Want to save a bit when you go out or take care of errands? I’ve rounded up deals from local businesses in and near Inver Grove Heights that are worth knowing—especially if you want to stretch your dollar while keeping it local.
Auto & Service Shops
Christian Brothers Automotive (Diffley Court)
This auto repair shop has several go-to offers for locals. First responders, teachers, military personnel can get 10% off any service or repair (up to $50 max). If your car needs brake work, there’s $25 off any brake repair, or just swing in for a free brake check. And if you need an oil change, there’s $15 off oil change packages. They even offer complimentary shuttle service when available. These are valid at the Inver Grove Heights location only.
Drinks & Nightlife
Celts Pub
Looking for a night out without overspending? Celts Pub offers daily drink specials. Their “Happy Hour” runs 2–6 PM with “buy 2-get-1” beers, discounted rails, and one-dollar off domestic bottles. Fridays are Fireball Fridays with $2 Fireball shots. From 7-9 PM, shots are $1 off, and domestic bottles and cans are only $4 during that time.
Tips for Getting the Best Local Deals
1. Monitor Local Business Spotlights: Keep an eye on IGH’s city newsletters or “Insights” publications—they often mention new spots opening with special promos or introductory menus.
2. Check Coupons Before You Go: Many businesses—especially those in auto services—publish printable or screenshot coupons that need to be presented in person.
3. Ask About Discount Eligibility: If you work in public service (teacher, first responder, military), ask directly about special pricing. Many places offer offers quietly but aren’t always advertising them broadly.
Why Local Deals Matter
Using local offers keeps more money circulating in the community. It helps small business owners weather rising costs, and in turn, gives you better value than chains sometimes provide. Plus, it’s just nice knowing where your dollars are doing some good.
Want me to pull together a regularly updated list—say weekly or monthly—of deals in IGH? I’d be happy to set that up so you can plan your savings.
