Deal of the Week

This was an easy one:

Free Starbucks! You can only print once, so I set my printer to print 2 out - one for me and one for my husband. According to the fine print, you do not have to be a B&N member to qualify for the free coffee, so I feel comfortable sharing. This will be our fun date night this week! Or it might be a family outing - one way or another, we'll use this one!

Free drink

Menu Plan Monday

Well, traveling for work - so not much point in Menu Planning . . . I stocked up on food my husband can easily fix, so they are on their own . . .

Free Giftcards!

Have you ever tried any of the search sites that award stuff? I've done a few of them, and my current favorite is Swagbucks:

"Get rewarded for searching the web with SWAG BUCKS! You'll never need another search engine!"
Swagbucks

It's very easy to use and I use it multiple times a day - anytime I want to do a search, I open Swagbucks and use it instead of google, etc. It works great and I often get awarded "swagbucks". Once you've accumulated enough of them, you can trade them in for gift certificates - I'm almost up to a $5 Starbucks card after just a few weeks. Fun, easy and free!

I've also used Blingo and been very happy with it - if you are lucky and win, the person you signed up under wins also. Between my own wins and others I've won several movie tickets and several $5 gift certificates to Amazon.

Give these a try - if you start now I bet you can get a giftcard or two for free by Christmas!!!

We have a winner!!!

Thanks to everyone who entered - these giveaways are fun and I'll definitely do more in the future. I spent some time tonight after drawing the winner and checked out all the blogs of the participants and there are some interesting, talented people out there - you should be proud!!!

I'm traveling this week and quite busy with work, but I remembered to pick the winner - in fact, I'm in a hotel room, so the ice bucket got the coveted job of holding the names!

80% off Restaurants!!!

This deal is now over - but you can still purchase certificates - just not at 80% off. Hope some were lucky enough to get in!

Wow! Restaurant.com is offering 80% off until the end of today - great deal! This means you can pick up a $25 certificate for only $2!!!! Use the code: EIGHTY when you check out - I see a few inexpensive date nights in my future!

Restaurant.com

I just went to the site and purchased four certificates ($10 value each) for a total of $2.60. One was for my hometown (a restaurant we like to go to) and the other three were for various cities I know we'll be traveling to in the next few months. So, if you have a trip planned, you might want to search that location also - think ahead and you'll save quite a bit.

Deal of the Week!

Once again, two great deals this week!

Target - more free produce this week!

Baby carrots are on sale for $.99 - $1.09 a bag. Use the coupon at A full cup coupon_generator for $1.00 off a bag and get free or almost free carrots! I plan on buying a few extras to shred and freeze for winter baking.

Walgreen's

Buy 3 Children's Robitussin at $3.99 each. Use 3 of the $2 off coupons at Robitussin.com

If you have any register rewards left over from last week's deal, this is a great time to use them. You'll get a $10 Register Reward after this transaction!
