Free KFC Grilled Chicken Meal coupons now being turned into a Raincheck??

I was checking KFC's site and saw this announcement regarding the free grilled chicken meal coupons that we were all printing just yesterday. They apparently had such an overwhelming response that they are not going to be redeeming any more coupons but will be issuing rain checks for varying time periods for a free meal AND a free Pepsi. Their website states that you still must bring your coupon to a KFC store before it expires on May 19th and they will give you the rain check form. I know my mom was able to redeem a coupon today at our local KFC so you may find that some stores are redeeming them and some stores are issuing rain checks. Leave a comment if you wish letting all of us know if you have been able to redeem your coupon or not.

Free Infant Baby CPR

Check out this website where you can take or brush up on your CPR skills. I am thankful for my job in health care that makes me keep my CPR certificate up to date. It is nice knowing that you would know what to do if you needed to perform CPR one day.

For my Atlanta readers - Free pancakes at Centennial Olympic Park on Saturday

Here's a great idea for a cheap family fun day in Atlanta:

Batter Blaster wants to break the Guinness World Record for the Most Pancakes Cooked in 8 Hours. To break the record they must serve 70,000 pancakes and they want you to eat them for FREE!!

So pack the kids (and maybe the dog!) in the gar and head to the Great Lawn at Centennial Olympic Park in Atlanta on Saturday, May 9, from 9:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. It really is all you can eat for FREE!

Do you ever wonder what your husband thinks of your coupon addiction?

To all the husbands of "couponers", this article written by the husband of a fellow blogger will seem quite accurate. If you need a good laugh and would enjoy reading the perspective of the husband's view point of our coupons, stockpiles, and Internet searching for the best deal check out this great post at The Bargain Jargon.

Wow! - 4 bags of coffee for $4.95 plus shipping/handling

Wow, I am loving this good deal! My husband and I are not necessarily coffee drinkers, but we LOVE gourmet coffee drinks. I have an espresso machine and we enjoy cappuccinos and cafe mocha's in the winter and I am getting the urge for a good frappuccino now that it is warm outside!! Yummmm! I am looking forward to trying out some new flavors of coffee and 4 bags for 4.95 + s/h is a great deal!

*** I just ordered mine - when you read the terms and conditions it states that by buying the promotional coffee you are actually enrolling in a program that will ship you the same amount of coffee at their regular prices every 4 weeks. So when you get your first order for $4.95 (and mine was free shipping and handling!) cancel your account before they send the next shipment. The terms state that you are allowed to cancel your account at anytime without having to buy anything else.*****

By the way here is a great recipe I use to make my homemade Starbucks Frappuccino!

Here's a cartoon for you today!

Maybe your shopping trip will end up like this for you today! I doubt it but it sure would be nice! :)

Sunday Sustenance

I read 2 new verses to this familiar song today that I didn't even know existed and wanted to share them with you.

"And Can It Be"

written by Charles Wesley

And can it be that I should gain

An interest in the Savior's blood?

Died He for me, who caused His pain-

For me, who Him to death pursued?

Amazing love! How can it be,

That Thou, my God, shouldst die for me?

Amazing love! How can it be,

That Thou, my God, shouldst die for me?

'Tis mystery all: th'Immortal dies:

Who can explore His strange design?

In vain the firstborn seraph tries

To sound the depths of love divine.'

Tis mercy all! Let earth adore,

Let angel minds inquire no more.

'Tis mercy all! Let earth adore;

Let angel minds inquire no more.

He left His Father's throne above

So free, so infinite His grace-

Emptied Himself of all but love,

And bled for Adam's helpless race:

'Tis mercy all, immense and free,

For O my God, it found out me!

'Tis mercy all, immense and free,

For O my God, it found out me!

Long my imprisoned spirit lay,

Fast bound in sin and nature's night;

Thine eye diffused a quickening ray-I woke,

the dungeon flamed with light;

My chains fell off, my heart was free,

I rose, went forth, and followed Thee.

My chains fell off, my heart was free,

I rose, went forth, and followed Thee.

Still the small inward voice I hear,

That whispers all my sins forgiven;

Still the atoning blood is near,

That quenched the wrath of hostile Heaven.

I feel the life His wounds impart;

I feel the Savior in my heart.

I feel the life His wounds impart;

I feel the Savior in my heart.

No condemnation now I dread;

Jesus, and all in Him, is mine;

Alive in Him, my living Head,

And clothed in righteousness divine,

Bold I approach th'eternal throne,

And claim the crown, through Christ my own.

Bold I approach th'eternal throne,

And claim the crown, through Christ my own.

The words in bold are my favorite phrases of the song. The 2nd and 5th verse were new to me and I love the words to the 5th verse - "Still the small inward voice I hear, that whispers all my sins forgiven..."

I hope that you can proclaim as the song says "No condemnation now I dread; Jesus, and all in Him is mine!" But if you can't, the words of the first verse are for you - "Amazing Love! How can it be, That Thou, my God, shouldst die for me?" Christ did die for you so that you can have no condemnation to dread and can be loosed from the chains of sin.

How is the Lord working in your life? Do you have a favorite song that has touched you this week? Leave a comment or email me to share!
