The annual event is coming! Smithsonian Magazine presents Museum Day on Saturday, September 29, 2012. Participating museums across the country admit guests with a Museum Day ticket for free.

To get your free ticket, fill out this form. When your ticket arrives in your e-mail inbox, print it and redeem at your chosen location.

Each ticket will admit one person plus a guest. The tickets are limit one per e-mail address. If you need 4 tickets, then register with 2 e-mail addresses (e.g., personal and junk e-mail accounts).

Today (Friday, July 13, 2012) only, participating Krispy Kreme Doughnuts locations in the United States will celebrate their 75th birthday by offering a dozen original glazed doughnuts for 75¢ when you purchase a dozen doughnuts.

At our Krispy Kreme, an assorted dozen of doughnuts costs $7.99. Adding 75¢ for the original glazed dozen, I can get 24 delicious doughnuts, 3 happy kids, and a fun family activity for less than $10.

If Chick-fil-A will serve one of your meals today, then a little splurge might fit snuggly into your budget. If not, then don’t spend. Another fun family activity will come along. Enjoy your weekend while using time wisely.

This weekend Burger King is offering their new crispy chicken wraps for $1 each. You can choose between honey mustard or ranch. Yum!

Participation may vary, so you may want to verify your Burger King’s participation before heading out.

In using time wisely, our family enjoys combining events during our outings. For example, after building a game show chip drop game at Lowe’s, we might stop by Burger King for a late morning snack before heading home.

These little events combined with other free activities make our family outings memorable and fun. My favorite outing to date was the green ketchup with free fries at Burger King during St. Patrick’s Day weekend. In fact, we still have a couple of packets of green ketchup remaining. 😉 Enjoy using time wisely this weekend!
