To celebrate Yoforia's grand opening at the EpiCentre, head out that way for a free treat.


It's that time of year again.
The kids go back to school and people do some crazy shopping on tax-free weekend.
Which also means ... It's time for Chipotle Mexican Grill's "Free Food with Integrity" yearly promotion. It's like a delayed buy-one, get-one free deal.
Just eat at any Charlotte Chipotle restaurant on Tuesday, Aug. 2 or Wednesday, Aug. 3, and save your receipt.
Bring the receipt back anytime during tax-free weekend Aug. 5 - 7, and get a free entree (burrito, bowl, tacos, or salad). FREE. That's right. No tax or strings attached.
Win a free Chick-fil-A Breakfast ... of their new oatmeal and coffee. (Yay for heath-foodies. Boo for people who were hoping I was giving away chicken minis.)
Chick-fil-A launched their new breakfast oatmeal item yesterday Monday, July 25. Full of whole-grains and other goodies, it seems like it has the potential to be a delicious healthy option for breakfast. (I haven't tried it yet.)
Try it for yourself by winning a pair of coupons: one free oatmeal and a free coffee. I have a pile to give away! Just email me at priscilla dot tsai @ creativeloafing.com and tell me:
1. What your favorite healthy breakfast is.
2. Your mailing address so I can send you your coupons.
Make the subject line of your email "CFA breakfast."
First-come, first served. Good luck!

July 8 marks Chick-Fil-A's Customer Appreciation Day. As always, customers who dress up as cows will get a free meal. (Partial costume gets you a free entree, a head to hoof costume gets you a free meal.)
Heck, dress up the whole family and get free food for the entire herd.
Don't have any cow print in your closet? Chick-Fil-A's website includes a downloadable costume here.
Ikea is offering a free entree (worth $6.99) to students. Just stop by and show your student ID, along with this coupon (click to download coupon pdf).
This offer is good until July 2.
Go on and get some Swedish Meatballs!
(Oh yeah, and they have good soft serve ice cream too.)
When junk food is free, I consider it to be calorie-free too. Well, tomorrow is my favorite holiday because it entails free donuts ... Which means calorie-free donuts!
I'm here to remind you that Friday, June 3, is National Donut Day.
Enjoy a free (and calorie-free?) donut at Dunkin Donuts with any beverage purchase tomorrow.
More news from Terrace Cafe: They are now offering a deal on dinner.
Print out this coupon to receive 50% off your entree at Terrace Cafe, Tuesday through Thursday, between the hours of 5 and 7 pm.
Offer good throughout the month of June.
