When I was in High School, my best friend Kim and I would often raid "Dad's" coin jar, (it was always encouraged) and head out to Mesa's downtown Baskin Robbins 31 Flavors Ice Cream Shop. We had our favorites and still do! It amazes me that over the years the scoops of ice cream are getting pretty pricey! But it's Basking Robbins 31 Flavors! It rocks, the ice cream cakes are pretty yummy too! 
As a young mother of two growing boys and a husband who loved ice cream, we shifted our budget and found a more reasonable ice cream joint. The local Thrifty Store in Mesa, Arizona brought in an Ice Cream counter and we loved it! The price was right, the scoops were huge and the selection was just fine! My little guys became accustomed to ice cream almost every weekend night and to be honest, I did too. We really liked the idea of Thrifty's bargain prices of .15 cents a scoop and we could treat the entire family for under a $1.00! Imagine that!? Well you can again, unless you have a basketball team and some of my friends do with all their seven and eight kids! The scoop is on!
Baskin-Robbins (31 Flavors) is out to help and honor America's firefighters. Participating stores will reduce prices of small ice cream scoops to 31 cents at some locations on April 30th at some locations! Of course you are welcome to make a donation to your local fire charities too!
Here is what is posted on the Baskin Robbin's website:
The National Fallen Firefighters Foundation remembers America's
fallen heroes and assists their families. The organization provides
firefighters with training to prevent deaths in the line of duty and
offers the public information to prevent fires in our communities.
A donation of $100,000 will be made by Baskin-Robbins® to the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation. At select local stores throughout the country, you may also have a chance to donate to your local fire station.
Baskin-Robbins is proud to support this worthy cause. We encourage you to learn more about the foundation by visiting www.firehero.org.
Join me, my family and friends Wednesday, April 30th, 2008 from 5pm to 10pm for 31 Cent Scoop Night at Baskin-Robbins®.
Don't forget to bring your camera! Capture the fun and share your shots with us after the event.
To invite your group click here. Baskin Robbins also encourages those to send in their photographs and me too! I want to personally invite you to take your photos and share it here, how many scoops can you layer (you do have a limit Jason of ten, just like comments in the rain)? So go take your group to get a scoop or two, or three or ten! I will be back with my photos, off to make sure our 85296 store is one of the locations!
Have fun Wednesday and be sure to send me your photo, I would love to see it and share it! I am rounding up my kids, the boys are big now and probably could pound down some great ice cream.
I challenge Jason Crouch, Adam Waldman, Paul Slaybaugh and YOU to go take their families out for a 31 cent scoop or more! Support our Fallen Firefighters and Scoop on if you dare!
*Note: Be sure to check your local stores to see if they are participating.
