Free Food!

Ikea is offering free breakfast this Saturday until 10:30 am. By "breakfast" they mean their $0.99 breakfast plate and a $0.99 cup of coffee (I wonder if they would substitute?). So, not a huge deal, but if you've been wanting to go, it might be nice.

Chick-Fil-A will give you a free 3-count box of their new chicken strips on September 1st if you come by wearing your favorite football teams attire or logo! The one in the mall should be participating (I don't think our new one will be open yet, but I'm not sure).

Speaking of Chick-Fil-A, I'm not sure when they are opening and it might be too late. But I just found out that they have a Grand Opening tradition of giving the first 100 people a free meal each week for a year! People start lining up 24 hours beforehand, but according to the website, if more than 100 people are there by 6:30am on opening day, they do a raffle to see who wins! It might be worth looking into if you're a big fan!

Walgreens $10 off $40 coupon

Click here for a $10 off $40 purchase printable coupon at Walgreens good Friday, August 29 and Saturday August 30 only!

If $40 sounds like a lot to spend at Walgreens, keep in mind that these two days you can buy the free after rebate items for both August (if you haven't already) and September! There is always a little overlap between the two months. So, use the coupon, spend $30 and get back $40 in the mail!

The store might not have the September Easy Saver Catalog, so look at it here before you go.

$5 Gas Card!

Follow this link to take a quick quiz and receive a $5 gift card for Chevron gas. Woohoo! Free trip downtown! :)

Supposedly any answers will get you the gift card, so don't stress if you don't know!

Prescription Hopping

If you have a prescription that needs refilling, spend a few minutes poking around to see if you can find a coupon to transfer your prescription. CVS, Walgreens, and sometimes Target frequently have these coupons out. Usually you have to transfer a prescription. A lot of times I'll start my prescription at HEB because I never see these coupons for them. Then I can transfer it wherever I have a coupon for when it's refill time!

Right now, if you transfer your prescription to Walgreens, you can get a $25 gift card with this coupon!

20 Ingredients Make 20 Meals

This isn't a great deal, but kind of a cool, frugal feature.

On AllRecipes.com, they have a list of 20 meals that can be made with a list of 20 ingredients (ok, so they cheated, because on the side is a list of spices and condiments that are also called for that don't count towards the 20). Still, I have almost all 20 ingredients and spices on hand at all times. It might be worth it to print the list out for inspiration on those nights when you don't know what to cook!

We've received Garrett's extra small shirt already. It's a little big on him, but when we opened the package he was thrilled. Whenever he wears it, he says, "I like it!"
