Fun Halloween websites for the kids

Janet Pare

This week brought some interesting mail. My hubby got a coupon for free Ore-Ida extra crispy easy fries and a Mazda brochure with a $35 test-drive reward. I got a coupon from Uno's: buy one entree, get one free.

Chick-fil-A sent me a coupon for a free large Dr Pepper.

My favorite for the week is a sample bottle of Head & Shoulders shampoo.

I hope you all get lots of freebies, too!
