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?

Moe’s Southwest Grill: Free Queso Day – September 18, 2014

My taste buds have changed or, at least, become more tolerable to certain tastes over the years.

Paul has always liked southwestern food while I always struggled to find something on the menu that sounded good.

But after trying a little bit of Paul’s burrito each time he ordered it, I have acquired a taste for southwestern food.

Though I like the black beans, seasoned rice, and queso, I’m not wild about the guacamole and some of the tomato mixtures. However, I now have no problem ordering off a southwestern menu.

If you already love queso or just want to try it, then mark your calendars. Thursday, September 18, 2014 is FREE Queso Day at Moe’s Southwest Grill.

Each guest will receive a free 6 oz. queso with no purchase required.
The event will last all day – 11:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.

To find a participating location near you, check the Moe’s store locator.

Our family enjoys this freebie. I purchase a couple extra bags of tortilla chips as we can make the cups of queso (thick, white cheese dip) last beyond the chips provided.

In past years, we have found some locations will offer the queso for FREE, but charge for the chips. If I have chips at home, then we can just get our queso to go. Happy scheduling, and

Happy Free Queso Day!

Wendy’s: Key Tag Expires Sunday, August 31, 2014

Sadly, the Wendy’s Key Tag promotion expires Sunday, August 31, 2014. This delightful promotion offered numerous snacks and quick lunches throughout our spring and summer.

With each purchase, we showed our key tags and received a FREE Jr. Frosty in our choice of chocolate or vanilla. The small size was perfect for a refreshing treat.

If you have a Wendy’s Key Tag, then check the back of the tag for the expiration date. Not all key tags expire on August 31, 2014, but most of them do.

As a last goodbye to summer, we might need to make a stop on Sunday for our last FREE Jr. Frosty under this promotion. The vanilla is my favorite, but I have to remember to eat slowly to prevent a painful brain freeze. Happy refreshment!

Question: Do you get brain freezes (the pain headache when you eat something cold)?

Chick-fil-A: August Calendar Card Deal – FREE Large Drink

August 28, 2014 by Tracy

August is winding down already. I feel like it flew by.

Homeschooling is going great! I have so much to post, but my days and nights are invested in curriculum, grading, and preparing for the next day.

We are finding our groove and the learning is occurring in leaps and bounds. It is really exciting, and I love teaching my children all.the.time.

With all our happenings this month, we haven’t visited Chick-fil-A in August – yet. For the August Calendar Card Deal, each cardholder will receive a FREE large Coca-Cola soft drink of your choice. The card says soft drink, but most Chick-fil-A restaurants will substitute the soft drink for tea or lemonade.

If you have a Chick-fil-A calendar card, remember to snag your FREE large drink before Saturday, August 30, 2014. Though this offer officially ends on August 31, Chick-fil-A locations are closed on Sundays. Therefore, Saturday is the last day for this deal. Happy savings!

Question: How often does your family visit Chick-fil-A?
