I was buying some stuff tonight at roadrunnersports.com (new socks, compression top for a base layer this winter, etc.) and it occurred to me to do a websearch for "roadrunnersports.com discount code" and sure enough I found one for 15% off my entire purchase, which already had free shipping! Woot!
It was at http://www.ableshoppers.com/coupons.shtml
I had to type in a couple listed before I found one that worked.
But I'll try the same thing with other online stores in the future, definitely!

Running tops with pockets
I'm finding it difficult to find running race shirts that I like that include pockets, since now I want to minimize and don't want to carry my stuff in a race belt.
My criteria are these:
1) POCKETS. Preferably more than one.
2) Good shoulder coverage (not a shimmel or tank top, no built-in bra).
3) Excellent wicking fabric
4) Medium colors (I don't like when whites/pastels turn transparent).
5) Bonus: hip-length shirttail cut with a little looseness (no midriff-baring or tight tri-tops). Cut for women, not tight around my hips/under my stomach.
I have one or two sleeveless cycling jerseys that are almost right, but they're a little hot to run in and not cut right (the armholes chafe). Tri-jerseys made for swimming often don't seem to work well for me. The running products that I've found that fit the description seem to be quite expensive (over $40 for a shirt).
Who has some product recommendations/links for me? I can't find exactly what I want on www.roadrunnersports.com (although these 3 are close, I either don't like the colors or price) or www.trisports.com or www.rei.com. I did, however, just order these two from Performance Bikes - but I won't know if the fabric or cut is right until I try them out, and they probably will fail criterion #5. I'm sure they'll be okay for cycling, but running is another question.
Update! Thanks for the recommendations and links, folks! I tried looking up them all. I finally ordered this one in blue from Title Nine - less coverage than I would like, but it has two back pockets and at least it's not pastel aqua or lavender.

New gear
No, no new bike stuff. (Although my most recent bike purchases did arrive and they look awesome).
I just received a stainless steel butter dish that I bought on eBay.
So a debacle like this should never happen in our household again. I'm sure you're all relieved to hear of this.
At least we won't repeat that particular debacle. We'll just have other kinds of debacles.
In other shopping news (don't you all hold your breath for my shopping posts?), on March 6th I ordered an Amgen Tour of California Microfiber Jacket because I had a discount code and it sounded pretty cheap indeed, $19 with shipping. I thought it might have been mismarked, but that's their problem, right? Just TODAY (yes, that would be 16 whole days later) they emailed me to tell me it was supposedly out of stock. I'll bet it was. Just can't get good service anywhere these days, can you?
