Step healthy
Maybe your doctor doesn’t make house calls, but you don’t have to pay a penny to spend quality time with a physician — if you’re willing to take a stroll. Once a month, rain or shine, physicians with National Jewish Health give a 10-minute talk on a health topic. Then, they lead an easy 1-mile walk while answering any medical questions on your mind. The next “Walk with a Doc” is Oct. 19 at 8 a.m. at Bible Park (off Yale between Monaco & Quebec in Denver, meet near the baseball diamond). Everyone gets free coffee and breakfast, as well as free blood pressure checks.
Free e-cycling, even tvs
It’s easy to be green and recycle electronics, even old TVs, at a free Aurora recycling event on Oct. 19. From noon to 3 p.m., Techno+Rescue’s recycling trucks will be in the Havana Exchange parking lot in front of Bicycle Village at 2822 S. Havana St. (southeast corner of Yale & Havana). There’s no charge to dump off your PCs, CPUs, towers, laptops, notebooks, cellphones, office phones, monitors, keyboards, printers, copiers, fax machines, mice, cables, compact fluorescent bulbs, clothing, and yes, televisions of all sizes. Have a stack of personal documents you need destroyed? Free secure shredding is also available and unlike some shred-a-thons, there’s no limit on quantity. Volunteers will be on hand to help unload your vehicle.
Sew what?
Crafty types of all ages will love this monster of a deal. Jo-Ann Fabric and Craft Stores hosts it’s next free Simple Sunday Make It-Take It on Oct. 20. Starting at 2 p.m., create puppets inspired by the characters in the film, “Monsters University”, with the help of Jo-Ann staffers. We’re partial to the oh-so-cute, one-eyed Mike. The event lasts as long as supplies do, or until 3 p.m.
Each Monday, Laura & Bryan at compile “Cheap Checklist” to help cheapskates find deals, discounts and freebies. Know of a deal? E-mail info@ 10 to 14 days in advance.
