Deals for keeping resolutions in 2020
Every year, we promise to adopt new, healthy habits and become the productive, wise, enlightened souls we know are hiding inside us. And every year, we close out in a frenzy of shopping, eating, partying and wonder where the time went to finish our projects.
Part of the problem: Creating a new you is expensive. So as you look to make your resolutions this year, get a jump on things by taking advantage of some of these deals. That way, you’re already invested, but not by too much. (Maybe make getting spending under control one of your resolutions.) Quit smoking — This is one of the big ones. If you’re still struggling here, head over to nicodermcq.com to grab a coupon for $5 off a pack of NicodermCQ or Nicorette gum to get started.
Get fit — Maybe it’s about endurance for you. Maybe it’s about taking the first step to more steps. Or maybe you just want an excuse to buy more sweatpants. Either way, a lot of gyms offer a free day to tryout the equipment before you sign up for a full membership. The following gyms will let you request a daypass: Crunch Fitness (crunch.com), LA Fitness (lafitness.com), Orange Theory Fitness (orangetheoryfitness.com) and Planet Fitness (planetfitness.com).
Lose weight — Whether it’s for health, appearances or just to feel lighter, a lot of us would love to shed a pound or two. Transformations Medical Weight Loss, with seven locations in Central Florida, has a Groupon (groupon.com) for a four-week medically supervised program for $199 (usually $459). This includes labs, consultations and supplements.
Also, Jenny Craig has the Jenny30 plan. Take $30 off each week of meals for the first 30 days. Visit jennycraig.com for more details.
Learn to cook — Getting tired of how much food is handed to you through the window of your car? Meal preparation kits are designed to help you cook more meals at home, whether you’re just learning ingredients or a seasoned chef who wants someone else to do the prep work. Sign up for weekly boxes from Blue Apron (blueapron.com) and get $20 off your first three boxes.
Similarly, Hello Fresh (hellofresh.com) is knocking $90 off your first four boxes, with $40 off the first one, $30 off the second and $10 off the third and fourth.
And of course, save more money in the new year by signing up for the Bargain Hunter newsletter at orlandosentinel.com/newsletters.
