  Yeah, I was thinking that should cost about $12 before any discount.

   The stacking rings are a great deal. I bought the St Adele set as an early bday present for myself. I agree- the rest of the deals arent’ so great.

   Thanks Collin & TODAY SHOW!! I was able to snag 2 pair of glasses for my girls for just $35.01 shipped!! Not to shabby for a high-end brand such as Lacoste! 🙂

   That eyeglass website was really busy for a while, I couldn’t access anything until about 10 minutes ago. Snagged a $150 pair of glasses for $10 and free shipping. Very cool. Thanks!

    Misleading information about the glasses. They charge you $20 for basic coatings (anti glare, anti scratch, uv) which should be included in any lens, making the total price of the $10 glasses actually $30. Still a good price, but 3x as much as advertised.

    You have these deals posted but then the links are all busted. Tried to view the coastal glasses deal only to get page not found on all the links. Can’t even click on the contact us link, get page not found too.

  Hi phxmom! Thanks for the comment. The Coastal website is loading, but very slowly. We’re working with their website contacts now. Check back in a few hours and all should be fixed!

    Anon: the info Collin gives is not misleading at all. She notes that coatings and special lenses are considered upgrades.

    phxmom: Coastal crashed a few minutes ago, I was just able to order though. The links aren’t busted, this is what always happens w/today show deals. A ridiculous number of people rush to get the “deals” and they crash servers every time. Even Hip 2 Save appears to be running slow as molasses this AM. You have to keep checking back, it gets better after 11 usually!

  Hi Tara — thanks for chiming in! We appreciate it, and you’re correct — coatings and special lenses are upgrades.

  These are offers brought to you by TODAY and Jill Martin.

  Looks like Coastal’s website is back up and working.

    Wow, $91 for a *water bottle*? If I’m going to spend more than $15 on a *water bottle* it had better be made of solid gold and generate its own water out of the air. That’s insane. I can get a personalized water bottle from L.L. Bean for like $15 shipped. Just….wow.

    None of these really seem like “deals” to me.. especially some of the shipping costs. $13 to ship rings? That’s outrageous. Looks like the Today show is getting some publicity, although I wouldn’t consider it good…

    Hate to be Debbie Downer, but I never thought Jill’s deals were ever worth grabbing. The “retail prices” are plain ridiculous and not even believable. Hopefully this new partnership will lead to better steals! 😀

  A few months back I ordered 2 cashmere sweaters & 1 Maxine Couture purse & 3 MC wallets, it was the first time I had ordered off the site. I was hesitate with the no refunds policy, which was repeated over & over but so pleased when I received them. The leather purse & wallets, some of which will be gifts & the sweaters are simply incredible. I love high ticket items but don’t like the $ so this site fits me well. I think as with any site there are some items that are better buys than others. I would not be interested in the high end water bottle either but would love high end sunglasses, if they ever had those 🙂 Susan sorry you had such an unpleasant experience.

    I ordered the comforter set recently from S.L. Home fashions. It is really a cheap comforter and has a horrible smell from cheap fabric. The receipt says no returns on comforters ordered through Jills Steals and Deals, but I can assure you that I will never use this. Does the Today show stand behind any of these products?
