Take a little off the top! Any time you can cut costs on grooming services, it’s definitely a beautiful day — especially for bargain hunters. And Great Clips is offering a rare opportunity to save money on your next haircut.

The popular salon used to regularly offer coupons in the paper or annual haircut sales, but nowadays it can be “hairy” to find any savings. That makes this deal a must for anyone on a tight budget.

Great Clips is offering a coupon for $9.99 haircut at participating locations — from Dec. 31 to Jan. 16, 2026.

Claim the required coupon here. Limit one coupon per person. 

You should receive the one-time-use coupon code via e-mail within 30 to 45 minutes. However, it could take up to 24 hours to receive it.

Just show the coupon code at checkout to receive the discount. Be sure to confirm your Great Clips location is accepting the $9.99 haircut coupons prior to service.

An adult haircut is regularly around $24 at most locations, so the deal is definitely a cut above the rest at nearly 60% off. Price varies by location.

The coupon expires Jan. 23, 2026 and can only be redeemed at participating locations across the U.S. (All Great Clips salons are independently owned and operated, so participation may vary.)

Be sure to use the salon’s online check-in system for faster service and convenience. Less time waiting in line! And, as always, remember to tip your stylist accordingly.

Pop! Pop! Pop! There’s something special about movie theater popcorn. You can make popcorn at home, but it never quite has the same taste or flavor.

Hungry for more food deals?

   

Looking for healthy savings? Panera Bread offers lots of delicious soups, salads and sandwiches. However, for most bargain hunters, the popular eatery is also known for being more expensive than other fast-casual eateries.

That’s why, anytime they offer any discount, it’s a big deal — especially for those looking to save money at “better-for-you” restaurants other than fast-food.

For a limited time, Panera Bread is offering a rare buy-one-get-one special at participating locations — buy a whole sandwich, whole salad, bowl of soup or bowl of mac and cheese and get a second one for just $5.

The discount applies to lowest priced item. Any upcharges for modifications still apply and will not be discounted.

The deal is available for online orders placed via Panera Bread’s site or app. Use promo code BOGO5 at checkout.

Limit one discount per transaction. That means, if you’re placing a large order, order them in separate transactions for maximum savings.

The offer is not valid on breakfast items, bakery items, You Pick Two, Value Duets, Family Feasts, Kids’ Meals, lobster items, catering orders or orders placed on third party sites.
