Treat.com is offering one free greeting card per household for first-time customers.

Go to the website, pick out a card you like, personalize it (if you want), and when you get to the checkout, enter “freetreat” for the promo code. Details of the offer said it’s for a limited time that can end at any point without notice. So you might not want to wait to get in on this deal.

I picked out a rather generic $2.99 graduation card that I could use for any of several high school graduates I know this year.

Two issues that did come up when I was ordering the card — the site signed me in using my Facebook account and it also required me to enter credit card information even though the total in my cart was $0.

Admission to the festival, which features entertainment like singing and dancing, is free. However, you do have to pay for food, drink and souvenirs.

You get a cute little zippered bag with samples like shampoo, lip balm and moisturizer. I got one in a similar giveaway a couple months ago and it was pretty nice.

This offer runs through July 5 or until 477,500 gifts are claimed, according to the site. You can only ask for one and you have to be a U.S. resident age 18 or older.

To sign up, visit www.facebook.com/targetstyle and click on Target Summer Beauty Bag Giveaway. Make sure to go to targetstyle and not just target. I didn’t see the giveaway at Facebook.com/target.

If you have clean and sorted items you just want to get rid of, you can donate them for the sale by dropping them off for Crawford at the Downtown YMCA, 31 W. 10th St.

If you want to help, you can volunteer. Contact Vicki Stilson at (814) 452-3261 or volunteer@ymcaerie.org.

Proceeds from the sale benefit Camp Sherwin, organizers said.

Go to www.facebook.com/rosettibags to enter the 30 days 30 bags sweepstakes, which began earlier this month. You have to be a U.S. resident at least 18 years old. The purses are valued at $59 to $75 each. You can enter the sweepstakes once per day but you can only win one bag.

Unfortunately, since only one bag is being given away a day and lots of people are likely entering, your chances of winning aren’t exactly great. To learn about a better shot at getting a free bag, which comes filled with samples, come back to Cheap in Erie tomorrow.
