Memory Foam Twin Mattress Under $200

admin — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 01:16:22 +0000

Your mother-in-law already snarls when she beholds your piles of clutter and coughs dryly when she eats your alfredo surprise casserole.� She’s not in love with you.� Just say it.� But instead of “getting her back” by providing her with a 30 year old excuse for a mattress on your guest bed, get her into a better mood by giving her a good night’s sleep when she visits.� I know, it sounds counter-intuitive, but it’s just good science.� The 9-inch Select-A-Firmness Twin-size Memory Foam Mattress is just 189.99 at Overstock.com right now.� You can grab it in any of the 3 firmness options: Soft, Medium or Firm.� And the fact that it’s just a twin means that she will be comfortable, but not “too” comfortable…if you know what I mean.� …and I think you do.

It’s rated 4.8 stars after over 50 reviews and at under $200 is a heck of a solution for any twin bed in your home.

Cheers!

And who needs a white house to live like the top executive?� Not this girl.� All I need is a sweet high-back office chair, maybe some stylish boots and a long dress coat that exude power and taste, and some red, white and blue jewelry.� God bless America.� And whaddayouknow?� Overstock is running sales on all of the above.� In fact, here’s the whole list of patriotic savings:

15% Off Outerwear

15% Off Select Boots

15% Off Select Accessories

10% Off Winter Sports

10% Off Luggage Sets

10% Off Office Chairs

5% Off Mattresses

5% Off Home Improvement

5% Off Worldstock

5% Off Furniture

As Overstock has noted on their site, this crazy Winter weather has affected delivery to some zip codes.� So, y’all bundle up and I’ll quit complaining every time it dips below 40 degrees in Texas…for now.

Thank you, Mr. Presidents.

Cheers!

Monday and Tuesday, Kohl’s is offering a great selection of Buy 1 Get 1 Free Tops and Bottoms for the Family.� The covered brands include: �SONOMA life + style, Croft & Barrow, Mudd, Jumping Beans and Urban Pipeline.� Shirts, pants, even jeans!� You don’t have to buy 2 identical items to get the Buy 1 Get 1 Free deal.� Just buy any items included in the sale and the lesser value items will be free at checkout.� In fact, it seems like Kohl’s is even being nice about which items they are marking as free.� It looks like they determine the most expensive item, charge us for that item and then give the next most expensive item free.� So imagine that you load up your shopping cart with 10 items covered under the sale and then you lined them up from most expensive to least expensive…Kohl’s charges you for every other item, not just the 5 most expensive items.� Clear as mud?� Yes, my illustrations are magical like that.�� Anyway, the bottom line is that there’s a lot savings going on.� Just trust me.
