I love Quizno&#8217;s, but I don&#8217;t go there much, because it&#8217;s hard to spend less than $10 for a meal.  I guess I just need to get with the times, because it&#8217;s hard to go to any self-serve restaurant that&#8217;s not fast food and spend less than $9 or $10 bucks.  </p>
<p>Anyway, all you have to do is follow the link below, type in your information, and an email will be send to you to confirm your email address.  Check your spam folder if it doesn&#8217;t show up in your inbox, because Gmail filtered it into my spam folder.  Also, if you don&#8217;t want to be on there mailing list, I am sure you can simply unsubscribe to it once you receive your first email.  </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Lines are long to vote today, but there are a few companies trying to make it a little easier for you to vote today.  Starbucks is giving out a free cup of their original brew coffee.  The corporate owned Krispy Kreme stores will be giving out star-shaped glazed doughnuts.  Also, Ben &#038; Jerry&#8217;s will be giving out a free scoop of ice cream today.  Originally, you had to prove that you had voted with the &#8220;I voted&#8221; sticker, but I think the companies have rescinded this requirement because it violates election law.  </p>
<p>So, go out and get fat while you vote!  <strong>Related Posts:</strong>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I end my three part post party with a reality check. If you were wondering if the end times were upon us, the following should set you straight:</p>
<p> <a href="http://www.gasforfree.com">GasforFree.com is your answer to rising pump prices</a>, and will also visually pollute commutes across America. And though I may sound like I am above putting graphics on my car for gas money, IÃ¢â‚¬â„¢m not. I scoured this site for information in the hopes of never having to pay for gas as long as my black/gold paint job holds the vinyl stickers on my Saturn. </p>
<p>My Ã¢â‚¬â„¢96 vintage disqualifies me from the savings, but maybe you will qualify.</p>
<p><strong>To get free gas you must:</strong></p>
<p>Ã¢â‚¬Â¢ Own a vehicle that is between a 1998-current model year.  (they take classic cars too)<br />
Ã¢â‚¬Â¢ Drive an average of 1250 miles per month. (Urban Areas, University Campuses, and High traffic areas earn bonus points)<br />
Ã¢â‚¬Â¢ Be the registered owner of the vehicle.<br />
Ã¢â‚¬Â¢ Have a valid driverÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s license.<br />
Ã¢â‚¬Â¢ Have valid insurance.<br />
Ã¢â‚¬Â¢ Have a clean driving record.</p>
<p>I would also mention that you may have to be ok with your vehicle plugging the local topless joint at your childrenÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s soccer games. </p>
<p>So maybe this isnÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t the best way to beat the system, but itÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s good to know you have some options. Obviously, the current way we do energy business isn&#8217;t working. Erik may not agree with my hippie views on this one (I recently moved to Los Angeles) but these high fuel prices may be just what we need to leave fossil fuels for good. Usually, major market trends start with a group of well connected evangelists who find and adopt new ways to practice and, thus, preach it. I don&#8217;t have the answers re: global warming, MPGs, free market woes, and why the media loves BO, but I know that we MoneyCrashers can be the crazy street preachers that come up with innovative ways to beat broken systems. </p>
<p>Who knows. You may just see Erik&#8217;s face on every shirt in Urban Outfitters someday. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Are you crazy enough to dress like a cow just to receive a free meal?  Chick-Fil-A thinks you are, so they are challenging anyone who is willing to dress like a cow and visit their store tomorrow, July 11th. If you do, they will give you a free meal.  </p>
<p><a href="http://www.qsrmagazine.com/articles/news/story.phtml?id=6834">Here is the full article</a></p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;The July 11 event marks Chick-fil-A&#8217;s fourth annual Cow Appreciation Day celebration. Last year&#8217;s event&#8211;and the resulting turnout&#8211;confirmed that Chick-fil-A has a strong following of customers willing to go to great lengths to show their appreciation for cows. Thousands of customers visited Chick-fil-A restaurants across the country dressed in cow-themed costumes, ranging from simple cow-spotted t-shirts to full cow suits complete with furry ears, cow bells, and homemade sandwich boards with personalized renditions of Chick-fil-A&#8217;s &#8220;Eat Mor Chikin&#8221; Cow messages.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>I love Chick-Fil-A.  I think this is a great promotion.  It&#8217;s ridiculous, but I will definitely visit one tomorrow just to watch the people that come in to get a free meal.  I would participate, but I have to play nurse and take my wife to get her wisdom teeth taken out.  Ouch!<strong>Related Posts:</strong>
