Last Minute Travel
It’s not always the early bird that gets the worm. Sometimes those late to the game can get some pretty sweet deals too. LastMinuteTravel.com is making last minute vacation plans affordable with their $10 Tuesdays!

How does it work? New hotel deals in a variety of destinations will be unveiled on LastMinuteTravel.com every Tuesday. Each listing will include specifics on the property, the description, star rating and amenities, as well as the location and proximity to popular attractions – all but the proper name.

Travel dates for most of the LastMinuteTravel.com $10 Tuesdays offerings will be dates within four weeks, based on room availability within inventory ranging from 5-25 rooms each night.

If you’re heading to NYC, Atlanta, or Montreal soon, you should definitely check it out!

And while you’re there, check out the Staycations Suck giveaway for the chance to win the vacation of your choice up to $6,000! Now we all know staycations don’t really suck – they can be a nice change of pace – but if you can win a free one, why not?

Post Selects $0.25 Per Box

If you’re following me on Twitter, you may have seen my tweet bemoaning the price my husband paid for a box of cereal while we were on vacation last week.

(You probably also know that I broke my foot skimboarding, got our SUV stuck on the beach, and got fined big time for setting off fireworks . . . an eventful vacation it was!)

Anyhow, all of this is to say that I’m here to save you from the same horrible fate – of overspending on cereal at least.

Starting this Friday 8/14 through 9/6 there’s a great Catalina promotion at Albertsons on Post Selects Cereal.

Old Navy Weekly Coupons
I’ve got a small treat for you all courtesy of a lovely reader named Marci. Marci’s won’t be using her $50/$100 Old Navy purchase coupon, so she asked me to pass it on to one deserving Deal Seeking Mom reader.
I’ve heard rumors that there are some fantastic kids’ clearance sales going on!

This coupon expires tomorrow 8/13, so we’re going to make this quick and easy. Leave a comment to enter. Enter as many times as you wish. My only stipulation is I ask that you please do not enter unless you know that you absolutely will use this coupon given the very short timeframe you have to spend it!

I will close the comments and draw a winner at 9 a.m. EST tomorrow (Thursday) morning. I already have the coupon in my possession, so I will forward it to the lucky winner immediately!
