More Birthday Freebies - part 2

My birthday was on a Sunday this year so I was a little worried that I wouldn't be able to redeem a bunch of the rewards. But it turned out that I only missed out on Crumbl cookie.


Freddy's gave me my favorite mini concrete.

I shared my Carl's Jr western bacon cheeseburger with Dog Walker. I had to spend $5 on this one, so I just got a kids meal. After a few bites of the kids burger, I gave the rest to Curly.


Yeah, that's a full size burger.


Jimmy Johns gave me a regular-sized original. So good!

Not many places required a purchase, but Panda Express was a small entree, my choice, but I had to buy a side (less than $5.


Last one for today.


Kneaders just put $5 in my accout. The treats all looked amazing, especially the tarts! Eventually, I decided on a loaf of white bread. I had to pay less than a dollar with my reward.

Guess what?!

I have a lot more...

Ok, one more.


Like Kneaders, Cafe Rio just put $5 in rewards into my account. Kids meals are exactly $5. Chicken taco, rice and beans, orange chunks, with chocolate milk to wash it down.

Birthday Freebies, part 1

You all know it was my birthday last week, and one of my favorite things is birthday freebies. I have about 40 apps on my phone that are stores and food places. More than half do something free.


Maverik offered a free pastry. Their muffins are the best!


I got this little bundtlet from Nothing Bundt Cake. The kids made quick work of it. I didn't even get a taste.


Tide Cleaners gave me a $10 coupon so I got my peacoat cleaned.


I got a mcchicken from McDonalds.


And six wings from Buffalo Wild Wings. I had never tried their dryrub. Now I'm a fan!

Last one for now...


Chick-fil-A gave me a brownie. Yum!

More and More Quilts

A couple of weeks ago, Bossy and fam came over to help tie a couple of quilts. The big one was for her little boys' bed and the small one was for her sweet little girl. As you can see, the small one was made from the leftover blocks.

It took most of yesterday and a good part of today to get them bound. I hope they love them.
