Available at participating locations and for a limited time, Burger King has their small frozen coke or frozen cherry treat for 75¢.
These drinks make a great afternoon surprise or reward, especially after completing end-of-the-year tests.
Check with your local Burger King to verify their participation and length of their promotion. Enjoy!
Select Burger King restaurants are currently selling $cholar Buck$ booklets for $1 each. Each booklet contains the following 8 coupons:
These coupons have no expiration dates, and the limit is one coupon per customer per visit.
Though not every location carries these $1 $cholar Buck$ booklets, we found them available at our local Burger King, so we purchased 3 booklets.
Hoping you can find these booklets in your area. Happy savings!

With our summer vacation beginning in about 2 weeks, I’ve got my daughter registered for art camp and waiting for tennis camp registration to open for my son.
Looking ahead, we are ready for the water parks to open and spending time with our friends.
However, we still have much to accomplish at school, so I’m planning for summer while keeping my children on academic tasks. 😉
Last week, we looked at the AMF Summer Unplugged bowling program. This week, Kids Bowl Free gets promoted.
For those really hot or rainy days, I prefer indoor fun. For an indoor option, Kids Bowl Free gives every registered child 2 free bowling games each day, every day, all summer long. The children’s ages and dates of this promotion are determined by the individual bowling alleys that participate.
To get the free games, find a participating location (available in the United States and Canada) and register each of your children. You will need to re-register each summer as the program resets, and the information from last year does not transfer.
There is a limit of 6 children and one location per e-mail address. So, if you have 4 children and two available bowling alleys in your location, then you will need two e-mail accounts. Use one to sign up each of your 4 children at one location, and then use the other e-mail account to sign up all 4 children at the second location.
Once registered, you will receive a weekly e-mail on Sundays with a coupon for each person for each day. Before you go to the bowling alley, print your vouchers for your FREE games of bowling. Shoe rental is usually not included with the FREE games.
If you want to bowl with your children, then consider purchasing the Kids Bowl Free Family Pass for $24.95, which allows 4 named family members to bowl 2 free games each day all summer long. Again, shoe rental is usually not included.
When you get the Family Pass, you will get an e-mail confirmation that can be used immediately. Then on Sundays, you will get the coupons for each person for each day to print when you return. You can register at anytime for the Family Pass, so wait until you are ready to go to the bowling alley.
In using time wisely and looking forward to summer plans, register your children in Kids Bowl Free. I find bowling a nice backup activity if we need a change of pace. Of course, our family will need the bumpers to keep our young one at least interested. Happy summer planning!

Having just planted our spring garden, I’m amazed how close we are to summer.
With the cooler temperatures lasting much longer than a typical spring, I feel like summer is springing on me this year.
Don’t get me wrong, I love the cooler temperatures and have enjoyed the spring season.
My list of summer activities is started. Writing down all the items we really want to do helps as I plan each week.
If I don’t plan, then I end up with a long list at the end of the summer of activities we missed. If you are planning your summer, consider these summer activities. I will highlight at least one each week. Enjoy!
Ready to have a {bowling} ball this summer? Allow AMF to provide your children 2 free bowling games each day, every day, all summer long through AMF Summer Unplugged.
This program is free for children ages 15 and younger and available from Monday, May 13 through Monday, September 2, 2013. The games are free, but shoe rental is not included.
To get the free games, you must register each of your children. You will need to start a new registration for 2013. Even if you have been an AMF Summer Unplugged member in the past, you will sign up as a new user for 2013.
CHANGE FROM PREVIOUS YEARS: Without any vouchers or weekly e-mails, the center for which you signup will receive notification of your enrollment. You just need to check in as a Summer Unplugged member. This change is great as there are no coupons or vouchers to print this year. You just signup and go bowl.

If you want to join your children, then consider purchasing the AMF Summer Pass for $34.95, which allows 4 family members ages 16 and up to bowl 2 free games each day all summer long. Again, shoe rental is not included.
Though our family did not make it to the bowling alley in 2010, 2011, or 2012, I still signed up my kids. Paul and I purchased bowling shoes and the AMF Summer Pass in 2010, but we never made it to the alley. So, I bypassed the AMF Summer Pass in 2011 and 2012.
With the AMF Summer Pass available all summer, I can (and will) wait until we plan to bowl before purchasing the pass. One of these years, we will make it to the alley. When the time comes, we will be prepared.
In using time wisely and looking forward to summer plans, register your children for AMF Summer Unplugged. You have nothing to lose, so sign-up in case it becomes too hot or too wet for outside fun. Happy summer planning!

The annual Ben & Jerry’s Free Cone Day is Tuesday, April 9, 2013. Each customer will receive a free single cone with an ice cream flavor of his choice.
Since 1979, Ben and Jerry have offered Free Cone Day to thank their customers for their support and to celebrate another year of scooping success.
If you plan to visit your local Ben & Jerry’s, prepare to wait in line as this promotion is a once-a-year treat. For children, you might consider bringing a few small toys or books to invest in their lives while using time wisely.
For those of us too far from the nearest Ben & Jerry’s locations, take heart. More free promotions are on the horizon. Stay updated via Using Time Wisely’s Facebook event page for more family-friendly activities. Happy licking!
