There certainly seem to be a lot of places that are interested in selling smoothies, lemonade, and other types of Summertime drinks right now. This is good for you, because in order for places to be able to compete with each other for customers, they often will offer some money saving coupons. Right now, you can get a “Buy One Get One Free” coupon from McDonald’s for their McCafe Summer drinks.
Hot weather tends to make people thirsty. This is especially true if you happen to live someplace that experiences high humidity during the Summer months. Personally, I find that hot, humid, sticky, weather makes me want to find ways to avoid having to spend time outside, experiencing it. It makes me much more interested in going inside stores and fast food restaurants, if only for the relief that their air conditioning would provide for me.
Smoothies are something that a lot of people enjoy all year round, but especially in the months of Summer. They are cold, and fruit flavored, and can be a much healthier choice than ice cream would be. If your children avoid eating fruits and vegetables, you can sneak some into their diet if you mix them into a smoothie.
McDonald’s has been placing more and more emphasis on its McCafe since they created it. I think they would like people to come in, get a drink, and hang around with their friends, much like people tend to do at Starbucks. This could be why they have come up with some new drinks this Summer.
Not too long ago, McDonald’s had a coupon that people could use to try out their new frozen Strawberry Lemonade drink. Since that time, they have created a new smoothie flavor that you can get from their McCafe. In addition to their Strawberry Banana smoothie, and their Wild Berry smoothie, they now have a Mango Pineapple flavor. That one sounds like it really matches well with the summer weather.
You can print out a coupon that will save you some money on a McCafe drink. The coupon lets you buy one drink, and get another one of equal or lesser value for free. This coupon can be used on a Frozen Strawberry Lemonade, a Real Fruit Smoothie, (of any flavor), or a McCafe Frappe (of any flavor). Use it before July 31, 2011, when the coupon will expire.
