Freebies • Yoga--Cancer survivors get to experience yoga classes and mini-workshops for free this Saturday. It's all part of a fundraiser for YogaBear. The non-profit pairs cancer patients with yoga studios and helps pay for classes to help them heal. This is also a terrific opportunity for healthy folks to give back and help someone else in need. Pay $25 and you can attend the Yogapalooza event this Saturday as well. It takes place at Lifetime Fitness South from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. You can learn more by watching my story Thursday at 6 p.m. Minor League Baseball Deal Food Deals • Ben & Jerry's is offering a buy one get one free sundae deal on Monday's through August 31st. All you have to do is mention the deal when you order. You can go here to find a store near you. There is only one Ben & Jerry's shop left in Austin. It's located in West Lake Hills. • Sign up to be a "Do Something" member at Baskin Robbins and get a coupon for a free soft serve ice cream cone. You'll have a short four day window to use the coupon (July 14th through the 17th) and you do have to sign up to receive e-mails so they can send you the coupon. • Restaurant.com ups the ante again this week by offering 80 percent off gift certificates. All you have to do is use the code word DISH and instead of paying $10 for the $25 gift certificates, you pay just $2. Hurry though, the savings are only good through Thursday, June 25th. • Texas Land & Cattle restaurant has started offering deals using Twitter. Thanks to Andrew who told me about this. Recently the restaurant announced that "between 4 and 6 one day you tell the bartender "ride 'em cowboy" and you could get a free appetizer." Here's the twitter page link: www.twitter.com/txlcmopac. Travel Deals • Southwest Airlines is having a click and save sale. It's a three day sale, which means you have until June 25th to book your flight, but you can travel through August 15th. Tickets are as cheap as $49 one way. A flight from Austin to Las Vegas is $114 one way. • And if you want to go to Vegas check out the deal the Monte Carlo Resort & Casino is offering. Book at least 30 days in advance and you can save up to 20 percent on a room--in some cases that makes the rooms as little as $42 a night. Give yourself even more time than that and you can get two free spa admissions and a $20 spa credit. • Continental Airlines is also offering airfare to the Caribbean for as little as $105 one way and $79 one way to Las Vegas. Unfortunately most of the deals leaving Houston are for destinations in Texas and Louisiana. • AirTran is also having a pretty good sale. You've got to book by June 30th and obviously the flights are out of San Antonio. |
