Free Museum Admission Sept 24

Smithsonian magazine is promoting a free museum day (in the spirit of Smithsonian museums that are always free) with participating museums across the country. Go here and request tickets to one near you! For those of you in Pittsburgh the list includes the Carnegie Museums of Art and Science :)

Make a message board at Home Depot

Home Depot has another Free kids workshop coming up this weekend -Sept 3rd. from 9am-12pm

This one is to make an ESPN themed locker message board - pictured above. I imagine you could use more places than a locker if your kids don't have one.

These events are designed for children ages 5-12 (though my home depot at least isn't too particular about that, my 4 year old has participated with no problem). Your child gets a home depot apron to keep and a pin for each workshop they complete. More details here.

Chick-fil-a free breakfast

Chick-fil-a is offering a free breakfast entree next week (Sept 6-9). All you have to do is make a reservation in advance, then show up with your printed "invitation" and they give you free food!
I did this at the Monroeville location when they were promoting their new spicy chicken sandwich, and it was great. I showed up and they had a reserved section for people trying the new sandwich, where they had me sit and took my order (how I wanted the sandwich prepared and I think they gave me a free beverage too), then brought it to me. When I was done they had me fill out a survey then gave me a bunch of free coupons for spicy chicken sandwiches (some for me, some for friends). I also had my kids with me who both ended up with free chick-fil-a stuffed cows and crayons. I can't promise any of that will be the same (but I would guess so), but I can at least promise some free food :) So, if you're interested click here to sign up. (Be prepared to pick a date and time you want to go, and which breakfast entree you want.)
