I did check on several of these and the only local one I found participating in MY area is Krispy Kreme--yahoo, my daughter gets 6 doughnuts! Call your local stores before heading over for your freebie!

Free Root beer, Il Divo, Aeropostale, Vitamins

Rumor has it that Sonic is having their annual free root beer float night on June 3 from 8 p.m. to close. Free! Call your nearest Sonic to confirm, but most should be participating.


Anyone appreciate the melodious, hunky voices of Il Divo like me? They are performing in SLC next Friday, June 5. You can now purchase two tickets through TravelZoo at 50% off--only $56.50 for 2!


Aeropostale has this light, summery, cute dress for only $10 right now--and it comes in 5 different colors! Think I might have to get me one, or two!


Vitamins or supplements anyone? This is a great deal and a great time to stock up! Puritan's Pride has a deal going right now where if you buy 2 bottles, you get 3 free! That's 5 for the price of 2! There are lots of different supplements you can get. ALSO, use code TE5PP4D for $20 off $50 or more, plus free shipping. As a side-note, I have used the above Acai (my sis read somewhere that it is the most pure form of it) and I love it for energy level, BUT you can either get it at Good Earth for $30 or at Puritan's Pride for $12.99! Plus, you get 5% of what you spend back if you are an Ebates member. If not, sign up and save! Stock up while the sale is still on!

Friday Favorite

What can I say more except that I love my Magic Bullet! There's so much you can do with it, but my favorite, and most frequent use, is making shakes or smoothies. In fact right now I sip on my chocolate-raspberry-banana protein shake for breakfast, after my morning run. Here's a link to one of my favorite recipes I make with it: Spinach Smoothies! The best deal right now is found at Costco. With the $10 off coupon that expires on May 31, you can get the deluxe version of it for only $44.99!

Yanni, Waffles, Tankinis and Donuts

If you like Yanni, he is touring in several cities, including SLC, and you can get tickets to his show, buy one get one free with code GREECE. Click on your city and enter the code next to the price box. Cheapest tickets being $35, it may not be a bad date?

Great coupons for Kashi waffles! It's $1.50 off and Target sells the box for about $1.79, so you'd be getting them for .29 cents! I think you can print up to two.

Kohls is having a one-day sale on their sport tankini pieces--$16.99 each and they are really cute!

One dozen Krispy Kreme donuts for .99 cents on May 23! It's in celebration of National Penny Day--who knew they had that? I would call your store ahead to make sure they are participating before you go, though.

Friday Favorite--Latepost

I'm getting this off late, but wanted to tell you about another favorite thing of mine. My friend gave me the Pedi-Egg for my birthday because she has loved hers and wanted to share. I loved mine so much that I, in turn, gave these as Mother's Day gifts this year. It's called smooth, soft, summer-ready heels and feet without the cost of a regular pedicure! I know the idea of cheese-grating your own skin makes a lot of people cringe, but it doesn't hurt and it makes my feet lovely-soft! It will run you about $10, but I got mine at Bed, Bath and Beyond with a 20% off coupon, that comes regularly in the mail, for about $8.

Flights, Tickets and Coupons

Friday Favorite

With summer approaching, it has many people thinking about trips, getaways and second honeymoons. I frequently have people ask me to find them a good deal on a flight. I inevitably refer them to the most user-friendly, lowest-listed-fare site that I've found--CheapAir. One thing I love about it is that I can simply click the box where it says "dates flexible" and the prices will drop even more. After all, that is how I got a $325 rt fare from SLC to Hawaii three years ago! (Oh, and if you plan on going, I will have to tell you my FAVE restaurant!) I just got an email from CheapAir this morning telling me that all the airlines have just started a fare war, so if you are looking to head out somewhere, check it out.

Friday Favorite---and more

If I had more money to spare these days, I think I would pamper myself more, wouldn't you? After all, a mom's job is hard work. My sis introduced me and the spa I have referred friends to is Amara. The owner, Lea, started it in her Lindon basement and has recently talked about going to a commercial location since the business is growing so much. The staff there knows how to take care of you and they do a great job at everything I've had done there, which has mostly been waxings and the very-occasional massage. So, if you are in need of anything and live in the area, check it out!
