Starbucks: BOGO holiday drinks, Nov. 17-20.

Stop by Starbucks this week, November 17th through November 20th, 2011, between the hours of 2PM-5PM to get BOGO holiday drinks! Buy one and get one free.

This includes their Caramel Brulee Latte, Peppermint Mocha, and Gingerbread Latte, though you could probably sweet-talk them into including the caramel apple cider, because that's delicious.

A whole (new) slew of Veterans' Day freebies!

There are a TON of Veterans' Day freebies floating around on the Internets, and more industrious souls than I have already compiled them into some excellent mega-lists. Here's a good one from HeyIt'sFree.net, including lots of national chains — but it's always a good idea to call ahead to make sure your location is participating.

Happy Veterans' Day!

Seattle: Free Rudi's gluten-free loaf.

Hey Seattle gluten-haters, Rudi's Gluten-Free Bakery wants YOU to try a free loaf of their GF bread. Just like them on Facebook and fill out the form, and you'll receive a coupon for a free loaf. Don't worry, you can find the bread at regular groceries, not just weirdo hippie stores.

Seattle: Free Dick's cheeseburgers for vets on Nov. 11.

Here's a local freebie offer for Veterans' Day: Seattle fast-food chain Dick's is offering free hamburgers or cheeseburgers to veterans who show their military ID, or show up dressed in uniform. Add it to your list for tomorrow!

80% off Restaurant.com coupons.

Just in time for the start of the holiday gluttony season, here's a special from Restaurant.com for 80% off their dining-discount coupons. A $25-off coupon (usually off a minimum $35 check; see restaurant's restrictions) will run you $2 when you use promo code HAM.

This offer is good through Nov. 15. Shop wisely, and you should have enough coupons to see you through an entire season of festive get-togethers...

Veterans' Day: Free admission to national parks Nov. 11-13.

Here's another Veterans' Day freebie for you: from November 11-13, you can get free admission into any national park. You don't even have to be a veteran!

Many of our country's 396 national parks are already free to get into, but there are over 100 that normally charge admission that will be free this weekend. ROAD TRIP!

Barnes & Noble: 50% off list price on kids' picture books.

Well, it's official: Barnes & Noble is ready to step up and take Borders' discarded tiara as the king of coupons! (Maybe a tiara isn't sufficiently kingly?) Last week's 50% off coupon worked flawlessly at the store for me, so this coupon for 50% off kids' picture books should be equally smooth. (The printable coupon link is in the comments section.)

There's no stated limit for the number of books you can buy, so I think everybody on my list is getting a copy of The Very Hungry Caterpillar for Xmas this year. Don't tell!

Free 12-oz bag of Community Coffee.

After all those booze rebates, you might be in need of a coffee freebie, if you know what I'm saying. So how about a free 12-oz bag of Community Coffee?

Available at your local Target, apparently, and you have through the end of January to sober up and remember to claim your free bag.

Veterans' Day: Freebies for veterans and active servicemembers, Nov. 11.

Whew! This list is too long to try to recreate, so I'll just point you to HeyItsFree's excellent post on all the Veterans' Day freebies floating around on the Internets.

Some are for vets and some are only for active servicemembers, so check out the fine print as you're planning your freebie itinerary around town...

Get $10 back via mail-in rebate when you buy 2 bottles of Bacardi alcohol.

The Boozeday fun continues with a $10 rebate from Bacardi Rum. Get $10 back by mail when you buy any two bottles from the following list. You must purchase two different brands to receive the rebate, so this is your excuse to try that dubious flavored vodka or rum you've been eyeing at the store.

This offer is only valid in certain states, so as always with any mail-in rebate, make sure to read the fine print so you know you're crossing all the T's and dotting all the I's. That spells FREE BOOZE.

Get $8 back via mail-in rebate when you buy two bottles of select liquor.

Stocking up your bar for the holidays, or just looking for stocking stuffers? Give everyone's favorite gift — booze — and save $8 with this mail-in rebate when you buy two bottles of qualifying hooch.

"Purchase TWO bottles (750ml or larger) of the following spirits to receive $8 by mail. See rebate for details.


BAILEYS® Irish Cream Liqueur (Original or any flavor)
CAPTAIN MORGAN® Original Spiced Rum
CAPTAIN MORGAN LIME BITE
JOHNNIE WALKER® RED LABEL® Blended Scotch Whisky
JOSE CUERVO ESPECIAL® Tequila (Gold or Silver)
SMIRNOFF NO. 21™ Vodka (Red label or any flavor)
TANQUERAY® London Dry Gin


Limit one refund per household."

Barnes & Noble: 50% off list price of one book.

What's this? Is Barnes & Noble stepping into the coupon-parade shoes of the now-defunct Borders? Today they've got a fans-only promotion: click "Claim Coupon" to get your personalized coupon for 50% off the list price of one book.

Coupon expires Nov. 6, so use it fast if you're going to!

Free sample of John Frieda Full Repair 'poo and conditioner.

Here's a free 'poo and conditioner sample offer — if you're willing to wait for it. The offer is valid through Dec. 26, so they aren't going to start sending out freebies until then. Could be a while!

Then again, you'll need something to keep you going after the post-holiday-season crash. Free 'poo in your mailbox might just do it.

Veterans' Day: Free Everyday Value Slam at Denny's on 11/11.

UPDATE: Sorry, Seattle veterans, Denny's says this isn't for you!

Veterans, here's a freebie just for you: "All active, non-active, or retired military personnel can get a free Everyday Value Slam (2 eggs to order, 2 pancakes and either 2 bacon strips or 2 sausage links) at participating Denny's Restaurants. Available from 6 am until 2 pm on November 11, 2011, just show a valid military ID. Limit one per person, beverages not included. No substitutions."

Serve our country, get served breakfast.
