Today’s Deals: Gift Ideas, Free Makeup, Free Music
Free country music downloads, free Clinique makeup samples, plus great deals on headphones, candles, lingerie, Bath & Body Works products, and other gift ideas.

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.
Note: Expiration dates are in brackets.
With Black Friday less than two weeks away, a good deal can seem harder to find – and may be worth waiting for till Nov. 23 nears – but we’ve rounded up a few worth checking out…
