Posted by cheapbastard on May. 12, 2009, at 2:21 am

In an effort to draw attention to the plight of the honey bee, Haagen-Dazs is having a Bee-built Flavor Day on Tuesday May 12th.

From 4pm – 8pm (at participating locations) you can get a free single scoop of any of the Haagen-Dazs Bee-built flavors.

The only locations in the area are International Plaza and Countryside Mall, but I do not know if they are “participating locations.”

Bern’s Winefest No.12 – Grand Tasting recap from Cheap Bastard

Posted by cheapbastard on Apr. 20, 2009, at 4:20 pm

Typically, as Cheap Bastard, this would not be an event that I would attend since it is priced well outside my comfort zone. However, in true Cheap Bastard style, I scored a free ticket and the game was on.

I am no stranger to the juice. I love it so much, it is the one alcohol that I would keep if I were forced to choose only one type in some weird “Saw”-esqu nightmare (sorry beer & liquor). I have plenty of tastings under my belt and a more than cursory knowledge of grapes and styles, so I figured I was up for the challenge. In hindsight, I think I was wrong.

Free shit: Dunkin’ Donuts coffee on Wednesdays in Feb – Chick Fil A breakfast (ymmv)

Posted by cheapbastard on Feb. 11, 2009, at 3:06 am

Great way to start hump day… free coffee from Dunkin’ Donuts. According to television ads, the remaining Wednesdays in February, Dunkin’ Donuts will be handing out a free medium coffee with no additional purchase required.

Mark your calendars… 2/11, 2/18 & 2/25

I haven’t personally confirmed this in Tampa, but many Chick Fil A’s across the nation are offing a free breakfast promotion of sorts during February, including down in south Florida.

Examples of the promotions in other markets: return of the free Wednesday offer (chicken biscuit or one of the new options) and a free breakfast item weekday mornings (this is the south Florida deal).
Anyone want to comment back with a confirmation?
