Earth Day special coupons and discounts!

Just because it is Earth Day, it doesn't mean you don't get to have fun shopping!

We already mentioned the free medium beverage at Peets Coffee shops with purchase of environmentally-friendly products.

But there's more! Walgreens is giving away free green bags with purchase! These are reusable totes, bright green but actually they are quite nice. Perhaps good to carry on cloudy and foggy days so cars can see you from a distance :-) You can get the coupon from their website or if you are in any of their mailing lists, check your email for a link to the coupon!

We will have more updates as we discover more exciting Earth Day specials!

+ 16oz coffee tumbler for $5
+ Big Earth-toned Tote bag for $9

Please note that the specials are only good on Wednesday, and they are only good in-store at your local Peet's coffee house!

Earth Day Cost Saving Ideas: Share a car!

FlexCar.com is one of a new breed of companies that allow you to share a car from a pool of available cars, for a fee. Instead of buying/owning/renting/leasing a car, you just use one of the cars from their pool of avialable vehicles. You do have to pay hourly fees, and a $35 annual fee.

Dare to compare the costs of owning/leasing vs flexing. Think of it as a time share! Available for either personal use or business use. Only available in some metro areas at the moment.
