Postman’s Day - Now, today is Postman’s Day which is usually celebrated in Mexico. However, I’ve decided to use the inspiration of this holiday and talk more about the phrase than the actual holiday in Mexico. Perhaps you’ve heard this saying once or twice when the weather is a bit iffy. For example, if it’s sunny then cloudy with showers, someone would say it’s a “Postman’s Day,” because of the changes in weather they have to deal with while on the job. I have tons of respect for postmen. They’re out there in rain or shine (and blizzard) weather, walking from house to house, delivering your mail. And, they sometimes get attacked by pesky dogs. Today on Postman’s Day, look outside and see if you’re having a “Postman’s Day.” If you see your postman, offer him an umbrella or hot coffee or tea. I always give my postman a cold bottle of water in the blistering summer, so a hot coffee would be perfect in the winter! Speaking of, check out CoffeeForLess so your cupboards can always be stocked with delicious coffee and tea. Save 6% on discount gourmet coffees, teas and brewers when you use CoffeeForLess coupons.

National Pizza with Everything (Except Anchovies) Day - You got that right! How many times were you asked, “How would you like your pizza?” And you responded by saying, “Anything goes, except anchovies!” Well, I know that this rings true for many people, including me! Yuck…anchovies? Talk about killing the taste of pizza (which is my favorite by the way). Well, who am I to talk? Every time I order pizza, I order the same boring thing. I give props to those who can handle the taste of anchovies and still enjoy pizza for what it is…delicious! Pizza is truly a dish that reflects what type of person you are. If you’re adventurous, you’re going to get the works. I’m talking pepperoni, peppers, cheese, olives, pineapple and chicken. If you’re a plain Jane like me, you’re more likely to have one or two toppings. So in a sense, today is really a day where you get to really think about what you want on your pizza. Celebrate today by checking out Restaurant.com. Save 60% on $25 gift certificates and locate a pizza restaurant of your choice in your own neighborhood using Restaurant.com coupons.

Ask a Stupid Question Day - It’s so hard not to laugh at today’s holiday because I’m the queen of stupid pointless questions! Not that I do it on purpose, I just ask wayyy too many questions for my own good that it sometimes gets annoying. Teachers used to encourage kids in my class to ask questions since someone else might be thinking the same thing; however, no one ever did. Now that I’m not a student, I’ve become such a perfectionist (and I’m sure many of you are too) that making mistakes is out of the question for me. Now, the funny thing about today’s holiday is where it’s situated on the calendar…the end of September. And what happens in this month? That’s right, the kids went back to school! So, this day is usually celebrated on the last day of school in September as a sort of tongue in cheek to the whole “going back to school” concept. Are you wondering how we should celebrate today’s holiday? Well, maybe I can answer all your questions before you think them. Like, “Stars, where can I find deals on name brand designer apparel?” At Smart Bargains, that’s where! Save 10% on discount D&G, Versace and Louis Vuitton shoes, bags and accessories when you use Smart Bargains coupons. 

Hug a Vegetarian Day - What a great day and way to thank all those vegetarians who have the willpower to do what most meat lovers would die before doing - giving up meat for life. I tried to become a vegetarian once. Here’s how it happened: I once ate at my favorite fast food place and got food poisoning. I then began reading a really popular health book that explained the process of slaughtering animals (I know, there’s no gentle way to say it). This turned me off to meat products completely. Unfortunately, it didn’t last too long; however, I did decide to only eat white meat like chicken from then on. I commend all those vegetarians who choose this lifestyle and think more about the animals than their cravings. So today we should honor the holiday and give a big ol’ hug to the vegetarian we know and say THANKS! Now here’s where you can really be put to the test, head over to Restaurant.com, find a restaurant of your choice and see if you can stay away from ordering any meat. First save up to 60% on $25 gift certificates at a restaurant near you when you use Restaurant.com coupons.

Be Late for Something Day - What is this world coming to? Isn’t it important to show punctuality and preparedness in your day-to-day meetings and um that little thing called WORK? It’s not like you can non-chalantly walk in at whatever time you feel like it. I totally disagree with today’s holiday! Not to float my own boat, I have to say that I am pretty punctual when it comes to important things. Unfortunately for me, all the close people in my life are always SOOO LATE that it drives me bananas when I make plans with them. We have dates and times for a reason, people! This holiday almost wants to make me be late for a date I set with someone just so they can go through what I do every time they’re late. Except I won’t because I hate being late for anything…I feel so lost when I do! Today, to all the people out there who are known for their tardiness, I say you check out Palm Beach Jewelry for functional and stylish watches. Save 15% on Bulova, Marc Ecko and Baby Phat watches when you use Palm Beach Jewelry coupons and spend $150 or more. What are you waiting for…you’re going to be late!

Cheese Pizza Day - Friends, how could you not know this about me…I LOVE PIZZA. Cheese pizza, pepperoni pizza…I’ll eat it all! I went through a phase in high school where I’d only eat cheese pizza, with extra cheese. My current phase which has lasted five years is green peppers and pepperoni and of course…cheese! You may disagree with my toppings of choice; however, I bet you can’t disagree when I say that cheese pizza is one of those classic American meals that bring you back to your youth. Remember the good ol’ days when every weekend you and your friends would go out for pizza? I do and I sure do miss it! I’m going to assume you’ve had one or two cheese pizzas in your lifetime. Today is no different. I say you relive your youth by going out for cheese pizza with your best pals just like you used to do every Friday night. Head to Restaurant.com and find a restaurant of your choice in and around your area and eat for less! Use Restaurant.com coupons and save up to 60% on a cheese pizza dinner and receive $25 certificates for $10 for the next week!

There’s nothing quite like preparing a delicious meal. The only thing better would be if someone else made it for you, and you got to just kick up your feet and savor each bite. Well now it’s not nearly as expensive as you might imagine, especially if you head to Restaurant.com by August 31.

When you use the free Restaurant.com coupons, you’ll enjoy these two succulent deals:

Black Cow Root Beer Float Day - One word: MmMmMmM!!! Can I just say I love ANY kind of drink topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream! This past weekend I had an iced cappuccino with vanilla ice cream AND a dollop of whipped cream. HELLO!!! Brown or black cow, root beer floats as they are most commonly known are heavenly. When you think about it, it’s such an odd combination…root beer and ice cream? I’m pretty sure the massive amounts of sugar in black cows were purposely designed to keep the youth hyper and energetic.  All this talk about black cows is making me want to make one myself! You know what goes great with a black cow root float? A burger and friends, of course! For a restaurant near you, head over to Restaurant.com. Take advantage of up to 60% savings on your next discounted meal when you get $25 restaurant gift certificates for only $4! Now there’s a great gift idea! Do it all for less by using Restaurant.com coupons.

Sandcastle and Sculpture Day - If fun at the beach isn’t the first thing you think of when you see the words sandcastles and sculptures in the same sentence, then you REALLY need to get out to the beach more often. Playing in the sand is a great childhood pastime. My favorite memory of playing in the sand takes me back to a family vacation in Florida in which I covered my mom in sand up to her neck while she was sleeping on the beach. Boy, was she ever upset! I know I gave you a hard time about not making it to the beach that often; however, the sad part is I’ve only been once this summer. There’s never enough time, is there? Well, if you feel like me, then you should gather the family together and head to the beach. Before you do anything else, check out HearthSong for great deals on beach toys. Take advantage of savings up to 70% on discounted beach buckets, scoops, shovels and water toys when you apply HearthSong coupons towards your purchase!
