Chilly weather is on the horizon here in the southeast. The cooler temperatures along with the rain gave me a reason to wrap myself in a blanket while watching football games this past weekend.

If you are struggling to get up and get moving on these chilly mornings, then plan to leave a bit early for the next two weeks.

McDonald’s is offering FREE McCafè coffee during breakfast hours from September 16-29, 2014.

For those of you, who love your morning coffee, allow McDonald’s to brew you a fresh cup each morning for FREE these next two weeks. Enjoy!

Question: What is your impression of McDonald’s McCafè coffee?

Are you going to rise and shine for all those crazy Black Friday deals? If so, APlus Sunoco locations will grant a FREE 16 oz. coffee to those who redeem this coupon on Friday, November 29, 2013.

This deal is limited to APlus Sunoco stations. Please check this store and gas station locator to find a participating APlus Sunoco near you. Just select APlus under “refine search by” to find the right location.

If you have an APlus Sunoco nearby and plan to visit, then print this coupon for your FREE coffee. The limit is one per customer, while supplies last.

Oh, I remember those cold mornings all too well – as Paul and I waited for the store to open to snag some amazing electronic devices.

Though we don’t drink coffee, a warm beverage was just the ticket to melt the chill. Hope you stay healthy while stretching your hard earned dollars. Enjoy!

Happy Black Friday!

2013: Happy Halloween!

Time to put on those costumes and have some fun! My children went reverse trick-or-treating yesterday at Paul’s office. The goal is to help our children practice the art of giving. However, they seem to come back with as much or more candy than we started.

Today, my children are ready to attend two events, head out into our neighborhood, and complete the evening snuggled into my bed watching It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown. Sometime in there, we will complete homework.

In working ahead, my children have planned for today’s events by completing assignments early or using earned coupons for today’s homework. I was so proud of them both for working on the material needed to master the information for their tests on Friday. Both of them worked hard to alleviate the homework load today.

If you are seeking some FREE or inexpensive Halloween options, then consider these options for a safe and sweet Halloween:

  • Grocery stores
  • Libraries
  • Mall
  • Bookstores
  • Home Improvement stores
  • Restaurants

Jenny Martin over on Southern Savers put together this great list of FREE or inexpensive Halloween dining offers. In addition to her list, I would add the discounts at Stevi B’s, Fuddruckers, and Olive Garden.

  • Church groups
  • Jump zones
  • Truck-or-Treats
  • Your own neighborhood

Though I don’t usually get dressed up, I will come up with a costume to snag a FREE Krispy Kreme Doughnut. If we had an APlus Sunoco nearby, we would accept their FREE candy bars.

My little princesses and Greek warrior Ajax will be on the prowl along with all the other little super heroes and characters. Please remember to drive extra carefully this evening and watch out for all little ones making memories. Though parents will be about, children do cut across streets without looking. If we all are a little bit more careful and aware, we might prevent a disaster from occurring.

For those of you who do not celebrate Halloween, I wish you a blessed Reformation Day! 🙂

If you are joining our family in this season of candy and treats, then have a great evening making memories, capturing smiles, and using time wisely with family, friends, and neighbors.

Happy Halloween!

Question: What is your favorite candy to give or receive?

If you have an APlus Sunoco nearby and plan to visit, then print this coupon for your FREE standard candy bar package of my favorite Reese’s peanut butter cups or a standard Kit Kat package. The limit is one per customer, while supplies last.

Wishing you all a safe and sweet monster day while using time wisely.

Happy Halloween!

Krispy Kreme Doughnuts: FREE Doughnut on October 31, 2013

October 25, 2013 by Tracy

Krispy Kreme Doughnuts: Doughnut Costume Party – October 31, 2013

Krispy Kreme Doughnuts: Doughnut Costume Party – October 31, 2013Krispy Kreme Doughnuts invites you to their Doughnut Costume Party on Halloween Day – Thursday, October 31, 2013. Wear your costume to a participating United States or Canadian Krispy Kreme Doughnut location and get a FREE doughnut.

Our local Krispy Kreme Doughnuts shop is limiting the FREE doughnut to a Krispy Skreme doughnut: spider web creme-filled, pumpkin (jack-o-lantern) creme-filled, or chocolate-covered sprinkled glazed variety.

Having stopped by for a snack a couple weeks ago to test out the new doughnuts, I can recommend the spider web creme-filled while Miss 3 loved her pumpkin creme-filled, as it has orange frosting on the top.

Krispy Kreme Doughnuts: Doughnut Costume Party – October 31, 2013

Whichever doughnut you get to choose, enjoy a special treat and have a safe and sweet Halloween.

Happy Halloween!

Question: What costumes will your family wear this Halloween?
