11:23 Email and A Free Slice




A few months ago a person handed me a card about a new email service in Boston. They were offering to send me an email at 11:23am with deals for lunch and more. Of course, I signed up right away. A few weeks went by with no emails. But finally, they have been sending them on Mondays. Go to www.1123am.com to sign up. You can specify 4 different neighborhoods in Boston. Website says more cities coming soon so check back if you don't live in Boston.

One of today's deals was a BOGO at The Uppercrust Pizzaria on Newbury Street. I got 2 slices of Buffalo Chicken on Wheat for $3.82, the price of one slice. That is a great deal for a couple slices of gourmet pizza in the Back Bay!

Free Amp Energy Juice

On the way to the train tonight they were handing out free Amp Energy Juice. It is too late in the day for an energy drink so I haven't cracked it open yet. It looks pretty tasty though. No High Fructose Corn Syrup, so that is good. The 42 grams of sugar and caffeine would probably give you a good boost. Maybe I will give it a try in the morning.




Here are the ingredients and nutritional facts, if you are interested:

3 more Freebies from Boloco




On Monday, Boloco posted the following on their FB page:


"Any food photographers out there? Top 3 pics of any @boloco salad sent to buzz@boloco.com by 5pm tomorrow get Boloco Cards w/3 freebies."

Since I had a recent pic of the free Asian Salad Wrap that I blogged about last week. I shot the pic off. I didn't really think it would count for anything but sent it in for the fun of it and because I already had a pic handy.

I got a nice surprise in my email last night!

Last time I checked the free items had not been added to my card yet. I am not worried, though. I know they are good for them. It is not the first time I won some free items in a promotion!

Free lunch at Boloco

I cashed in my reward points for an Asian Salad with chicken wrap at Boloco today. For every $50 you spend, get 1 free menu item. I had never tried the Asian Salad wrap before. It was delicious. Hit the spot too. I was quite hungry. And I spent all my cash for the week already, so the free item saved the day. I didn't have to hit the ATM or break out a credit card for lunch.

Back In The Saddle

Well, I have definately been slacking on my blogging. I broke down and actually paid for an iPhone app to make blogging easier. Let's see if it works. I am sure I scored some free stuff over the past months, but I am not going to try and remember it all. I will just start fresh and do some quick posts as new ones come in.

Quaker Oatmeal Squares

I heard they were giving out these Oatmeal Squares at Back Bay yesterday. I was hoping they would come to South Station too. Got me 3 boxes this morning. I didn't think they tasted very oatmealy but they were good. Very crunchy.
