Starbucks Promotions

There are plenty of Starbucks promotions right now! If you are a fan of their brand and have a registered card you can accumulate a lot of points and discounted Christmas presents!

We grind our own coffee in our brewer, so beans are a must in our household. Right now, in store (may vary by location) they are offering a $5.00 gift card with a purchase of Christmas blend coffee, whole bean, ground or they will grind it fresh for you.  Plus, when you pay with your registered card you get stars credited to your account. So I have been getting stars for me, coffee presents for my hubby and gift cards for Christmas stocking stuffers!

They also have their fancy mugs discounted.

Don't have an account yet? Register HERE.

Currently, until January 11, 2016, you can play the "Starbucks for Life" game. Every time you buy something in store, you can log in HERE, sign into your account and open a gift box with the hopes of winning wonderful prizes. Just yesterday I won 5 bonus stars that were added to my account, which pushed me over the 12 stars point, and I now have a free reward waiting! Woo Hoo!

Some of the prizes you can win are: Starbucks for Life, Starbucks for a year, Starbucks for a month, Starbucks for a week or 5 Bonus Stars.

There are a maximum of 2 plays per day. You don't even have to make a purchase to get a chance to play! Just go HERE, sign into your Starbucks account, then scroll all the way to the fine print at the bottom of the page and click on the link for a free play. 

I don't know about you, but saving money, earning free rewards & crossing things off of my Christmas list are all up my alley!

Ta ta for now...save money!

 

Coffee Sale Alert at Target - Buy 3 get one Free!!!

CAFFEINE ALERT!!! Right now, in-store at Target if you buy 3 bags of coffee, whole bean or ground, you can get one free!

That also include Starbucks coffee! If you are a Starbucks loyalty member, you know that each bag has a star code on it for redemption. Every 12 points is a free reward and taking advantage of this offer puts you one third towards that Freebie.

If you are using your Cartwheel App (and you should be, Target gives you free wi-fi plus an app to save $$$), the coffee special includes 10% off Green Mountain Organic K-Cups, 5% off Archer Farms coffee, 10% Off Donut Shop K-Cups, 5% Off Market Pantry Coffee & Creamer plus some others. Online, and maybe in store, they are offering a free $5.00 Gift Card when you buy 3 Donut Shop or Green Mountain K-cup Packs.

I guess that Target is giving us a caffeine edge for all that back to school business!

Free Stuff On Your Birthday!

One of the advantages of signing up for email notifications or loyalty clubs with different businesses are the perks you get on your Birthday or during your Birthday Month!

August is my birthday month and my mailbox has been overflowing with offers from my various email memberships and it is only the beginning of the month!

Here is a sampling, I'll update as more arrive:

• A free dessert from the Elephant Bar.
• 20% off of my entire check at Souplantation & Sweet Tomatoes.
• 15% off of my purchase at Anthropologie
• A complimentary cookie from Boudin San Francisco Sourdough
• A Free birthday reward from Starbucks 
• A free dessert from Outback Steakhouse
• A Free Pastry from Panera Bread
• A Free egg sandwich from Einstein Bros Bagels.
• A 15% off coupon from World Market
• and of course if I had registered in advance, I could go to Catalina for free! Read my past blog.

Now the trick will be to remember to redeem them!  I guess as I get older, it's the simpler free things that are kind of exciting!

Ta ta for now...save money!
