NORDSTROM: Halogen Pleat Midi Skirt (regular and petite sizes) for $39.90 with free shipping and returns


Nordstrom has this Halogen Pleat Midi Skirt in both regular and petite sizes for $79.00 $39.90 with free shipping and free returns.  The skirt is machine-washable cold, is lined and is 27 1/2" in the regular length (size 8) and 26" in the petite length (size 8P).  It comes in size 0-16 and 00P-14P, and if you're a size zero, I kind of hate you a little bit.

Nordstrom's free return policy means that if you order the skirt and it doesn't fit right, they will pick up the return shipping, so your purchase is basically risk-free.

60-count Finish Powerball for $6.84 (11 cents per Powerball tablet) on Amazon


Amazon has this 60-count Finish Powerball for $8.99, but "clip" the $2.15 coupon and that price drops to $6.84, which works out to about 11 cents per Powerball tablet.

This is an Amazon Add-On item, which means that it ships for free with a $25 minimum order if you are an Amazon Prime member (and the $8.99 pre-coupon price counts towards that $25), or it ships for free with a $35 minimum order if you're not a Prime member.  You can order multiples of this item, but remember that the coupon can be used only once toward one item.  (If for some reason you need a "filler" item to get free shipping, don't forget about my favorite Amazon "filler," this box of 12 mini binder clips for 45 cents.)

Oprah magazine two-year subscription for $9.99 (24 issues, 42 cents each) with NO auto-renew



Hurry on over to DiscountMags where you can snag a two year subscription to Oprah magazine for only $9.99 (24 issues, $0.42 each) when you enter promo code DAILYCHEAPSKATE at checkout.   Because this is such a low price for this popular magazine, you can lock it in for two years only.  This magazine sells for $4.50 per issue at the newsstand, by the way, so you're going to be paying $5.00 for 12 issues instead of $4.50 for one.  I'd say that was a great deal.

Already subscribe to Oprah?  No problem, because you can renew at this price as well (even if you didn't place your original order with DiscountMags...make sure you check the mailing label and use the same name and address that you used when you bought the new subscription).  This deal is good from 2/23-2/24/15 and works for new subscriptions, renewals, and gift subscriptions and .   And of course, there is never any auto-renewal at DiscountMags, so your credit card will not be charged without your permission.

REMINDER: Last chance to double your rewards with Walmart Savings Catcher. I got over $90 in free Walmart money.


This coming week is the last chance to double-dip on savings with the Walmart Savings Catcher, so make sure to get your BlueBird card and redeem your Savings Catcher rewards before 2/28/15.

I posted about the Walmart Savings Catcher back here, and I cannot tell you how much I love this Walmart shopping feature.  Since it went live, I've snagged over $92 to my Bluebird account, which will pay for a ton of Walmart groceries for us.

Just to review, here's how it works.  You enter your Walmart receipt number into the Savings Catcher application (or you scan your receipt number with your smartphone) and wait for a few days.  Savings Catcher will run price comparisons for the items that you bought to all the local sales and flyers.  In other words, it price matches for you.  And the best part of Savings Catcher is that even if you use a coupon to purchase an item, it will still price match on the original, undiscounted price.

I had a bunch of free Coca Cola 12-pack coupons that I received from My Coke Rewards, and I redeemed almost all of them at Walmart.  The coupons are good for 12-packs of Coke products priced up to $4.99, and the ones I got at Walmart were priced at $4.69-$4.29 and Walmart price-matched them even though I got them for free with a coupon.  That's grocery money that I "earned" on a free item!  And this applies to any item on which you use a coupon.

What I love the most about Savings Catcher is that it requires zero effort.  Short of scanning the receipt number and entering the date of my shopping trip, I did nothing.  How awesome is that?

If you're a Walmart shopper, I strongly suggest you bookmark the Savings Catcher or download the smartphone app (free) and use it after every shopping trip.

Waterford Jaden Blue 60" x 126" tablecloth for $25.47 on Amazon



UPDATE:  now $34.38, and still a really good buy.

Amazon has got this 100% cotton Waterford Jaden Blue 60" x 126" tablecloth for $25.47 with free Prime/SuperSaver shipping.  It's a stellar price, as Waterford Linens tablecloths are normally much pricier than this (and deserve to be; they are very fine).  It's 100% cotton, machine washable and dryable. My Lenox and Waterford tablecloths are definitely among my best table linens.  I love this beautiful, formal, old-fashioned floral Jaden-Blue pattern, very understated and elegant.

Last three days: $5.00 per year magazine specials on Amazon, incuding Sunset, Real Simple, Cooking Light, Money and lots more

Only three more days left for this promotion!  If you've already gotten them for yourself, these make wonderful gifts and are so easy to send.  

Amazon is currently promoting some sweet $5.00 magazine subscriptions over here (through 2/24/15).  Yes, they auto-renew, but you can easily shut that down in a click (see below for easy instructions).  Here were my four favorites:


By the way, if you already have a subscription to these magazines, this deal is also good on renewals as well, even if you didn't buy them from Amazon originally (just use the same name and address that you used to subscribe; check your magazine mailing label).  Your subscription will be extended by another 12 issues.

These can also be sent as gift subscriptions as well, and Amazon will let you send a little note with the gift.

Here's what you do to shut down that auto-renewal: right after you subscribe, under your Amazon account, click on the Manage Magazine Subscriptions link, find the name of the magazine you just subscribed to and de-select the auto-renewal option.  Voila, no more auto-renewal!

LOWEST PRICE: Oxi Clean still as low as $8.49 shipped on Amazon; better price than Costco


I'm kind of shocked and very pleased that the price on this Oxi Clean stain remover has not gone up yet.  Currently. this is one of the best deals on Amazon.

I am a recent convert to Oxi Clean; it totally saved and cleaned a stained tablecloth that I was about to throw away.  Also, my new washer actually has a special Oxi cycle that sanitizes the wash when you add an oxygen based cleanser...who knew it was such a potent product?

I was really excited about this Amazon deal because it actually beats Costco's price.


Here's Costco price:  $18.35 for 13.42 lbs./290 loads, which works out to $1.37 per lb. or 6.3 cents per load.  And Amazon's price is $8.49 for 7.22 lbs/156 loads, which works out to $1.18 per lb. or 5.4 cents per load. A few cents difference per load might not seem like a huge deal, but over hundreds of loads, it will make a big savings difference.  I'm definitely stocking up.

So here's Amazon's Subscribe & Save pricing on this Oxi Clean Stain Remover 7.22 lbs.:
