Free Shipping at Half-Off Depot.com

admin | August 31, 2009

I’ll admit it: I love HalfOffDepot.com. The Atlanta site is one of my favorites for half-off certificates in the city. 50% off attractions? Check. Awesome restaurants? Check. Plastic gift cards? Check (sometimes). Spas? Check. Freebies with certificate purchase? Check (often). And the list goes on & on.
The Half-Off Depot network of sites is expanding across [...]

Groupon Alert: Free Six-Week Trial for Blockbuster by Mail

admin | August 31, 2009

Today’s Groupon is a good deal if you’ve been considering trying one of the Blockbuster by Mail packages: you can get a free six-week trial (it’s the two DVDs out at a time + 5 free in-store exchanges plan). Not bad, given that Blockbuster only offers its new customers a free two-week trial. The downside? [...]

Free Family Fun Fest Minor League Baseball Tour—Sept. ‘09 Lineup

admin | August 31, 2009

On my short list of favorite childhood memories are trips downtown to watch the (then) Richmond Braves play ball. Everything about the experience was fabulous, from our ability to interact with the players to ticket prices that even my mom could afford. Even better were the days that pregame time had a bit of [...]

REI Labor Day Sale & Clearance

admin | August 28, 2009

Dear REI: Thank you for timing this sale to my needs. You must have seen my sweat-stained & saggy workout clothes and threadbare Life is Good shirts. It’s time for an update.
During the sale, which runs through Labor Day, you’ll find a lot of must-have gear marked down up to 30% at REI. And in [...]

Panda Express: Free Entree with Purchase of a Two-Entree Plate

admin | August 28, 2009

I suspect I’d have enough food for myself & my kids if I cash in on this deal, and since we do go out for Asian food when my husband isn’t going to be home for dinner (he’s not a fan of the cuisine), I’ll probably take advantage of it:
Through September 30, 2009, you can [...]

Red Lobster: Endless Shrimp is Back

admin | August 27, 2009

I want to take advantage of this deal so badly I can taste it. Hope it’s still in effect in mid-September…I have to get my cholesterol checked then, and I don’t want to throw off my numbers by loading up on shrimp before I go.
Red Lobster’s Endless Shrimp promo is back for a limited time. [...]

Whole Foods: Free Rotisserie Chicken and Free Fiesta Bouquet (TN, GA, AL, SC, & NC only)

admin | August 27, 2009

UPDATE: When I posted this, the coupons specifically stated September 15. In fact, I recall thinking that I’d misread one, and I went back & double checked the date. There wasn’t a year (that was, in fact, my addition), but otherwise, it was Sept. 15. Unfortunately, I didn’t print out my copy, but The Thrifty [...]
