Pottery Barn Free Shipping (And, Target, and Amazon...)

Believe it or not, each of those are categories of Free Shipping!

A year ago I did a quick post about Pottery Barn's Free Shipping and it remains one of our most popular posts. Let's expand that to Amazon, too! It's not a secret - it's a technique.

After each major holiday I head to my favorite sites, Pottery Barn, the super fantastic wonderful world of Etsy, Target, etc. and I search "Free Shipping" in quotes. Yep, that's it. I find all sorts of clearance items and with free shipping, heck they're practically free.

Are you a fan of Amazon?
Do you use their Super Saver Shipping to it's fullest?

Simply put in your search term, Retro Clock, or what have you, and then to your left, click on the Super Saver Shipping filter. I search from those to see if anything jumps out, then I take the filter off to see if there is something I would like more - even if I *had* to pay shipping.

Do you get frustrated with Super Saving Shipping because you find you are always 61 cents (or some stupid number of pennies) away from getting Super Saver Shipping on Amazon?

Wish you could just PAY the stupid 61 cents and get the shipping rather than trying to find an item to bring your total up?

Don't fret!
Use the Amazon Filler Item Finder!
Just plug the amount you are looking for - in our case 61 cents - and Poof!

I don't have to know what a Precision Twist Parabolic Drill is or what Grade 5 Zinc Plated Carriage Bolts are. (I'll just toss whatever it is in the Hubby's toolbox.) I just want the free shipping!

Pottery Barn Free Shipping - Discount Tips Love Retro Spoon and Fork Wall Art!

Love the giant silver fork and spoon!
And, they are currently on sale at Pier One.
Yet, at $59.99 *each*...
I don't think I'll be buying them anytime soon.

I did put them in my "Buy it On Sale" folder.
Do you have one of those?

My "Buy It On Sale" folder reminds me to head back to websites and hit clearance and After-Season sales to buy items on huge discount. And, I just love Pottery Barn - Free Shipping. Yep, PB frequently offers free shipping on new, sale and clearance items.

Did you know that you can search "Free Shipping" on their site to get a handy list? Yep! After Christmas I made off with a handful of items on Pottery Barn clearance with free shipping.

Sigh. I just adore that giant silverware.
They remind me of the 1970's retro pieces.
Remember these hanging on your aunt's wall?

(If you love this set, it's currently available on E-bay.)

While the wooden Tiki ones are nice, I'll wait patiently on the silver spoon and fork. I'm hoping that Pier One will have them left over at the end of their run. If I can buy them for...oh, let's say $8-10 each, I might bite. Otherwise, I'll just set up an Advanced E-Bay search with a 6 month e-mail reminder so it sends me hits automagically.

*Fingers-crossed.*
I'd really like a set of those on my kitchen walls.
Leave me a pair, will ya?

So, tell us...
