To celebrate Earth Day, (which I realized has past,) Safeway has a little blue coupon book located at the checkout full of savings from various “green” companies.

One of them is a free 3.5 ounce cup of Ben & Jerry’s ice cream. These aren’t very big – but hey they’re free. After finding the coupon yesterday I returned, snagged another book from up front and got two without any problem.

It’s a good deal, and if you have trouble putting down the spoon on a regular size carton (like me) these portion controlling freebies may be for you. Or a treat for the kids.

Hit a checkout line first and pick up the little book called “because you care about the environment.” The Ben & Jerry’s coupon expires 5/26. There’s also a coupon for 50 cents off Cliff bars, another high carb favorite of mine.
