It’s that time of the year again when we wear green, eat corned beef and honor that old snake-chaser St. Patrick of Ireland. It falls on Saturday this year, so many will be looking forward to some holiday cheer and maybe some green beer. But before the evening festivities begin, you may want to take some time out to enjoy some of these holiday bargains and giveaways.

Gaelic gastronomy

Burger King is giving away one free value-size french fries to each customer who asks on Saturday and Sunday. It also comes with green ketchup. Try to get more festive than that!

If there is a Cypress Pint and Plate in your city, you might want to make it a stop for the evening’s meal. The restaurant is offering corned beef and cabbage dinners for a meager $5.

Arby’s is extending a two-for-one sale on corned beef Reuben sandwiches on Friday, Saturday and Sunday if you have this coupon.

http://samples.target.com/ — always a good stop for free samples — is offering a free sample of Gevalia Coffee if you answer a few survey questions.

Check out Lipton Tea’s page on Facebook. On the left side you will see a tab labeled “Tea Mixes.” Click on it to get a free sample of Lipton’s Tea and Honey.

By using the promo code IRISH you can snag a $25 restaurant.com coupon for a mere $3. Offer good until Sunday.

With these coupons you can get a Fruit & Veggie or All Fruit Smoothie for only $2 at Jamba Juice.

If you like to cook but hate planning meals, you can let eMeals do that work for you. Normally a $58 value, this weekend the service is yours for half price, $29.
