Need a Bead? Get Connected With a Golden Discount on Barrel Clasps

Findings, shredding, footings, mornings and other -ings on discount.

A STORE WITH CLASP: —a store that offers classes, findings, tools as well as beads—is selling a bag of 10 gold-plated magnetic barrel clasps for just $7.65, or 50 percent off the regular price. The connecting rings on the end are supposed to be solid, which means you run less of a risk of them opening and damaging the necklace you’ve been peering at for hours.

SHREDDING VULNERABILITY: April is little more than a month away, which means one of life’s sure things has come due: taxes. If you’re dealing with sensitive material you don’t intend to keep, is selling a 15-sheet cross-cut shredder for $119.99. After you apply a $50 rebate, the sale price is $69.99. Also on sale is a heavy-duty shredder for $69.99 great for old credit cards and CDs, which also comes with its own nifty $20 rebate.

PUTTING YOUR BEST PATRIOTIC FOOT FORWARD: has a new line named “Americana,” which features denim wedges, gingham ballet flats and espadrilles, just in time for spring. The stylish shoes are on sale for less than $20. Our favorite, the Megan Canvas High Wedge Sling, is composed of navy material against a tan wedge—a classic American addition to your spring wardrobe.
