Starbucks has free healthy Vivanno Blends drinks this Friday and Saturday, July 25-26, 2008. You will need to find a Starbucks card and register it online. Then take it in to the store. If you don’t have a card, you can go get one and then register it. If you have a laptop and can access WiFi, you can do it right there in the store!

The flavors shown are Orange Mango Banana and Chocolate Banana.

They are closing over 600 stores Nationwide so maybe this new drink will be a hit. I think it is going to depend on it’s price. Everyone wants a great bargain these days!

Check out Rocks In My Dryer for Works for Me Wednesday!

Lowe’s is having a Commercial Appreciation Event and you can use any of these barcode coupons July 23-25, 2008. Savings includes up to 10% off selected items and more!

The Walgreens diaper deal is back this week! Check here for more details.  The $5 instant rebate if you buy 3 packs of diapers is listed in the July Easysaver Magazine! (Thanks

Inovermyheadandlovingit!)

Restaurant.com sent me this great deal on their gift certificates (or coupons.) Now thru July 31st, 70% off $25 Gift Certificates. Pay $3 when you use the code CRAVE.
Use these coupons to save on eating out! (Thanks Sandi for the reminder! What would I do without you?)

Best Buy has this Compaq Presario laptop for $499!

When you add the laptop to your cart you have the option of adding an Epson All in One printer for $16! You can also choose from other printers listed. Shipping starts at $20.

One favorite item in my bargain bag this week was this awesome wood storage bin:

I bought for it for $5 to hold and organize our winter coats and boots (I’ve seen one retail for $80), but it turns out that it doubles as a great hide and go seek spot!

I got it at what we call “The Big Red Barn Sale!” It is a local church that has a barn sale every Saturday and it has amazing items at great prices! Everything is donated to the church and a worker comes around and names your price so you never know what great deal you are going to find!

Is there a neat tag sale or thrift store where you find great deals? Please share with us! Feel free to also share what was in your Bargain Bag this week!

Borders has a great deal this week! In order to get you to try their online site to store service, you can get a book or item $5 and under shipped to your local Borders book store for free. Add an item $5 and under to your cart and use code BR41925. (You should be able to do a search for book that are $10 an under. Then click a few pages down to find $5 books.) If there is a more expensive book that you have been wanting, you can also get another item for 40% off. Click that you want to continue shopping and add another book or item to your cart. Use code BC4777 for 40% off. It will apply to the second book you put in your cart. Set shipping to your local store to get it for free! If you don’t have a store nearby you an spend $25 and get free shipping to your home.

Update: It looks like their site might be overloaded. Try buying your 40% off book first if you are going to get two books. That worked for me!

I’ve written about TravelZoo before, but if you have not signed up for their weekly email alerts, you have got to get to it! After you sign up, they will email you awesome vacation deals that they find. They take the best 20 and create a weekly top 20 list! This week, they have a $59 hotel in Las Vegas with a $60 credit (to use the next night?) and a Disney hotel for $99 a night with breakfast!

Hallmark’s website shows that you can get $2 off their new adhesive gift wrap. However, my mom went there yesterday and they had an offer for free adhesive gift wrap ($4.99 value) with any purchase! You can get pens for $1 and possibly other inexpensive items as well if this offer is in your store. Their adhesive gift is a wonderful invention! It’s very easy to get on and off a gift.

CVS Pharmacy’s Extracare team sent me an email with some tips about their great Extra Bucks this week!

They are offering a special “Free After Extra Bucks” promotion all week. All ExtraCare cardholders that purchase a 4×6 (limit 1) or 6×8 (limit 2) hardcover CVS photo books will receive Extra bucks equal to the amount you spent, making them free! Just bring your digital camera, memory card or actual prints in to use the in store Kiosk. The book are bound in just a few minutes and make great gifts!

They have also offered to have an interview with us so if you can think of any questions you have been wanting to ask them, please email me using the contact me button!

I love CVS!
