Remember that surprise freebie I hinted at in Sunday's paper?
Be sure to check your Parade magazine. You'll find a coupon for a free Cherry Berry Chiller peeking out of the top of the magazine.
This is a new frozen drink McDonald's is offering. These typically cost $2 and up so a great freebie.
There's also a coupon for $1 off a medium or large frozen strawberry lemonade, frappe or fruit smoothie.
Two McDonald's restaurants in the Triangle are hosting coupon swaps this week.
It's a great opportunity to bolster your supply of coupons for Harris Teeter's ongoing Triple Coupon event.
The swaps are at 9:30 a.m. Thursday, May 17, at the following McDonald's:
Put your unwanted clipped coupons in an envelope and bring them to swap with fellow couponers.
If you've never attended a coupon swap, I highly recommend it. It's a great way to gather extra coupons for the products your family regularly uses.
McDonald's has a new frozen drink on its menu. And today only, you can try the Cherry Berry Chiller for just 49 cents.
The deal is good 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. today, May 15, at any McDonald's restaurant in the Triangle.
Mother's Day is Sunday, but there's no need to panic, even if you're short on cash.
This year, there are enough freebies to keep her busy all day long. And she definitely won't go hungry.
Keep reading for the complete list of freebies, which includes free DVD rentals, free admission to an IMAX movie, free breakfasts, free lunch, free desserts and more.
I'll continue to update the list as the week goes on so check back often.
Thanks to everyone who entered to win the McDonald's giveaway by offering up tips on how to save money while still indulging in a little fast food every now and then.
Coupons were a popular method. No surprise there. And more than a few people mentioned sharing meals to cut the cost and the calories. I like how you folks think!
I also liked the suggestion to skip the sodas and drink water instead. That's something we in the Centsible Saver household do.
As another reader suggested, we also sometimes bring our fast food home and supplement the meal with items out of the pantry.
Before we get to the winners, here are some other good solid tips:

I know. I know. The best way to save money on fast food is to NOT eat it.
And yet, the drive-up window beckons even the most frugal among us on occasion.
So we want to hear how you dine on fast food without busting the budget.
McDonald's restaurants in the Triangle will be selling small frozen strawberry lemonade for 25 cents today.
That's lemonade stand prices.
