Want Earth Day freebies? This Sunday April 19 and next week, in time for Earth Day, a number of retailers are running promotions that can help shoppers like you and me go green and save green, too. Some stores are providing freebies; others are offering discounts or money off on eco-friendly products. Here are a few of those offerings, which I thought you might want to check out this weekend.
- At Target this Sunday, the first 1 million guests at the checkout counter will received a $2.00 coupon on GE Energy Smart compact flourescent light bulbs (or CFLs) and they’ll get a free reusable tote bag in which to carry their purchase home.
- Also jumping on the CFL bandwagon is Home Depot. Stores nationwide will be giving away 1 million free CFLs to shoppers at Home Depot. (Thanks to Miami on the Cheap, part of the Cities on the Cheap network, for the heads-up about this promotion.)
- Fresh & Easy Neighborhood Market will be giving away free canvas bags to customers on Wednesday, April 22nd when they spend $10 or more. This special giveaway is part of an effort to encourage customers to reuse bags and lessen their impact on the environment.
- Sears is offering its customers an additional 10% off Kenmore Elite ENERGY STAR-qualified appliances, on top of existing promotional prices, each Monday throughout the month of April.
