Game On! Deals & Discounts at Dave & Buster’s

Game on! Families looking for lots of fun-packed action should head to Dave & Buster’s. The entertainment complex has it all — sports bar, restaurant and arcade. Now, this is not your typical arcade. For those old enough, it’s not Pac-Man, Centipede or Frogger anymore. Now, everything is much more high-tech and interactive.

The destination offers some of the most cutting-edge video games, many based on hit movies. On the flip side, they also offer many “carnival” arcade games for those who prefer their gaming a little more traditional, but still lots of fun. (On the arcade games, players earn tokens for high scores, which can be redeemed for some really cool prizes.) [Read more…] about Game On! Deals & Discounts at Dave & Buster’s

Bryan Blathers: The Two Traits of a Great Bargain Hunter

Navigating the world of discounts and coupons can be tricky — especially with so many restrictions, limitations and/or fine print. (There’s a reason it’s called “fine print.” That’s why I carry a mini-magnifier in my wallet. You should, too.) Any decent bargain hunter worth his or her weight in coupons must have these two traits, in my humble opinion — being inquisitive and assertive.

I’m assuming, if you get our daily e-newsletter (if not, sign-up here) or read our site with any regularity, you’re already a seasoned deal finder. However, we still often get readers upset because they did not get a deal. Typically, their frustration is aimed at us and/or the business. In reality, much of their anger could have easily been avoided with two very simple skills. [Read more…] about Bryan Blathers: The Two Traits of a Great Bargain Hunter

How To Get The Best Deals at Walgreens

With a Walgreens seemingly on every other corner, finding bargains and deals is easier (and more convenient) than you might think at the ubiquitous drugstore.

If you know how to shop its aisles smartly, Walgreens can be a source for many low-cost household essentials. Navigating the ins and outs of bargain hunting the chain can be tricky. (In our opinion, Walgreens has one of the most confusing coupon policies out there, especially with its Register Rewards program. We’re die-hard “cheapskates” and we still get tripped up.)

Our guide breaks it down for novices and experts alike. With some patience, smart shoppers should be able to “nurse” their need for saving money with these tips and tricks. [Read more…] about How To Get The Best Deals at Walgreens

14 Free & Cheap Fun Tours in Denver

We love a good factory or “insiders” tour, not only because they’re usually FREE, but because you walk away with a little more knowledge…and possibly some samples. (Yes, we’re talking about you, MillerCoors, Stranahan’s Colorado Whiskey and Celestial Seasonings!) They’re a great way for visitors to spend a few hours getting to know the Mile High City, but can also be just as enjoyable for locals. The days and hours of tour schedules vary, so check first before making plans. Unless noted, no reservations are required. Remember, tours are very popular during the spring and summer months, so be prepared to wait. Walk this way and review our 14 Free & Cheap Fun Tours in Denver page for more details.

If you’re at 7-Eleven 24/7, you may want to join its first-ever customer loyalty program, 7Rewards. Customers can earn rewards with every cup purchase made in-store. “Buy 6, get 7” is the first offer available — customers can get any 7th cup for FREE after six any-size cup purchases. We like it because you can mix and match any coffee, Big Gulp, Slurpee and Chillers purchase toward earning the freebie.

Then, every time you purchase a participating beverage, a store associate will scan the bar code and it will automatically punch the digital rewards card. After receiving six digital punches, a coupon for a FREE any-size cup will appear in the app. A new digital punch card appears, once the free coupon is redeemed — so you can start all over again. They’re revamping the mobile app to bring customers even more rewards throughout the year.

Bryan Blathers: No Good Deed Goes…?

I believe the universe presents you with unique moments to “do the right thing”, if you’re paying attention. I’m usually aloof and only interested in me, but, every now and then, I’m in tune with the bigger world around me. (By the way, I’m not fishing for you’re-such-a-good-guy comments, but, if you must… Me: *blushing* “Oh, no! Any one with a heart would have done the same thing.”) [Read more…] about Bryan Blathers: No Good Deed Goes…?

Bryan Blathers: The Case of the Misinformed Employee

It’s happened to all of us bargain hunters. The mystery of the missing deal. Excited to save money, you go to a business or restaurant only to be told no such promo exists. Even worse is when it happens at the checkout stand. Awkward!

You’re ready to pay and notice you did not receive the discount. It can make for a rather embarrassing scenario. (And, yes, even worse is when you realize you didn’t receive the right price until you finally review your receipt at home. It can be a nightmare to get a price adjustment.)

In the end, it’s frustrating, disappointing and, to be frank, quite infuriating — especially for those of us who refuse to pay full price for anything. I largely only patronize a business or restaurant because of a promo price, coupon or sale. As a result, when there’s a problem with getting a discount, I’m not happy…at all. (Anyone else?)
