Gilt Has a HOT 30% OFF New Customer Offer!

Today, when you sign up (FREE) at Gilt and make your first purchase, you’ll get 30% OFF  your first order.  Do note that the 30% OFF discount credit is only offered for new accounts, and you’ll need to use promo code MY30 at checkout to get today’s extra discount.

Our favorite Gilt bargain discovery is their Cuisinart 14-cup, large capacity food processor deal which you can get for $139.30 after the 30% OFF promotion. I have this model and love, love, LOVE it (and wish this deal was around when I bought mine ~ oh well)!  I have seen the smaller 11-cup model at Costco with an extra bowl for $250 and Amazon.com currently has this model priced at $249.   All that to say, if you need a new food processor (or know someone who does), jump on this today.  You can find this deal by signing in first, here and then going here.

::

Here are a few other fun things that caught our attention in  Gilt’s discount boutiques (prices shown are before the 30% OFF).

::  An entire boutique dedicated to on trend white watches for men and women ~ in a wide range of prices, all nicely discounted (plus take 30% Off with Promo).

::  Fun learning toys from Battat, starting at $15 (plus take 30% Off with Promo).

This is barely scratching the surface of all Gilt has to offer ~ you’ll want to check out their boutiques for yourself which include designer clothes, home accessories, baby clothes, travel deals and lots more.

::

Membership to Gilt is FREE, but you have to be invited to join (and you are officially invited by Frugal in Fort Worth!). Pop over to their website here to join.

And, if you use this link, you’ll get another 30% OFF all regularly priced VistaPrint products site-wide!

Here are the easy steps for getting this offer:

  1. Go here to sign up for today’s 75% OFF VistaPrint deal.
  2. Select Fort Worth as Your Groupon City. If the deal doesn’t show up on the front page, go to the “Groupon’s Favorite Deals” link (on the right hand side of the page) and navigate to the offer.
  3. Buy your Groupon before the end of the day, Wednesday.
    You do have until September 26, 2012 to use your Groupon. Since there is a limited quantity of these certificates available, I would recommend not waiting too long to make your purchase.
  4. That’s it! Easy-breezy, right?

Know someone who needs a new iPhone, iPad, or MacBook cover?  Today, we have an exclusive deal for our Frugal in Fort Worth friends ~ Go here to get a coupon for 20% OFF your entire order at Incase’s online store.  Hurry, as this is only valid through the end of the day, Tuesday, June 19. 

By the way, we did a little comparison shopping (as always), and this coupon will save you 20% off the price of the same Incase items sold in the Apple Store.  Love that! :)

——————–

Not familiar with Incase?  Their product line and online store include a stylish collection of iPhone, iPad, iPod, and MacBook covers that will protect your technology and enhance their portability.  They also have a smartly designed line of camera cases, backpacks, and totes for lugging your gear.   The Apple Store carries quite a bit of the Incase product line, both online and in their retail stores (and you can read customer product reviews there).

Here’s a snapshot of some of our favorites:

:: Cases for iPad 3rd Gen and iPad 2 with built-in magnetic cover that wakes and sleeps your iPad, plus 4 viewing/typing angles. 

:: iPhone cases with the distinctive look of hand-hammered metal.

:: Stylish totes, backpacks, and cases to carry everything from your computer to your camera gear.

Go here to get the 20% OFF Incase coupon (Be sure to use it online before the end of the day, Tuesday, June 19, 2012).

Go here to visit the InCase Online store.
