Fro-yo deal

Since it still feels like summer outside in Miami - the timing is just right for this great deal on frozen yogurt from Yogurama.  Just being reminded of them makes me kind of want to head over for lunch today. Maybe with my own blackberries for toppings? 

If I turn into a blackberry...

You can blame Fresh Market!

Just ran over to grab an apple and left with enough blackberries to last me the week.  They're on sale for 98 cents a package and you should go stock up too!!

Winter envy

This time of year, women up north get to forget about their razors for long stretches at a time.  Here in Miami, we're still showing our skin - even if we pair a short skirt with ugg boots.  But, laser hair removal could take away the envy.  

The deals on 6 treatments are a dime a (half) dozen, so today's deal stands out for offering a full year of treatment.  Check it out and forget about your razor year round.

Love me some Publix

Great deal today for a Publix gift card.... For $5 you can get a $10 gift card.  What will you buy with your no-guilt free money?  

Belle of the bargain ball

My (50% off) gown arrived today for a gala I am attending on Saturday.  I put it on, then added 4 inch heels.  The dress was still a solid 8 inches too long.  Frantic search for speedy - cheap - alterations option ensues.

Well, the result was so excellent that I have to share!  With a Nordstroms credit or debit card you get $100 of free alterations a year.  And, free parking at Merrick Park.  Amazing.

Hands please

Do you see those mani/pedi deals every day but don't need a pedi that often?  Well, it's official I've seen a mani only deal for the first time ever and it's a good one.  $8 for a manicure in South Miami.  Too bad I can only buy one!

On a side note, did you know there is no word for toes in Spanish? This bothers me. A lot.

In need of a staycation?

Well, here's a great one for you!

Enjoy a day of bliss with this $99 deal.  Add up a 1-hour massage, pedicure, lunch, champagne, tiki hut rental on the beach, and valet parking and you have a whole lot of relaxation.  Get together a group, or just have a day to yourself.  Either way, enjoy!

(P.S. I'm pretty sure that the massage is inside and then you go to your tiki hut, so don't be misled by my photo choice.)

Deal done right

So many times a deal isn't really a deal.   Yeah, you get a great price but you either would NEVER spend that much (i.e. yesterday's $10 for a hefty $20 at Chicken Kitchen) or you would spend so much more that the 54% off ends up becoming 10% off before you're done.


Well, today we have a deal done right!

$16 for $32 to spend at The Melting Pot.  And, in case you were wondering, I'll share my research.  Cheese and Dessert courses are each $16.  So, grab the deal, grab a friend and treat yourself to some yumminess at a great price.

Pumpkin time

How many emails did you get today about pumpkin being back?  I got lots, but only one included a deal!

Get a $10 Starbucks card for just $5.  Good deal.  Even better deal if you get reimbursed at the full cost for work meeting  beverages.  Just saying....

Want to give a pumpkin gift?  Check out Quilty Pleasure.  New Fall designs, coming soon.

Yeah, yeah, I know....

I'm a slacker, get over it!

But, to help earn my way back into your good graces, here's a coupon for $5 off of $50.  Just print page 16 and bring it in to Winn-Dixie or Publix.  

You're welcome.

Time to go shopping!

Gas cards are back, that means it's a stock up week at Publix.

Timing is everything

So exciting!!  Last weekend was my college reunion and we were all lamenting how all those memories were stuck in albums since were still using film cameras.  The DittoBee people must have read my mind.  And, they're super nice mindreaders too... Were quick and friendly in answering all my questions today.


Get the deal... 500 photos scanned for just $39 and you can drop off and pick up in the Grove so you never have to put your photos in the hands of delivery people.

Testing my willpower.

There are two great deals that I want today....

Winner of a night

What did you do tonight?


Me.... I went to IHOP for free pancakes.


Then, I stopped at Publix on my way home and picked up four free pints of Talenti.  What is Talenti?  I'm not sure actually.  The package implies it is both sorbet and gelato.  I would just place it in the ice cream family.  The salted caramel flavor is in the very yummy ice cream family.  Can't wait to sample some of the other free flavors I got!


I hope that you took advantage of the free pancakes - and then donated to Miami Children's Hospital like I did! The Talenti is a little tougher. I had BOGO coupons, and it is BOGO this week at Publix, so that means two free per coupon.  Can't beat it. 


Now, if only diet coke was on sale somewhere this week....

Breakfast anytime

Today is National Pancake Day.

And, to celebrate, IHOP is offering a free short stack of pancakes between 7 am and 10 pm.  All that they ask is that you make a donation to support Children's Miracle Network Hospitals. 

CMNH is the group you see with the balloons in Publix where you can give a dollar and put your name on the balloon.  You know what I'm talking about!  Well, in Dade, Broward, and Monroe counties every one of those benefits Miami Children's Hospital.  Same thing with the IHOP event.  Every donation comes right back here to help kids in our backyard.  If you aren't in South Florida, I don't know which hospitals you help, but it's still a great cause.

Enjoy your pancakes!
