This is a great deal you can pair up with my TCBY post further down. If you head over to Smokey Bones on 28th st. you can get dad a FREE meal when you purchase one that is the same price or more without going over $20. You need to stop by and pick up a coupon to do this, though. They have them available at the restaurant.

These coupons just keep coming! I used mine earlier this week. Go here and print off your coupon for a FREE travel size signature item at Bath & Body Works when you purchase anything.

FREE Bowling for Kids
AMF Bowling centers are offering a great new summer program for kids. They can get two FREE games of bowling per day. This does not include their shoes, though. But it's still a nice little deal. I believe you have to register on their website for this but I'm not certain. We have two locations that are participating. Eastbrook Lanes and Lincoln Lanes are joining in on the fun. So you might want to keep this in mind for rainy days.
