We know that you all love us so much at Deals for Dayton and wish that you could take us on vacation with you and help you find local deals there too. While we can't do that, unless you REALLY want to bring us with you, we can give you some places that have some great freebies around the US. These deals are not available in the Dayton area, but they might just be where ever you are heading for vacation.

Bank of America Card Holders- get free general admission to several museums, science centers, zoos and more on the first full weekend of each month

National Parks- several national parks offer Fee-Free days throughout the year

Target Arts & Culture- Target sponsors free or reduced-price admission to arts and cultural events nationwide.

Groupon- discounted tickets, coupons and more. Check the city you are planning on visiting for great discounts.

If you are a Boonshoft, other Science Center or even Zoo cardholder, be sure to check out the list of reciprocal museums/zoos that are available. This allows you to get into other museums/ science centers/ zoos for FREE or greatly discounted rates! If your location is included in the list (ie- you hold a pass to the Boonshoft and it's included in the Science Center list) then you can go to any other location on the list also. We have passes to Union Terminal and have gone to 3 other museums around the US already thanks to the Reciprocal Program! In my opinion the Reciprocal Program makes buying a pass for any local museum well worth the money.

Association of Children's Museum

Association of Science- Technology Centers

Association of Zoos and Aquariums 

UPDATE: This Contest Is Now Closed. Congrats Jessi Scott

I have SO many friends right now that are either expecting or have just had a baby. So in honor of all you new Mommies and Daddies or soon to be parents this is for you!

There are lots of companies that send out great coupons, and information to new parents. I personally never used formula, but I always signed up for the samples and would give them to either friends or you can donate them to a Women's Center also. PS- I promise that to the best of my knowledge that these are REAL links for the freebies and NOT for junk mail- I took the links directly from the sites.

Enfamil Family Beginnings- up to $250 in free coupons and samples
Similac Strong Moms- formula coupons, samples and pregnancy newsletters
Members's Mark- formula sample
American Baby Magazine- free magazine from Parents Magazine (just smaller and FREE) lol!
Baby Talk Magazine- free magazine from Parenting Magazine (just smaller and FREE)

Are there other's that you know of that we're missing? Let us know!

Have you heard about Groupon? You can purchase services or gift certificates for different business establishments for greatly reduced prices- up to 90% in fact! The deals change every day, so if you think you want an offer it's better to buy it sooner than later- items also can sell out if you wait too long. Check the "Recent Offers" tab to see what offers have been available for your location in the past. (Some of the "Recent Offers" for Cincinnati have been from- florists, massages, dentists, resturants, handyman services, skydiving classes)

It's completely FREE to sign up for this program. They email every time there is a new offer in your area, which is only a few times a week. The only catch is that there have to be enough people wanting to buy the "Daily Deal" before it is activated. So when you find a great deal share it with your friends! If you "BUY" an item and not enough people sign up, the deal is cancelled- you will not be charged for cancelled deals.  This is a great program that lets you try out that restaurant or business that you've been wondering about or a quick fun gift for a friend. If you like getting discounts on entertainment you better sign up now! (And for those of you with iPhones- there's an app)

Sign up to receive FREE magazines from Mercury Magazine. Choose up to 3 FREE magazines of your choice from hundreds of magazines. There is no purchase necessary, no credit card required and no strings attached. I've signed up for SEVERAL magazine from them and have never gotten a bill. The magazines you are offered initially are based upon your job information you put in. You do get offered renewal notices and stuff, but I just ignore them. Right now it's mostly business magazines, but once you sign up they send you emails when there are new magazine out. I've gotten magazines like Cosmo, Midwest Living, Women's Day, Ski and many others. This really is FREE, so sign up! (Although if you have a junk email address I would use that.)
