Seattleites, this sounds like a great event and I wish I could go! Looking for something new to read, and/or want to make some space on your double-parked bookshelves? Hugo House is holding a book swap tonight from 5:30 to 8:00 pm.
The deal is, you bring two books and put them in the pool, and that entitles you to pick out one book and take it home. Everybody wins! Extra books left over at the end of the night will be donated to Friends of the Seattle Public Library (most likely to be sold in their fundraising semi-annual sales), so they win too.
This is a nice little free social mixer thing for Hugo House to be doing, so consider buying a happy hour drink while you're there to support them, too.

Waffle House: Free slice of pie.
I keep posting these Waffle House freebies even though we don't have any in Washington... isn't that sad? I guess I'm just mesmerized by the endless parade of free hash browns, waffles, OJ, coffee, and now pie that they represent.
Print your coupon and cash it in for a free slice of pie through Feb. 16. No purchase necessary.

Tanga: Shape subscription for $3.
Tanga's back with another hot deal on a magazine subscription... just $3 buys you a whole year of Shape magazine. Use top-secret promo code SHAPE to get the discount when you check out. Granted, an entire magazine devoted to health issues may not sound all that great, but a friend of mine has been a long-time subscriber and she swears by it, so who knows, maybe just signing up for it will make you lose 10 lbs. Couldn't hurt to try!

Seattle: Free Zumba classes in February.
I've been hearing a lot about this Zumba craze that's sweeping the nation, and it kind of sounds fun. An hour-long dance party that magically burns away the calories? Sign me up!
Of course, all these exercise class memberships can be expensive, and it's a big commitment when you don't even know that you'll like it. So I was happy to see that Seattle's Dance Underground is offering free Zumba classes every Saturday in February. No registration is required — it's a drop-in class, first come first serve. They just ask that you fill out a health release form and bring it in to expedite things. JAZZ HANDS!

Borders: 33% off coupon, free shipping online.
Borders has some exciting deals today, whether you're shopping online or in-store. There's a 33% coupon like always, and they're also offering free shipping with no minimum purchase (through Feb. 3). Use promo code SNOWGO for regular shipping, or SNOWBOX if you're shipping to a P.O. box.
Apparently Borders has opted not to pay its landlords and vendors for the second month in a row, though, so if you've got a gift card, RIGHT NOW would be a good time to use it.

Facebook: Free pack of Stride Upgrade gum.
Stride Gum is offering another free pack when you "like" them on Facebook and fill out the form. It looks pretty extreme to me! If you can handle it, I think you should sign up for a sample pack.
Amazon magazines: Spend $20, get $10.
Amazon has another magazine promotion this week: when you spend $20 in their Magazine Store, you'll get a bonus $10 store credit good through Mar. 4. And it's not like you can't find something to buy on there between now and then, right?
To help you hit your spending goal, they have a selection of 2 for $15 and 2 for $20 subscriptions on sale now. Here's the fine print, but it seems pretty straightforward; looks like you can even combine multiple orders to qualify. If your mailbox has been feeling a little lonely, there's nothing like some fun magazines to cheer it up and give it a sense of purpose...
