Today in the weekly annoying coupons that are shoved in my mailbox were coupons from McDonalds & Wendy's-both for their breakfast items (in case you were unaware of the big battle o' the breakfasts), Taco Bell and a friendly reminder about BK's $1 breakfast.
I don't recall an onslaught of fast food coupons like this.
Follow the instructions there, and read their articles and you will keep your dog alive for more 5-8 years more than expect!! They publish new and exclusive articles every single day.. believe me!!
The BK in our area must be slightly different. It requires that you purchase a drink *and* fries to get the "free" whopper. If you add up the cost of the drink + fries (their highest profit margin items) and compare it to a combo meal.... well, a penny saved is a penny earned is almost accurate.
Regardless, the tradeoff is essentially $1 for whatever amount of time you spend on the phone to get the code.
But hey, I was glad to learn about this. I never paid any attention to the back of BK reciepts before and in fact ate lunch there specifically to get a reciept.
You're probably right about the coupon usage. I haven't heard anything that says that I can't do this every day. Yet.
But man, I could care less what the kid behind the counter thinks of my cheap ass. I'm nice as can be to all of the people who work there, because I've certainly flipped my share of burgers. My survey-free-burgering isn't affecting the employees bottom line because they don't work on commission. When it comes to minimum wage workers, your consideration and patience, as a customer, are honestly the only perks to the job. You can make or break someone's day, so don't sweat the coupon madness and give the poor kid a smile and tell them they did a great job.
So I'm not sure if this would work for me or not. Incidentally, I heard on NPR today that Burger King is going to start treating some of their animals better before they become food.
Has anyone noticed that "I heard on NPR that..." is sort of my version of "And this one time? At band camp?"?
Unless there is a audible or written request to not complete the survey more than once in a given time frame there isn't any reason why not to use your land line. But really can how many consectutive days can you a whopper? Also I would do it just for the look on the minimum waged employee at the counter. "Haven't I seen you with this coupon before?"
I have to confess that I've done something similar to this, although I never bothered with the sesame seed bun. But when you need a tall, stacked burger on a budget (that sounded bad, didn't it? Like that episode of the Cosby Show), you have to improvise.
...of I-AM-BORED. Nice to know my post got a mention there, and it certainly explains the spike in traffic. Of course, can't look at that site at work...no time to be bored, know what I mean folks. Ahem.
I once told a carny that I knew all the games were rigged and that I would never consider wasting money on his little ploy. He then got out of the booth and proceded to throw all three of the baseballs into the bucket.
Being organised means that you are less likely to misplace things and more likely to review your finances and enable yourself to make better decisions.
I'm not sure that being de-cluttered makes you wealthier, except that if you stop buying stuff to fill up your space that will surely help. Maybe being cluttered is a symptom of some underlying thing that is preventing you from becoming wealthy. Then again maybe thats not true for everyone.
If you are interested in decluttering and being organised, I'd recommend the message boards on www.organizedhome.com
Take a teaspoon of vinegar (any kind) and swallow when you have heartburn. The vinegar forces the stomach to replenish its natural acid, pushing the tainted acid out.
The guy was travelling all that time, liked fast food and didn't try BK? Hmm, Tarantino, I see a plot hole here. Doesn't stop it being one of the best movies ever made though.
Jules: They don't call it a Quarter Pounder with cheese? Vincent: No man, they got the metric system. They wouldn't know what the f* a Quarter Pounder is. Jules: Then what do they call it? Vincent: They call it a Royale with cheese. Jules: A Royale with cheese. What do they call a Big Mac? Vincent: Well, a Big Mac's a Big Mac, but they call it le Big-Mac. Jules: Le Big-Mac. Ha ha ha ha. What do they call a Whopper? Vincent: I dunno, I didn't go into Burger King.
the most effective i have ever heard actually annoys me a bit. if you have a relative (in-law, whatever) employed in law enforcement, carry a picture in your wallet. Make sure the officer sees the photo; even make it a point to show how proud you are. Believe it or not, this bribe works. I personally find it offensive, and if you get burnt for it - you deserve it! ... I personally loath those "don't you know who I am?" types (or perhaps secretly envy them and am in denial)
I also call shenanigans. I don't believe this bit for a second:
"the pasteurization process deforms and denatures the proteins in milks to such an extent that when we drink it, the body mounts an immune response instead of deriving instant nourishment"
That's ridiculous. Heat denatures proteins, but it's not going to elicit an immune response. By the same argument, you could say that eating a fried egg or some baked beans would cause a similar reaction.
That's enough for me stop listening, even if there's good information sprinkled among the bs.
Great post ! flipped through from lifehacker all the way in from New Zealand! - yep we get internet down here too.
I agree with the other kiwi posted above -- how about a follow up article on how to identify 'the dream' ... I know heaps of people have an itch to become more -- but they just don't know what...

Hey, I started out mopping the floor just like you guys. But now... now I'm washing lettuce. Soon I'll be on fries; then the grill. And pretty soon, I'll make assistant manager, and that's when the big bucks start rolling in.
Look... me and the McDonald's people got this little misunderstanding. See, they're McDonald's... I'm McDowell's. They got the Golden Arches, mine is the Golden Arcs. They got the Big Mac, I got the Big Mick. We both got two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles and onions, but their buns have sesame seeds. My buns have no seeds.
...that involves throwing balls into metal buckets. But here's the scam. The bottom of the bucket is convex and the bucket is angled just right, so the ball almost always bounces out. How nice!

I don't know how he did it.
This looks dangerous. I think I would be too afraid. With my luck the batteries would explode for sure.
A McDonald's tie-in with "Grindhouse." A Rose McGowan machine gun-legged toy in a Happy Meal would make my day.
Yeah I'm From I Am Bored Baby =]

By the way, from those jackasses at the EPA :
"Additionally, vehicle air conditioners consume more energy than any other auxiliary vehicle equipment. In the United States alone, vehicle air conditioners consume 7 billion gallons of gasoline every year."
P.S. Classy response Paul.

The complete list of 254 is from the link in the article, as I explained. 254 posted here would have been a very long post indeed!
