Enter to win two freebies over on the Mouthful blog

My colleague, food writer Andrea Weigl, has got a couple of nice freebies she's giving away over on her blog, Mouthful.

First up, she's got a coupon up for grabs for a free package of SeaPak seafood. It's worth up to $7.99.

And second, she's giving away a $31 gift card to Baskin Robbins.

Enter to win a $31 Baskin Robbins gift card

Cleaning off my desk, I discovered that Baskin Robbins sent me a $31 gift card to give away to readers for a holiday cake promotion.

Of course, I lost track of the gift card and forgot about my promise to post a giveaway tied to the promotion.

Regardless, here's an opportunity to win a gift card from Baskin Robbins. Leave a comment below this post before noon, Friday, March 8th.

I'll choose a winner at random. Good luck!

Three times the savings with discounted gift card deals

Several retailers have deals this week on discounted gift cards -- a great way to score a triple play in the savings game.

Your initial savings is on the discounted gift card. Pay $40, for instance, on a $50 gift card, and you've already saved 20 percent.

Then, use that gift card to purchase items that are on sale -- your second layer of savings.

And finally, be sure to use coupons, and you've achieved a triple play in couponing.

In case you missed them, here's a round-up of the various discounted gift card deals available:

Wednesday grocery deals, Feb. 6-12

Each of the Triangle's grocery stores has its share of excellent deals this week.

Harris Teeter has free Smart Balance Spread and South Beach Diet bars, along with great deals on organic yogurts, Earthbound Farm organic salad, Jolly Time popcorn, Johnsonville Chicken Sausage, Steamfresh veggies and Sea Pak frozen seafood.
You can also pick up milk for $2.97 per gallon, a very nice deal.

Lowes Foods has a gift card promotion that rewards you with a $5 discount off your next shopping order and a nice deal on Hallmark greeting cards. You'll also find good deals on strawberries, Duncan Hines Red Velvet cake mix for just 25 cents, split chicken breasts for 99 cents per pound and Eggland's Best eggs for $1.30 per dozen.
The Fresh Rewards E-Offer is especially good this week: $2.99 after coupon for 12 rolls of Scott's Extra Soft toilet paper.

Food Lion also has a gift card promotion running this week, giving you a $10 discount on $50 in gift cards. You must purchase an additional $10 in groceries to get the deal but a 20 percent discount on gift cards is a very generous offer.
Food Lion has also got good prices on cantaloupe, spiral sliced ham and bone-in chicken breasts.

At Aldi, you'll find some great prices on produce -- $1.29 for pineapple and cantaloupe, strawberries for $1.49 per pound and a five-pound bag of grapefruit for just $1.69.

Keep reading for a long list of this week's top deals at Harris Teeter, Lowes Foods, Food Lion and Aldi -- with and without coupons.

Last-minute gifts: Holiday gift card purchases with a bonus

                                    

Thought I would bump this post up to the top for those of us who need quick last-minute gift ideas.

As the holidays approach, many retailers are offering a bonus with the purchase of a gift card.

Buy a gift for a friend or family member -- and get a little something on the side for yourself.

Here are a few of the bonus deals I've found:

Enter to win a Snowman, Santa or Elf ice cream cake

Baskin-Robbins is selling snowman, santa and elf cakes (pictured at left) during the month of December.

Like they did for the turkey-shaped cake for Thanksgiving, they offered a $31 gift card to a lucky Mouthful reader. These cakes, which serve 8 to 12 people, have a suggested retail price of $26.99. (You can use the gift card to buy a cake for your holiday gathering or stash it away for another occasion.)

To enter, leave a comment below this post before noon, Friday. I'll choose a winner at random and arrange delivery of the gift card. Good luck!
