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.

Question: What do you have planned for the weekend?

If you are crazy enough to dress from head to toe in cow attire, then Chick-fil-A will give you a free meal on Cow Appreciation Day, Friday, July 13, 2012.

If you are a little chicken, then you can get a free entrée with partial cow attire (e.g., shirt, hat, etc.).

By now you know that our herd will come with our cow attire.

Cow Appreciation Day on July 8, 2011

Since we take part each year, I invested in making t-shirts and saving the cow hats from a kid’s event sponsored by Chick-fil-A for last year’s special day.

The only problem this year is making sure that our shirts still fit. 🙂

Mark your calendar, create your costume, and enjoy a free breakfast, lunch, or dinner at Chick-fil-A next Friday, July 13, 2012. You’ve got one week, so get mooving! 😉

Question: Will you dress up?
