Sometime last fall, I texted Arbys to receive a free curly fry.<\/p>\n

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. <\/p>\n

Generally, I flip open my phone and delete the message immediately.<\/p>\n

Until yesterday, when I flipped open my phone to see<\/p>\n

“Cool off with a friend!
\nShow this text to buy one Value Shake
\nand get one FREE!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I quickly texted my little sister asking if she’d like to go to get a shake with me.<\/p>\n

After she got up :-), she texted me back with her “Sure”.<\/p>\n

We ate leftover Curried Chicken Salad<\/a> for lunch at my house, talked while we let our tummies settle enough to have room for shakes, and then headed out walking. <\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

We pooled our change to pay the $1.07 for our Jamocha shakes and sat in a booth sipping and snapping photos.<\/p>\n

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!<\/p>\n
