Ways to save on and off line

Dooney & Bourke Warehouse Sale

For those of us who love quality leather bags, accessories, sometimes even clothing come to the famous tent sale (discounts typically start around 40%; small items can be as low as $10). Many people travel far and wide for this sale. The sale has moved online due to COVID 19

Happy Hour @ Kazu

In the mood for sushi but don't want to spend a lot? Kazu, a mainstay in South Norwalk for many years, has a great happy hour special. Monday-Thursday 5-7 p.m. It features a variety of specials priced $4-6 including sushi, skewers, tempura, edaname, dumplings and more. Also drink specials. Great authentic Japanese food (not a chain place).

Groupon

Groupon has many categories worth checking out. They also often run deals like the one here which offer extra savings. When buying goods always check other sites such as Amazon to see if the "deal" is really that good.

Here's a link to get started.

Sweet Deals

Check the Sweet deals section of the Sweet Jack website. Sweet Jack tends to be national deals but in Sweet Deals you can focus on Bridgeport, Danbury etc. Be sure to check the "last chance" deals. Warning: if the place goes out of business you are out of luck.

Amazon Local

A newer player in the deal game Amazon also offers deals on restaurants, concerts and getaways. These deals sometimes sell out so act quickly if you want something.

Living Social

Living Social was the first deal site to appear in the landscape. Worth checking out too. I have spent more money on Groupon as it tends to offer me more of what I like.

Greenwich Town Party

Love Live Music? The Greenwich Town Party is a great, family friendly event. This year the headliner is Eric Clapton. Last year the lineup included Steely Dan and Preservation Hall Jazz Band. In the past I have seen Tedeschi Trucks, John Fogerty, Hall & Oates, CJ Chenier, Santana, Earth Wind and Fire, Sharon Jones, James Taylor, Michael Franti, The Fab Faux and many more. Since tix are only sold to Greenwich residents and businesses, and they often sell out, a great way to get in is to volunteer. Sign up now. Typically an easy volunteer job--just 4 hours and you're done. 5/26/18
