If we could afford it, I would like to have faux wood blinds on our living room windows.  We have two really huge windows side-by-side which are great because we can look out into our backyard.  We have crepe myrtle trees, cannas, and some potted plants on the deck, and it’s really pretty when everything is blooming.  But we can’t afford new blinds now, even with a 40% off sale.  Hmmm…maybe someday!

Here’s a great buy from Central Market which has eight Texas locations.

Buy one pound in-store roasted turkey breast (from their awesome deli – no nitrates or nitrites in their meat) and receive these two items FREE:

• 7 ounces of Andrew and Everett mild cheddar cheese
• Sunflower Seed Bread (my guess is that it’s from their in-store bakery)

The two free items are valued at $6.98.   These are the makings for some delicious sandwiches!

This is a great deal!  Go to Get Spicy Chicken, enter your zip code, and the Chick-Fil-A locations in your area will come up.  Choose the location you want, choose the date and the time, and then make your reservation.  Hurry because they have a limited amount of free sandwiches at each location, and some locations do not have any reservations left.  Free sandwiches will be served during the week of May 31st  through June 5, 2010.

For those of you who enjoy a cold Frappuccino from Starbucks on a warm day, be sure to note that this Friday, May 7th, you’ll be able to get one half-price between 3 & 5 p.m.  Starbucks will be doing this again on May 16th.

I remember my first Frappuccino many years ago when our daughter was getting her hair cut (during her college years) .  Christi’s friend, Amber, and I didn’t want to wait at the Salon, so we went to a nearby Starbucks where Amber quickly  recommended a Creme Caramel Frappuccino.  It was so delicious!!  And I imagine it had zero calories.  (notice I said “imagine”)   I haven’t had very many of them because they really aren’t that healthy, but every once in a while I will have one for a special treat!

Go to Mr. Jim’s Pizza on Facebook, to “Pizza Offers” at the top and then to “Get My Code.”  You will be given a code to write down.  Then on April 15th, go to mrjims.com to place an online order.  Just type your code in the coupon box.  It’s that simple…& it’s FREE!  Yay!

Bring a reusable travel mug into Starbucks on Thursday and get a free brewed coffee.   Starbucks is encouraging people to use reusable travel mugs instead of paper cups in order to save trees.  They say, “One person can save trees.  Together we can save forests.”

This Friday, Jack in the Box is offering FREE french fries so everyone can try out their new fries.  Free sounds good to me!  We don’t often eat fries, but we’ll probably plan to this week.  And we have another Jack in the Box coupon, too, so that would be a good deal.
