CitiesOnTheCheap.com Makes Holiday Season Affordable & Bright

ATLANTA, GA, October 10, 2011

With the holidays just around the corner, families are looking for new ways to make the most of the season, while not breaking their budgets. International blog network, CitiesontheCheap.com offers one-stop, one-click access to some of the best deals, discounts and freebies available, to help make everyone's holiday season brighter.

Black Friday marks the official start of the holiday shopping season, and CitiesontheCheap.com features a separate listing identifying many of the freebies and deals offered to shoppers that day. In the past, deals have included free slurpees, free coffee at various shops and restaurants and free breakfast at stores like IKEA.

Just go to CitiesontheCheap.com, click on the "Freebies" tab at the top, and scroll down to "Black Friday Deals." Continually updated, the site directs shoppers to national Black Friday freebie promotions currently available. In addition to the Black Friday page, the site identifies several free craft workshops for kids to attend and make their own holiday gifts.

Looking for a great way to give a "cheap" gift without looking cheap? Throughout the holiday season, CitiesontheCheap.com offers regular round ups of gift card bonus deals, as well as weekly holiday gift edition posts. The holiday gift editions are a result of scouring the web for the hottest nationwide group-buy deals that are also great gift-giving opportunities.

Thrifty-minded browsers can also link back to their own community for even more Black Friday and holiday deals, freebies and events by clicking on "Find Your City." Discounts and freebies vary from city to city, and even location to location, so be sure to check local stores and listings to make sure they are participating in the promotion.

In addition to Black Friday Deals, CitiesontheCheap.com has created specific pages highlighting days that are known for lots of discounts and freebies, including Mother's Day, Father's Day, Tax Day and Earth Day. There is also a Food/Drink Deal-specific page - because everyone always loves a good deal on food.

A network of community blogs in more than 30 cities and three countries, Cities on the Cheap has become the "go-to" resource for locals, travelers, bargain hunters and backyard explorers looking for a new adventure. Named to the TLC list of the "10 Best Websites to Save You Money," CitiesOnTheCheap.com searches for the best deals and freebies, then combines them into a single daily newsletter. Subscribing is free, and visitors can even browse each day's new deals without signing up if they prefer.
