If you are unfamiliar with Schwan’s, they are a food delivery company, specializing in frozen foods and ready to cook meals. Schwan’s does deliver in the Greenville area. To deliver in my neighborhood, they do charge a delivery fee of $1, though I don’t know that this would be the case everywhere. So, you could order something just below $5 and pay less than $1 with the gift code. If you aren’t going to be home, you’re options are UPS or having the food left in a “cold bag,” but the charges for those make the coupon code rather ineffective.

Note that Schwan’s drivers earn their living off of a commission, and they will obviously attempt to sell you more. They may schedule bi-weekly return time unless you mention you would not be interested in further services. Obviously, this is not normally a bargain food supply service, but there are several reasonably priced items (such as pizza or frozen bread dough.) I have not had anything from Schwan’s for at least 10 years, but some of my childhood friends’ parents used to order from Schwan’s, and I especially remember the amazing blackberry juice and sundae cones!

Head to Bruster’s Ice Cream this Saturday, March 7, wearing your pajama’s, and you’ll be rewarded with a FREE single scoop waffle cone!  Go here to find nearby locations. (There are several in the Greenville area!)

Thanks to Melyssa for contacting me about this, and to Jessica for posting about this on her blog.

Yep, free food #3 for this week: Chick-Fil-A, Chipotle (I missed that one ), and now Bruster’s!

For those who can’t see the picture, free Chick-Fil-A breakfasts continue on Wednesdays at Haywood Road and Laurens Road locations through March 25:

• March 4:     Sausage or Chicken Burrito
• March 11:   Chicken, Egg, and Cheese Bagel
• March 18:   Chicken Biscuit
• March 25:   Chick-n-Minis

Chipotle is coming to Greenville!  In celebration, they’re offering free samples on Wednesday, which I’ve heard means free burritos!  They’re located here, on the corner of Market Point Drive and Woodruff Road.

You can go here to Greenville Online’s article to read more about the opening.

It’s a way for the Denver-based Chipotle to introduce itself to the market, said Barbara Moase, the restaurant’s general manager. Anyone stopping by the grill from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., Wednesday, can have one of the company’s gourmet burrito or entre, and a drink.

Thanks to Miss Destructo for letting me know about this deal!

Spatula and Spoon (kitchen supplies) will be closing Saturday, February 7.  Everything is currently 50% off, but I imagine things may be more deeply discounted by Saturday.  M-F hours are 10a.m. to 5:30p.m.  The store is located at 4383 Wade Hampton Blvd, Taylors, SC.
