free shipping

I can't believe how many cute items are for sale at JCPenney right now. And to make the deal even sweeter, through March 16 you can get free shipping on your order. Just enter the code TULIP as you checkout online, and you'll be eligible for free shipping.

Here are some items, already on sale, that I wouldn't mind adding to my casa.

I know how you're feeling right now: stressed, confused, and panicked. Stressed because you know you haven't finished your holiday shopping, confused as to what to get, and panicked because Christmas is a short little week away.

Not to freak you out even further, but if you are ordering gifts online, in most cases, today is the last day to ship your gifts in order to get them wrapped and under the tree by Christmas. But there is some good news to all this worry — a lot of times, you'll find that standard shipping is free!

Where do you find such wonderful deals? I'll tell you about them, and about some other sweet procrastination-friendly savings when you read more

Hopefully my Bargain Buys are making the beginning of a holiday gift-buying season during a recession a little easier to swallow.

On that same note, you should definitely bookmark Free Shipping, a website that provides you with what looks like every free shipping deal for stores on the Internet.

The site is easily navigable, so just make sure to check it every time you add something to your cart this holiday season! And for more holiday tips, check out HolidaySugar.

Have you been lusting after some modern furniture, but just couldn't justify the cost? Then maybe the Design Within Reach Semiannual Sale will help to change your mind. You can shop the sale from now until Oct. 14, but if I were you, I'd shop sooner than later, since there's also free standard shipping through Oct. 6. So head over to DWR to save hundreds of dollars on literally thousands of items. Here are a few items from the sale that I wouldn't mind taking home:

There are a couple of online sales I wanted to alert you all to just in case you are in the market for a good deal. They accommodate different size pocket books, and they both are worthy of attention.

I am going to start with semi couture fitness wear. Stella McCartney's winter line for Adidas is on sale!!!! I really like this super stylish base layer with wicking properties. Check out the Adidas site for more clothes.

Amazon is making its way into one of our favorite territories: shoes and handbags! Welcome Amazon! They just launched Endless.com, a separate online shop that sells women's shoes and handbags as well as men's and kids' shoes. And the best part? They offer free overnight shipping and free returns. Yeah, I couldn't believe it either but it appears to be true: you just have to order before 7:30PM EST. I'm really curious about this promise and am tempted to buy something just to test it!

The site is very easy to navigate, with a sub-menu on the left that helps you narrow your search. You can narrow your search by color, brand, size, category, price and width - they have everything covered. The designers are a bit limited - no super hot designers - but there are more affordable ones, and they are adding more. For shoes, I noticed Delman, BCBG, Kenneth Cole, Jessica Simpson, Oh Deer! and Tyler by Richard Tyler. While they don't carry high-end designers, this is a great destination to buy basics. You can also select specific designers and search them all as a group. I know I'm going to peruse this site this weekend; come back and tell me what you all think! Here are my picks:

Tyler by Richard Tyler Women's Rumba Open Toe Patent Pump, on sale for $59.89 (originally $124.95).

Hype Florian Medium Hobo, $175.
