Vickie from Houston on the Cheap  gave me the scoop on a tasty family deal.  Bring your kids to the nearest Boston Market for a free kids meal when you make an adult purchase of $6.00 or more.  The deal includes up to two meals for kids 14 and under.  If you're really hungry, or have a large family, you can purchase a family meal and get up to 4 free kids meals.  You don't need a coupon but you do need your kids to be present.  It's a great deal for my family because my kids are 13 and 14 and love Boston Market chicken.  The deal runs through October 31, 2009.

Do you know of a Chicago bargain?  Enter a comment and I'll post the deal!      

Become a facebook fan of the Corner Bakery and tell them what you are doing to stay local this summer and they will send you a coupon for a free sweet.  Post pictures or stories about staying local and you could also be randomly selected to receive a coupon for a free BLT sandwich. this is another sweet deal from Jennifer Maciejewski of Atlanta on the Cheap ......

How do you show your love for dear old Mom?  Most people have a celebration on Mothers Day. Some people send flowers, cards and chocolates.  Others take her out to brunch or dinner.  However, there are those who aren't satisfied with just one day a year to celebrate Mom.  Some of these people get a permanent tatoo!  What better way to show Mom you love her every day of the year?   The folks at Kentucky Fried Chicken agree! 

KFC is having a daily give away now through Mothers Day for a chance to win a $10.00 gift check for Mom.  The check can be used toward Kentucky Grilled Chicken.  Be one of the first 200 people to register each day between noon and 4:00pm Eastern Time and you'll win a gift check for Mom.  You can also enter a sweepstakes to win a motorcycle or a family vacation for Mom by following this link.   Sending a photo of your tatoo is encouraged, but not required.
