It's a FREEBIE FRIDAY roundup, starting with a no-cost trip to the zoo. Here's how it works:
The Nashville Zoo and Kroger are working together to bring you Safari Fridays. All you have to do is show your Kroger Plus card and a Kroger store receipt in order to get the bogo deal. That's buy one admission, get the other FREE. The deal is good every Friday in July and August.
Aren't sure what skin cancer looks like? TriStar Medical Group can help you spot it early with FREE skin cancer screenings. Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer in the U.S. The FREE screenings are at Lenox Village in South Nashville Saturday, July 14 between 9am-1pm. Call 615.342.1919 to schedule an appointment.
