Free Food

• Kids eat free at Boston Market through the end of October. Kids are considered to be those age 14 and under (cool, both my daughters qualify) and you must spend at least $6 on an adult meal to get the free kids’ meal (I can handle that).

Admission on the House

• These are the last two days (October 30 and 31) for children 11 years old and younger to receive free admission to visit the San Diego Zoo and San Diego Zoo’s Wild Animal Park.
• Free tickets to the new movie “New Moon.” How does that sound?

Carson St. and Tuesday, November 3 from one PM to seven PM at Dingbats, located at Pittsburgh Mills. The first 250 donors who schedule an appointment for either drive by visiting the Central Blood Bank website or by calling (412) 209-7080 and then providing the drive code “Q002″ for November 2 drive or “Q003″ for the November 3, when they show up to donate blood, they will receive a free pair of tickets to a special midnight screening of Twilight: New Moon.
