4. Peapod by Stop & Shop
I have yet to use this service, but many of my friends swear by it. They have launched a new online campaign called FANtastic Deals, a new deal is announced on their Facebook page every Monday. This week’s deal is save $5 when purchasing $20 of breakfast products. Also, there is a coupon code to save $10 on my next order because I “liked” their Facebook page.
5. Like No Udder Ice Cream Truck
Isn’t it funny how when you first learn about something suddenly that something is all over the place? This happens to me all the time. While perusing Facebook for deals to share here, I saw this dairy free & vegan ice cream truck advertised. I thought that was pretty cool since I have some friends that eat this way, and it’s so hard for them to eat out much less in something so exciting as the ice cream truck. What I thought was really cool is they have a GPS tracker on their website, so you can see up to the minute locations of where they are. Still, not a deal to share here. But, I refresh my email and what is the Living Social deal of the day? $10 of treats from Like No Udder for only $5! It’s meant to be- go and find the purple ice cream truck!
