In celebrating our country’s independence, Earth Fare invites all Servicemen and Servicewomen to a Heroes Eat Free cookout on Sunday, June 30, 2013 from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
By presenting your fire, police, military, or veteran’s identification, all heroes get a FREE Burgers for Bucks meal, up to $5, at participating Earth Fare locations.
For those not familiar with the grocery store Earth Fare, you go to the deli section of the store, and the cookout is usually in front of the display cases.
You fill out a menu slip to place your order and give it to the employee. That employee will then fill your order and give you your food.
Then you proceed to checkout with your items and the ticket. At our local Earth Fare, seating is available.
Using coupons for FREE Burgers for Bucks meals, our family enjoyed lunch at Earth Fare last weekend. For the $5 price, we each received a good-size burger with lettuce and tomato and a generous helping of a side. Our choices of side included a large slice of watermelon, potato salad, or coleslaw.
The ticket indicated that adding cheese to the hamburger would cost an additional $.50, but at the cash register, we were not charged. I’m not sure if we were under the $5 limit, or if our Earth Fare is just generous.
To all Servicemen and Servicewomen, we thank you for serving our country. As a small token of appreciation, enjoy a FREE meal at Earth Fare as Heroes Eat Free on Sunday, June 30, 2013. Happy celebrating!

July is National Ice Cream Month, and Marble Slab Creamery is offering a buy one, get one for 30¢ offer all month long.
Celebrating Happy Hour from 12:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, guests who purchase a small or medium combination can purchase a second for 30¢.
If my girls chose, they would both settle on a Bear Necessities made with sweet cream and two scoops of gummy bears. My chocolate chip cookie dough-loving son might go with the Cookie Classic served with a homemade cookie and vanilla ice cream.
My favorite is Cookies ‘n Cream with vanilla and two scoops of Oreo cookie crumbs. Yum! Hubby is the more adventurous one. He likes to try something new like the Caramel Peanut Butter Crisp complete with sweet cream, crushed Butterfinger, chocolate chips, and caramel.
Though our summer is not as hot as usual (due to all the rain), we can still celebrate National Ice Cream Month. Planning a trip to your Marble Slab Creamery in the afternoon with a few friends may be the ticket to a fun activity for all. Happy National Ice Cream Month!

Every weekday from 2:00 p.m. to close, Bob Evans restaurants will grant a free kid’s meal with the purchase of each adult entree throughout the month of July.
As a family-style restaurant with Tuesday evenings Family Night, Bob Evan’s locations welcome families to their tables.
Though we have Bob Evans restaurants locally and my coupon binder is filled with kids eat free offers, our family has visited one or two times for family gatherings.
I remember the food tasting well. We have not returned as there are so many restaurant options between our home and that location.
If you are looking for a good home-cooked meal, especially if you are traveling during July, then check for a Bob Evans at dinner time. Enjoy spending time with those you love!
