Free stuff counts in my game :-D ...Marianna - YES! Free stuff counts in my game :-D Because if it's free, you're not spending money, so you don't need a coupon. The coupon is only necessary when monetary transactions for goods or services (doctors excluded) occurs! What a great promotion. I should see if the G'ville Drive has something like this planned!<br /><br />As for the gift certificates: restaurants.com regularly has coupon codes to get up to 80% off their restaurant gift certificates. So, I could buy a gift certificate, but couldn't use it because I would have to spend whatever amount above the certificate value in order to use it, and I haven't found a restaurant that will take it in conjunction with a coupon!<br /><br />I'm still just a little fluffy chick in the twitter world, but I am learning fast. Thanks so much for the tips!clippedbloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06567707178837562734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7376931766101617747.post-17155582773639845942009-07-17T15:34:35.561-04:002009-07-17T15:34:35.561-04:00Does this count?

We watched promotions at our local AAA ballpark (a STL Cardinals club team) and were able to donate 5 pcs of used clothing per family member on Wednesday night to the Salvation Army in exchange for free tickets to the game, free hot dogs and drinks all around. Family of FIVE had a night of entertainment totally FREE. How's that? Not a coupon, but an offer. <br /><br />Also, there are a lot of local web sites that allow you to buy 1/2 price gift certificates to local restaurants so you eat half price. In addition, like you found out this week - tweeting at certain businesses with valuable information or spreading a little Twitter love about them (especially on days like #followfriday) sometimes returns love back to you in the form of free stuff or coupons.Mariannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09746402188976615059noreply@blogger.com
