Do yourself and the planet a favor and take advantage of this year's Earth Day freebies.
There's everything from free compost to free reusable shopping totes. You can even visit a national park for free or tour a local green community observing Earth Day.
Here's the line up:
UPDATED: New freebies and deals added to list.
You may be worn out and/or broke by Tax Day, which is Tuesday, April 17, but you definitely won't go hungry.
That's because restaurants are lining up with Tax Day freebies and discounts to lessen the pain.
There's free cinnamon rolls, free Chinese food, free fries, free frozen yogurt, free coffee, deals on bagels and chicken and wine, half price sodas, and a discount on more Chinese food.
Every three months, Procter & Gamble offers a new set of free samples and coupons to consumers.
The samples take awhile to arrive in the mail but are usually worth the wait.
If you subscribe to The News & Observer and you haven't discovered the N&O ZONE, you've been missing out on some great opportunities for freebies and discounts.
The program rewards home-delivery subscribers with all types of perks -- everything from drawings for free gift cards to movie passes and concert tickets.
This week, the ZONE is giving away free passes to the highly anticipated movie, "The Hunger Games." Twenty-five folks will receive one "Admit-Two" pass. The pass is good for Monday through Thursday showings at Mission Valley Cinemas or Six Forks Station Cinemas. Winners will be chosen at random on Friday, March 23.
In honor of Leap Day, businesses are celebrating with freebies and discounts. Here in the Triangle, I've found three four Feb. 29-only deals. Please post any you've discovered, along with a link to all the details.
If you're registered for my coupon class tomorrow, here are a few reminders:
Bring a donation of canned or dried food donation for the Food Bank
of Central and Eastern North Carolina. It will get you a second ticket in our drawing for door prizes, which, I must say, are pretty nice. Gift cards and movie passes are among the items up for grabs.
Bring your extra clipped coupons in an envelope. I'll answer questions and we'll swap coupons.
If you need any coupon organizer supplies, the folks from CouponOrganizerPro.com will be on hand, selling everything from fully loaded coupon binders to sets of extra pages. Cash and checks only.
Check your in-box for an email giving you all the details on parking, check in and breakfast.
Class will start promptly at 9. We've got a lot of ground to cover. See you then.
If you've got a cat, you'll want to snag this deal for a FREE can of cat food.
Click here to sign up for a coupon for a free can of Purina One. The coupon will be mailed to you within four to six weeks.
Even if you don't have a cat, consider getting the coupon and donating it to a shelter.
But hurry, these freebies never last long.
Friday is Veterans Day and local and national businesses are offering lots of special deals and freebies to salute our men and women in uniform, past and present.
