Shopping in Campbell

Renouncing the modern world and its modern technology, such as toasters and toasters that dispense ice cubes, is dangerous unless you've got the proper tools to survive in the wild. Today's Groupon gets you $50 worth of outdoor gear and apparel from Trailsloggers for $25. You can also combine two Groupons for $100 worth of outdoor couture for $50. Transform yourself from a couchslagging modernite to a tamer of the great outdoors.

Once you've invented a bicycle, fix and maintain it with today's Groupon: $40 for $85 worth of cycling products and services from Silicon Valley Cycling Center. Pedal into the Campbell shop for vital riding accessories, new parts, tune-ups, and Hemi engines for your ride. Today's Groupon gives you the option to combine two Groupons during a single visit.

Much like the ant farm you shake up once a day, your home is subject to cruel entropy at the hands of time. Fight back against the forces that would dare crack your walls and soot your stoves with today's Groupon: $20 worth of products and services at Los Gatos Ace Hardware for $10.

With a full stock of hypoallergenic rose petals and nut-free dark chocolates, your allergy-free romantic night only lacks wardrobe. The European ambience at Dutchess Intimates Boutique inspires keen-eyed shoppers to cruise through the subtly flowing satins and lace, taking in the lush textures and form-flattering designs. The boutique dresses its hangers and mannequins in the lingerie stylings of Betsey Johnson, Blush, Calvin Klein, Lunaire, Mary Green, and many others, carrying bras sized from a 34A to 40DD (average price around $40) and lingerie from small to 2XL (average price around $65). While most ladies know whether they prefer a babydoll or a widowmaker, generous male partners or severely misguided mama's boys can follow these lingerie-hunting tips to make the selection process less discombobulating.

With spring spreading like a bag of spilled gravy, now is the ideal time to throw open the windows and get home-care projects underway. Pick up a Stanley six-piece screwdriver set for $6.99, a VPT rip hammer for $8.49, and a whole bunch of screws, anchors, and bolts (prices vary), and you'll be ready to finally mount every buffalo nickel and steel penny in your coin collection. Illuminate the newfound décor with a 12-pack of Ace light bulbs ($21.48), the better to see by as you make use of a Purdy four-piece premium paint-tray kit ($19.99). If you need to match paint to a favorite coverlet or choose a hue that complements a pleather recliner, each store offers a paint-matching service free of charge. Get keys made for $1.99 a pop, or clean a barnacle-encrusted carpet with the help of a carpet-cleaning machine ($30 a day to rent).

Since 1989, Play It Again Sports has been keeping sports green, recycling gently used athletic equipment into new-to-you gear. Products from brands such as Nike, Adidas, and Wilson make up each store's enormous selection of new and recycled gear, which is replenished daily with goods for a wide selection of sports that ranges from baseball and football to snowboarding, skis, and ice skates. Treadmills and exercise bikes equip bodies with muscular suits of armor, and pintsize and adolescent equipment arms youngsters with protective padding until they eat enough bologna to grow muscles of their own. Knowledgeable staffers man each location, ready to answer questions, arrange gear deliveries or pick-ups, and even sharpen skates or wax snowboards. To ensure their stock remains robust, they also encourage athletes to collect their lightly used gear—including bicycles—and bring it into a local store to either sell or trade.
