Today’s Deals: Summer Gear, MP3s, and Free Food
Including great deals on beach towels, tote bags, water toys, and more. Plus, a free appetizer from Chili's and up to 50 percent off American Girl dolls.
I subscribe to the promotional emails of hundreds of companies so you don’t have to. I sift through 1,000 deal-touting emails every week. Most are worthless. But some offer valuable coupons, promo codes, sales, and freebies – which I collect and organize here and on our deals page.
