Free Prostate Cancer Screenings
Prostate cancer kills almost 40,000 men annually and yet it is one of the easiest cancers to beat. The key is early detection. So St. David's Healthcare is offering free prostate cancer screenings for men over the age of 40. Prostate screenings will include a blood test and rectal exam.

Free mammograms
The Austin chapter of the Susan G. Komen for the Cure teamed up with the clinic at El Buen Samaritano (Seton Cancer Screening) to offer free breast cancer screenings. Komen for the Cure funds the mobile mammogram program. The free screenings were offered today and are being offered again tomorrow, September 10th at El Buen Samaritano. Women must make an appointment by calling 512-505-5528.
Update: 4:30pm All booked for tomorrow , but you can still call the number above to find out when there will be a free clinic near you.

New Coupon Site
I just joined this new site called Groupon. Here's how it works, people sign up and then each day Groupon sends you a new deal. You have a certain amount of time to buy the deal. A minimum number of people have to buy in order for you to cash in. So if enough people don't buy you won't get the deal.
To give you an example, yesterday, they sent out a deal for the Woodland restaurant off South Congress. You pay $25 but get $50 worth of drinks and food. They had to sell 25 of them and by the end they had sold over 200, so everyone who bought in got the deal. They send you the deals to your e-mail.

Childcare Help
This was a deal I thought was too good to pass up. The Goddard Schools are offering to give parents a "free childcare day" for parents that are going on job interviews. Marie tells me "Parents only need to fill out minimal paperwork. Schools also ask parents to call ahead to reserve a spot, as there is limited availability at the schools depending on class capacity."

Here are the schools that are participating:
