I hit the dollar menu at Wendy’s today and got a pleasant surprise. The fellow at the register asked me if I wanted to donate $1 to the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption and since I think adoption rocks, I said “sure.” Well, that $1 I spent for a good cause reaped me five coupons for free Jr. Frostys. The coupons are valid from 11/1/09 to 2/10/10 at participating Wendy’s.
I see some cheap dates in my future. And potential bribes for some of my co-workers.
Out of curiosity I looked up nutritional info on Frosty on Wendy’s website:
Calories 580
calories from Fat 170
Total fat 19g
Saturated 12g
Trans fatty acids 0.5
Cholesterol 40
Sodium 210
carbohydrates 91g
sugars 78g
I normally don’t look at calories, just saturated fat and sugars.
But with shakes, one needs to look – I’ve seen some shakes out there that have 2,000 calories.
Uff da – I think I’m going to keep a couple of these coupons for me and my honey and get rid of the rest of them.
Thanks Nika.
Nice find! Way to get an unexpected reward from a good deed.
