FREE Seattle's Best Coffee! Every Friday this month!

Burger King is offering FREE Seattle's Best Coffee every Friday morning the entire month of November!  It is no purchase necessary - they just want you to give them a try.  If you normally grab coffee in a drive thru this would be a great way to save a couple bucks!  I have not had coffee at Burger King yet, but I do LOVE Seattle's Best Coffee - so I might have to swing by myself!

This seems to be a national campaign, but as always I do suggest you call to make sure your local Burger King is participating.

Holiday Gift Card Bonuses! Use to your advantage!

The Holidays are here! Ok, not exactly, but once Halloween is behind me I kinda consider it 'almost Christmas' - so I hope you will all bear with me! First off - I am gonna be sharing LOTS of holiday goodies here - but please know our family does not take advantage of every deal - I just want to showcase as many ways to save during the holidays as possible - I hope you can find a few from the lot.

One cool thing about the holidays - stores REALLY want your business - so many of them offer awesome extra incentives. This is the time of year when you can order a gift card with a little something extra attached. I made a list like this last year and it was pretty popular - I hope this year it will be even better!

1. Outback Steakhouse - buy a $100 gift card and they will give you a $20 gift card - awesome!

2. Spa Finder gift cards are back at Costco (yay!). You can buy a $100 gift certificate for only $79.99 - if you've got an Executive membership you are also getting 2% back. Not that I advocate CC here, but if you have their American Express card there is also a percentage back. I ask for these for Christmas AND I buy a couple extra to hold me throughout the year. I stretch out salon visits as far as I can, but when I do I like to walk in with that immediate 22% discount (Spa Finder + Executive membership). FYI - I am not super fancy, I probably would never color my hair except that I just can't accept that at 31 years old my hair is more gray than it is brown....for reals.

This list will get longer! Make sure to check back!

Birthday Freebie #9 ~ Victoria's Secret $10 gift card

So this might not work for everyone (sorry guys) - BUT Victoria's Secret fans get a $10 gift card mailed out on their birthday.

I do NOT have a Victoria's Secret credit card - but I did sign up at VSPink -I have got to say - best customer loyalty program hands down. I get 'free panty' coupons in the mail ALL the time - seriously - all the time. There is no rule against men joining VSPink - I signed my husband up too - they don't mind! MOST places won't allow more than one per address but Victoria's Secret doesn't mind - just one per person. I don't ever suggest working a system or using a fake address or anything like that - but if it is allowed - why not?! Since our birthdays are two days apart we've got TWO $10 gift cards - yay!

Additional 20% off clearance at Loehmann's w/ printable coupon!

Click Here for a printable coupon for an additional 20% at Loehmann's clearance!  In the past I have found some amazing deals on the Loehmann's clearance rack.  I ALWAYS take advantage of an awesome coupon like this for even extra savings.  If you have small children and enjoy boutique style clothing I HIGHLY suggest the Loehmann's clearance racks - while their prices are already greatly discounted the clearance racks are where I found several items for LESS than what I would have spent at Target on a comparable item.  I also found several 'Hurley' shirts for my son for LESS than what I would spend at Ross or Marshalls - really!

This coupon is only good until November 10th - hurry!

FYI - the blog is getting more awesome!

So we have put this off long enough - we are finally moving to a self hosted Wordpress blog - woot!

This essentially means we will be able to do more stuff and make the blog easier to navigate - the blog address will remain the same.

I am mainly mentioning this because SanDiegoDealsandSteals.com will be down a good portion of the day on Sunday 11/6/10 - but we will have it up and running again as soon as possible and it will be better than ever!

Don't worry! If you need a San Diego Deals and Steals fix during those dreaded dark hours on Sunday please make sure to follow me on Facebook and Twitter - I will continue to update those pages on Sunday especially while the main site is down.

Nearly 800 fans 'like' us on Facebook & 400 (and growing quick!) following us Twitter! - I share even more info there - it is completely free to follow so make sure to use the fun free resources!

Saturday North County Craft Fairs!

Saturday seems to be the kick off to craft season and you have LOTS of great choices in North County if you want to get started on your Christmas shopping!

Here are just a few Christmas Craft Fairs Saturday 11/6

1.  Grace Church in Vista 10:30 - 4:00 - 1450 East Vista Way Vista CA 92084

This is an awesome craft fair!  There are door prizes, raffles, coffee, and treats  and really adorable and high quality crafts!  This will be my second year participating as a crafter (yes I craft too!) and I really hope you will stop by!  I will be selling cutie patootie hair bows, hats, headbands, and tutus!  All the money we raise at our booth goes towards our adoption expenses - so I really hope you will make it out!

2. San Elijo Holiday Boutique in San Marcos 10am - 4pm - 1105 Elfin Road San Marcos CA 92078

I have never been to this fair myself but I have heard nothing but good things! If you enjoy craft fairs you should check it out too! This is a free event as well.

3. Faith Lutheran's Holiday Bazaar in Vista 9:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m.Faith Lutheran Church & Schools

700 E. Bobier Drive Vista, CA 92084 760-724-7700
Again - I have not been to this craft fair myself but it is a FREE event and SANTA will be making an appearance! 

These craft fairs are all fundraisers for churches & community projects so it is a great way to support our community just by shopping! Also it helps out local crafters!  I do really hope you will check a craft fair or two out and if you go to Grace PLEASE come by and say hello! ('Josie Belle Designs')
