This week you’ll find deals on food, tax help and music. Thanks to all of those who e-mailed me tips. Remember I'm always looking for good deals to feature, especially those with local businesses so send me an e-mail if you spot a deal so I can share it. Enjoy!

Free single of the week
Each week iTunes puts out a free single of the week. The freebies start every Tuesday and are usually accompanied by a really good price on the featured artists’ album. Tyler tells me you can get them to e-mail it to you each week so you don't have to try to remember.

Appliance Sale
Save 25% on energy star appliances at Sears. Remember the Texas Energy Star Tax Rebates will only apply to purchases between April 16th through the 25th. So it may be worth it to wait. Here's a detailed list of the rebates that will be available.
Sales

Airfare Deals
• Airfarewatchdog.com has posted some pretty good deals from Austin this week. If you haven’t checked out this site it’s a great place to go to find unadvertised air fare deals.
• Southwest Airlines has some pretty good deals right now. You’ll find airfare for as little as $59 to some places. You can travel from Austin to Denver for as little as $87 one way. You’ve got to book by Thursday, February 18th and it’s good for travel through May 25th.
Then check out the cool scavenger hunt Southwest has put up to highlight some of the changes to the website. If you find the clues you get entered into a contest to win a trip for two anywhere Southwest flies.
