Costco Special Offer – 50% Off Local Restaurant Gift Cards

Just received an email from Costco: they are offering 50% discounts off selected restaurant gift cards when you purchase them in their warehouse. That’s a great deal, because generally they offer 20-25% discounts. They mentioned a few of the offers in my closest location (Vallejo, CA) and they are worthwhile deals. Check it out! But be quick about it, the deal is only good TWO DAYS ONLY: May 6-7, 2011.

Nonstop Flights to Hawaii from US – $334 RT (ends May 5!)

Here’s a GREAT deal on roundtrip flights from the US to the Hawaiian Islands. We are going to Hawaii over Thanksgiving this year so I’ve been shopping around for flights. I was shopping last week and the best deals I found were for $590 roundtrip from San Francisco to Oahu (nonstop). Today, I received an email from Hawaiian Airlines advertising special deals, starting at $334 RT from the US to Hawaii.

By the way, I booked my flights from San Francisco to Honolulu today for $463 per person roundtrip nonstop, including all fees and taxes. Beware: the website was inundated today and was very slow… Keep trying!
