....it is $.50 small iced coffee day at Dunkin' Donuts day. Now, while this is cool, it is not entirely awesome, I must admit. A small iced coffee doesn't cost more than $1.50 on a regular, non-awesome day. So it's not a huge save. I mean, why not just give it to us for free? If I'm reaching in my pocket for fifty cents, personally, it doesn't hurt my heart too much to get a couple more quarters. Is anyone with me? I will definitely say that I am not a stranger to how much of a difference a little can make when saved up. Um, I've been redeeming cans and bottles left and right for my fundraiser and have made almost $100. Needless to say, though, the NON-FREE-NESS of it all won't stop me from visiting my local DD (or all 14 of them?) for small iced coffees in exchange for a measly fifty cents.
....to make up for DD's seemingly awesome promotion, Ben and Jerry's is lighting up my heart by handing me a free cone today. It is as though they are saying, "Jaq, we love you. Dive in." Oh man, I wish. What would it be like to dive into their freezer-ed containers of ice cream? I'd say, "Forget the ice cream scoop, I'll just climb right in." Can you imagine? Anyway...I'll try not to think about how my sister gets free Ben and Jerry's all the time because her friend is a manager at one of the shops around here. Well whatever. It's the principle of the thing. Free ice cream for me. Heavenly.
Well this made me think, wouldn't it be amazing if certain places that had something even more awesome to offer me, had promotions? Well back up, coffee and ice cream, can't get much better than that. But...can it?
*Buy one form of produce, get 6 more free. I buy a lot of groceries and spend way too much money on them. I have to justify it because I spend a lot of money on healthy food and I wouldn't start buying junk food to spend less. I also would never stop eating so much. I love eating. Therefore, Market Basket needs to promote their stores. It's not like they're already crowded way too much these days.
*Go to 3 days of work, get 2 days off. Heck, I would even go for a half-day off for every 3 days. Landmark is good about providing its workers with benefits like a free masters, free breakfast and lunch, etc., because they want to hold onto their faculty. I think I should threaten my leaving if I don't get that promotion. No? Bad idea? Oh.
*Recycle a car, get a new car. Aren't we all trying to "Go Green?" What better way!? It's a win-win.
*Free ideal future-husband day. Do you see how this is one day that is obviously temporary, but provides you with a permanent relationship?
...my intention in writing this blog was not to lessen the awesomeness of this day...but sometimes, I don't know, the free idea future-husband day seems to trump 'em all.
Please raise your invisible free cone and/or your $.50 iced coffee and shove it in front of you....cheers.
