Outback for Military -- 11/11

YUM! Participating Outback Steakhouse's are offering Active Military and Veterans a free Bloomin' Onion and Beverage on Veterans Day.

And don't forget Applebee's is offering an entree.

Restaurants that are offering freebies to military members are doing a simple, but very nice, thing to say thank you. Those of us who aren't military should also remember to say thank you. Military families make many many sacrifices and deserve our gratitude.

We can thank the restaurants by patronizing them.

Off my soapbox now...

Arby's for Military -- 11/11

Participating Arby's locations are offering Active Military and Veterans a free Regular Roast Beef during normal business hours on Veterans Day. Proof of military service is required.

AutoZone loans tools

I didn't know this, but AutoZone has a Loan a Tool program. If you want to do auto repair yourself, but need a tool you can borrow one from them. Cool! You put down a deposit and get it back when you return the tool.

Big thanks to Tiffany at Living as Mom for cluing me in to this!

On a related note: Recently my van began starting very sluggishly. According to my husband, it could have been one of several parts going bad. He took it to AutoZone, they tested and said it was the battery. The battery had been purchased there and was still under warranty. Scott said he had the receipt, but the employee said it wasn't necessary, all info was in the computer and he would bring out a new battery. Scott started taking the old one out, the employee was back in a few minutes with the new one, took the old one and wished Scott a good day. GREAT customer service.

Teachers Lounge sale (STL)

From The Teachers' Lounge newsletter: "This week all Safari museum quality replicas including Toobs are half price. Choices include animals, dinosaurs, princes and princesses as well as knights and horses.'

Hasbro/ToysRUs deal


Hasbro has a huge rebate opportunity HERE. Games need to be purchased by 1/31, but do not need to be on the same receipt. I'm not sending mine until I'm finished with after Christmas sales, just in case. ;-)

Toys R Us has a Hasbro sale AND deal this week. Games are on sale, plus a $25 purchase gets you a $10 gift card at check out. Details HERE.

TRU has 7 Hasbro games priced at $3.99 and all have a $2 rebate available. Purchase all 7, qualify for the $10 gift card, receive a $14 rebate and get all 7 games for less than $4. Not too shabby! The rebate is only good on the 'original' versions of the game, character versions do not qualify. You can also only get one rebate per game, so be sure to buy one of each.

Locals, I went to South County TRU last night and got 6 of the $4 games (they are out of Hi Ho Cherry O). To get over $25, I bought one of the $8 games for a Son2 gift. While it doesn't qualify for a rebate, it was almost 50% off. Some of the games are for Toddler Diva, most are for a toy drive. And I have a $10 card to use on Black Friday. :-D

Have fun hunting!

Delicious Frugal Meal

This Lentil and Brown Rice Casserole is meatless, cheap, and delicious. I used about half the cheese called for in the recipe and it was still yummy.

Facebook and Walgreens

If you are a Facebooker, become a fan of Walgreens. On Oct. 2nd, Walgreens will release a code to their Facebook fans that is good for a free photo book (just pay shipping).

I am not on Facebook, but I am seriously thinking about signing up just so I can get in on all the great deals that I see.

Leap Frog sale

Leap Frog is having a sale. Items HERE are priced at $9.99. I scanned the page quickly and saw a few things Toddler Diva will like for Christmas. There are also lots of Tag books, some Leapster, some Didj.

Starbucks Taste Challenge

I'm always up for a Starbucks Challenge! Now they want us to come taste test the new VIA instant coffee. Ummm, okay. :-D They say it's so good you can't tell it apart from brewed.

Musselman's coupon

Printable coupon HERE for $1 off Musselman's Totally Fruit or Healthy Picks applesauce. Walmart reportedly has the 4-pack priced at $1.50, making it very cheap after coupon.

Smuckers Uncrustables

While cute, the idea of buying PB&J sandwiches goes against my cheapness. :-D However, for free, I'll surprise the kids ... and they'll think they're getting a great treat. Go HERE and submit an after-school organizational tip. The first 20,000 tips will receive an emailed coupon for a free 4-pack of Uncrustables within 6 weeks. 4-Pack? I guess I get one, too.

COUPON

Free Custom TShirt

VistaPrint offers printing services for cheap...and some for free. I have family calling cards that I ordered (for free) from them quite a long time ago. The quality is very good.

Right now you can order customized white Tshirts for free (just pay $4 shipping). VERY cool idea for gifts, especially for kids. The free Tshirts have a line about 'free Tshirts from VistaPrint' under the picture. If you don't like that, the white Premium Tshirts do not and are on sale for $4.74. Both Basic and Premium Tshirts have an option of gray or black for an additional fee.

I've never ordered shirts from VistaPrint, but I'm willing to try based on the quality of the business cards.

Magazines.com

Magazines.com offers magazines subscriptions below retail price. While I prefer the price of *FREE*, cheap is good, too. Some magazines just never pop up for free and a cheaper magazine subscription makes a great gift idea.

I recommend you sign up to receive updates and special offers via email (don't use your 'real' email, use an 'offers/newsletters' email). I receive three types of emails from Magazines.com:
#1-offers that highlight a sale on a particular magazine
#2-offers that have a $5 gift card code, some for a particular magazine and some for any

Best of All
#3-$5 Gift Card that I can use on the site or receive in cash.

The first time I received the email that said I could cash in the code, I was doubtful. However, it is legit. I got a $5 check a month or so later. Hello, Starbucks! lol

If you decide not to receive the check, $5 off the already lower prices can make a subscription very cheap and in some cases free. Whoo hooo, Free! ;-)

Swagbucks Toolbar

In September, Swagbucks is giving away an extra code each day, but only to those who have downloaded the toolbar. It downloads in just seconds. Thirty extra codes in Sept.? Very nice. There are a lot of prizes that are 30 points an under. Mp3 downloads are just 1 point.

A $5 Amazon gift card is 45 points, so just the extra codes in Sept. will get you close. Use the site to search and you'll likely get the other 15 very quickly. I just cashed in two $5 Amazon gift cards when buying some shirts. It was great to get $10 off my purchase.

National Cheesecake Day - 7/30

sigh Such an important holiday absolutely *must* be celebrated....and it's my little brother's birthday.....and he loves cheesecake.....so to be a good big sister I definitely should take myself to The Cheesecake Factory for half-price cheesecake in his honor, right? Of course I should!

The Cheesecake Factory is offering half-price cheesecake for the holiday (dine in only) and premiering a new flavor - Red Velvet Cheesecake. drool As if that's not enough, for each slice of Red Velvet sold over the next year, The Cheesecake Factory will donate 25 cents to Feeding America. So, how can you say no? Raise a fork, help raise money for charity, and think 'Happy Birthday' #34 for my baby brother. :)

McDs free drink coupon

Go HERE to take a short, and silly, quiz. At the end, you can print a coupon for a free drink at McDonald's. The coupon will have your name on it and expires literally 72 hours (to the minute) after printing, so do it when you know you'll be able to use it. I used mine today for a medium mocha (any friends surprised?) after the vet and it was free-free, no tax charged. Gotta love that! 8^D
