Changing habits isn't easy, and what happens when you can't decide on a gym? That's when you try before you buy.</p><p>It is common for gyms to offer free day passes, but several have upped the ante by offering a free week of exercise. The grand prize, however, goes to 24-Hour Fitness, with a 14-day pass that is <span style="font-style: italic;">not</span> easy to find on their site. (That's why you have me to dig it up for you.)<br /></p><p><a href="https://www.24hourfitness.com/PromoOfferHome.do?promoCode=AFFIL14DAY"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 20px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 300px;" src="http://www.sxc.hu/pic/m/c/ct/ctr/833152_gym_6.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><span style="font-weight: bold;">24-Hour Fitness</span><br /><a href="https://www.24hourfitness.com/PromoOfferHome.do?promoCode=AFFIL14DAY">14-day affiliate pass</a><br /></p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;">Bally Fitness</span><br /><a href="http://www.ballyfitness.com/get-started/guest-pass/free-guest-pass.aspx">7-day guest pass</a><br /></p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;">Golds Gym</span><br /><a href="http://goldsgym.regsignup.com/fl3/lp3/?partnerID=5&partnerValue=GoldsGym_Promotions&utm_campaign=20080617_GoldsGym_Promotions_7dayTrial&utm_medium=Promotions&utm_source=GoldsGym&utm_content=7dayTrial&utm_term=none">7-day membership<br />1 free class<br /></a></p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;">Crunch Gym</span><br /><a href="https://www.crunch.com/Crunch/Try%20Us%20Out.aspx?offer=7">7-day guest pass</a></p><p><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">For more free passes and membership deals in the S.F.

Zoya surpassed its goal of 20,000 fans on Facebook and is giving away bottles of nail polish. Not just one, but three!<br /></p><p>Click over to <a href="http://zoya.com/">zoya.com</a> and choose from hundreds of shades, then use code FB2011 at checkout. The offer is valid in the continental U.S. from January 3 to January 7 at 11:59pm ET.<br /></p><p>I didn't know where to begin, so I clicked the <a href="http://zoya.com/content/38/category/Zoya_Nail_Polish_Finder.html">Zoya Color Finder</a>, and what a surprise! I felt like I was perusing paint swatches for the walls of my new home. Search for the perfect shade by specifying the color family and choosing between cream and metallic. I still can't seem to narrow it down to three.<br /></p><p>There is one catch to be aware of: the offer does not include the cost of standard shipping, which is $6.95. Each bottle is valued at $7 each, so consider it a threefer. But like my friend Julie says, "hell, that's still cheap for 3 bottles of polish." Very true, thanks Joolz!</p><p><br /></p><div class="blogger-post-footer">I'm a single girl living in an expensive world, and my life is one giant bargain.</div>Miss Bargainistahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01930930670628220906noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3962772700836047875.post-944783386792357442011-01-01T15:52:00.000-08:002011-01-02T19:20:09.842-08:00Free birthday gift from Sephora for 2011<img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 130px;" src="http://a248.g.akamai.net/7/248/8278/20060127191439/www.sephora.com/assets/dyn/product/P91103/P91103_hero.jpg" alt="" border="0" /><p>It's a new year and time for a new gift at Sephora.

Overspending on rinky dink gifts is the usual punishment for waiting so long, but not this year. ExtraCare Reward members who <a href="http://www.facebook.com/CVS#%21/CVS?v=app_161582440546564">like CVS on Facebook</a> by December 23 can print a coupon for 20% off their entire purchase through December 26.</p><p>Then, enter your membership number and the coupon will be emailed to you, then print it for use in stores. Don't know your card number? Look it up <a href="https://www.cvs.com/CVSApp/user/extracare/extracare.jsp">online</a>. No membership at all? Signing up online won't help, since the cards will be mailed within 2 weeks. I'd suggest stopping by CVS, signing up for a card, then heading home to print your coupon, and returning to CVS. That's my plan since I can't seem to find my card anywhere. (Yes, procrastinators can also be space cadets.)</p><div class="blogger-post-footer">I'm a single girl living in an expensive world, and my life is one giant bargain.</div>Miss Bargainistahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01930930670628220906noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3962772700836047875.post-78309192970724170212010-12-19T12:11:00.000-08:002010-12-19T12:23:09.610-08:00Amazon Deal of the Day: 75% off outerwear<img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 170px;" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41y7YWN01DL._SL246_SX190_CR0,0,190,246_.jpg" alt="" border="0" /><p>There's no doubt that winter is here, causing our fashion priorities to suddenly shift.
