Zaxby’s: Zax Kidz Club

by

Zax Kidz ClubWhen I shared our vehicle coupon holder, I dedicated one slot for our Zaxby’s coupons. As members of the Zax Kidz Club, my children receive coupons for free cookies and Kidz Meals in the mail. The coupons are kept in our van for our visits to Zaxby’s. Yum!

Zax Kidz Club

The Zax Kidz Club is free for children ages 10 and younger. Simply register and wait for the coupons to come in the mail.

My children have received coupons for a free cookie in celebration of Valentine’s Day (with a coupon for a friend), Mother’s Day (with coupons for Mom), and Halloween (with a coupon for a friend). For back-to-school and their birthdays, my children have received free Kidz meal coupons.

Zax Mail Club

Though not as glamorous as the Kidz Club, the Mail Club registration is also free. Shortly after signup, I received a postcard coupon for a free meal deal. Then during my birthday month, I find a coupon for a free nibbler in my mailbox. 🙂

With the option of a quick snack or inexpensive meal, the Zax Kidz Club and Zax Mail Club offer a special outing for families. Registration is free and quick with a great return on investment of time.  When the coupons come, file them in your vehicle to use when you visit Zaxby’s. Happy savings while using time wisely with your family!

Question: Do you have a Zaxby’s nearby?

Bruster’s: PJ Day – March 2, 2013

Bruster's: PJ Day

For some reason, I seem to miss this promotion every year, but this year I received an e-mail announcing Bruster’s PJ Day. Next Saturday, March 2, 2013, participating Bruster’s Real Ice Cream shops will grant one free single-scoop waffle cone per guest dressed in their pajamas.

This only happens once a year, so don’t miss your chance for a free ice cream cone without having to change out of your PJs.

Check with your local Bruster’s to verify their participation. You don’t want to show up looking ready for bed if there is no free ice cream to be had. 🙂

Mark your calendars and plan a special family outing for a sweet treat at a participating Bruster’s while wearing your warm, snuggly PJs.

Happy PJ Day!

Question: What is your favorite flavor of ice cream?

Coffee lovers will enjoy the generosity of Burger King.

From February 18 through March 10, 2013, Burger King has discounted their small hot and iced coffee to 25¢.

Though I am not a coffee drinker, my son enjoys the iced coffee version. I’m sure my girls will pick at theirs. But for less than $1, we can enjoy an inexpensive after-school treat.

As you are out and about, Burger King’s  25¢ small hot or iced coffee may provide the little heat or little cold you need. Enjoy your cup of joe!

Krispy Kreme Doughnuts: Good Grades

by

Good gradesHappy March 1st! Though it is still quite cold, I’m looking forward to Bruster’s PJ Day this weekend. Sweets are really hard to resist especially when they are free.

Have I mentioned that a new Krispy Kreme Doughnuts opened near us? Though I do not pass it every day, the weekly reminder is enough to draw me in. Of course, the Valentine coupons we have must be used in March, so we cannot let those coupons expire.

Last week, my children and I stopped by for an after-school treat using our Valentine’s Day coupons. After enjoying our doughnuts – sprinkles for my girls while my son and I chose a new Oreo cake doughnut, my son and older daughter showed their report cards for 6 glazed doughnuts each.

The manager came out to congratulate them and honor them with their half dozen doughnuts reward. As I was more impressed than my children with the manager’s kindness, my kids love the reward for getting good grades.

Reward: For each “A,” “B,” “E,” or “S” earned on your student’s report card, Krispy Kreme Doughnuts will reward him or her with an original glazed doughnut up to a limit of 6.

My children enjoy sharing their doughnuts at the breakfast table. Working together, they make sure everyone in the family gets a doughnut in celebration of a quarter well done.

Thank you, Krispy Kreme Doughnuts, for encouraging my children to work hard by offering a sweet reward. Our family enjoys your generosity. Yum!

Krispy Kreme Doughnuts: Daylight Savings Time

On Sunday, March 10, 2013, those of us who participate will set our clocks ahead one hour. Though it seems like we lose an hour, we are actually cashing in the extra hour we banked in the fall.

In springing ahead and redeeming our hour, we can joy a sweet benefit. Celebrating Daylight Savings Time, participating Krispy Kreme Doughnuts locations will give each guest a free original glazed doughnut on Sunday, March 10, 2013.

With no purchase necessary or coupon required, you and your family can enjoy a sweet treat together. Check this listing for participating locations, set your clocks forward, and spend time with those you love enjoying an original glazed doughnut.

If you still have Valentine’s Day coupons remaining, those gifts expire on Friday, March 15. You definitely don’t want to lose an opportunity for a free doughnut of your choice. 😀
