Where to get 2 free kids’ meals with adult order
There are a number of restaurants that offer free or reduced-price kids’ meals with the purchase of an adult entree — Tumbleweed Southwest Grill on Sundays, Golden Corral everyday (for kids 3 and younger) and Gold Star Chili on Tuesday nights, to name a few.
But there also are restaurants that offer twice the savings, serving up two free kids’ meals with every adult entree.
Those restaurants include Denny’s on Tuesday and Sunday evenings, Lone Star Steakhouse all day Tuesdays and Captain D’s on Thursdays. These are dine-in only deals.
As with every chain restaurant offer, they are only at participating locations. And there are age restrictions that apply, with the cutoff age usually being 10 years old.
To find out more about restaurants that offer free and discounted kids’ meals, visit the Kids Meal Deals site and plug in your ZIP code to find the deals in your area.

TweetGet good grades? Get free stuff
Getting good grades is reward in itself but, just to sweeten that deal, here are just a few area businesses that give out free goodies to kids who get good grades.
To get these deals, kids need to bring in their report cards.
Chuck E. Cheese will give you 15 free tokens for each good report card (“A”s and “B”s).
Cold Stone Creamery offers a free kid-size cone for a good report card.
Family Video has a program called Report Card A, every June. For every “A” in a core subject, Family Video will give a coupon for a free rental of a movie or video game throughout June. The coupons do not apply to brand-new movies.
Krispy Kreme gives out a free doughnut for every “A” on your child’s report card, up to sixth grade.
Many businesses (like Limited Too, Applebees and Blockbuster) had report card deals at one time, but have since discontinued them.
If you know of any other Dayton-area businesses that reward students for good grades, comment below — these hard-working kids deserve it!

TweetHulu may start charging subscription fees
The Consumerist noted this weekend, June 6, that Hulu — the famously free provider of TV and movie content on the Internet — may start charging subscription fees.
The Consumerist cites the musings of Jon Miller, former AOL boss, who is now heading up digital initiatives at Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp.
Miller reportedly has already started making waves by suggesting Hulu might add or move to a paid subscription model.
Miller will have a seat on Hulu’s board since the Fox television network, a unit of News Corp., is part of the Hulu joint venture.
But would this fee structure doom Hulu? Only time will tell. But if comments be our guide, the reigning thought is that consumers will bristle at having to pay for something that they used to get for free.
