Free ice cream: Cheap Trick Thursday
Mark your calendars: get a free Lil' Rounder ice cream sandwich at Carvel stores from 3 to 7 p.m. on Thursday, September 24 --- otherwise known as Customer Appreciation Day.
Lil' Rounders are made with Carvel soft-serve ice cream served between two Oreo cookie wafers.
On that day, an 18-pack of the treats will also cost $9.99. You can also print out a Carvel coupon to save $3 off an 18-pack. The coupon expires on September 30.
But that's not the only cheap ice cream available on September 24 ...
... because Cold Stone Creamery will give away free 3 oz. cup of "Jack's Creation" to anyone who donates to the Make-A-Wish Foundation between 5 p.m. and 8 p.m. on Thursday, September 24.
The 3 oz. cup is the "Like It" size, and the ice cream concoction won't be freshly mixed but scooped from what the site terms as a "ready to love" pan.
ON ANOTHER NOTE ... A lot of folks around me seem to be marking the anniversary of their nativity, and based on my Google search, October is the most popular birth month, according to the site Anybirthday.com. So, here's a reminder to sign up for all the birthday freebies that we've told you about before -- including the Baskin-Robbins birthday club and the Cold Stone Creamery birthday club.
