Einstein Bros.: Free Holiday Poppers with beverage purchase.

Now this one really mystifies me (even more than the gelatinous crystal air freshener chunks). At Einstein Bros., you can get something called "Holiday Bagel Poppers" free with any beverage purchase. They look like donut holes, in that they're covered in frosting and sprinkles, but I assume they must be bagels under there because they're called "bagel poppers."

If you dip a bagel bite in frosting and sprinkles, does that make it a donut hole? I guess there's only one way to find out. Somebody try it and tell us!

Facebook: Free Chocolate Almond Latte w/purchase at Einstein Bros. Bagels.

I really like Einstein Bros. Bagels and I wish we had them here in Seattle. And now here's one more reason for poisonous bagel envy, because when you become a fan of Einstein Bagel Bros on Facebook, you can print off a coupon for a free Chocolate Almond Latte with any purchase.

Today I'm having yogurt with All Bran "bran buds" (free sample*), and while they're OK, I guess, an asiago bagel with garlic-herb cream cheese and a chocolate almond latte to wash it down with would be a LOT better. I'm just saying.

*Speaking of which, I just noticed I'm eating free-sample bran and yogurt I got on sale, drinking free coffee, AND wearing a 99-cent cashmere sweater I dug out of the Goodwill bins. Did I become homeless without realizing it?!

Free Noah's and Einstein bagels today until 11 am!

Free bagels? Yum! Too bad I don't have a Noah's or Einstein Bros. bagel chain near me... otherwise you bet I'd hustle over there for Free Bagel Friday. Take the coupon in before 11 am and enjoy!
