Harkins Theatres’ will give out free popcorn and $1 drinks during 2010, provided you sport the chain’s special deal-granting t-shirt or beverage cup.

Called “Loyalty” cups and t-shirts, they’re an annual Harkins’ tradition. The cup gets you $1 soft drink refills each time you bring it with you to the movies. The t-shirt gets you a free medium popcorn every time you wear it to see a film at Harkins.

The 2010 models go on sale Thursday, Nov. 19, at all Harkins Theatres locations and online at www.harkinstheatres.com.Cups cost $4.50; t-shirts are $20. They’re good until Dec. 31, 2010.

For every Loyalty t-shirt purchased, Harkins will donate $1 to Phoenix Children’s Hospital.

Psi Beta along with the Mesa Fire Department will hold a book sale to benefit the American Cancer Society Arizona Camp Sunrise. The camp offers programs for children who have or have had cancer, as well as for their families and siblings.

The sale will be 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 7, at the Mesa Community College Red Mountain Campus in the parking lot of the Acacia Village, Power Road between McKellips and McDowell roads.

There will be all sorts of used books to choose from - including children’s books and textbooks.

For more information on Arizona Camp Sunrise, go to www.azcampsunrise.org.

Taking the whole family out won’t cost an arm and a leg in this case.

Cork, the eclectic small-plates restaurant and wine bar in Chandler that’s garnering rave reviews, is the featured deal of the day on Groupon.com, a Web site that offers a different bargain each day for users in cities like Chicago, New York and — since August of this year — Phoenix.

The Groupon deal gets you $60 worth of food and drink for just $30. But you must buy before the deal is up at midnight. For details on how Groupon works, click here.

Cork received a 2009 Award of Excellence from Wine Spectator magazine. For more on Cork, try visiting Tribune dining writer Jess Harter’s blog, The Dish, and doing a search for “Cork.” He’s written a lot about the place, which he calls a “gem” and “one of the Valley’s best.”

Tribune dining writer Jess Harter says you can get a free cheeseburger, fries and a drink on Wednesday at Joe’s Farm Grill in Gilbert.

It’s part of the popular restaurant’s third anniversary celebration. No purchase is necessary, and there are no strings attached.

H&M, popular international retailer of low-priced, fashion-forward apparel, is opening its first Arizona store at noon on Nov. 5. To celebrate, it’s giving some choice freebies away to shoppers.

The first 300 shoppers in line at the store on opening day will receive free H&M t-shirts. But the real deal is a little something called an “Access to Fashion Pass.” It’s essentially a gift card with anywhere from $10 to $500 on it. Each person gets one, so bring a friend and cross your fingers for cards loaded with big bucks.

H&M is located in The Scottsdale Quarter at 15169 N. Scottsdale Road. Reach the store at  (480) 607-8374.
