I tend to forget about JC Penney, but I do actually like that store. It’s kind of like Macy’s but less crowded and cheaper. OK, maybe it’s more like Sears without the tools… the hardware kind of tools.

If you didn’t get your shipping fix this weekend, then check out the online deals on Monday (called Cyber Monday, but I hate the word “cyber” because it’s outdated and sounds icky). It’s supposed to be the biggest online shopping day of the year, so I’m not really even sure where to start.

Here’s a pretty good list of deals and coupons to get you on your way.

If you enjoy shopping at Ulta, check this out. You can get $5 off a $10 purchase by using the coupon code 31877. The deal expires Dec. 31.

Feel like winding down after a weekend of eating and/or shopping? Here are Redbox codes that will supposedly get you a free rental. (Reminder: If you use a code, don’t reserve the DVD online. Instead, enter the code at the kiosk.) If you’re not familiar with Redbox, I talked about it here.

If the above codes don’t work, here are 3 older codes that are good for 1 use:

DVDATWAG (only at Walgreens)
DVDONME
BREAKROOM

(Thanks, Fabulessly Frugal)

If you live near a Pinkberry, you should know a couple things:

1. I am crazy jealous of you.
2. Pinkberry now has chocolate! yogurt.
3. Here is a coupon for a Buy One Get One Free small yogurt with toppings.
4. You’re welcome.

(Thanks for the tip, Misty)

If you haven’t tried Redbox, you are missing out.

That’s quite a statement, but it’s true. For only $1, you can rent DVDs that normally cost $5 at Blockbuster and the like. The rentals are for 24 hours only (due by 9 p.m.), but for a dollar, who’s complaining?

Here’s how it works:

Go to the Redbox web site and look up your closest location. Redbox is a kiosk, often found outside Walgreens stores. If there’s one in your area, you’re good to go.

There are 2 ways to rent. You can either create an account online and reserve your DVD and then go pick it up from the kiosk, or you can skip going online and just go to the kiosk. If you do that, there is a chance the DVD you want will not be available, since you didn’t reserve it.

The awesome thing about Redbox is that if you don’t even want to pay a dollar, you can still get a free movie every month. Go here to sign up for Redbox email and text alerts. If you sign up for email alerts, you’ll be sent a code for a free rental. If you sign up for SMS (text) alerts, they’ll send you a free code the first Monday of each month, so make sure you sign up before December rolls around.

Do keep in mind though that if you want to use a promo code for a free rental, you can’t reserve it online – you must go directly to the kiosk and enter the code. If you try to do it online, there’s no place to enter the promo code. (I got very confused by this and wound up accidentally paying $1 for my “free” rental, so don’t do what I did!)

I’ve only rented from Redbox once, but aside from the payment mistake, it went well. Fortunately, there’s a Redbox not too far from where I live, and there’s a Redbox a few blocks from my office, so I was able to return it there.

Now all you need is popcorn and you’re ready for a night in!

It’s time for another Gap/Old Navy/Banana Republic sale. You can get 30% off (in-store) from Nov. 12-15 by using this coupon. And 5% of the purchase price goes to charity.

(Thanks, Rebecca, for the reminder.)

The other day I was looking for a book on Amazon and I was frustrated that even though it was the cheapest used book, by the time I added shipping, it was almost as much as buying a brand new book (and then buying something else to qualify for free shipping – which I didn’t really want to do either). So I did a little searching and came across Alibris. It’s kind of like the Amazon marketplace but it’s only books, music, movies, etc. – like old school Amazon. I was able to get the book from Alibris for a little cheaper than Amazon, and I found a $1 off coupon code, so it worked out. At least I hope it will; I haven’t received the book yet but it’s supposed to be on its way.

Anyway, today I got an email from Alibris with some discount codes (that are Beatles-themed for some reason), so  I thought I’d pass them on:

• Save $3 off $30 - code: MAGICAL
• Save $6 off $60 - code: MYSTERY
• Save $10 off $100 - code: TOUR

I love fred flare and their collection of cute yet mostly affordable things. This is a great time of year to check FF out, especially if you’re looking for an unusual secret santa or white elephant gift.

I have this shower curtain. It makes me happy.

Cute!

For your favorite "too cool for Christmas" friend?

For today only (Oct. 30), you can get 50% off your purchase at Payless Shoes by using this coupon.

Sephora is having a Friends & Family sale where you can get 20% off by using code ff2009. The code works on sale items as well.

Speaking of Sephora, I went in there recently because I was curious about Bare Escentuals, and the saleswoman gave me a demo. While she was doing it, she was raving (a million words a minute) about how great it looked on me. When she was finished, she had me look in the mirror and said very enthusiastically “Can’t you see the difference?”

And I smiled and nodded and said yes. But, really, I couldn’t see a difference. As nice as she was, I just wanted her to stop talking, so I agreed with whatever she said.

I didn’t dislike it; I’m just not sure I want to pay that much for make-up, but I keep thinking about all those reviews on Sephora about how great it is, and I wonder if I committed to it, would I love it too?

Anyone have strong feelings about this product?
