McAlister’s Deli: Free Tea Day – July 26, 2012

Free tea at McAlister's Deli on Thursday, July 26, 2012

As a tea drinker for over 30 years, I have my favorite ice tea establishments. Though my children are only 7, 5, and 2, they are extremely picky about their sweet tea. Of course, mom’s tea is always best, but I do expose them to other tea makers. Unfortunately, their taste buds are stuck on the tea brewed at home. 😉

Last year, I took my kiddos to McAlister’s Deli for a free refreshing sweet tea on Tea Day. Knowing how picky they are, I took the chance.

Though they were not ready for McAlister’s tea, I didn’t mind it. The tea was not my favorite brew. I would prefer Chick-fil-A or Wendy’s, but I liked McAlister’s tea.

If you enjoy sweet or unsweetened tea or just want to try it, then mark your calendar for Thursday, July 26 for a visit to McAlister’s Deli and enjoy your free tea.

Note: Our McAlister’s Deli had a separate line on Tea Day last year. Our family did not waste time standing in line. We were ushered right up to the counter and received our free tea.

Question: What is your favorite choice of beverage?

On the heels of Flag Day, we have National Flip Flop Day. Before the e-mail from Tropical Smoothie Café arrived, I had not heard about National Flip Flop Day.

Evidently, this “holiday,” invented by Tropical Smoothie Café, occurs on the third Friday in June – which happens to be today!

In celebration of their holiday, Tropical Smoothie Café will give every customer sporting their flip flops a free 24 oz. Jetty Punch Smoothie today from 2:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. in one of their more than 300 cafés nationwide.

In addition to their generosity, Tropical Smoothie Café will accept donations for their favorite charity Camp Sunshine.

When you are out and about today and need refreshment, stop by your local Tropical Smoothie Café, enjoy your smoothie, and give (as you can).

Though not coinciding with National Flip Flop Day, Old Navy’s $1 Flip Flops One Day Wonder sale is coming on June 30, 2012. The limit is 5 pairs per customer; so mark your calendars, adjust your schedules, and shop early if you want in on this deal.

Happy Flip Flop Day!

Question: If you could make up a holiday, what would you choose?
