During Herberger's Goodwill Sale, donate clean clothes and bedding in good condition and get coupons toward the purchase of new merchandise. Now through March 23. Coupons are for 10, 15 or 20 percent off nearly everything in the store, including cosmetics and fragrances. Register at MillionActsofGoodwill to receive a coupon for even larger discounts.

Everything at Restoration Hardware (791 Grand Ave., St. Paul, 651-228-3033) is 50 percent off. The store is expected to close soon. The Galleria store in Edina will remain open and is not having a closing sale.

The Extreme Warehouse sale on Saturday and Sunday at the actual Warners' Stellian warehouse (550 Atwater Circle, St. Paul, 651-222-0011) can be a good deal. Some of the items are purchased just for the sale and others are marked down just for the sale. People with smartphones who can quickly do price comparisons online will be able to judge the deals best. It's a good time to check out high-end appliances that rarely go on sale, such as Wolf and Viking. Even the highly-rated and highly-expensive Miele vacuums will be discounted at the sale. Get in line early for the best selection. The sale is from 7 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Saturday and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday.

The Twin Cities Pet Expo (Minneapolis Convention Center, $9) from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday includes entertainment and seminars, but the best value is all of the free or low-cost pet food samples. Bring a strong bag to carry all of the cat or dog food you can carry. I also pick up as many coupons as I can. Sometimes an exhibitor will you out one or two coupons, but I ask for more of any brands my pets really like. (And the exhibitors are always happy to give out a few more). But go early on Saturday if you can, because the samples dry up later in the show. I don't know if they "restock" on Sunday mornings, but I assume some is held back.
