Birthday Surprises

I may have written about this before, but if so, just count my post as a friendly reminder. ;-)
Just like stores, many restaurants have rewards programs, and if you like free food (who doesn't?), you should sign up at your favorite places.
My birthday is coming up soon, and today alone, I received three emails to come celebrate it at different restaurants offering a free bday surprise. Some offer a free entree, some a dessert treat, all free just for being in the program.
Of course, they know you most likely won't be celebrating alone, so they're still going to make money in the deal. But you want to celebrate somewhere, right? So you may as well get part of it for free. 
It's starting to make sense to me why I always seem to gain a few pounds around my birthday, and it's apparently not just from the cake! :P

Toy Score

You know how I always look for bargains, and pet supplies are no different. Food alone can be very expensive. I was in the store and there was a table of items on clearance. They all appeared to be for fairly small dogs, so I almost passed them by. But I decided to stop and take a peek, and sure enough, at the bottom of the pile there was a large SUMO bone and rope toy, perfect for Coco. It was apparently one left over from Christmas, so instead of $9.82, it was marked down to only 98 cents!!! 


The dog doesn't care what color it is, and neither do I. If you are familiar with the SUMO brand, these are very strong products which cannot be destroyed easily. So I was very happy to find it. Such a deal!
