Sometime last fall, I texted Arbys to receive a free curly fry.
Since that time, I’ve received approximately one text from Arby’s every week. Offering a buy one get one free Reuben sandwich or a buck off a salad, the “deals” are not really my fare.
Generally, I flip open my phone and delete the message immediately.
Until yesterday, when I flipped open my phone to see
“Cool off with a friend!
Show this text to buy one Value Shake
and get one FREE!
I quickly texted my little sister asking if she’d like to go to get a shake with me.
After she got up :-), she texted me back with her “Sure”.
We ate leftover Curried Chicken Salad for lunch at my house, talked while we let our tummies settle enough to have room for shakes, and then headed out walking.
Our nearest Arbys is about a mile away, a nice comfortable jaunt in comfortable weather–which yesterday definitely wasn’t. By the time we got to the restaurant, we were sweaty and ready for a nice cold treat.
We pooled our change to pay the $1.07 for our Jamocha shakes and sat in a booth sipping and snapping photos.
If it were an inconvenience to receive and delete the weekly texts from Arbys, this fun little outing with my sister more than made up for it. There’s nothing better than a sized-just-right (12 ounces, I think) Jamocha shake, shared with a friend and sister!
Isn’t my sister just too cute?
