Good deal alert: $4.99 (or less) racerback tanks, $13 EO diffuser, and deals on kids’ activities!

3 / 28 / 203 / 28 / 20

The governor ordered my county on lockdown at 8 p.m., last night. We’ve essentially been staying home, but with this new directive it’s feeling like things are getting real…

So even though I have been hard at work keeping the kids occupied, getting some work done and trying not to want to pull my hair out, I managed to scout out some good deals for you, some of which might help you make it through this time!

Good deal alert – Quarantine Edition

Under $5 for a simple racerback tank top in lots of shades and sizes. Some options are $4.99 and some are even less.

Here’s a cute woodgrain essential oil diffuser, at a killer price – $13.37 on Woot. It’s got the obligatory 7-color cycling LED function, and it has a decent capacity of 300 ml. Use your Amazon Prime account for free shipping, and Rakuten for up to 5% back.

If your kids are enjoying the free trial of ABCmouse, get two months for $5 (use promo code ABCmouse5for2), or an entire year for 62% off ($45).

I don’t know about you but I’m all about kits and activities that keep my kids busy and not watching TV or begging for my phone. Here are a couple good deals on Amazon. Don’t forget to check for Warehouse deals for extra savings. (Check out the real pasta maker – dinner’s on the kids tonight!)

How are you holding up? Just remember, we’re all in this together! #AloneTogether

Bear with me – new posts are coming soon!

3 / 10 / 203 / 10 / 20

I’ve been experiencing some technical difficulties lately, which is why you haven’t had any good deals or updates recently. I have crafted two posts in the last week, and when I went to save or publish them, WordPress gave me an error message saying “We’re sorry but that link has expired,” and when I went back I found that all my hard work was gone. No draft saved, nothing actually published. I was left staring at a blank “add new post” page.

So please bear with me (see what I did there?) while I figure this out, try to reassemble those posts and come up with some new content for you.

To hold you over, here’s a good deal on Amazon: Up to 80% off select top-rated Kindle books.

Good deal alert: $13.96 for 100 AAA batteries, sale + coupon on valentines, 1/2 off Crayola Color Chemistry

2 / 4 / 20

HUGE savings on 100-packs of AmazonBasics AAA batteries. Check “subscribe and save” and get an extra 30% off the already-low price of $19.94 at checkout – that makes it $13.96, which is under 14 cents per battery! We switched to AmazonBasics batteries a few years ago when Duracell batteries started to leak in everything, and I’ve been really happy with AmazonBasics, especially since they’re such a good buy. Note: Remember, you can set subscribe and save deliveries to every 1-6 months, and you can always edit or cancel a subscription.

If your kids are into STEM, check out this Crayola Color Chemistry Set, which is almost half off, at $12.97. The set includes supplies for at least 16 projects, and a guide to help guide you through 34 more science experiments.

Remember a few posts ago when I shared some deals on packs of Valentines for the kids (and kids at heart)? Well, quite a few of the Peaceable Kingdom Valentine sets are on sale, and Amazon has an extra $1 off coupon right now.

Looking for your next great read? Tons of mysteries and thrillers for Kindle to choose from, on sale from $0.99 to $2.99. Note: No Kindle? No problem! Download the free Kindle app for Apple or Android (Amazon) or Android (Google Play).

Woot has this ingenious “bean bag” chair, that comes empty so you can fill it with the collection of teddy bears and stuffed animals you have no idea what else to do with. I’ve seen this elsewhere for $30, so $18.24 is a pretty good deal. My kids have one – it’s a bit lumpy, but they’re kids, they don’t care. It’s perfect for throwing down and hunkering into for a movie.
