Deals, Discounts and Promotions: Free Frozen Yogurt, $2 Car rentals and 30% off Gap Denim

I've been posting a little bit lightly this week because I was under the weather. My family is a mess, actually. This week has been full of lice and vomit and in the middle of it all my daughter has been taking all her middle school entrance exams, but that's another story. Anyway, I have some fun deals, discounts and promotions to share, but I know some people that get this in their email tomorrow are going to miss the Pinkberry promotion and be annoyed that I didn't post it yesterday, so I just wanted to explain why.

Free Pinkberry Frozen Yogurt. Pinkberry is launching their new flavor, Mad about Mango, with happy hour celebrations today, Friday, March 12, 2010 from 5 to 9 p.m.—so grab the kids and bring them down to receive a free 3 oz. MINI serving of Pinkberry’s mango or mango swirl with all the toppings that can fit in the cup. There will also be music, in-store games, and giveaways. Some stores in Manhattan include: 32nd Street, Hell's Kitchen, Columbus Circle, and Union Square. To find the closest Pinkberry, go to www.Pinkberry.com/storelocations.

$2 Car Rentals. For the month of March you can rent a Smart Car from Connect by Hertz for $2 an hour with unlimited mileage, no fuel costs and no insurance charges.  Connect by Hertz is the Zip Car competitor where you can rent by the hour. You have to be a Connect by Hertz member, which costs $50 a year to take advantage of these rates, but no code is needed. Members need to log in, enter the dates and then sort by car model (“Smart”) to find the garages with vehicles available.

30% off Gap Denim. Through Sunday, March 14, 2010, if you bring your old denim in to a Gap store you get 30% off your entire purchase of new denim. I tried this out this week. Most of jeans are reasonably priced at $59 and with 30% come down to about $40. I turned in my worn out jeans and got two new pairs. Good for mens and kids also. Find store Gap locations.
