Why I always do free sample deals..

This offer for free trial sizes of Aquafresh (click on free sample, it will let you print a coupon - you don't even have to wait for the mail on this one!) comes just as I am watching our houseguests make full use of the basket of trial sizes and samples I have left in the guest room for them. I always take advantage of trial size offers I find one the web, and samples I get sent - I save them in a bag in the linen closet marked "guests" and then when we have visitors I put a big basket with soaps, shampoos, toothpastes, styling products, perfume sample vials, along with toothbrushes, ear plugs (some guests aren't so used to our busy city location), qtips and cotton balls, and a carafe of water with glasses in their room so they have what they might need... I know that some readers see posts about sample sizes and think "why does she bother with a tiny toothpaste?" - but all of those things I collect throughout the year are the perfect way to make my guests feel like I went that extra mile to welcome them, without spending a dime.

You won't hear me say this again but..

Tonight's Film on the Rocks might actually be a good one.. Don't get me wrong, I love the idea of gathering folks on a week night to watch a movie, listen to some local music, and enjoy Red Rocks.
But I don't think it is worth 10 bucks a ticket - sorry. 10 bucks a ticket for an older movie and a view I can get for free when the park isn't hosting an event? Nope, not for this bargin hunter. I will stick with the free movies in the parks around town... Oh, and $10.00 is the price for advanced sale - buy at the box office when you get there and you will pay $12.00.
However, tonight is the Princess Bride. Granted, it was just featured at a local park a few weeks ago, but it would be fun to see it up there, I think. It might be fun to get a group together and head up, but isn't exactly a cheap activity for a family.. and if you haven't done it once, this would be a good one to go to so you can do the "been there, done that" look when others mention it. ;)

Here is the website if you want to check out details and future features.. Maybe I will just turn the Aquos towards the patio , pop in my Princess Bride DVD, and sit out enjoying the stars and a couple of pulls of the Red Truck Mini Barrel, comfy in the knowledge that I don't feel like I just got jacked by the Dread Pirate Roberts for the whole experience...

Sometimes you just have to get out of the house!!

Sure, there is plenty of free fun for the taking around this fabulous town, and some nights nothing beats kicking off your shoes, putting the dog on your lap and watching a little TV.

BUT - some nights nothing short of happy hour, I mean BEYOND my "happy hour at home" nights with 'tinis and snacks on the Treehouse patio, I mean out and about, ventin' to friends, watching the guy next to you on the table with his tie around his head screaming "MORE NACHOS! THE BOSS SUCKS!" kind of happy hour..

So what is a frugal girl to do? Denver actually has lots of great Happy Hour deals (remember my Blue Bonnet post? Wowza, that is a screamin' deal!).. the latest I have learned about will find me and some of the most fabulous women you could ever hope to have as friends sipping $1.00 Belinis (yes - $1.00!) at 5 degrees in Larimer Square this evening.. (or apres work, as the menu says.. nice..)
They also have a 4 dollar appy menu that actually gets even cheaper if you pick a few selections to combine!!
Check out the info here, and if you are in fact, one of my 3 readers, SPEAK UP... tell us your favorite absolute screaming happy hour deal in Denver or the burbs...

Drink up, Buttercups..

Weekender (stressed out author edition)

M'kay kitty-kats, I am in the home stretch getting ready to welcome the first wave of in-laws TONIGHT, as my BIL and his girlfriend arrive to stay in the Treehouse with us... MIL and FIL arrive tomorrow, tho they will stay elsewhere. This is going to be an abbriviated version, so help each other and post any fabulous weekend free fun in the comments!


This weekend is the Cherry Blossom Festival in Denver's Sakura Square, complete with lots of free entertainment including Japanese drumming, dance, Martial arts demonstrations, and a schudule of lectures. Get all the info here.
_________________________

On Cap Hill and in the surrounding neighborhoods, the last weekend in June means just one thing - PRIDE FEST!! The annual celebration is recognized as one of the largest in the country! One of my favorite weekends in the city, and one of the wildest parades you will ever witness, Pride Fest has a whole schudule of events running the entire weekend. Check here for all the info.
_________________________

Also - it is PRIME garage sale season - and there are some big ones around town this weekend, a great chance for great DEALS!! If you know of one (or are having one) and would like to put the addy in the comments, I will leave it up to you - but garage sales are recycling at its best, so if you are looking for something for your home or yourself, get out and about and get garage saleing!!
__________________________

I'll sign it over to you all, and be off to sand and paint my poor ceiling (stupid old-school a/c unit!) before welcoming the masses.

Happy weekend!

SF Market Double Ad Wednesday Preview

This week's SF ad is out for preview in prep for Double Ad Wednesday tomorrow..

Let us not forget last week's Pickin' Chicken deal: the $1.67lb b/s chicken breast family packs from last week's ad, stock up, that is a pretty darn good price!!
If you would prefer the convenience of breast tenders, those are $1.99 in this week's add, but to save the money I would totally just cut my own strips before freezing!

Also, 6oz of Raspberries are just $.99 in this week's add, and 6oz of Blueberries are $.99 in last week's, so buy both and freeze for later yummies!

Apples, Cauliflower, Lettuce and Celery (which is just $.49 a bunch this week) are all on sale this coming week..

Santa Cruz organic lemonade products are on sale, $1.25 for 32 oz bottles... (ok ok, so I really only use this for mixing with vodka, but as long as you keep them away from MY portion, it's yum for the kiddos..)

Also, Sunflower Market label Water crackers are on sale for $.49 - I like to keep a box or two of these around in case unexpected company happens around - great for serving with whatever cheese or dip I can find around the house. (I always have a few small pieces from the little "sample and scrap" basket in the SF Market deli cheese case.. great way to try new cheese or get a little bit of things that are WAY too expensive to buy large pieces of!)

Check out both ads for yourself here.

Happy shopping tomorrow!

Stolen Moment - O Magazine

Check out this post over at Frugal Plus to grab some free reading materials, including a mini subscription to O Magazine (4 issues)!

Oh periodicals, how I love thee...

Bike to Work Day

Don't forget that tomorrow is "Bike to Work Day".. There will be breakfast stations set up all over Denver and Boulder, as well as activities, sponsor booths, and Bike Tech stations to get your bike in tip top shape for future rides! So ride your bike, grab free breakfast and chat with your fellow commuters peddling into work while reducing your negative impact on our planet! See the official website here.

Something to look forward to on Mondays

Mondays get a bad rap, and IMO they kinda deserve it... They rudely barge in, like clockwork every 7 days, ending the weekend and sending us back to our grindstones - and they are so very, very far from the comming Friday ahead.

This might get me through Mondays, however. Ben and Jerry's shops are doing B1G1 sundaes every Monday through the end of August. SOLD!
Check here to find a shop and get the details. Maybe we could change Monday's name to "the good kind of Sundae" or something?

Weekender - 6.19 - 6.21

Ahhh, the weekend is here once again... Hello old friend, we have missed you. 5 days is too long for you to stay away.

I plan to sneak in a little pool time tomorrow morning before dealing with the aftermath of today's a/c valve replacement at the Treehouse, which will leave a fancy new 2 ft by 2ft hole in our ceiling... then it is clean up time (boo!) in preparation for The Hub's family's annual visit next week. Sunday will be spent with Daddy, who has agreed to spend his Father's Day patching said ceiling hole. No further proof needed, Keri is a huge Daddy's girl!

For those looking for something more exciting than spiked lemonade by the condo pool and staring at a ceiling patch, I offer the following:



6/19 - Mmmm, floaty... My first real job was at an A&W, and depending on the memory I either love or hate a good root beer float because of that. Today from 2pm -8pm you can get a small root beer float, no purchase required, to celebrate A&W's 90th anniversary.. for that price, I think I'd love it this time. :)

_________________________

6/19-6/21 - Get your Greek on!! It is the annual Greek Festival in Denver this weekend, and this one is F-U-N!! Warm, loud, celebratory, and inviting, lots of free music and dancing to watch and people watching GALORE. Fair warning, the yummy smells make it tough not to want to shell out a few bucks to sample everything wafting through the crowd. It isn't terrible to give in to temptation, though, with a portion of the proceeds going to The Gathering Place, a drop-in center for homeless and transitioning women and children. Get maps, parking info, and everything else you need here.

_________________________

-6/20-21 - This weekend is one of several when patrons of the National Parks here in Colorado can take advantage of free admission!! How about motoring on up through Estes and into RMNP for some sight seeing on Trail Ridge (just made myself queasy thinking about it).. Check trail and road conditions in the park here and get info about all the parks here.

_________________________

-6/19 - Want an awesome free date night? "AS YOU WISH!" Denver's Movies in the Park series visits Cheesman Park this week, on Friday they will be showing The Princess Bride, providing free popcorn, cotton candy, and snow cones! The movie starts at dusk, but why not pack a picnic and go early? Even the Dread Pirate Roberts couldn't resist smooching his girl under the stars... Event website.

_________________________

-6/20- Saturday is Denver's annual celebration of Juneteenth, which actually commemorates the day that slaves in Texas learned of their emancipation (we will count the celebration of this day, along with my husband, as one of the good things exported from Texas). Denver's celebration, held in the 5 points neighborhood, will include a parade, along with free entertainment, and an opportunity to learn more about the history of the celebration, and- of course - to stroll among vendors during the celebration. Find maps of the parade route and other information at the event website.
________________________

-6/20 - On Saturday the Highlands neighborhood is hosting its 27th annual Highlands Street Fair and there will be plenty of free activities going on including music, crafts and a car show.. Vendors will also be hawking their wears, should you be so inclined (or endowed). See the website for all the details.

_________________________

-6/20 - Feeling Brassy? Head on over to Curtis Park Saturday evening to check out a free concert from Rocky Mountain Brassworks! The show starts at 6pm, find directions and details here.

________________________

-6/21 - Jazz hands for Dad - This Father's Day let dad have the day off.. then pack a picnic basket,and some chairs or blankets, load your favorite Dad into the car and point it towards City Park for City Park Jazz. This week Jon Romero y Amanecer perform at the Bandstand. Concerts start at 6, go a little early for the best parking and prime lawn location!
_________________________

What about you? What fabulous weekend plans should we all know about? Post them in the comments section, and check back, I will update as I hear more.
Happy Weekend, all... if you hear banging, cussing, or the sound of someone chugging Jack Daniels coming from the Govs Park hood, do me a solid and just turn up your radio - its all in the name of home improvement...

Stolen Moment - Losing weight on a budget

MoneySavingMom recently featured a post featuring a blog that I think is a great inspiration and resource - Pudget is a blog about losing weight while on a tight budget. This is an issue never far from my mind as I grocery shop and meal plan. The truth is, a lot of the things that are cheapest at the store are maybe not the best for our waistlines. It can be easy to grab cheapy foods and congratulate ourselves on the total at the checkout, but what about the total in our calorie count? What about nutrition for our frugal family? Check out some of the strategies that Jessica uses to save money and keep weight in check here in this post.

Hot Tip - Let Maggianos feed you twice!!

Ok, so if I was doing this deal, it would be "let Maggianos feed you all week" because their portions are INSANE!! But you can go here to get all the info about their current promotion: Order off their special "Today and Tomorrow" menu, priced at $12.95, and choose a second selection, which will be packaged and ready to take home for another meal! Thanks to one of my favorite Denver dining aficionados, darling Dawn, for the Hot Tip!

SF Market Double Ad Wednesday preview

Tomorrow is double ad day at SF Market, meaning your last chance to grab a pound of strawberries for $0.88 from last week's sales AND meaning that you can add 6 oz of Blueberries and a whole Pineapple for $0.99 each from this week's ad and whip up a big fruit salad!!

Also, my guess is that the Pickin' Chicken deal of the week is going to go to Sunflower, since they will have b/s chicken breasts on sale (family packs) for $1.67 lb starting tomorrow!

Go here to see both ads, and check out the Father's Day events happening at some of the locations too!

Forbes article:

Interesting article about shopping savings on the internet:

Linky-doo

Stock up for BBQs

So thanks to King Soopers and Bar S coupons, I have managed to get a pretty good stash of hotdogs (beef and turkey, take your pick) stowed in the freezer for improptu grilling incidents - but I always like to have some veggie burgers for my meat-shunning guests...
This Target coupon stacking Stolen Moment will get me ready (you KNOW I am going to do this a couple times) to feed the masses:

Morningstar Farms Gardenburgers $2.89
- Use $1.00/1 printable here and
$2.00/2 Target printable here
Final = $.89 ea


With those, my Hot Dogs, and the buns frozen from one of King Soopers awesome $0.88 a pack sales, I am ready to get grillin' on the fly... (wearing the "I'll have a Cafe-mocha-vodka-valium-latte to go, please" apron that twin Sissy gifted me for our b-day, natch)

Free food you can point with.

If you live near Aurora Town Center or Flatirons, Hot Dog on A Stick is having a free hotdog promotion from 5-8pm this evening.. I like food with a handle, and food I can use to fend off others who might be trying to take it from me, so I totally approve of any food on a stick. Plus, they wear those awesome outfits...
Info here

Coffee and a magazine, perhaps?

Use this coupon to get a free cup of coffee at Borders Bookstores now through June 18th, and then spend some time browsing the books and magazines.. a great way to have a couple of low-cost, quiet hours to yourself...

Check the full list and get the details here.

B&B Works coupon

Go here to print your coupon for a free trial sized item when you make any purchase at Bath and Body Works thru July 1st.. Remember, it is ANY purchase, no minimum. (and yay for me getting another little bottle of their new "white citrus" scented lotion.. mmmmmmm)

SF Market - Double Ad Wed.

Yep, another week has passed already.. zoom, just like that..
Check out the ads here, I am having a "start button/menu bar won't stay on top no matter how many times I tell it to" crisis grrr....
I will say that my birthday dinner might be a giant mound of those 88 cent avacados made into guac and a margarita the size of my head...

It's COUPON MANIA!!

.. Or so my Albertson's circular tells me, anyway.. And while I don't know if I feel any mania about it, they have some good deals - they are the Pickin Chicken Deal of the week, with b/s breasts at $1.88 lb... and there are coupons in the circular for everything from Coke and Oj to to cheese and bread that offer some pretty darn good prices... also, Bar S deli products are 33% off, which may or may not be a good thing, since I find Albertson's regular prices so much higher than other stores that I have no clue what prices they might be taking the 33% off of..
Pork country style ribs are $1.49

Safeway's making it complicated, as usual, adding "Mix and Match" pricing that gives you reduced prices on some items if you buy 10 of them.. I tend to skip this crap because I never have even sets of 10, so I have to choose which to buy to get the good price.. Sorry, lame - if you are going to have a sale, just have a sale.. this is about as awesome as your stupid coupons that only work if you spend a minimum amount.

King Soopers has a few things worth mentioning imo:
Pork Loin or Rib chops are 50% off
Fresh Express Bagged salads are 2 for $3.00 - DIY salad is probably still cheaper, but this is pretty good
Oranges are 2 for $1.00

Anything I missed that is fabulous?

Friday, June 5, 2009

Ok ok, it isn't really cheap, but..

How fun would this be?
The June 20th Summer Pitchers class would be fun!! (Hey Hub, can you say "pretty cheap idea for a birthday present"?) j/k - but I am constantly amazed by Larimer Group's inventive ideas for bringing folks in..

Yay for free Sephora stuff!

Since us city dwellers no longer have to endure the trek out to Park Meadows or Flatirons to get our Sephora Fix (proof that my theory that all good things happen in Cherry Creek is correct,) I will be swinging by to use this coupon after work today.. I am VERY excited about the Fekkai home hair color (look away, my fabulous hairstylist, Shareena, poor girls need color too..) and can't wait to try these samples too!
Free doughnut day at Krispy Kreme and Lamars, Free Bagel Friday at Einsteins... Pick your TGIF breakfast... Happy Friday!

SF market double ad Wed..

Bad blogger... today is double ad Wednesday and I haven't even glanced at SF's newest circular..
Anyhoo, it is the last day to snatch up that $1.88 lb b/s chicken breast over there, when I went they had several different sizes of prepackaged pieces to pick from, which was nice..

This week they have deveined raw shrimp for $3.97 lb - I am only getting us a 1/2 lb from now on, after our last full lb left us with lots of extra (not that it is a bad thing to have shrimp leftover for lunch).

Also, YaYa's airpopped popcorn varieties are 2 bags for $3.00 - I only discovered these this week, and I'm hooked on this easy version of everyone's favorite snack.

If you want to try the grossest tasting drink IN THE WORLD, Zevia soda pop is on sale for $3.00 a 6 pack this week.. alas, this stevia-sweetened diet soda could have been my dream-come-true when I found it months ago.. instead it is a funk that will haunt my darkest dreams for many moons to come..
