Wendy’s customers rejoice! It’s been a long time, since they’ve offered a burger for a buck. Well, that’s changed…for a limited time. The fast-food chain is offering its popular Double Stack for just $1 (reg. $2.19) at participating locations.

Fed up with the NFL or NBA? Check out rugby. Saturday, March 10 is FREE Fan Appreciation Day at Infinity Park in Glendale. Colorado’s new professional rugby team, the Glendale Raptors will take on the New Orleans Gold at 3 p.m. for an exciting, action-packed, exhibition match.

Meet Rudi the Mascot, learn the rules and terminology of this game at the Rugby 101 corner, grab a burger and a beverage and cheer on the Raptors! For a double dose of rugby action come early for the match between Regis High School and Jesuit NOLA at 1:30 p.m.

The unique outlook on sportsmanship that rugby inspires hasn’t been lost on its players and coaches either – many are multi-sport athletes, but choose rugby because of the camaraderie, athleticism, and dignity the game engenders. Exceptional facilities and wide acclaim also mean that Glendale attracts international players, many of whom come from countries where the sport is already well established. 4599 E. Tennessee Ave., Glendale.

This deal is hot, especially since Firehouse Subs doesn’t offer many deals. Its subs are delicious, but they just don’t offer many coupons or discounts. (You even have to make a purchase, when redeeming rewards in its loyalty program.) As a result, this is one of the best deals you’ll find at the popular sub shop. As bargain hunters, we’ll give them a pass, as the shop uses premium meats and cheeses. The subs are really, really good!

Each day, get a medium sub for just $5.55 at participating locations: Sunday – Italian; Monday – Firehouse Meatball; Tuesday – Smoked Turkey Breast; Wednesday – Hook & Ladder; Thursday – Virginia Honey Ham; Friday – Tuna; Saturday – Sweet & Spicy Meatball. Any extras, including double meat, will cost extra.

Plus, if you need some extra buckets for storage, the garage or household chores, they sell their empty red pickle buckets for just $2 — click here. All of the proceeds go to charity.
