Free books at Borders.com
I wanted to post about this yesterday, but the day was hectic and I didn't find time.
I found out about this deal at Money Saving Mom (thanks Crystal!) and it turns out it's an even better deal than I originally thought by reading Crystal's post.
When you use the code BR41925 at Borders.com, it takes $5 off of the price of EACH regularly priced book in your cart. If you choose to have the items shipped to your local store for you to pick up, then there is no charge for shipping.
I loaded my cart with 20 childrens books that were priced under $5, and it took the price of all of them off, making my total $0. I couldn't complete my checkout with my total at $0, so I added one more book that was priced at $6.95. It took $5 off off of that book as well, making my total $1.95 for 21 books. With a total above $1 (I tried with a total of $0.99 and it did not work), I was able to complete my order and got a confirmation email.
The site seems to be a bit bogged down (no doubt because there are so many people there shppping for this deal), so if you get an error message (or two or three), just hit the back button and try again. It worked yesterday for me and my sister, and this morning for my mom, so it will work for you if you give it some time. :)
More free gifts for my girls for Christmas. I love this kind of shopping!

unfortunately the deal has already expired...I just tried it.
I was able to order a video this morning, but now that I am trying to purchase so many books, it continues to say..."sorry we can not process your order at this time." Wonder if they have changed this due to the large unexpected volume.
Did you have to pay shipping?
i am sooo bummed! i loaded up on christmas gifts too but i get a different error message every time i try to process the order. sometimes it even says it doesn't accept visa!!
No, the deal is still good. I just used the code and it worked very smoothly. Thank you so much for sharing this.
I think the trick is to typing in the coupon code. It wouldn't work for me when I cut and pasted it.
This deal drove me NUTS! The site is slow, and I tried and tried...finally got it, checked out, then borders emailed and said it was canceled...UGH! Oh well! For those that got it- good for you!! :)
FYI I did this on the 26th and they are actually shipping my books. My sister tried as well and they cancelled her order. The code is still working but you evidently have to order only a few (10 or less) and have it shipped to the store.
It keeps telling me when I try it more than once: "Oops! Our records show that you've already used this promotion, therefore we are unable to apply it to your order." so i'm still trying...
