Washington: Up to $50 refund on booze.

Fellow Washingtonians who are feeling the pain of sticker shock after our state liquor stores were privatized this month, here's an offer that may help ease the sting: up to $50 in rebates when you buy booze. Here's a list of the qualifying brands, and as always with rebate forms, make sure to read the fine print carefully and follow the instructions.

Stock up for a summer's worth of parties, and drink responsibly!

Seattle: Free Woodland Park Zoo tix at Starbucks today, 3 pm.

OK, it's time for the grand finale of the Starbucks We-Love-You-Fridays promotion! Lucky Seattleites can stop into their local Starbucks today starting at 3 pm and get a free ticket to Woodland Park Zoo.

The ticket is valid between June 17 and July 31, which includes Father's Day, hint hint...

Facebook: Free Caswell-Massey almond aloe lotion sample.

Caswell-Massey is offering a free sample of their almond-aloe lotion when you "like" them on Facebook and fill out the request form. I've been kind of anti-scented-lotion lately, but almond and aloe seem pretty harmless, right?

Seattle: Free "Sister Act" screening tix today at 3 pm.

I almost forgot! The Starbucks freebie series continues this week with free tickets to a screening of "Sister Act" at the Paramount for you and three friends. You also have a chance to win tickets to the Broadway version that's coming in 2013.

I think I'll pass on this one, but next week is the free zoo tickets, so mark your calendars for that!

Free donut at Dunkin' Donuts w/beverage purchase, June 1.

Today is National Donut Day, as you may have heard, and Dunkin' Donuts is also participating, though not as generously as Krispy Kreme, which is just giving away a free donut of your choice. At Dunkin', you get a free donut with purchase of a beverage today, June 1.

Still, I hear Dunkin' Donuts coffee has a very loyal following, so this may not be a problem for their fans!
