Heads up, El Pollo Loco Fans: 
The chain just turned 30, and to celebrate, they’re offering 30 coupons in 30 days. Each day will feature a new one-day only deal (today’s is for a $3 Chicken Tostada salad–sounds yummy).
And there’s a coupon for a free chicken leg or thigh on National Chicken Day, September 15, 2010.

Yum–just came across this deal in my inbox:
For a limited time, Sonic is offering a sweet deal. They’re serving up 1/2-price CreamSlush treats. The deal is available all day, every day, at participating Sonic locations. They don’t explicitly state an end date, but the tiny type references September & October, so it may be valid through the end of next month.

My uncle is good 
about tracing our family’s roots; I’ll need to pass him this lead:
Through September 6, 2010, you can search Ancestry.com’s online databases for free. Per the site, it’s the world’s largest online collection of immigration records. I have no idea if that’s accurate, but it’s many more than I’ve ever browsed through, that’s for sure.
Thanks to Jody at Charlotte on the Cheap for the lead.

Through September 12, 2010, you can take advantage of a couple of Quiznos coupons:

I’ll be
downloading September’s free audiobook selection at SimplyAudiobooks: You can get a free audiobook download of “The Stolen White Elephant” by Mark Twain.
I may burn it to CD so that my oldest can listen to it, too. It’s time to expose her to more of the classics.
