Deal Technology and FREE Jeans

I am not one to get excited about new technology, but when it involves easy access to deals then consider me a step closer to geekyness. I had never been so satisfied with my smartphone purchase as when I was introduced to Foursquare and learned that I could access coupons simply by "checking in." Now Facebook is offering a similar feature. To learn more, click here. This page also has a list of participating national businesses (scroll about halfway down the page).

Gap is aboard the Facebook Deals train by offering a chance to get FREE pair of jeans this Friday, Nov. 5 (up to $59.50 value). To take advantage of this deal, be one of the first at your choice of Gap store to check in on Facebook on Friday. Show a store employee that you've checked in and you'll get your FREE pair.

Stores only have limited quantities, so if you're too late you'll get a pretty good consolation prize: 40% OFF a regularly priced item.

FREE Coffee Fridays

I am often irked when a man just takes me out to coffee on a first date. Although I don't think I'd reconsider my opinion if he took advantage of this particular promotion, I'd appreciate his deal awareness. Burger King will give out FREE coffee during breakfast hours on Fridays in November.

Offer is valid for a 12-oz. cup of Seattle's Best Coffee. Flavor shots or whipped topping is not included.

No purchase is necessary, but if you're taking a date during the promotion, purchase is most definitely necessary for a chance of a second date.
