My mother-in-law told me about this. Next week on Wednesday, April 30, 2008, Baskin-Robbins will be selling 31¢ scoops. There are a few catches to the deal. The scoops are smaller than normal at 2.5 ounces (I think normal scoops are 4 ounces), and there is a 10-scoop limit per person, per purchase. That’s more than ¾-quarts of ice cream! Baskin-Robbins will then donate $100,000 to the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation.

Go get yourself some cheap ice cream next week. Oh, and I guess you’ll be helping out a charity.
