The 505's Interactive News — From the Public, For the Public, Free Sponsored by Epic App Solutions

The Savings Desk

Every deal below is publicly advertised by the business itself — on its own site, its official page, its printed menu. We found it, checked it, and did the math nobody wants to do in line: what it saves you per visit, per week, per year. No business paid for a spot and nobody coordinated these — the Gazette dug them up.

The desk rule: if a deal can't point at a public place where the business advertises it, it doesn't run here. Every card names its source and the day we last verified it.

Your business isn't on here?

Put it on. Fill in the form and two things happen at once: your card goes live in the 505 directory this second, and your deal goes to the desk queue. We verify the deal against wherever you advertise it — menu page, posted special, official page — and then it runs on this board.

  • Free and permanent — it's a phone book, not an ad product.
  • The deal prints once we can point at where you advertise it.
  • Your email stays private — it's how the desk reaches you.

Weekly-ads worth checking yourself: Save Mart, Grocery Outlet, WinCo. Rather run a tip past a person? Email the desk.

Add your business and its deal

Stars are required. The rest helps a neighbor find you.

The desk verifies against this -- a link is fastest.

Private -- the desk reaches out from this. Never printed.

Want a fuller listing? The Business desk does ads too → Or run the Gazette in your zip →

Deals come from the businesses' own public advertising and are re-verified on a rolling basis. Prices and terms belong to the businesses and can change; the card tells you when we last checked. The savings math is arithmetic, not a promise — your total depends on what you actually buy.
