Half-off!

Posted on 7 Feb 2010 - by Katkat In: deals around town

Who doesn’t love a good discount? Unless you’re born with a silver spoon and have a loathing for money, I guess the word “discount” is something we relish. As I’ve mentioned in my previous posts, you need to be resourceful if you want to get the most out of your purchase. In the SF Bay Area, there are lots of discounts, freebies to be had if you try to look for it. I just love the internet!

Among the free stuffs I found are:

1. restaurant.com – discount gift certificates in many Bay Area restaurants

2. free admittance to California Academy of Sciences every 3rd Wednesday of the month

3. free tickets to Disneyland by volunteering

So here’s another great deal for you SF Bay Area people:

1. Free Pass to Exploratorium – free pass every 1st Wednesday of the month.

2. Ticket Bay Area – gives out discounted tickets to theater plays.

3. Bay Area Half Off – offers half off gift certificates for restaurants, activities, shopping, etc. Some are even 75% off!

4. San Francisco Perks – another online site which offers 50% discount gift certificates for various fun activities and restaurants.

Among the exciting offers I want to try are:

1. San Francisco City Kayak – $100 gift certificate is on sale for $25 only!

2. Zip car driving – $75 GC now $18.25

3. GoKart Racing – hopefully they will offer this GC again

4. Hornblower Cruises – not yet up but a great bargain for a special date.

Of course some restrictions apply in the GCs and the websites are totally secure so payment is not a problem. So if you think living in the SF Bay Area is expensive, well…it can be. But the trick is be resourceful! Just google it!
