Coupon Colorado - Fort Collins

One of your favorite coupons is back! Now until 5/31/16 you can use this coupon to receive $10 OFF any purchase of $50 or More at Jax Outdoor Gear & Ranch and Home!  This offer is valid at Jax Fort Collins, Loveland, and Lafayette locations. 

Coupons, deals, and offers are available at the time that I post them, but I cannot guarantee how long they will be valid or available for use.

Now that we got that last snow storm out of the way, you can really start thinking about your spring planting! To get you and your flower garden started, here is a coupon from Fort Collins Nursery. When you buy one pansy pack at regular price, you'll get a second of equal or lesser value for FREE! Limit 2 free packs, and only one coupon per customer. Expires April 30, 2016.

I keep seeing headlines out there saying we may be in for another snow storm this weekend, but I am completely ignoring the articles. Instead, I choose to believe Spring is here to stay. I mean, I kind of have to; I packed up all my winter clothes over last weekend!

If you're like me, you're ready for everything spring, and that means you plan to spend some quality time out on your deck and/or patio. Now that our family is growing, our dinky little patio table and 2 chairs aren't enough to accommodate us — which leads me to the coupons I want to share with you today.  Right now, Downtown Ace Hardware in Fort Collins has a few coupons available that may help you get your outdoor space ready for company. These coupons may not be combined with any other offer, so choose the one that will help you out the most.

First, if you're like me and are in need of patio furniture, you could use their coupon for $50 OFF Any Patio Purchase of $500 or More. Or, if you buy patio furniture and don't get over $500, you could use their offer $30 OFF your patio furniture delivery fee. Not in need of new furniture? No problem, you can always use their $5 OFF a Purchase of $25 or More!

Remember, only one coupon per customer!

Don't forget, the U.S. Park Service waives entrance fees to all its 409 parks, monuments and other sites on Saturday, April 16 through Sunday, April 24 for National Park Week. I don't want to jinx anything, but I think we're poised for good weather, so now may be the perfect time to get out and enjoy the spring scenery!

Already have plans the next 2 weekends? Fear not, you can still take advantage of upcoming FREE days this year on August 25 - 28, September 14, and November 11!

Your favorite coupon is back! Print the coupon HERE and you will get $10 OFF Any Purchase of $50 or More at Jax Outdoor! Limit one coupon per customer, may not be combined with any other offer. Expires 8/31/15.

I've mentioned this on the blog before, but I'll say it again: I am no snow bunny. You will never find me out on the slopes. My one snowboarding experience was a total disaster, and I have never been skiing. The appeal is completely lost on me. You want me to go fast...down a hill.... in the cold? No, no thank you.

For those of you who do enjoy winter sports, I have a coupon for you. You have to hurry though, because this offer ends on 12/31/2014.  If you take this coupon into Outpost Sunsport in Fort Collins (located at 931 E. Harmony), you can get up to $25 OFF.  Here's how it works: if you spend over $50, you'll get $10 OFF your purchase. If you spend over $200, you'll get $25 OFF. This offer doesn't apply to labor (think repairs), rentals, or layaways. 

Again, use by 12/31 and have fun outside in the cold, while I enjoy hot tea and a movie indoors! 

The U.S. Park Service is waiving entrance fees to all of its 401 parks, mountains and other sites on National Public Lands Day, Saturday, September 27. Instead of renting another movie this weekend, head up to Rocky Mountain National Park to see the aspens beautiful fall colors! 

My husband and I had grand plans of accomplishing a bunch of yard work this past weekend. Instead, we hung out at the neighborhood pool and tried to get some color.  We know we will have to redeem ourselves this coming weekend, and have promised to rededicate ourselves to maintaining the garden, bushes and trees.  In order to do that however, I am in need of some new gardening tools, and I know Joe probably needs some odds and ends as well. So, I plan to use an in-store coupon code at Harbor Freight to get 20% OFF 1 item.  

If you also are in need of a specific item/tool for your yard and house projects, print this code and use it at  checkout: 93998777.  I don't know the expiration date of this specific code, but you can always check this link to see if it's still available.

This is a Fort Collins-focused savings blog, but this event in Boulder County is cool enough that you may want to make the trip. I was recently contacted by Greenhouse Partners regarding a special promotion for Vedus de Miles, an all-women’s road ride supporting a good cause. If you have a bike and a desire to help the future leaders of Colorado, read on.

The Ride
Venus de Miles is a “road ride”. It’s not really a race, so you don’t have to be a hardcore cyclist to participate, and could dismount and push your bike up a hill without fear of judgement (that would totally be me). That being said, there isn’t a great course option for those who are usually sedentary. The event is produced by and fully supports Greenhouse Scholars and would be a fun, albeit strenuous, way to help a good cause, enjoy some beautiful scenery, and party in Prospect Park with great food, booze, music,  and spa treatments.

Riders can choose 1 of 3 courses to bike.

• 100 Miles
  
• 51 Miles
  
• 33 Miles
  

If say, you show up and decide you’ve bitten off more than you can chew, you can easily switch distances; just show up at the new start time. All rides begin on August 23, 2014 at Prospect Park at 700 Tenacity Drive in Longmont, CO.

The Cause - Greenhouse Scholars
By participating in Venus de Miles, you’re making a commitment to support Greenhouse Scholars, a non-profit organization dedicated to helping high-performing, yet under-resourced students reach their full potential. Greenhouse Scholars uses what they call a “unique and holistic Whole Person© approach” that ensures these students  have scholarships to attend college and other resources to help them become community leaders. You can learn more about the program at GreenhouseScholars.org. You can also "like" them on  Facebook.

The Savings
In celebration of Memorial Day and the unofficial kick-off to summer, Venus de Miles is offering a $10 discount OFF the registration fee. This offer is good until May 30, 2014. 

To take advantage, sign up at: http://colorado.venusdemiles.com/Register  and simply enter the code: REDWHITEBLUE

Prices depend on when you register, but right now (before the discount) it costs $89 to enter. If you register after 8/, it’s $99. If you enter the day of the event, you’re looking at $129. Note: Registration is non-refundable and non-transferable - Venus de Miles is on, rain or shine!

I agreed to blog about this event promotion because I genuinely believe Greenhouse Scholars is a worthy cause. Also, I think the event is a great if you’re looking for something new to do with your gal friends. If you agree, let me know!

UPDATE
Since the weather was so crumby on Mother's Day, Fort Collins Nursery is running a Mother's May promotion the weekend of 5/17 & 5/18. Here is a link to the weekend's special pricing.

The weather on Mother’s Day was a little disappointing. Originally, my husband and daughter were going to take me to buy some plants so I could get started on my garden, but the lovely spring storm kept us in. I still had a great day though. I am used to being let down by Colorado weather, so I am just going to hang on to my Fort Collins Nursery coupon to use next weekend.

This coupon from Fort Collins Nursery can be found in this month’s Valpak and online. It was the most popular coupon at the Girls Night Out Expo on Friday night, and for good reason. Until 5/31/2014, you can can a FREE Tomato Plant when buy one (2.5” pot) at regular price. You can also get a FREE pack of Spring Bedding plants with purchase of a pack of equal or greater value.

As of today, the weather report is predicting 70-80 degree weather for this upcoming weekend, so perhaps we can put winter behind us and start planting!
