Denver Deal: Colorado Gems, Panera Grand Opening, and Western Welcome Week

There are literally thousands of deals going on in Denver right now!  I am trying to bring you the biggest and best deals in town.  Here are a few of the great ones this week:

Colorado Ski Deals

I know we have not seen the first flake of snow this year, but the deals are already available!  Get your Gems card (A-Basin, Echo Mountain, Eldora, Loveland, Monarch, Ski Cooper, Sol Vista and Sunlight) for only $10!  The card gets you free lift tickets, buy one get one free lift tickets and great discounts!

Panera Bread

Panera Bread is opening a new location at University Hills (Colorado Blvd and Iliff) August 11.  The celebration will include mystery gifts to the first 100 people, free cinnamon crunch bagles (while supplies last) and tote bags.  Doors open at 6 a.m.

Del Taco

My kids reminded me when the Rockies hit over 7 runs in a game, Taco Bell runs a deal 4 tacos for $1.99.  I got that one beat!!! Every week on Tuesday, Del Taco has three tacos for only $1.09!

Western Welcome Week

Downtown Littleton is celebrating Western Welcome Week  starting Thursday!  Ok, so it’s more like Western Welcome Two-Weeks – but that just didn’t sound as good.  There is free entertainment, Library book sale, arts and craft show, Reinke Bros. Haunted Mansion preview (Seriously, are  you thinking Halloween already?!?!?) and tons more!

CHOCOLATE!!!

Godiva is having their annual sale – which means yummy chocolates at a big deal discount.  While you are there, sign up for the rewards club.  Membership to the club is free and you get a free truffle (no purchase necessary) each month for the whole year!

Email me if you know of any great Denver deals! Communicate back with me and let me know what kind of deals you would like to see in this column – do you want more entertainment deals/events?  Do you want more food?  Are discounts something you’re interested in – or just FREE or Buy One Get One?  Let me know – and I will try to find it for you!
