Deals of the Week

8:00 AM Wed, Oct 28, 2009 |

halloween.jpgThis week you'll find lots of Halloween inspired deals and one you should mark on your calendar for this time next week. Thanks to all the viewers who've been sending me deals.

Remember if you spot something worth a mention, feel free to send me an e-mail.

Free Boo-rito
The name alone may make you want to take part. Customers who visit Chipotle on October 31st dressed as a burrito or something Chipotle-like (they say anything in foil, a head of lettuce, bag of chips, avocado, etc.) will get a free burrito, order of tacos, bowl or salad. They do this every year and Micah, one of our producers here at KVUE, says the managers are pretty liberal with what they consider costumes. Thanks Tom for letting me know this deal.

Free Black Jack Taco
Taco Bell says it's not a trick but a treat. Come into any Taco Bell between 6pm and midnight on October 31st and get a one free Black Jack Taco. The fine print says it's up to each manager to decide whether to participate in the giveaway.

Halloween Fun
Bass Pro Shops is having an entire day of Halloween fun for the kids. From noon to 4pm at all the stores they'll be decorating masks and roasting marshmallows. Thanks Susan for letting me know.

Super Sonic Halloween Specials
Kathy told me that Sonic is pulling out the treats as well. You'll find several 50 cent Halloween specials. Drive into any Austin area Sonic Drive-in and get 50 cent Corn Dogs and 50 cent ice cream dishes ALL DAY Saturday, October 31st open to close. You can go here to find a Sonic near you.

Free Ice Cream next Wednesday
Amy's Ice Creams celebrates its 25th anniversary in November. So mark your calendar because as a way to say thanks to all of their customers ALL locations will be giving away free ice cream from 2pm to 6pm on Wednesday, November 4th.

Restaurant Deals
Once again Restaurant.com is offering some of the best savings of the month. Up until Saturday, October 31st you can save 80 percent on restaurant gift certificates by using the discount code TREATS before you check out. That means the $25 gift certificates which normally sell for $10 can be purchased for just $2.

Travel Deals
• Don't forget about the Southwest Airlines deals. You must book by tomorrow, Thursday, October 29th to take advantage of the airfare that's as low as $25 one way. To read more check out my blog posting from yesterday.

• I found this site the other day and thought it was a great place to find several travel deals from some of the bigger websites all in one place. It may be worth checking it out if you've got plans to vacation or are simply looking for an excuse to getaway. One of the great reminders is that you can get a $200 voucher if you book a flight or a flight and hotel through Expedia by the end of the year.
