I’ve recently gone on a health kick. It’s because I’m getting married next year, and I want to look great in the dress (duh) but eating really healthy can be a real pain in the butt. I used to just shop based on store sales and discounts – if I had Frosted Flakes coupons, I’d eat cereal for breakfast for a while, if oatmeal was buy-one-get-one-free, I’d eat that. But the most healthful things aren’t always the most cost-effective, and that’s only one part of the problem – the foods high in nutrients like fiber are rarely the highest in flavor. I’ve had enough cardboard cereal to know!
After two months on the pre-matrimony diet for masochists, I nearly jumped for joy when I flipped through the paper and found Frosted Flakes coupons for a new cereal that’s really the trifects: healthy, delicious, and affordable. What is it” Frosted Flakes with Fiber and Less Sugar! I’ve loved Frosted Flakes since I had teeth to chew cereal, but I thought I’d have to give them up in favor of “grown-up” cereals with more nutrients and less sweetness. This is the perfect compromise, and I’m so excited to see Kellogg’s improving classic cereals with the advanced nutrition so many consumers are looking for. I hope healthy Captain Crunch is next!
I get really lost on the internet. I log on with the intention to check my email and print Rice Krispies coupons, but I end up watching penguins on youtube and reading about how Kate Middleton does here eye makeup. Last week, I somehow found myself perusing the web page of DeBrito Chocolate Factory, which ultimately leg to me spending fifty dollars on various varieties of caramel apples. I had buyer’s remorse almost the instant I hit “Order” but all of my guilt was washed away and replaced with total joy when my order arrived a week later.
DeBrito has more than 36 varieties of candy apples in every flavor you can imagine, and all five of the flavors I ordered were awesome so I’ll bet the other thirty-some varieties are equally tasty. This family-run factory began with Arlene DeBrito, who began making chocolate dipped apricot candies for friends and customers of her husband’s farm implement business for Christmas but whose creations became so in-demand that Arlene decided to open up a candy factory to supply all her fans with the sweets they loved.
Today, the factory still uses the best California fruit and premium ingredients to make all sorts of scrumptious sweets, including the decadent candy apples that are my new obsession. In an adventurous mood? Try the “Great Balls of Fire,” a caramel covered apple rolled in spicy chili-mango and chili-lemon peanuts and drizzled with milk chocolate. How about the sweet and salty “Peanut Butter Crunch” Apple, which is covered in caramel, marshmallows, pretzels, and peanut butter drizzled with chocolate? My favorite is the “Earthquake” apple -- caramel, rice krispies, peanut butter, all dipped in chocolate. Come to think of it, the rice krispies component of my favorite apple is probably how I got to the hunt from Rice Krispies coupons to DeBrito’s site – thank goodness for the digressive potential of the internet, or I never would have found my new favorite treat! You can get one of these yummy apples delivered direct to you from Debrito’s site.
Who says McDonald’s isn’t a classy place to take a lady on a date? While conventional wisdom suggests that McDonald’s is at the bottom of the fine-dining totem pole, these three super-swanky McDonald’s locations prove that McDonalds coupons can in fact be the key to a very nice meal indeed for those lucky enough to live nearby.
Number One Fancy Golden Arches Location: NY, NY
This restaurant was designed by NY-based Studio Gaia to work with an “Urban Living” theme designed specifically for city locations. This store has a range of custom seating options from loungers to bar stools to banquettes, so diners are encouraged to sit down, stay awhile, and enjoy their meals they way they might in an upscale coffee shop – which is certainly unexpected from a bastion of the fast-food industry. With its light wood floors, artful wood ceiling, pendant lights, and streetscape artwork, this store is definitely more high-end restaurant than quick-service chain!
Number Two Fancy Golden Arches Location: Porto, Portugal
Porto’s Café Imperial is something of an architectural marvel, so when it was turned into a McDonald’s, controversy ensued. The former coffee house has been classified as a national monument, so McDonald’s has argued its heritage by restoring its historic features, including lovely stained-glass windows. McDonald’s has also put its distinctive stamp on the location, though, as evinced by the imperial-inspired McDonald’s sign outside and the chandeliers hanging from the high ceiling inside.
Number Three Fancy Golden Arches Location: Holborn, UK
French Interior designer Philippe Avanzi designed this McDonald’s location in 2006, and it’s a great place for jet-setters to use their McDonalds coupons. This store’s less-is-more aesthetic has a sleek contemporary look that has high-end designer furniture paired with rich textured surfaces of leather and timber.
It’s not summer without a cookout, and it’s not a cookout without coleslaw. You could bust out a few KFC coupons and pick up some slaw for your next get-together, but there’s something about home cooking that really adds to the experience (plus, you can claim the praise when guests ooh and aaah over it!).
Here’s a recipe for killer coleslaw based on KFC’s killer side dish that’s sure to compliment your next cookout perfectly.
INGREDIENTS
8 cups finely-chopped cabbage (approx 1 head)
¼ cup carrot, shredded
2 tablespoons minced onion
½ cup mayo
1/3 cup white sugar
¼ cup milk
¼ cup buttermilk
2 ½ tablespoons fresh-squeezed lemon juice
1 ½ tablespoons white vinegar
¼ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon salt
INSTRUCTIONS
For a really scrumptious slaw, the cabbage and carrots need to be very finely chopped – aim for pieces the size of rice.
In a large bowl, combine mayo, sugar, buttermilk, milk, lemon juice, vinegar, salt and pepper. Beat until smooth.
Add cabbage, carrots, and onion. Mix well. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours minimum. This recipe serves 10 to 12.
Who wants to spend time slaving over a hot stove when it’s already hotter than a firecracker outside? This recipe rocks because it’s quick, easy, and inexpensive – the perfect pot-luck contribution that’s also a universal favorite. Of course, if you can’t be bothered to chop cabbage, you can always print out a few KFC coupons and grab some on your way to the party – but then all credit goes to the colonel!

What’s the coolest job in the world? There’s probably not one right answer, but Rick Golden’s job description comes pretty close. Rick is the Research and Development Manager for Dunkin Donuts Bakery, which means he’s responsible for creating the tasty treats you use your Dunkin Donuts coupons on!
Rick says his donut-creating team calls him the “Ambassador of Dunkin Donuts” and “Manager of Donut Excellence,” but he’s basically a donut-loving dude with a cool job.
He started working in the original Dunkin Donuts location in Quincy, Massachusets when he was just 14 years old. From the store level, he moved up in the company and became an Operations manager and then donut baker before joining the company’s culinary team. He earned a degree in restaurant management while working his way up, but Rick thinks that the familiarity he gained with the brand from a young age got him to where he is today.
Rick likes donuts because they make people smile. He says his research team seeks to make donuts that are first and foremost delicious but that are also simple enough that they can be replicated in individual stores.
Rick also acknowledges that a lot of donut innovation comes from the people who use Dunkin Donuts coupons most – the customers often provide inspiration for baked creations. That gives me hope that, though I’m already ten years too old to get my foot in the door at Dunkin Donuts like Rick, I might still be able to make a splash in the donut world.
Spam may be an object of ridicule here in the US – we’ve even appropriated its name as a label for junk e-mails – but in Japan, the canned meat has so many fans that the execs of Burger King Japan are betting people will line up to swap their Burger King coupons for sliders made from the packaged precooked meat product.
For whatever reason, the small sandwiches are being marketed primarily to women, with the slogan “What women want, women get.” I find it hard to imagine that women are demanding Spam in Japan or anywhere else, but Spam is evidently extremely popular in Japan and the sliders are expected to sell well.
This isn’t the first time BK has spammed it up. In 2007, the restaurant added the Spam Platter-- two slices of the stuff between rice and scrambled eggs – to its breakfast menu in Hawaii.
Spam is as big in Hawaii as it is in Japan, and Hawaiian residents consume more than 5 million pounds of Spam every year. There are more varieties of Spam sold in Hawaii than anyplace else in the world, but there are no plans to debut the BK Spam Sliders in Hawaii as of yet.
BK Japan seems particularly invested in bringing its consumers distinctive reasons to use Burger King coupons, as they also recently introduced the “Meat Monster” sandwich, which is like a Whopper with two beef patties, bacon, and grilled chicken.
