Alicia’s Weekend Deals: Save big on 2014 travel

Happy New Year and happy Friday! Stick with me by “liking” Alicia’s Deals in AZ on Facebook (if you haven’t already) to live better and spend less (Remember my motto: “Live life better for less”) every single day. If you have a friend who wants to save money this year (and really everyone should), please share the site with them. My goal is to get all of the savvy Arizonans saving in 2014!

Save on TRAVEL: Click here and use promo code TRAVEL2014 to save 10 percent off the already discounted Living Social deal of your choice. They have trips available throughout the country and around the world (some include airfare). Here are a few of my favorites (be sure to read the fine print about blackout dates, taxes, etc.):

Heritage Inn Bed and Breakfast in Snowflake: Click here and use promo code TRAVEL2014 to get a weekday night for $62.10, or a whole weekend for $117. Check out the TripAdvisor reviews (97 percent of people recommend the place).

Sonesta ES Suites in Flagstaff: Click here to get two nights for up to three people in a studio including a breakfast buffet for two and a bottle of wine for $156.60 with promo code TRAVEL2014. Be sure to check out the TripAdvisor reviews.

Hotel Villa Rolandi (not far from Cancun): If you really want to get away, this is an outstanding value. Click here and use promo code TRAVEL2014 to get a four-night stay for two in an oceanfront junior suite with jacuzzi with lots of extras for as low as $585 (a $1632 value). Check out the TripAdvisor reviews. WOW! This is an adult-only resort (so keep that in mind as you book).

Walgreens Brag Book Deal: Click here and use promo code SMALLBOOK to get a FREE brag book (a $6.99 value). Then add in promo code SHIPIT2ME to get shipping free (I have NEVER seen them do this before). Check out the total below ($0.00 is the best total to have).

H&R Block tax software: The faster you get your taxes DONE the faster you’ll get that refund! Friday only you can click here and save up to 51 percent off at Amazon.

Home Depot Kids Workshop: If you don’t have plans this Saturday, hurry over here to register so your child can make a fun desk calendar (for free) at your Home Depot from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. An adorable apron is included.

Shellac manicure Click here to get one for just $11 (a $22 value) at JayneeBell Salon in Scottsdale (check out their all 5-star Yelp reviews). You can buy one for yourself and multiples for gifts. So if you bought one for you and three for your best friends/favorite family members (they all have birthdays coming up, right?), you’ll be at $44. Use promo code ALICIA to save $10 off your $40 purchase and you’ll spend just $34. That’s $8.25/ manicure.

Jamba Juice: Print off a coupon for any small Whole Food nutrition or Fit ‘n Fruitful smoothie for just $2 Friday to Tuesday. It doesn’t have to be hard (or expensive) to eat well!

Color Run in Tempe: Click here to save $10 on entry to the really fun race Jan. 25 (you’ll pay $35 instead of $45). They actually spray color on you as you run, I’ve heard this is amazing!

Fry’s: If you have a VIP card, click here to load a coupon for a FREE Jeno’s Pizza. You must download the coupon Friday but you’ll have until Jan. 18 to redeem it. Don’t forget to load your coupon for $5 off your $40 purchase too. Unfortunately, you must download these coupons with a desktop or laptop computer (it won’t work on your cell phone or tablet).

Enjoy the deals and have a great weekend!
