Besides the 60¢/1 Kellogg’s Raisin Bran coupon in the PARADE Magazine (see post here), I found a McD’s Sheet of Coupons (B1G1′s on a bunch of their food), a sheet of coupons for Shoney’s, and a $5/$25 coupon sticker on the front page of the Orlando Sentinel’s Orange Extra section. I will have more detailed info up later, but I am in a time crunch right now and just wanted to make sure that you don’t let these sheets go through your fingers.

Random.org has spoken and we have our two winners for the McDonald’s Coupons for FREE Real Fruit Smoothies or Frappes.

MichelleA (marb…) won the Grand Prize and will receive 10 (ten of the coupons)

Laura (RGoo…) was the second random number generated by Random.org, and will be receiving 5 (five) of the coupons.

Congrats Michelle and Laura.

I was just at McDonalds.com and found a link to current promotions, and what did I find, but a link to print a $1.00 OFF coupon, which expires on August 15, 2010. Please note that if you decide to print this coupon, it will take up the majority of an 8.5″x11″ sheet of paper.

Of course, if you want to try a new Real Fruit Smoothie or Frappé at McDonalds FOR FREE, enter this contest and the lucky winner get 10 coupons (with the runner up receiving 5 coupons).

This coupon for ONE 12oz McCafe Smoothie or Frappé at McDonald’s will expire on 8/15/10 is in the July 18, 2010 issue of PARADE Magazine. The coupon is VERY EASY to find because it extends past the top of the page that it is attached to.

Now for the fun part, because we have some wonderful neighbors and friends, we have way more of these coupons than we will possibly be able before they expire.

CONTEST TIME:
Winner of this contest, which will end on Sunday, July 25, 2010 at 11:59PM EDT, will be mailed (to an address supplied by the winner after being notified by FrugalFloridian.com) 10 (TEN) of these coupons. The second place winner will receive 5 (FIVE) of these coupons.

Because these coupons are expiring on Sunday, 2/28/10, Tuesday, 2/23/10 is the last day we will be mailing them out. To see what other coupons you can request, go here.

Hello all. Sorry for not posting much so far today, I have been running a few errands and catching up on mailing out the coupon requests.

Though I have not had a Big Mac in years, I decided to try a McD Big Mac snack wrap. For a $1.49 you get a wrap that contains a McD’s burger patty (cut/chopped) and all the other stuff that goes into a Big Mac. With my B1G1 coupon, from the WOW! MORE McD Coupon sheets, I drove away with food for less then 2 bucks.

You might be wondering if I really just ordered the snack wrap, and yes, that was all I ordered because I ALWAY have at least a 6 pack of FREE Publix Water in my car. I figured that for a buck forty-nine that I couldn’t go wrong, though my Dr. and Kathy would tell me otherwise. Very easy to hold, and yes, it tastes like a Big Mac. Plus, after you are done, you do not feel stuffed due to the buns that the original uses. Would I get another one of these, yes, but I don’t usually eat at McD’s. When I go with our kids I usually steal a few of their nuggets and fries.

After running some errands, I decided to try the KIND bar at Starbucks. Of the three outlets I either drove to or called on my phone, only one of them even knew about the promo and that store did not know about it until someone told them about it today. These are not Starbucks inside Super Targets, but regular stand alone/part of a strip center outlets. I tried the store in Ocoee, and they said that they did not know about the promo either until this morning. Oh well, so much for my using my Starbucks GC on some coffee while I sampled the KIND bar flavors.

Now, for the really fun part, that I predicted to friends, but gave the Egg Board (the people that brought us that jingle, “The Incredible Edible Egg”) the benefit of doubt. I found out about the two hoops to jump through on Facebook offer the other day, and alarms were already sounding in my head. You know that as soon as the opened the link to get the coupons, the servers were going to get jammed, and people would be unhappy. Signed on to Facebook at around 11:45 and yep, there are some mighty unhappy people. No, I have not yet received my coupon for FREE Eggs, have you? WOW! As I type this I have been trying to get my FREE egg coupon, I have advanced to the form. Here is what it looks like:

BTW, talking about Facebook, have you become a Fan of FrugalFloridian?

Now I just sit back and wait for the coupon to arrive via email, so far, no dice. Has been about 20 minutes or so.

Now I am going back to figure out the shopping list for our Publix run later this afternoon.

Due to a generous neighbor, we have received more of the McDonald’s coupon sheet that I talked about on Sunday.

The coupon is on the inside cover of this brochure, which I found at the Orlando/Orange County CVB Office just off of International Drive. Some of the fine print: “10 and under. One Free Children’s Meal per adult Extra Value Meal purchased. Meal is All-American Meal (meaning no toy).”

When my daughter and I head out to one of the theme parks, we usually stop at one of these McDonald’s. Had no idea that her meals could have been free this entire time.
