Denver Deal: McDonalds Coffee, Tillamook Cheese Tour, & Beyond Consequences Live

Denver Deal: McDonalds Coffee, Tillamook Cheese Tour, & Beyond Consequences Live

I received a new magazine on my desk today and one of the articles in the magazine is titled, “How to Add More Excitement to Your Week.”  I think we do a pretty good job at my house keeping it exciting. Sometimes even too exciting for my daughter’s taste (she would prefer to stay at home in her PJs all day). And I usually make sure to plan something fun for my kiddos each weekend – especially if it is a deal. But I realized that there are many of my dear readers who go out on parent nights or date nights. So as I hear of them I will be adding one or two to my blog in the future. Give me some feedback on the kinds of things you would like to see included.

McDonalds Coffee

Following last fall’s coffee offer, McDonalds is at it again with FREE small Premium Roast Coffee every day through September 25. Customers can get the coffee in the drive-thru or inside the restaurant at any participating McDonald’s in Colorado. There are no strings attached and you do not need to purchase another food item in order to receive the free small coffee.

Tillamook Cheese Tour

As part of the Tillamook Cheese’s “Loaf Love Tour,” the Tour will be offering free admission to the Denver Zoo on Saturday, September 17th for the first 200 fans who sport their brightest & wildest Tillamook Cheese orange.* Orange-clad fans arriving after the first 200 tickets will receive $1 off admission. (This shouldn’t be too hard in Bronco Country). Once inside, zoo-goers will have the chance to experience the Loaf Love Tour and receive cheese samples, coupons, play games like Loaf Love Tour bingo. Maybe you can get someone to say “cheese” for that photo!

Children’s Museum Hop, Skip, & a Jump Start 5K
Join the Children’s Museum for the 5th Annual Hop, Skip, & a Jump Start, this Sunday, September 18. The fitness experience is for the whole family with stroller walk, infant crawl, toddler trot and a kids route.
Rodizio Grill Wild Game Night
I usually tell my kids that they can not tell me they don’t like something until they try it. I must say, I’m excited to take my own advice as I plan to embark on a Wild Game Fest at Rodizio Grill (yes, I will try the rattlesnake)!  For one night only, Monday September 26, enjoy a special 4-course meal with dessert included for only $19.99/person (normally $32.99 without dessert). In order to receive the special deal, guests just have to mention the blog and/or Twitter user they heard about this from. These guests will join the party in our private room to make it one big celebration!
Consignment Sales
It is that time of year again for great consignment sales. If you know of one shoot us a line.Children’s Consignment Sales. Thousands of shoppers find bargains on kids’ clothing for newborn-preteen, toys, strollers, furniture, baby equipment, books, shoes, maternity items and more…all at 50-90% below retail.
  • *Sept 16-18. Shop Kids Event. Friday  9a-7p, Saturday 9a-4p; Sunday 9a-2p (Half price sale). At the  Twin Peaks Mall in Longmont.
