Free Mall Workshops: The Apple Store, Williams Sonoma, & Pottery Barn Offerings

Wednesday, June 30, 2010 Posted by "The Queen of Free"

Ah, the Fashion Mall . . . my dear neighbors to the North seem to have it all - the Apple Store, Teavana, Restoration Hardware, Pottery Barn (where I get great ideas and really never buy anything), and Williams Sonoma. It's a happy place, indeed.

Several of these stores have free offerings:

Teavana always offers yummy free tea samples. :)

The Apple Store has all sorts of great Youth Workshops and Camps.

The Pottery Barn for Kids has Story Time and a Book Club, Decorating Classes, and a Baby Registry Workshop. The Pottery Barn also has free Decorating Classes and Workshops.

Williams Sonoma offers Cooking Classes and Demonstrations. July's Calendar has several yummy offerings. Find your location here. Thanks Lady Katie of Frugal Femina for the tip!

I always look for free things to do at the mall - whether it's free food samples for the kids or having my wedding ring cleaned and checked - so that I don't get the gimmes. That way you can still have a luxury experience without the guilty gut that goes with spending too much.

Hope that these help you save big and enjoy the mall a little more.
