Last night I hit the streets with Henry in his stroller for our three mile evening walk. I try to mix up our route slightly each night to keep the boredom factor down. We live on the east side of Los Angeles, and ended up at Western and Los Feliz Avenue. What perchance do you think that I saw here? Well my friends, it was a Baskin Robbins that I hadn’t previously been aware of!
I made a mental note to tell my wife when I got home, we both LOVE ice cream! Luckily we don’t BINGE per say but we did get a little carried away while Sara was pregnant. It doesn’t help that we both share an affection for Baskin Robbins that is rooted in joyful childhood memories. I distinctly remember more than once, both of us laying in a bed and dreamily discussing our favorite things from the land of 31 Flavors.
Here are some of my favorite sweet treats from Baskin Robbins:
Clown Cone
Who knew that an ice cream cone turned upside down could be so much fun? Wow truer words have rarely been spoken. Many was the time that I stared longingly at the Clown Cone within the Baskin Robbins case as a child, and I have retained that fascination into adulthood. So much so, that my frequent rejoinder upon hearing that someone is heading to Baskin Robbbins is “You going for a clown cone?”
Peanut Butter Banana Waffle Bowl Sundae
Admittedly this one is not for amateurs, nor is it for someone who isn’t serious about a true ice cream indulgence. I might only go for one of these over-the-top waffle bowl sundaes one or twice a year, but boy do I love it every time I do. Two scoops of Vanilla Ice Cream and banana slices. It’s then topped with Reese ’s Peanut Butter sauce and chopped Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups and served in a freshly baked waffle bowl. My God.
Grasshopper Pie
Now it is my firm opinion that if you receive an ice cream cake or pie for your birthday, you will truly feel like you rule the world. I don’t think it really matters what ice cream flavor or style of cake is your favorite, they all achieve the same effect. The Grasshopper Pie is both the favorite of myself and my wife. Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream topped off with a fudge lattice design and loads of whipped cream in an Oreo Cookie pie crust. I dream of this every year, but rarely have I actually received it. I like to believe that it’s because I am a complicated creature, and that no one really understands me.
Speaking of birthdays…did you know that you can receive free ice cream and more at Baskin Robbins for your birthday? That’s right, join the Birthday Club and receive a free scoop! This is addition to special Baskin Robbins coupons, deals, and sneak peaks at new flavors and treats!

In my experience when times get tough (Ex:the current financial climate, AKA: recession) nothing soothes the pain of having an empty wallet like FREE STUFF!
Therefore does anyone blame me that I have literally been searching for “freebies”?! Well I don’t know if you guys were aware that Walmart has a great “Free Offers” feature on their site.
Visit the “Walmart Free Offers” page and simply select a free offer that interests you. A page will load that describes the free offer you clicked on and there will be a free sample link somewhere the page. When you click on the free sample link a pop-up window will open with the free offer request form. I went ahead and highlighted the links I mean in the image above.
Note: don’t be confused by the “Sponsored Links” near the listings — those are not the Walmart free offers.
Click on any of the links I included or the image to get your FREE SAMPLES! I just asked for some of those breah mint strips myself! Ha!
Also, it may not be free but if you need Wal-Mart coupons or Wal-Mart discount codes - Click here!

Okay so first of all, I have to admit that Popeye’s chicken is DELICIOUS! Straight up, may not be for you “lettuce chewing - carrot chomping folks”, but if you are in the mood for some juicy, tasty chicken then hit em’ up!! That said, I have to admit that I too would be disappointed if I went to my local Popeyes Chicken only to find out they ran out!! But NOT upset enough to waste my precious gas and go driving from city to city looking for a Popeyes that still had free chicken. I’m just saying…
Let me backtrack, yesterday they offered FREE CHICKEN to compete with El Pollos Free Chicken offer that I posted about yesterday. Well things started to get crazy when THEY RAN OUT OF CHICKEN!! It got so bad that they even featured the story on the news..
(Click on Image to watch the News Footage)
Okay now is it just me or was this news coverage totally racially slanted?! You mean to tell me not ONE single Asian, Caucasian or ANY other ethnicity was upset that Popeye’s ran out of chicken?! I am Filipino and I was disappointed. I live in Pasadena and was present at the Popeye’s on Lake and I can tell you that there were other people present besides African Americans that were sad they closed early.
This news footage plays like an SNL skit, totally plays into the stereotype that “African Americans LOVE their Chicken”. I mean not to stir the racial pot but how would you light folks feel if I ran a newscast about how a bunch of Caucasians lost their cool when they ran out of organic vegetables at Whole Foods? Not so funny now is it? (Actually, that image is pretty funny.. but you know what I mean.. )
Well hopefully this Popeyes Free Chicken Offer won’t cause a ruckus.
Get $50 American Express Gift Card Good for Free Popeyes Chicken!
Click on this link or the image above. Good Luck ALL people who love Chicken!
