On Friday, December 12, from 11a.m. to 3p.m., visit a local McDonald’s to taste “what’s cooking now.”  Samples vary by location and are limited to one per customer, but it may be a fun little pit stop if you’re running errands anyway!

Also, keep an eye out for $1 McDonald’s Winter Treat books. (I was redeeming one of my “free item coupons” from the Fall treat books when I spotted a sign for these.  :))  Some locations have sold out, but there may still be a few left elsewhere (call first).  I’ll update if I learn anything more, but these would have made great Christmas presents for some of my relatives!

Through October 31, at Wendy’s, you can purchase a gift book of 10 coupons for a “free Jr. Frosty” for only $1…which equals 10 cents per Frosty.  Coupons are valid 11/01/08 through 02/01/09!

Don’t forget that Friday, October 31, is also the last day to purchase the McDonald’s coupons.  Read more about what they include and where they can be used in Greenville here.  Updated: Since the original post a few weeks ago, I purchased a booklet and learned that it also included 3 coupons for a “free hamburger.”
