Under Armour Men's Micro G Kilchis Camo ShoesStore: Under Armour
Price: $35
Shipping: Free shipping w/ $50
Lowest By: $33
Expiration: January 15
The price of the Under Armour Men's Micro G Kilchis Camo Shoes can't quite be described as micro, despite being what experts have called "deliciously dealy". As for the shoes themselves, they also presumably don't fall under the descriptor of micro otherwise the listed sizes would be distinctly out of whack. Nay, it turns out the Micro G® foam midsole shoulders all the blame for this confusion although just what Micro G® is and why it warrants some form of registered trademark remains unclear. Meanwhile, what is crystal clear is that applying coupon codes "EXTRA40" and "UA15" will let you beat Amazon's price for these shoes by $33.
Holiday Clearance at Macy'sStore: Macy's
Discount: Up to 75% off
Shipping: Pickup, or free shipping w/ $25 for members
The unspoken tyranny of Christmas is to have made having a brightly lit tree in your living room a faux pas outside of the holiday season. But without Christmas, a tree is just a tree, and an underrated decor choice in the modern living room. And so this is actually a perfect early January sale: flaunt your brazen shopping in the face of the just-past holidays as you stuff a newly holiday-agnostic tree in your cart and relish your savings.
Alternatively: early savings for next Christmas. Whatever you like.
Clear the Rack Designer Deals at Nordstrom RackStore: Nordstrom Rack
Discount: Up to 88% off
Shipping: $9.95 s&h, or free shipping w/ $89
Racks are clearing, reader. Can you afford not to be among the clearers of racks? The shoppers are celebrating the store's 52nd year, which is significant for reasons too arcane to elaborate upon here. Mostly, the significance is this: I just looked up when the first Nordstrom Rack opened — but, there's something to be said for looking at the numbers. 508 items are discounted at time of writing, which works out at just about 10 per year of operation. And $10 is how much shipping costs unless you spend $89 or more. And 89 minus our original 52 is 37, which is the year of my life I'm currently wasting writing this nonsense. Makes you think.
Microsoft Xbox Elite Series 2 Core Wireless ControllerStore: Amazon
Price: $98
Shipping: Free shipping
Lowest By: $32
Compared to the Steel Battalion controller experience, this Microsoft Xbox Elite Series 2 Core Wireless Controller does seem a bit limited but what wouldn't? Instead of focusing on what isn't, focus on what is. Namely, the best price we've seen yet for this games interacting doohickey.
Old Navy Clearance DealsStore: Old Navy
Price: From $1
Shipping: $5 s&h, or free shipping w/ $50 for members
You'll have to find your way to the clearance section on your own steam, but once there, you'll find prices starting from just one US dollar, so it's probably worth the extra effort. (It's not that much extra effort, but every click counts in today's economy.) There are thousands of discounts — far too many for you to browse comfortably. Calm your mind with these low-price novelty polar bear socks.
Hikolayae Spinner Luggage with Case 2-Bag SetStore: Home Depot
Price: $24 via code "DECOREXTRA10"
Shipping: Free shipping
Lowest By: $17
Expiration: January 27
The worst part about travel is the bit where you have to go places. Being in other places: good. The process of making that reality: bad. But it can be made relatively less bad by ensuring you have new luggage at a great price. Coupon code "DECOREXTRA10" helps you on your way. And much like my midsection, it's made of 100% ABS material. Unlike my midsection, it has a hard exterior.
