Free breakfast - Happy Birthday to me! :)

Corner Bakery has a promotion going on right now.  Free oatmeal! :)   

Chilled Berry Almond Swiss Oatmeal, a summertime favorite made fresh to order and loaded with ripe seasonal berries

Go to this site.

It seems like everyone in the entire world is trying to get free breakfast so if the site doesn't work, just continue to press refresh.  It took me about 15 minutes to get it all said and done.  You will know it went through when you get an email.

My birthday happens to be on Monday the 6th, which is one of the days they offer the free breakfast, so .... I get free breakfast on my Birthday! :) Lucky me!

Good luck!

Is this a house or apartment?

We are moving out of the apartment this Friday and moving in with my parents for a few weeks (hopefully).  The house does not have plumbing currently due to the gigantic renovations we are having done.  The house is supposed to be done in 3 weeks, but that is not going to happen.  We have been delayed due to permits.  *sigh*

But anyway, one of the things I'm looking forward to most is being able to say I live in a house, not an apartment. :) 

Whenever I order takeout, the person on the phone always says "Is this an apartment?" And up until now, I have always had to say yes... It has always made me sad.  In fact, instead of putting Apt # XXX on my return address form, I usually put Unit #XXX.  So I honestly, can't wait until I can order takeout and for them to say "is this a house or apartment?" and for me to say "House." :)  Very strange, I know.

Nook books for FREE!

 I love free books.  And I LOVE my nook. :) I bought the nook a while ago, before the kindle came out with free books.  I was all sad when the kindle had free books and the nook didn't.  However, Barnes and Noble right now has 6 books for free!!  HURRY! The deal ends July 26th.

There is a catch (but its worth it).  You have to try Barnes and Noble new browser-based reader.  Go to this site at Barnes and Noble.  Click "Read it now".  Scroll down to sample each title, then click "NOOK Book: $0.00" in the top right corner to purchase.

The books are -   

• The Vow: The True Events that inspired the movie - Kim Carpentar
• Perfect Island Getaways: 1000 places to see before you die - Patricia Schultz 
• Sex and the City - Candice Bushnell 
• Map of Bones (Sigma Force Novel) -James Rollins 
• The Boxcar Children Summer Specials - Gertrude Chandler Warner 
• Brave - Tennant Redbank 

I have no idea if these books are any good, but I'm going to give it a shot!

The other thing I'm not sure about is if these books will transfer to my Nook.  I only have a WiFi Nook, so I have to wait until I have an internet connect to see if they show up on my Nook.   I'll let you know when I know. :)

Express Coupons - Did you know?

So - by now I'm sure all Express clothing/accessory fans know of the coupons they offer.

I don't know what the coupon is called but I call it the tiered coupon.  You know what I mean, where they give you the option of taking $15 off of $50, or $30 off of $100, or $60 off of $200. The below coupon is one the express.com site has offered right now. 

 
However, because I'm addicted to coupons (and I LOVE express jeans) I also subscribe to their mailing list and gave them my personal address to send me coupons.

Well, until now, I didn't realize Express.com will offer a coupon code that may be different from the one they email you!! I got this coupon emailed to me.

If you read that, you have to spend WAAAY less money to get the deals. 

And, to make things even MORE confusing.  At the beginning of this month I got this in the mail -

So, the moral of the story is, pay attention!!! I can get $150 worth of clothes for $90 (or 40% off) instead of a measily 30% off just through their website.  Also - sign up for their emails, you can get good discount codes. :)

I'm back, with a fun Free Drink from Starbucks!

I've been gone for a long time.  Basically since I started house shopping.  Well, since then I found a house and I've been battling contractors for a while trying to update a 50's style kitchen and bathroom.  And let me tell you, there are good 50's styles... and there are bad 50's style.  A pink bathtub with baby blue wall tile is not my idea of a good 50's style bathroom. 

Anyway - The time for the fun stuff. 

July 13, Noon to 3 p.m.

 

Enjoy a free Tall (12 fl. oz.) handcrafted Starbucks Refreshers™ beverage at participating stores. No purchase necessary. Limit 1 per person.   

I will be visiting the local Starbucks after lunch on Friday for sure!  I haven't tried these, and I am ready. :)
