Sensible Saving

L told me her friend at university is very careful with her money, as a student should be. In fact, she never goes to McDonald's for a meal without first printing out a coupon. You see, she saves her McDonald's receipts, and on the back of them, there is usually an opportunity to participate in their survey of your recent visit. Upon completion, you will be able to print out a coupon for a free medium fries or side salad and a medium soft drink with the purchase of a large sandwich! How neat is that? Of course, I tried it with my receipt as I'm a regular customer anyway. Guess what K got for dinner that night!  We were just having leftovers, so that came in handy for him.  You know, I don't normally check the back of my receipts, do you?

  1. We were at McDonalds yesterday. I didn't check the receipt. I wonder if Art still has it. Thanks for the heads up.
