It's time for the weekly roundup of freebies, coupons and other deals. As always, these deals can and do expire quickly. And never give your real birthday or a credit card for a free offer.

Get a free sample of Better Oats oatmeal.

Do you have a Blockbuster Express in your area yet? The Blockbuster rental machine replaced the Redbox at my local grocery store recently. HeyItsFree says if you use the code GT18A, you'll get a free rental. They say the code is good until the end of August, but it's always best to use these codes sooner than later.

If you're shopping at Old Navy this weekend, take this coupon for $2 camis. Good through Saturday, July 31.

Speaking of clothes shopping, we have a deal for thrift store shoppers. ARC Thrift Stores is selling all of its T-shirts, tank tops and shorts for 99 cents each. The sale started Wednesday and ends Friday, July 30. Thanks to Mitch and Anne for this tip.

Best Buy is offering (mostly) free electronics recycling. They'll take up to three items per day including tube TVs and monitors up to 32 inches, flat-panel TVs and monitors up to 60 inches, DVD players, home and car audio, cell phones, MP3 players, and cables. Computers must have the hard drive removed.

Important note: there is a $10 fee for televisions and monitors, but you get a $10 Best Buy gift card. Read the rules on Best Buy's website.

If you like Boston Market, make sure you pick up at least one of the $1 coupon books now on sale. The books have more than $40 in coupons. Proceeds benefit Give Kids the World Village.

Champps Americana has a coupon on its Facebook page for $10 off a $25 purchase. Coupon expires Aug. 15. Just call before you go to make sure your location is accepting the coupon.

Friday, July 30 is National Cheesecake Day. Yum! Get a slice for half price at the Cheesecake Factory. Offer good Friday only.

And here's a strange, but tasty offer: Famous Dave's BBQ will give a free entrée to anyone with the first name of Dave, David or Davy (maximum value of $15) on Sunday, Aug. 1. If your middle name is Dave, David or Davy, get one entrée for half price (maximum value of $7.50) on Aug. 1.

Get a free sample Thermadrene.

If you missed it last week, you can still get a free sample of Better Than Ears dog treats and Good Nites underwear.

Bath & Body Works has a coupon right now for a free antibacterial hand soap with any $10 purchase. Thanks to Leann for this tip.

As always, make sure you check out Coupons.com before you go shopping.

Speaking of coupons, here's my newest find. Lowe's has coupons! This week I found coupons for trash bags, light bulbs, brooms and cleaning supplies.

In case you missed it this week, here are a couple more Debbie's deals to pass along. Monday, Aug. 2 is free admission day at Colorado's State Park.

Aug. 14 and 15 is free admission day at our national parks. And adopting cats and kittens is completely free right now at the Dumb Friends League.

And we end this week with a contest. Cantina Laredo is a new Mexican restaurant in the Centennial area at the Streets at Southglenn. They sent me a $25 gift certificate I'm giving away! To enter, go to our DenverChannel Facebook page. Click the "like" button on our main Facebook page, then look at the link for my Friday Freebies article and click "like."

On Monday morning, we'll put all your names in a drawing and choose someone for the $25 gift certificate. Tell your friends to become fans of our Facebook page and enter the contest so they can take you for a free meal.

If you see a deal, let me know. E-mail me Debbie (Debbie@thedenverchannel.com).
