Divine Deals: Lots of options

Good day, and happy Friday! What a happy Friday, indeed. Not only am I typing hardly able to contain myself because my gorgeous, sweet little daughter is turning one tomorrow (!) but there's so many deals around town that I just want to start shopping. Eek, don't tell the hubs!

Here's a few deals that you should know about:

APPAREL
For those that live near a Nordstrom Rack, get excited: spend just $25 for $50 worth of shoes, apparel and more at this totally fabulous designer discount store. The deal is available for purchase through Groupon until Monday, and you can use the gift certificate until Dec. 31. Perfect for holiday shopping (for you or someone else; don't worry, we don't judge!).

Another Groupon perk? They've extended another national deal where you can get a $50 gift certificate to American Apparel for just $25. Perfect spot for basics (think layering pieces) and I hear their thigh-high socks are out-of-this world. Wear under high boots, with short skirts or for a lazy night on the couch. The Groupon certificate expires Feb. 19, 2011.

SHOES

One of my favorite online discount shoe retailers, 6pm.com has some swoon-worthy sales this weekend. Boutique 9 is up to 75 percent off. There's adorable flats as low as $30 and check out these heels for just under $60? Tell me you wouldn't get a million compliments on these puppies and wear them for years? Great purchase, I'm kind of obsessed.

6pm also has boots Under $50 and Under $100, depending on your price point. Shop early for the widest selection of sizes and styles.

EAT
If you don't buy restaurant gift certificates online for yourself, you're missing the boat. I'm frequently eating at my favorite restaurants for 50-80 percent less than the peeps sitting next to me. Many cities have local options -- for example, I'm always taking advantage of South Florida Dines (use promo code FOOD for an extra 20 percent off this weekend!) -- but Restaurant.com is one of the best options for a discounts at restaurants around the country. Right now, get certificates for hot spots in your area for  80 percent off, just use GOBBLE at checkout. Yes, that's $2 for a $25 gift certificate!!!!

OK... last but not least, just check out your favorite store, and visit our holiday shopping tips for more ways to save.

Why spend full price when you get exactly what you want for less?! -- the average gal. xo
