Another Tuesday Freebie: Haagen-Dazs Scoop

I didn't make it to a Cold Stone Creamery for my free Mother's Day cone, so my gluttonous ears perked up when I heard that Haagen-Dazs is giving away free scoops tomorrow, May 13. There are limitations, though: Only one flavor is free: the chain's new vanilla honey bee, and the free cones are only given between 4 p.m. and 8p.m. So much for taking advantage of my stay-at-home mom status and getting there at 10 a.m.

Just as well, in my case. I checked the store locator and the closest Haagen-Dazs to me is at O'Hare airport -- only 2 and a half miles away, but with today's gas prices, I'm much better off serving myself a scoop from my freezer, about 4 yards away from this computer. In fact, I think I'll jump the gun and do that right now.

As always, it's a good idea to call your local and make sure they're not a bunch of stingy-butts and are participating in the promotion.

And thanks to Money Saving Mom for the tip-off.

Free Ice Cream Day Is Tomorrow!

April 29 is that day we've all been waiting for, the day when Ben & Jerry rain their delicious ice cream cones down upon the public for free. Or at least their teen-age employees dish it out to those of us without day jobs who have time to wait and wait and wait in line for the chance to save a buck or two.

You can go here to find an emporium participating in the free mass brain freeze -- just check the box for "participate in Free Conde Day" before searching.

Thanks for the heads up from my source for just-about-everything in home economics these days, Money Saving Mom.
