Aspen & Austin: New Deal Site MooLaLa

Yeah, they’re a dime a dozen these days. But MooLaLa has two major things going for it: 1) MooLaLa has a High Rockies, CO section. I’m guessing most of these deals will be online. But it IS exciting that Aspenites could potentially see some deals! 2) MooLaLa is a pyramid scheme. And by scheme I…

Dude Brah, Check Out Thrillist Rewards

Dude, if I were a dude, I’d love thrillist. I continue to receive and even occasionally read the man-focused newsletter because it is interesting and does always manage to have the scoop on what’s hot, even if it is written in frat-brohan prose. The man mecca just introduced a “rewards” program like groupon on steroids,…

Aspen: Snowmass Restaurant Week!

Eating on the cheap in Aspen (/Snowmass) can be a challenge, so I’m thrilled they’ve introduced Restaurant Week to Snowmass! More than 25 restaurants (who knew Snowmass had that many?!) are participating with prices at $20.11 … cute. Started on Saturday, runs through February 18. My top three picks: GARNISH (American) Open Daily for Après…

Austin: Half-Price Sushi at Bar Chi

As the weekend rolls around again, I absolutely must tell you about Bar Chi. It’s on 2nd & Colorado, where the old Yu Sushi Izagaya was. It looks the exact same, but they are doing something no one else downtown is: Late. Night. Happy Hour. 10p-midnight. And all-day Sunday happy hour. And not just $1…

Aspen: Pacifica Happy Hour

Pacifica Seafood & Raw Bar has been a want-to-try Aspen restaurant that I haven’t had the chance to sample until I had friends come into town recently. We stopped by for their fantastic if short happy hour (it only runs 4-5:30p!) and got a chance to share and sample some seriously delicious apps. The food…

MORE MORE MORE Deal Sites!

Can you even keep up? Over the holidays, my mom turned me on to two more sites–MorgansDeals and TheLunchDeal.com, plus I just heard about CrowdSavings.com. I’m going to totally nerd out on you (again) about these flash-sale sites. The things is, they’re awesome. Yes. But they’re a really, really interesting product of our unique place…

More on EverSave

It’s no secret that living, even part time, in Aspen is expensive. One of the funniest things about it is shopping online … when you don’t have the same access to stores that you do in Austin, you gotta shop somewhere! So lately I’ve been loving EverSave’s online deals (you know I knew about them…

Austin: New Local Daily Deal Site GivShop

Only in Austin, where deal sites populate the city like musicians, would we have a new daily deal site that gives back–as in, 50% of your purchase price goes back to a non-profit of your choice. How ridiculously cool is that? Hello GivShop. Joining Groupon, LivingSocial, aDealio, Localiter, and Eversave, GivShop offers similar fare to…

Aspen: Off-Season Eatin’

One of the best things about off-season in Aspen (the time between summer and winter where no one comes here because it starts to snow but not enough to ski, so it’s supposedly just miserable … I’ll keep you posted) is the amazing deals the usually too-expensive-for-my-budget restaurants have. Check out EatAspen‘s full list of…

Austin: Another Daily Deal Group Coupon Site

Eversave launched in Austin today, even though they’ve been doing trial deals for a couple of weeks. You get a $5 instant credit when you join. Like Groupon, LivingSocial, aDealio, and Localiter, Eversave offers local daily deals called “Saves” to Austin-area residents. The Saves feature fun things to do in and around the city including…
