VETERANS' DAY FREEBIES!

Let me first give some mad LOVE and HUGS to B & B Country Garden Inn , located in Apex, NC for showing their appreciation for vets by offering a FREE night's stay at their amazing Bed and Breakfast! Kudos to you Beth McKinney!

Many places list veterans' discounts, but I always use www.military.com (thanks!) for the latest and greatest on deals, and other military benefits throughout the year.

One of the biggies that I'm taking advantage of first thing in the morning is a FREE oil change at Meineke!  Yay!!!
