Making the most of the Express & Lands’ End Canvas Sales

Express:  $30 off $75 w/ 1206 | L.E.C.:  Free shipping w/ SSCANVAS & Pin 1202

Not all sales are equal, and while these two sales are so-so at first glance, if you play em’ right you can get away with a few steals.  Express is running a $30 off $75 sale with the code 1206, but also know that if you don’t want to blow $75, it’ll also knock $15 off any purchase more than $30.  Not bad.

For Lands’ End Canvas, their website is touting free shipping with a $100 purchase, BUT… if you use the code SSCANVAS and pin 1202, that’ll get you free shipping with zero minimum.  That’s a $5.95 savings if you want something small.  Let’s see what we can squeeze out of these codes:
.

Two Express 1MX Fitted Shirts – $49.80 (reg. $119.80)

At first I thought I was doing the math wrong.  Express does allow you to double up on offers, and they’re currently running a buy one 1mx at full price, and get a second for $19.90.  That adds up to $79.80.  Or, $4,80 over the $30 off threshold.  Express NEVER does that.  it almost always works out to being just under.  Not just over.  If you use the coupon code on just one shirt, you’ll get $15 off the full price and it lands at $44.90.  So in essence, you’re getting a second 1mx for $4.90.  Well, uh… sure then.

Lands’ End Canvas Gingham Pocket Square – $6.99 (reg. $9.50 plus shipping)

Ready to start wearing laid back pocket squares?  Sure you are.  Say you got a black, lightly structure, cotton blazer.  Something like this one from the GAP.  But you’re thinking it might look too dark on spring and summer evenings.  Throw a gingham pocket square in breast pocket, keep the rest of your getup light, and you’re set.  Seven bucks.  Shipped.  Criminey, shipping is usually six.
.

Express Large Duffel Bag – $49.90 (reg. $79.90)

DAMN it Express.  Must you logo everything?  Maybe you can use a razor blade to remove it.  Maybe you can sew something else over it.  But the one review is encouraging, saying that it’s much larger than expected.

L.E.C. Purple/Black Tie – $14.99, Large Check Scarf – $8.99,  Navy Gingham Tie – $15.99

I’ve had my eye on that purple and black knit rugby stripe tie for awhile now.  For the scarf, I’m not on board the accessory scarf for men train, but with a steady hand, a sharp pair of scissors, and a careful fold and starched ironing job?  That’s at least three big check pocket squares there.  And the gingham tie is all warm weather.

Just a few idea starters for your Friday.  The Express $30 off $75 and $15 off $30 sale with code 1206 ends 3/27.  The free shipping with code SSCANVAS and pin 1202 doesn’t end until April 5th.  Nice.  Thanks LEC.
