Odds and Ends:

• $90 men’s bike. If you’re lucky enough to be within bike-riding distance to campus, Sears offers the Pacific Men’s 26″ Stratus Mountain Bike for $89.99 with $16.50 for shipping. (via DealNews)
• Boots from $12 a pair. Also, Sears is currently offering a selection of women’s boots for $11.99 a pair with shipping starting at $6.25. Check out the collection available here. The sizes are limited – I wear a size 5, so no shoezies for me – but some of the styles are actually quite workable. The boot styles vary from ankle boots, to mid-calf to knee-highs, so there’s a great, affordable selection to choose from. (via DealNews)

And for some reason, the last two entries made me think about this clip. Enjoy!
