Borders: 20% off entire purchase.

Well, to be specific, it says "20% off most items," but that seems to just mean things like electronics and gift cards that are always excluded from coupons anyway.

Did you know my birthday is coming up? Just saying.

Seattle: Adopt an animal for free at the Animal Shelter.

This might be the first time we've had a pet freebie — as in, free pets, not freebies for pets. The Seattle Animal Shelter is apparently way over capacity right now, so they're encouraging people to adopt by waiving their usual $130-200 fees. All you pay is a 2-year pet license, about $27.

"The free adoption package includes initial vaccinations, deworming, feline leukemia testing for cats, a certificate for a free health exam by a local veterinarian, the spaying or neutering, and a microchip."


This offer is good through July 3, so if you're looking to add a furry friend to your life and do a good deed, head on over!

The 4th of July is coming up... and the 40% off Borders coupon is here! Depending on your plans, now might be an excellent time to pick up a BBQ cookbook, some U.S. history, or a how-to guide on home firework construction. OK, maybe not that last one.

Borders: 30% off coupon.

Yeah, I know, a 30% off coupon for Borders is a bit of a snooze, but sometimes you've got to work with what you've got. Maybe there's something more intriguing waiting for us out on the Internets!

Free Nivea Touch of Cashmere body wash sample.

OK, so a touch of cashmere might have sounded a bit more welcome a few months ago, when we were all shivering in our sweaters and drinking tea just to stay warm. (Of course, that's still the case here in Seattle, harrumph.) But this is the kind of cashmere you can wear all year long! Try a free sample of Nivea Touch o' Cashmere body wash.

Seattle: Free Seattle Art Museum ticket at Starbucks, today at 3 pm.

Here's a special freebie that's just for Seattle... Starbucks is giving away free Seattle Art Museum tickets today at 3:00 pm, at participating Seattle locations (which basically means all of them). It doesn't say, but it's probably one per person, so play nice and share! 

No purchase is necessary, but it's always nice to buy a little something and/or tip your barista in exchange for the free ticket. Those things usually cost like $20, you know!

Borders: 25% off toys and games.

Father's Day is getting pretty close now — Sunday, June 19 — but Borders can help with their 25% off coupon. History and military buff dads can enjoy a game of Risk; word nerd dads will appreciate Scrabble or Bananagrams; and logical math dads can settle in with a nice, boring sudoku or an electronic blackjack game.

Too bad you can't just send them all flowers like you can on Mother's Day, right?

Borders: 30% off coupon.

Father's Day is coming up on Sunday, June 19, and Borders conveniently has a 30% off coupon this week. What dad wouldn't like some armchair reading, a movie or TV series, or some new music to remind him he's still relevant?

I like to get my dad financial magazines, so he can enjoy a year's worth of tips on lecturing me about saving money and spending responsibly. It's the gift that keeps on giving.

Borders: 40% off coupon.

Here's that 40% off Borders coupon you've been waiting for. I wish they were valid on games, since those tend to be kind of expensive and this coupon would certainly help. Oh well, it's probably better karma to buy from our local Card Kingdom anyway...

Restaurant.com certificates 80% off.

I just used one of these Restaurant.com certificates last week and it worked like a charm, so now is a good time to stock up again (although they never expire, which is nice too). Get 80% off dining coupons at Restaurant.com — meaning a $25-off coupon will cost you about $2, and a $10-off coupon will cost about $1.

Use promo code DEAL at checkout. Offer is valid thru Monday, June 13, so you'll have plenty of time to plan your summer dining goals. If only there was a "restaurants with patios" search filter...

Borders: 30% off coupon.

30% off one item is a little weak, Borders. I think you can do better than that... what do you say?

IKEA: Free breakfast for dads on Father's Day, June 19.

IKEA offered free breakfast for mom on Mother's Day, so it's only fair that they're kicking down free breakfast for dads on Father's Day, June 19. Thrifty dads will enjoy fluffy scrambled eggs served with a side of hash browns, scrumptious bacon, plus a hot cup of coffee.

One free dad per table, so plan your checkout-line groupings accordingly.

Oh, 'poo! Or rather, 'poo and Target - two of my favorite things wrapped up neatly into one freebie. Fill out the short questionnaire to get your free sample of Garnier Fructis Anti-Dandruff 'poo. Target's usually pretty fast with the samples, so although they say 4 to 6 weeks, I bet you'll see it sooner.

OK, that's not quite as free as the no-strings-attached Krispy Kreme offer, but you need something to wash that frosting and grease down with, right?
