Chill out
Grab a friend, two straws and head over to 7-Eleven for a really cool deal. Through Sept. 18, the convenience store is offering a buy-one-get-one free Slurpee, good on any size. Choose from an array of flavors, sweet to sour, as well as sugar-free versions. Limit one per customer, while supplies last. With so many locations, finding one on your travels should be easy. The ensuing brain freeze is also free.
Clean up
Clean up this weekend with a sudsy sale. From Sept. 16 to 18, Whole Foods Market is holding a rare sale on GoodSoap by Alaffia — just $1 a bar (regularly $2.49). Choose from coconut- or shea-based soaps in a variety of scents, including lavender, rose, wild strawberry, vanilla honey, green tea, oatmeal and more. If you’re feeling generous, buy an extra bar or two, as all 10 Denver locations will be accepting soap donations for the Colorado Coalition for the Homeless. The sale soap is available while supplies last, so get there early to shower yourself with savings.
