Dutch Bros: $1 drinks when you donate 3 cans of food on Valentine’s Day

Shared on

Dutch Bros. is offering a sweet deal for Valentine's Day: Bring in 3 cans of food and get any 16 ounce drink for $1 on February 14. Note that this picture is from a Gresham, Oregon hut. Each Dutch Bros. is locally owned, so your location may or may not be participating in this promotion. UPDATE: Vancouver area huts are doing a FREE drink when you donate 5 cans. Again, I don't know for sure which Vancouver/Clark County locations are participating. I suggest you all just load your car with can goods and see what you can snag!

Shared on

Listerine 21-Day Challenge Listerine is once again hosting a 21-Day Challenge, an initiative to brush, floss and rinse with LISTERINE® Antiseptic twice a day for 21 days and I'm participating! I know that taking care of your teeth usually translates into lower dental bills, so I'm game. I always brush twice a day, but flossing is less frequent and I've never been a mouthwash girl, so I'm excited to see the difference in how my teeth feel after three weeks of consistent Listerine use. I headed to Target to pick up my Challenge supplies: LISTERINE® Antiseptic LISTERINE® SMART RINSE® LISTERINE® WHITENING® Original Gel Fluoride Anticavity Keep Reading

Grocery Outlet Deals for February + enter to win a $25 Grocery Outlet Gift Card

Shared on

Ready for more Grocery Outlet deals? I sent Laurie, our New Seasons expert, out in the snow to scope out the best deals she could find at her Grocery Outlet. The important thing to remember when shopping the Grocery Outlet is that their stock and prices continually change based on what deals they can get from manufacturers, so you will encounter a slightly different store each time you shop. When you spot a deal that you're excited about, that's the time to stock-up! There's no guarantee that the item will be there the next time you shop. Side note: The Grocery Outlet cannot accept manufacturer's coupons. Here are a few examples of the great Keep Reading
