maggie moos strawberryWith purchase of a treat, another is free. That deal is available at participating Maggie Moo’s shops weekdays from noon to 4 p.m. — at least while the promotion is offered.  The deal requires a coupon, which is accessible by “liking” Maggie Moo’s on Facebook.  The printable coupon is reportedly going to be on the Facebook site to June 17. The coupon entitles the customer to to a free  medium or large “favorite combination” item with purchase of another medium or large “favorite combination” item.  Because participation among shops varies, it’s a good idea to phone first to determine if a local shop is participating.

Shops in Broward are

  • 2571 S. University Drive, Davie, 954-382-1677
    Union Planters Plaza, 2422 N Federal Highway, Ft. Lauderdale, 954-537-0100

For more shops, a locator is on the website.

shellSave on gasoline at participating Shell stations  with purchases at other vendors.

The Fuel Rewards Network, which is available to join  free, offers savings on gas based on how much is spent at participating merchants. 

Members who shop at participating retail stores, including Winn-Dixie, as well as participating restaurants and online businesses save  on the per-gallon price of gas at participating Shell stations.

The rewards are earned by purchasing eligible products. Basically for each $50 spent on eligible purchases, the fuel savings is 5 cents a gallon. Some products or services offer extra rewards.

Winn-Dixie’s already established fuel rewards program is part of FRN.  Participating online retailers include Staples, The Home Depot, Best Buy and JC Penney. Purchases with E-coupons featured on the FRN website also earn rewards.

Information is available on the website about the program, signing up and linking the FRN card to  participating merchants.
