If you're a fan of Facebook, you may have a deal waiting for you on your page.
Many folks -- myself included -- have received a $4 credit on any gift purchase of $5 or more.
What a great way to treat someone without spending a lot of money.
It's giveaway time, folks.
Every day this week, I'll be hosting a giveaway here on the blog, along with a couple more on the Centsible Saver Facebook page.
All kinds of great freebies end up on my desk and since I can't keep them, I'm passing them all on to you, folks.
If you win, keep it for yourself, or give it as a gift this holiday season. Either way, I won't tell.
So check in every day this week. Please enter each giveaway once.
First up, I've got a Chick fil-A coupon calendar for 2013 up for grabs. It's the new fancy-schmancy digital version that I wrote about HERE. Just to clarify, the calendar is paper, but the coupons are digital, loaded onto a card that comes with the calendar and registered to your email address.
All together, you'll get 12 freebies -- one per month.
Sound good?
Enter to win by leaving a comment or question on this post.
The giveaway ends at midnight Wednesday, Dec. 12. I'll pick one winner at random using random.org.
Please be sure your newsobserver.com registration is up to date with a viable email address because I'll contact the winner via email.
Second, I'm giving away a coupon for one free peppermint chocolate chip milkshake from Chick fil-A. Enter to win that over on the Centsible Saver Facebook page.
If you haven't already, while you're there, please "like" the page, then leave a comment and you'll be entered to win the milkshake. You have until midnight Wednesday, Dec. 12, to enter this giveaway.
I'll contact that winner, chosen at random, through Facebook message.
Target is offering a sweet deal via Facebook right now.
If you're a fan of the page, Target will email you a link to a coupon for a free $10 gift card when you spend $50.
The deal is good only in stores, not online.
Quantities are limited so don't be surprised if the deal disappears from Facebook.

Just in time for the holidays, Goodberry's is offering two deals for frozen custard fans on a budget.
Deal 1: Through Dec. 24, you can pick up a $20 Goodberry's gift card for just $15. That's a 25 percent discount.
And Deal 2: In honor of its 25th year in business, the Triangle-based creamery is selling a 2013 calendar loaded with coupons.
The calendar contains three coupons per month, one of them for a completely free item each month, according to Henry Brathwaite, Goodberry's director of marketing. The value of the coupons totals more than $130.
A few examples of the freebies:
Over the next several weeks, I'm going to highlight local food entrepreneurs whose products may make good gifts this holiday season.
First up is Jennifer Huntington of Huntington Kitchen.
I first became aware of her nut butters and baked goods earlier this year when I won samples of her almond butter, cashew butter and coffee vanilla peanut butter at a local canning swap. (The coffee vanilla peanut butter is absolutely delicious and addictive.)
Huntington, 33, has a master's degree in public health from UNC, but decided to become a stay-at-home mom for her sons, James, 3, and Benjamin, a 5-month-old. She had always been into cooking, making her own granola and nut butters. Late last year, she decided to turn those skills into a business.
She started selling baked goods, granolas and nut butters as Huntington Kitchen at the Raleigh Downtown Farmers Market. She also offers her products to customers of The Produce Box, a weekly delivery service of fruits and vegetables from local farms. She also sells her nut butters and granolas online. Prices range from $6 to $35. Go to facebook.com/HuntingtonKitchen or
Update: Huntington tells me that she is now offering three- and six-month subscriptions for nut butters and granolas. She writes, "Some months, the flavors that we will offer will be exclusively available to members only." Those can be delivered to your door or are available to pick up locally.

I'm bumping this up to the top because it's such a fun and great deal. It's good through Oct. 5.
Here's a deal that will score you major points in the friendship department.
Using the gift-giving app Treater, you can send a favorite person a Pumpkin Spice Latte from Starbucks.
The regular price for a Pumpkin Spice Latte: $6.
Your price: FREE.
Here's how the deal, which is valid through Oct. 5, works:

On my last fill up, I paid $1.60 per gallon for gasoline.
That's not a typo.
While I was at it, I filled up my husband's tank and my son's.
All totaled, we paid $55.96 for 35 gallons of gas.
Just a few days ago, a reader asked me to name my most favorite recent deal and I would have to say this ranks at the very top.
It was most definitely a cheap thrill driving away from the pumps. After all, we haven't seen $1.60 per gallon gas in the Triangle since 2008, and then only briefly.
Working Kroger's fuel rewards program to your advantage, you, too, can fill your tank at a Kroger gas station on the cheap. Here's how:
Sears is offering a Father's Day deal that gives you the chance to buy dad a generous gift while snagging a gift card for yourself.
Here's how:
Food Lion launched an extraordinarily generous promotion today that will save you an automatic 20 percent on gift cards to select retailers.
Here's how:
A huge thanks to all of you who entered to win the $25 gift card to The Container Store.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading your confessions of clutter, your tips on organization and even your pleas for help.
A self-proclaimed pack rat who drives her husband crazy, one reader declared that a trip to The Container Store just might save her marriage.
Talk about pressure!
