Scion and I thank you for your service!

Free books for your e-reader

Ok, let me preface this by saying that I'm not the most tech-savvy person.  I think I'm one of the few people who hasn't gotten a kindle, nook, ipad or similar.  I'm so out of touch that the book I'm currently reading is held together by Tyvek tape because I've read it so many times that it's falling to pieces.Tyvek Sheathing Tape

Anyway, I have seen a couple cool places where you techies can get free e-books, so I figured you might be interested.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/bestsellers/digital-text?ie=UTF8&ref_=pd_dp_ts_kinc_1&tag=533643283-20
Amazon has 100 free books for your Kindle.  If you check out the page, the left side is the top 100 paid books and the right side is the top 100 free books, which they allow anyone to download for free.
I'm not sure if you can convert the format to use on other e-readers, but I'm sure that if you can... you guys know how to do it!

Yummmm!  Free coupon for an Avacado from Mexico.  This is a pdf so your store's acceptance of this coupon might vary.  The last time this coupon came out I used it at Target and had no problem.  Walmart is kind of a pain when it comes to printable coupons... but I'm hoping they will step into 2011 soon.  Good luck!  Grab it before it's gone!

Free cup of Yoplait yogurt

Free Cup of Yoplait Original Yogurt
Who doesn't love free yogurt??  It's a great way to get the calcium we all need, and it's yummy to boot!
Here's what the Yoplait website says about calcium:
"Many people fall short of the daily recommended amount of calcium, a necessary nutrient for strong bones and teeth. For example, 60% of women aren’t getting enough. Yoplait is a delicious way to help get your calcium!
It's no secret that calcium helps build strong bones and teeth, and helps keep them strong throughout your life.
Unfortunately, many people fall short of the daily recommended amount. In fact, 60% of women aren’t getting enough. Children aged 2-5 years fair better, with about 30% not consuming the recommended daily amount of calcium. However, roughly 60% of kids aged 6-12 years aren’t getting enough.
So how much is enough calcium?
The Daily Value on the food label is 1000 mg. So, if the label indicates that a food contains 20% DV it has 200 mg. All Yoplait yogurts provide at least 100mg of calcium per serving. In fact, our Yoplait Original yogurt has 500mg calcium per serving and our Yoplait Light yogurt has 200mg per serving."
Go to https://yoplait.com/get-your-free-cup and get your free cup before it runs out!
