Friday Bargain Bin: What to Do With Your Allowance This Week

By Jane Marie July 27, 2012

Old Havana Headband, $30 (was $80)
Look, you’re going to need one of these someday (Halloween/Birthday/Tomorrow) so you might as well get it on super sale. But, here’s a more versatile fun headband — also on deep discount — if you skerred.

Shane Powers Large Glass Wall Planter, $5.99 (was $10)
Shane Powers: master of designing cool-looking yet utterly mystifying horticultural accessories. What the hell is going on here?

Phone Handset, $29.95 (was $40)
I thought these were stupid until the other day when my friend Lisa told me it’s the only way to keep your bacterious iPhone off your precious face skin AND the cancery-rays away from your dome. People change/seasons change.

Merona Suede Loafer, $21.24 (was $24.99)
“Real suede, 20 bucks, blah blah blah. We get it, Jane.” And yeah, they’re only three dollars off. If that’s a deal-breaker, have fun spending ALL WEEKEND driving around to Targets trying to find them in the cute pink color in your size.

Snail Pail Watering Can, $39.95 (was $68)
You know someone who would love this! Remind them that you think about them.

Glitter Body Art Kit, $7 (was $25)
OOOH, all those ladies from the terrible beauty show are so jealous that you get to do this in the privacy of your own home for under ten buuucks.

Cheryl Wrap Dress, $98.99 (was $118)
Granted, this isn’t much of a sale, but the discount covers shipping at least? And if you hate it you can exchange it for this dress which I’m trying to convince my bestie to wear when she officiates my wedding. We could start a petition in the comments?

Western Bracelet Craft Kit, makes 12, $6.99 (was $9)
Gotta love Oriental Trading. Your kids and friends and neighbors might not actually wear this, but they will love that you provided something to do, other than shoving important, delicious hot dogs in their faces, at your next BBQ.

Bust of Napoleon, $135.99 (was $195)
I only put this here to say that I got all confused and skeptical when I saw this because doesn’t it look like Caesar? But no, dude COMMISSIONED this. Napoleon was such a fucking weirdo!
