There is a Such Thing as a Free Lunch!

It's July eleventh or 7-11, which means participating 7-11s are giving away free slurpees! They're probably really small, but if you want you can hit up more than one and have a day of neverending slurpees.

Also, Chick-fil-a is giving away a free combo meal to customers who dress up like cows. A partial costume (t-shirt, hat) will get you a free entree. So if you're allright with walking into your local Chick-fil-a in a blue raspberry slurpee stained cow shirt, your lunch is on consumerism today.

Free Chicken and Slurpees. Enjoy!

For the Locals: Two Free Tickets to the Pacific Symphony!

Not "click here to WIN two tickets," just straight up free tickets. Go on over to the Orange County's Pacific Symphony website, fill out the form, and you're good to go.

Turn your free tickets into a cheap but classy date (or girl's night or guy's night) by cooking a fancy meal at home and then going out for dessert.

I have no idea how long this giveaway will last.

For the Locals: Books for $1

Random Find today in Orange County:

The One Dollar Bookstore!


There are literally thousands of books in this completely disorganized, but totally fun bookstore. And every single book is one dollar. There seem to be a lot of textbooks for the local junior colleges too.

For some reason, the One Dollar Bookstore hosts yoga classes on Tuesday and Thursday nights at seven. You can pay $11 or donate an hour of your time to alphabetizing books.

As I've said before, one of my biggest weaknesses is the book section at Goodwill. This place is even cheaper!
