admin — Thu, 05 Aug 2010 10:57:03 +0000

LocalGinger.com has done it again. Other deal sites bring us salons and restaurants, but Ginger brings us flowers. Now, THAT’s sweet. Purchase this deal today: Get an Assortment of Twenty Organic Tulip Bulbs from EcoTulips for only $10 – that’s HALF OFF. This is a mail order purchase and shipping costs $9.95. Still a bargain.

Pop-Up Discount Tack Shop, 356 W. Putnam Ave, Offers New Equipment and Clothes at 50% Off – Hurry, It Closes on August 1st.

admin — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 17:56:36 +0000

Congrats to future UPenn Student, Isabella Rolla and her brother, Michael for coming up with a great idea for a shop in Greenwich. This most horsey of towns has been without a tack store since probably forever. Back in the Dark Ages, when I rode at Round Hill Stables, I had to purchase my jodhpurs and riding hats at the Saddlery in Wilton. Apparently, that was still the case – until a few weeks ago. To add lots of icing to the cake, this enterprise is a DISCOUNT shop – the Riding Supply Outlet where everything is 50% off retail. I drove by today ( closed on Monday), but managed to peek inside and saw lots of blankets, crops, stirrups, and clothing. Kids shirts are $10, socks $7 and sturdy brushes $5 each. Unfortunately, this store will only be open until Saturday August 1st. Come Tuesday July 27-Saturday from 10am-6pm and stock up on your Fall riding needs. After that, presumably, Isabella’s got to pack up for school. 356 W. Putnam Ave.

Into Leather? How About Champagne and Truffles? Come to the Grand Opening of HH Brown Fine Leather Goods on Greenwich Ave. Wednesday – Friday June 16-18

admin — Sun, 13 Jun 2010 15:33:53 +0000

Come for the bubbly and chocolate, and you might be persuaded to purchase a “distinctive leather product” at the Grand Opening of H. H. Brown Fine Leather Goods at 173 Greenwich Avenue. Born Crown, Thierry Rabotin, and Cruyff are some of the companies represented. Visiting design teams will share their product secrets – so I’m told.

Wednesday, Thursday and Friday June 16,17 & 18th

ProFlowers Offers A Dozen Roses In Glass Vase for $19.99 (Shipping Extra)

admin — Mon, 03 May 2010 12:21:49 +0000

Sometimes, when I see a deal, I have to pass it along:

Who says that the price of rose bouquets increase exponentially for Mother’s Day? ProFlowers is advertising a very reasonable $19.99 for 12 short-stemmed colorful roses that come in a glass vase. Shipping is additional, but a small price to pay for this convenience. If you live out of town and want to put a smile on Mom’s face – send these.

Everyone can use a break – and Bath and Body Works offers fun body lotions and cleaners for far less than upscale department store brands. So, go on. Experiment with the newest fragrances and treatments: click here for the $10 coupon (on $30 minimum purchase through May 9th, 2010).

Giveaways and $1 Deals At Staples This Week

admin — Sat, 09 Jan 2010 14:42:37 +0000

I’d be remiss if I didn’t bring this to your attention. I know I seem to be touting Staples a lot lately, but every week, that office-goods store seems to want to give away stuff. Last week, Staples gave away binders. This week, its envelopes, bankers boxes, manila folders and other “staples” for work or school. Plus, following in the footsteps of fast-food joints, Staples features a “dollar menu” – including mechanical pencils, notebooks, glue sticks and other must-haves.

You Don’t Need the Biggest Bucks to Shop at Peacock and Beale; Some Affordable Recommendations

admin — Tue, 22 Dec 2009 14:55:22 +0000

I know that the Peacock and Beale space used to be Button – but way, way, way back when I was a youngun, it was Outdoor Traders. Pre REI, Pre EMS, Outdoor Traders was THE place to go for all those, well, outdoor type endeavors. Now, ironically, the building holds purveyors of INDOOR goods; specifically the lux home goods shop Peacock and Beale. I recently popped in to discover that amongst the thousand plus dollar new and antique furniture and one-of-a-kind nick-nacks there are some nice seasonal gifts for under $20. I liked the cream-colored onyx tea-light votives that cast a mellow glow ($18) and the wonderful-smelling white pine sapplings – roots snuggled in a small burlap bag ready for transfer – to enjoy inside in winter and plant in the spring ($19.95).

Three Premium Cigars; $9.95 Includes Shipping and Handling

Now, the good folks who make Montecristo cigars (home-state CT wrapper and Dominican filler), are doing it again; giving away three Montecristo Classic cigars for just the $9.95 shipping and handling cost. To order, click here. Good until April 15, 2010.
