Free Qdoba food

This Friday, 7/30, Qdoba is celebrating its (their?) anniversary with buy-one-get-one-free entrees at the 3 area locations. No coupon necessary. See info here, or Qdoba's menu here.

Half Price Books coupons

Half Price Books has some coupons for next week (week of 7/12).

Also, they have a great kids' reading program for the summer in which kids earn free gift certificates after reading (or being read to) for at least 15 minutes each day for 5 consecutive days.

Finally, the Florence location has 50% off all clearance books this weekend. And when we were last there, they had a good bit of clearance material.

Cheap(er) cheesecake

So apparently 7/30 is "national cheesecake day" (sounds to me like a holiday our culture really needs). Cheesecake Factory will be offering "any slice" for "half price" -- currently, I don't see many details, but I'm guessing it will be restricted to dine-in customers. (But hey, have an appetizer and get some cheesecake.)

Also, if you become a Cheesecake Factory fan on Facebook, you get a personal invitation to "preview day" on 7/29, with which you can purchase a slice of cheesecake for $1.50. I'm not sure, but I'm thinking this beats the "any slice, half price" deal.

See the info -- and "like" Cheesecake Factory -- on its Facebook page.
