OK, it’s not the Quart that Glidden gave away, but it’s my lucky number: FREE.

May 16th, 2011, 6:19 am by

Wow, that’s a lot to process.  For $37 you get a golf package for 2, $20 restaurant credit AND 2 beers.  Hmm.  Brunswick Greens Golf Course is in Troy and they apparently do weddings there as well.  This deal is brought to you by Living Social whom I love because of the following: a) I like their website design.  Also, 2) You buy this deal and post it on your facebook and send it to select friends who won’t disown you for spamming them.  If 3 of your friends buy from your link, your deal is free.

Good morning and welcome to a brand new week.  Nice to wake up to some good news!  Let’s celebrate by further stimulating the economy, shall we?

$28 gets you a customized 45-minute massage at The Early Dawn Massage Therapy in Chatham.  That’s one of the lowest prices I’ve seen for a decent massage.  New to Groupon?  Go here first.  Or hit this deal head on here.


I have never heard of this next place but this is a deal my son would adore!  $7.50 gets you the chance to star in your own 5 minute movie using green screen technology at Wizey Studios of Crossgates Mall.  Half off their usual price of $15.  Choose from 14 movies – be an action star, ninja or princess, give your Oscar-worthy performance and then walk with dvd proof of your thespian dominance to share on facebook.  Bravo!  If you’ve never seized a deal before from SeizeTheDeal, go here.  Or find this offer here.


More body work except these treatments target cellulite and facial regeneration (reversing signs of aging).  Body Image Optimization of Latham has 2 treatments on Groupon now 1) $150 for 2 Velashape treatments that target cellulite ($500 value).  This looks like a more modern version of Endermologie.  2) $225 gets you 1 ematrix treatment ($500 value)-  similar to getting a mini-laser treatment(?).  It’s a 20 minute application and it’s meant to smooth wrinkles, brighten skin and fade scars. New Grouponers can register here.  Or find this deal here.



This deal in Troy is selling gangbusters – over 250 sold!  $7 gets you $15 worth of breakfast, sammiches, etc at Illium Cafe.  Sign up to get your Groupon here or go to this offer right here.


Groupon has the Coldwater Creek deal back again – $25 gets you $50.  I’m not sure how to describe this store for the uninitiated.  It’s sort of mom clothes. There.  I said it.  Nice ones tho.  You’ll need to register with Groupon here if this is your first purchase.  Then go directly to this deal here.


A couple of cosmetics deals on Target dailies today – Grab this Sonia Kashuk Dripping Diamonds 8-piece brush kit for $9.99 with free shipping, reg. $20+.  SK makes very nice brushes for the price.

And then there’s this beauty:  the well-reviewed E.L.F. Large Makeup collection is marked down to $20 with free shipping today only, reg. $40.

Like Purina Pro Plan on Facebook and get a free sample of Roasted Slices dog food.


Here’s a coupon for a free travel sized item at Bath & Body Works with any purchase.  Exp. 5/4.

It looks like they got slammed and have reserved samples only for institutions and businesses.  Score a free sample of Pro-Tex hand sanitizer that specifically combats MRSA among other germs.

Lovely deal from Joe’s New Balance this morning – get these Womens 521 Cross Trainers for $23.99 with Free Shipping.  Today is the last day for free ship at Joe’s.  Also, go through Ebates first to have 4% of your cash rejoin you at the finish line.

Get a free Spiru-tein energy drink here. **I forgot to add that you’ll need this code #: 9632. 

That’s what I’ve got for you on this fine Monday morning.  Smile and revel in the peace of the nation-unifying news of the day before it gets divisive and conspiracy-laden.  *deep breath*

Good morning and thank you for visiting the Deal Diary.

1/2 off baseball camp!  $89 gets you a week at Frozen Ropes in Albany for kids btw 6-18.  Can anyone explain the significance of the name of this place?  Is it a sports reference or just totally random?  This is regularly $185 and you must register by 6/15.  Register for Groupon here.  Go to the deal here.

Spare Time of East Greenbush has a $35 gets you 2 hours of bowling for up to 6 peeps with shoes, pizza and pop – an $88 value.  OK.

Another Groupon for the dawgs.  $10 gets you $20 at The Lazy Dog Cookie Co. in Ballston Spa (cool but noisy website).  Looks yum.  Get a Groupon account here first and then go to the deal here.

Even more Groupon action this morning – get this $40 General Mills sampler pack and coupons for $20 with free shipping.  It’s selling briskly but mostly appears to be stuff we don’t eat but different strokes.  Get your groupon here.  This deal here.  Contents:

  • 12.8 ounce Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal
  • 13 ounce Reese’s Puffs cereal
  • 12 ounce Kix cereal

Get a free bag of By Nature pet food when you use this rebate form. Find area stores that sell the products here.  I see Benson’s, The Pampered Pooch, Wet Nose, Pet Supplies Plus, Pet Stop and others.  It appears the value of the rebate is $10-12.  Not bad. (Thank you, Hip2Save)

Lots of doggie stuff today – register with Nutro Rewards and they’ll send you a coupon good for up to $10 their dawg food.  Check it out.

Wow, great deal on Zoya nail colors.  They are doing an Earth Day (week) promotion where you can get their polishes for free and just pay s/h of $4 per bottle.  It’s called the Nail Polish Exchange and they’d like you to send back old polishes you no longer use after you’ve received your order.  Considering their colors are $8 per + shipping, I’d qualify this as a pretty great deal.  The caveat is you must purchase at least 6 bottles and no more than 24.  The other caveat isn’t returning the polish – that’s up to you and you’ll still get your polishes if you don’t.

Tomorrow morning don’t forget!  Get free Starbucks coffee or tea when you present your travel mug and say please.


Also Tomorrow Friday 4/22 only – Get a free full-sized Origins facial cleanser at the Origins counter when you fill out this form and bring it with a cleanser you no longer use (full or empty).  The only Origins in this area that pops up on their store finder is in Macy’s Colonie Center.

Yay, DoubleTakeDeals is back!  They’ve been quiet for a while but I guess it was because they were preparing this page full of 13 new deals!  w00t!  The deals include Carvel, The Sports Grill, Sunset Lanes, Want Ad Digest, Party Warehouse, J&S Watkins and others.  Here are a few of my picks:  1) $20 gets you $40 at Panza’s restaurant in Saratoga,


2) $29 gets you a $60 season pass to Oasis Family Fun Park in Troy,

3) $99 gets you 3 laser hair removal treatments ($450 value) at Laser Med Spa in Clifton Park,

4) $12 gets you $25 worth at The Pottery Place in Stuyvesant Plaza to make pottery or jewelry.

Mother’s Day Flower Alert!!  This got my attention: FloraFlora is an online flower delivery service and they have a 15% off code: MDAY15 or MOM15 but more importantly: FREE SHIPPING! If you’ve ever sent flowers you know that once you get done choosing the arrangement and the vase, etc, delivery can add anywhere from $10-20 depending.  And of course we’re going to sweeten it up – register with ShopAtHome, an online rebate outfit and you’ll get $5 just for signing up.  Then find FloraFlora on their site and click through that portal to magically get 7% of that purchase back in your piggy bank.  Nice.  Mom’s happy, you’re happy.

And with this lovely bouquet I shall make my leave of you.  If you’re off tomorrow, have a wonderful long weekend.  Check here before you go shopping because I’ma still leave you a love note in the morning, holiday or not! Peace!

Let us Introduce You of Clifton Park wants to set you up on one highly personalized date at the bargain price of $29 (reg. $60).  I have featured this outfit before but I’ve heard nothing positive or negative about them.  Anything’s got to be better than the local dating sites.  At least that’s what I’ve heard.

Top of the morning, good people. Let’s see what we can get for cheap, shall we?
