ENERGY STAR Appliance & Home Improvement Tax Exemption Holiday for Texas ~ May 28-30

Posted on May 24, 2011 | Leave a comment

Please pass along to anyone in the home improvement market…

Good News! During Memorial Day weekend, Texas shoppers get a break from
sales tax on purchases of some appliances and energy-efficient products like refrigerators and clothes washers ~ even lightbulbs! This is a great way to get an extra “discount” and save on future energy costs if you are in the market for any of these items.

The products qualifying for the tax exemption are:

Refrigerators priced at $2,000 or less (college dorm-sized refrigerators even qualify)!
Ceiling fans
Incandescent and fluorescent light bulbs
Clothes washers
Dishwashers
Dehumidifiers
Energy Star Labeled Programmable thermostats
Air conditioners priced at $6,000 or less

The 2011 sales tax holiday begins on Saturday, May 28, and ends
on Monday, May 30 (Memorial Day Weekend).

Qualifying products will need to display the ENERGY STAR logo. The discount can also apply to delivery and installation fees and there is no limit on the number of qualifying items one can purchase during this sales tax holiday.

To find out more, go to the Texas comptroller’s site, here.

P.S. Be sure to check out this extra savings tip: Pop over to Amazon’s Energy Star Appliance Rebate finder page (go here & look for the Energy Star Logo link in the left column). They have an easy to search database of Energy Star rebates on qualified products, as well as recycling incentives for the proper disposal of old products.

50% OFF Barbecue at Cousin’s Bar-B-Q with Today’s Groupon ~ Just in Time for Memorial Day Picnics!

Posted on May 17, 2011 | Leave a comment

Lots of great Groupons have been coming out lately! We love Cousin’s BBQ and their smoked turkey is fantastic. If you like BBQ, don’t miss out on today’s Groupon which will get you more than half off on your meal.

50% OFF At Cousin’s Barbecue Restaurants!

Groupon has launched a savings offer of 50% OFF Cousin’s BBQ with 5 locations to choose from. When you buy today’s Groupon for $7, you will get a $15 gift certificate valid on anything on the menu.

There is a limited quantity of these gift certificates available, so you might not want to wait if you plan to take advantage of this.

Use the certificate anytime through September 30, 2011.

How to get the Offer:

Go here to sign up for today’s 50% OFF deal.
Select Fort Worth as Your Groupon City
Buy your Groupon before the end of the day.
You do have until September 30th to use your Groupon, but since
there is a limited quantity of these certificates available, I would
recommend not waiting too long to make your purchase.

New to Groupon? You are in for a treat!

A few months ago, Groupon launched its Fort Worth site (AND we
did the happy dance at Frugal in Fort Worth!). If you are not familiar with
Groupon, definitely take a moment to check them out.

Groupon offers a daily deal on local goods, services and cultural events
across the country. I’ve seen their local offers include everything from
50% Off Cowboys Stadium Tour, 50% Off Nordstrom Rack to 75% Off
window cleaning ~ and seemingly everything in between! I’ve even bought
Groupon deals in other cities as a way to save on restaurant dining and
entertainment when we travel.

Here’s how it works:

1. Each day Groupon features a great deal at an unbeatable price.

2. You have to sign up for the offer that day, and only get the deal
if the minimum number of people join that day (so pass this along
to your friends)!

3. Check back the next day to discover the next Groupon offer (or sign up for their emails to have them delivered to your inbox)!

Taking advantage of this deal supports Frugal in Fort Worth.

Enjoy and Share! :)

Runners, Don’t Miss Out On Today’s Groupon ~ 50% OFF Fort Worth Running Company

Posted on May 12, 2011 | Leave a comment

I just purchased this groupon, and wanted to make sure my readers saw this, too (a pretty rare savings deal for a great running store)…

50% OFF At the Ft Worth Running Company Store!

Groupon has launched a savings offer of 50% OFF Running Apparel and Accessories at the Fort Worth Running Company. When you buy today’s Groupon for $25, you will get a $50 gift certificate valid in-store and usable on just about anything.

Get fitted for exercise shoes for FREE, too! If you have never been fitted properly for running/walking shoes, this is a good time to have that done. Fort Worth Running Company employs real-time, slow-motion video analysis to dissect individual gaits before fitting you for shoes. The analysis is FREE, so when you combine that with today’s groupon, it’s really a great deal and an investment in injury prevention.

There is a limited quantity of these gift certificates available, so you might not want to wait if you plan to take advantage of this.

Use the certificate anytime through August 14th, 2011.
