-Freebee Friday at A Healthy Balance reminded me that Orion Magazine offers a free trial issue. I took advantage of this offer about five years ago and was so impressed, I bought a subsciption for my library so I could read it and share it with others at the same time (and I rarely buy magazine subscriptions).
-Want Not wrote a heads up about a grocery clearance at Amazon.com. This includes some really awesome products including organic milk and herbal teas!

Win a Free One Week Bike Tour
A few years ago I really really wanted to go on the Sustainability in Motion Bike Tour. It is about as dreamy as a bike tour can get. You get to ride through the beautiful lands of Oregon or Hawaii with some hip, treehuggin’ peeps. The tour will take you to organic farms, intentional communities and other cool places on the way where you get to study and apply the philosophies of permaculture, green building, small-scale economics, sustainable energy and intentional living.
The reason I never took up such a great opportunity before Motherhood became my vocation? The price. It seems pretty reasonable now, at about $500 per week, but in my memory it was several thousands and the tour lasted about a month or more.
Anyway, who cares about the price because you can win a free week! You can enter at the Common Circle Expeditions Website. Good luck!
