Have you been following the Birthday Freebies feature?
My son’s birthday is Wednesday so we’ve had some freebies coming in. I decided Saturday that we would have a “birthday day” and use some of our freebies.
We had a coupon for a free Hamburger Kids Meal from Burger King, a free cookie wyb a drink at Great American Cookie Company and $3 off a $3 purchase at Toys R Us.
Here’s a recap of our day:
We started out with an early lunch at Burger King. I ordered Bug his free hamburger kids meal. Since he doesn’t eat hamburgers, I ordered a 4pc chicken nuggets off the value menu and we switched. I ordered me a drink and we always split fries.
Here’s a picture of him enjoying his meal (and his dinosaur toy!)
Total spent at Burger King – $2.18
Then we went downtown to the mall. I had a few errands to take care of. While were were there, we stopped at the Great American Cookie Company and got a free slice of cookie with a drink purchase (it was a BIG slice of cookie too!)
Since I had to purchase a drink, our total spent was – $1.73
We also stopped to ride a truck inside the mall. That cost 75c. :)))
After we left the mall, we went across the street to Toys R Us. They were having a free Chuggington event. Bug got to play with the Chuggington train set and we got a free coloring sheet, poster and DVD with 2 Chuggington episodes on it!
After we played awhile, we looked around for something to use his coupon on. Since he has a birthday coming up, I steered away from toys. We looked through the books and found a Thomas the Train book with 2 stories and lots of stickers in it for $4.99.
After tax and his $3 off coupon, it was $2.44.
So our day out together cost us $7.10, we had lunch, a treat and here’s what we came home with:
I’d say it was a nice, frugal day out! :))) Having fun doesn’t have to cost a lot!
