HalfEmptyWallet Notes:
- Dunkin’ Donuts are offering free donuts that day with a purchase of a drink……so it’s not free (http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=152886148115472)

- Tim Hortons use to also give free donuts with a drink purchase, not sure whats happening with them this year’s National Doughtnut Day.

- Entenmann’s is pairing up with Salvation Army for this day: “Entenmann’s will donate $1 (up to $10,000) to The Salvation Army for every person who LIKES their Facebook page now through June 3″

WOW!!! The line wrapped around 3 folds at the Haagen-Dazs store in Downtown Disney before it was even 4p! Good thing the new Sanuk Store was “Opening Soon” because all of us haagen-dazs where all up on their mats and front store space.

However it was quick! And you get your own personal ice cream scooper person helping you!!! Super cool!
