Walgreen's Hershey's Candy Promotion Not So Great

Today I stopped at Walgreen's to buy some deodorant. By the way, I hate paying drug store prices for items like this. You always get a better deal at Target or Walmart. But anyway, as I bought my deodorant, the cashier said there was a Hershey's promotion. He said if you buy a candy bar, you get a prize. He said everyone gets a prize, and it could be up to $500. So I said I'd buy the candy bar. As it turns out, my 'prize' was a 25-cent coupon. In fact, my receipt from the Hershey's promotion said 'Sorry, you have not won a prize.' I felt scammed.

Free Starbucks Ice Cream on Facebook

Love Starbucks ice cream? Or maybe you haven't tried it yet? I received some great $2.00 off coupons in the mail because I am a Starbucks Gold Card holder. This deal is even better though. You can order free Starbucks ice cream for your friends and family (and hopefully they'll return the favor) through Facebook. [END OF POST] Click Here to Read More..

Retailer Offers Discount to the Unemployed

Well now here is a good way for a retailer to operate during a recession. Kmart in Michigan is offering unemployed shoppers a 20% discount on certain items. What a win-win, as a customer will feel grateful for the discount, and Kmart will be their shopping source. I would love to see more stores doing something like this.

Phoenomenal Deal at Maggiano's Restaurant

I cannot believe the deal I got at Maggiano's. The Italian restaurant is upscale and moderately expensive, but the portion sizes are enormous. I received a coupon with my Mastercard statement, offering $20 off a $50 purchase if I paid with my Mastercard. In addition, the restaurant had a deal where if you bought a specific pasta entree, they would give you another pasta entree free to take home and eat the next day. What a fabulous idea! My husband and I bought two pastas and had plenty leftover, plus received 2 more full orders of pasta to go. We had rigatoni, lasagna, cheese ravioli and gnocchi. It was all delicious. I froze some of the food for a few days so it wouldn't spoil. I swear I have been eating from this $30 meal for a week. Cheap food that is of high quality always makes me smile.
