For the ladies:

If you have an Aveda store or salon nearby, click on the below link, and take the coupon into Aveda!

http://www.avedabday.com/printable_coupon....ign=marieclaire

You'll get a 3-pack sample of shampoo, conditioner and anti-frizz stuff. It's a nice travel size for the plane! I went to Aveda and got mine today :)

Sweet! I'm getting my wedding hair and makeup done at an Aveda salon, they have to be nice to me :star:

I've never noticed this thread before. I'm surprised nobody mentioned the free Harvey's burger promotions when they were on... I ate soooo many burgers in those two weeks, wow.

http://slickdeals.net/ The good deals can be found in FORUMS, then HOT DEALS. As well you can post in HELP ME FIND A DEAL, which again is in the forums!!

Canadians Visiting the USA while undergoing the visa process, my free advice:

1) Always tell the TRUTH. never lie to the POE officer

2) Be confident in ur replies

3) keep ur response short and to the point, don't tell ur life story!!

4) look the POE officer in the eye when speaking to them. They are looking for people lieing and have been trained to find them!

5) Pack light! No job resumes with you

6) Bring ties to Canada (letter from employer when ur expected back at work, lease, etc etc)

7) Always be polite, being rude isn't going to get ya anywhere, and could make things worse!!

8) Have a plan in case u do get denied (be polite) It wont harm ur visa application if ur denied,that is if ur polite and didn't lie! Refer to #1

I don't know if anyone has to oreder anything online from Joann's. Well, I did and I remembered that my daughter told me to look up promotion codes. I was able to get the item I wanted for quilting for 50% and if I signed up for their coupons by mail I got the shipping for $2.98. Sweet deal I thought.

Don't know if this fits or not...or if anyone uses it. It's a link for travelling and such..

Travelzoo.com Tim and I have gotten some GREAT deals.

For instance:

The hotel in Orlando. $39/night, PLUS buy one ticket for Arabian Nights dinner show/ 2nd one FREE, PLUS two free drinks in the lounge!! (hotel was a Comfort Inn)

The Hyatt Regency in Vancouver during my interview...$119. (room I stayed in can be up to a max. of $499)

Cirque du Soliel....$25/person

We're also booking 3 nights in Williamsburg, Virgina at a great place for $52/night.

Those are just some examples. There are trips, flights specials, entertainment. You sign up and they send the top 20 deals of the week to your email. Sometimes, you can get a great deal on a cruise, (7 night Mediterranean cruise, about $325).

For those that like to travel, it's a good one to have. We're hoping for some good deals to come along for Myrtle Beach, as that's the first part of our honeymoon..then up to Virginia! Can't recall the name of the hotel but it's really quaint and perfect!

Oh..and a side note, the deals aren't always for now. You may need to book now, or for a time limit of a few days...but take the trip further down the road. Sometimes a few months later, long enough to plan your trip.

groupon.com Just pick ur city. One gets daily emails for deals. Soo many people have tobuy the deal for it to become active. If it doesn't, ur CC does NOT get charged. Most of the deals are for restaurants, but their are others just as for zip lines, rafting, golf, etc etc
