Recycle for free tix to Mikeschair

I am a huge fan of the band Mikeschair - so this is too awesome, imo.

Today from 11am-2pm, bring things that can be recycled to the Larkridge Chick-Fil-A  in Thornton and trade them for free tickets to a Mikeschair concert!  The first 50 people to drop off their items will also get free spicy chicken nuggets from Chick-Fil-A!

Free music AND free lunch - YAY!!

See Way-FM's FB page for details.

Weekender

Baby it's cold outside!  And I like it A LOT!
Hello snow,  welcome back!
We have lots of exciting plans for the weekend, broken up with periods of rest and relaxation -  it's the recipe for a perfect weekend, in my humble opinion!  Friday is ultrasound day, and I can't wait to see our little bambino again!  Friday night The Hub is also exercising his current favorite way to "make" dinner by ordering us Cosmos pizza (and bread sticks with Nacho cheese dipping sauce for me!  MMMMMMM)
Also this weekend we are getting a visit from Dr. Sissy, BIL, and Vaughny the world's greatest nephew - can't wait to spend some time with them!

So what fun and frugal things can you do around town this weekend?

Vote for liquid cheese!

Wear your "I voted" sticker into Qdoba today and get Free Chips and Queso today!  MMMMMM, Queso....

Or, you can print the FB post about it and take that instead of your sticker.

If Liquid Cheese isn't your thing, then wear your sticker and head for Good Times for a free order of fries instead. (Or, do both!)
