    I was one of the lucky recipients of the Papa points from Papa John’s. I had already had enough points for a free pizza, so I was able to claim two free large 3-topping pizzas last night. I swear the pizza tastes so much better when it is free! :D

    I used the McDonald’s “free Happy Meal w/ the purchase of a Value Meal” the other day. We had a long doctor’s appointment and needed a quick lunch. I ordered the Double Cheeseburger meal and a chicken nugget Happy Meal, the total was $3.86! My 2 kids and I split that and there was plenty. It was cheaper than eating off the $1 menu and it was a special treat for the kids :)
