Punch Pizza. Get your favorite classic pizza for just $3 when you bring in this coupon (you can either print it or show it on your phone). Plus, you’ll get a free punch on your card when you watch the video and give the cashier your answer to this bonus question: How many basil leaves are on the pizza that comes out of the oven?
Your turn: What other free car seat clinics do you know of? Are there any places you know of where you can always go to get your car seat checked out?
Where are Punch Pizza restaurants located?
Sue – There’s a list of locations here.
The Holiday coupon says “valid for $.90 free gas in Wi & MI”. Does that mean we can’t use this in MN?
Angie – No, I think what it means is that it will ring up at $0.90 total in WI and MI and $0.05/gallon in MN. There must be a legal necessity to include that, or they’re just giving WI and MI residents $0.90 off regardless of how many gallons are purchased.
great! thanks for clearing that up! :)
Yes they cannot discount per gallon in wisconsin due to state laws. They can give a set amount discount however.
Ok, I don’t know if this is cheating or not, but I watched the video 4 times and can’t tell if there are 3 or 4 leaves! There might be 2 on the right side of the pizza sort of overlapping… maybe I should tell them I don’t know and why and see if they give me a free punch?
Most car seats are not installed correctly — if they were to be involved in an accident. They’re just in the car for the infant/child to sit in. Go to the Minnesota Safety Council’s website; click on Safe Kids MN (on the left) & then click on Minnesota Child Passenger Checkup Clinic Calendar.
Don’t assume that your seat is installed correctly. Let them install it for you free. You will learn a lot!
Thanks for the information, Nancy! I’ll highlight this in a future post – very helpful!
