Holiday: Deals & Steals

Despite the fact that we have not even sat down at our Thanksgiving tables yet, the world seems to think it's Christmas. Though I am trying to fight this, there are so many great deals and events happening in the city in preparation for the holiday season, I would be remiss not to share them with you.

Boston Bloggers Holiday Fiesta

If you are a blogger in this great city, you are cordially invited to the Boston Bloggers Holiday Fiesta! The event is free to attend and is taking place Wednesday, December 14th from 6:00pm - 9:00pm at the Mass Ave Tavern (just beyond the corner of Mass Ave and Newbury St). I have already RSVP-ed yes, do the same here.

2-f0r-1 Holiday Drinks At Starbucks

The award for most holiday spirit this week certainly goes to Starbucks! Today - Sunday from 2:00pm - 5:00pm holiday drinks are 2-for-1! That means if you're addicted to the Peppermint Mocha (guilty) you can go with a friend and split the cost of ONE drink while each sipping your own, full size beverage. Why thank you, Starbucks!

Do you like to shop at the Prudential Center? I thought so. Well, you're in luck! Tomorrow, November 18th from 4:00pm - 9:00pm you can make a donation of $5 (which supports eight local charities) and receive an insane amount of discounts throughout the Pru. Here are just a few of the discounts:
