware of these lightning deals through Amazon which run for only one hour (unless sold out earlier).  Deeply discounted even more than their usual price.  The deal just showing up now is for the Oprah limited edition of Philisophy’s Hope in a Jar:  4 oz for $45.   I’ve used their products in the past (ok, samples) and the stuff is nice.  So I’m gonna get me some gunk using the bucks that I got for free through Livingsocial.

By the way, this stuff is $38/2 oz at Ulta…so 4 oz for only 7 bucks more? though i should probably spring for the When Hope is Not Enough line…

Oh, how I remember this tv series: Secret Agent AKA Danger Man, starring Patrick McGoohan. sexy, classy, but i digress… Amazon’s Gold Box deal takes another $25.50 off the price, bringing it down to $26.49 for the complete collection. HURRY! if you want this, because it’s already 96% sold.
