Chipotle Gives You a Free Meal for Every $30 Gift Card You Buy

May 18, 2012

Chipotle is offering a chance to stretch your dollar this spring. When you buy $30 or more in “graduate gift cards” through June 30, save your receipt. On your next visit, it’s worth a FREE burrito, bowl, salad or order of tacos. If you’re buying a high-value gift card ($60 or more), purchase it in $30 increments (separate transactions, of course), so you can get more freebies. If you frequent Chipotle, consider buying yourself several $30 gift cards. The key is to complete each transaction separately, so you obtain a single receipt for each $30 gift card. The more receipts you have, the more meals you can enjoy “on the house.” Only the original receipt will be accepted (no copies allowed) and the last day to redeem is also June 30. This tip comes from our parent site, Living on the Cheap. Check it out for more national deals and money-saving tips.

Goodwill Stores Stretch Your Budget for Summer Clothes for Kids

May 17, 2012

If you’re looking for bargains for summer clothes for kids, don’t skip the Goodwill Industries stores! As fast as kids ruin and outgrow clothes, why buy new? And a lot of it looks barely used. We checked it out for you. You can get kids’ jeans for 99 cents to $1.99 (and they prefer them broken in anyway!) … and cute embroidered girls’  jean jackets for $1.99 to $2.99. Nice shirts for boys and girls were only 99 cents! Boys sweatchirts, including Adidas and sports teams, came in around $1.99. They even had nice athletic and dress shoes for kids starting at 99 cents and nothing was more than $4.99. Probably some other kid outgrew them before they wore them very much. And don’t skip the section with backpacks and gym bags. We found nice ones for $1.99 to $3.99. Great prices on adult wear, too!
