Eat tropical
Forget about winter blahs, relax at Lurcat (1624 Harmon Pl, Mpls, 612-486-5500) and have the pineapple almond cake with buttermilk ice cream ($8). You'll feel like your in Hawaii, up until the moment you walk outside.

Bargain
The Mix Home and Fashion Outlet (4907 Excelsior Blvd., St. Louis Park, 952-285-8050) is closing the fashion side that carries clothing, handbags and accessories. To move as much merchandise as possible the end of the month, almost everything in the store has been marked down to $5, $10, $15 and $20. There's so much stuff that you might be able to bargain down prices even more.

Shop online
The locally-based eco-friendly Olive & Myrtle is having a major winter sale. Stock up on bamboo bowls and dominoes at 15 to 50 percent off.

Clean your closet
Spend your weekend cleaning your closet because from Monday, February 22 through Sunday, February 28, shoppers who bring gently used clothing to any of Bibelot's four metro shops will receive a coupon good for 20 percent off a single regularly-priced clothing item at Bibelot. The gently used clothing will be collected for ARC's Value Village Thrift Stores and Donation Centers.
