If you’re a Papa John’s Rewards member, don’t forget to check your email today to find out how to get your free pizza and Pepsi Max.
Papa Johns is going to be busy for a while. The pizza restaurant’s latest promotion promised a free large pizza and Pepsi Max to all of its Rewards Members if, collectively, they correctly guessed the Super Bowl coin toss this year.
And they did. Customer votes were tallied and “heads” was the winner in the Papa John’s poll. The coin toss at Superbowl 2012 was also “heads.” That means free pizza.
If you were a Papa John’s Rewards Member as of 6 p.m. EST on Sunday, February 5, 2012 — whether you voted on the coin toss or not — you should be getting an email on Monday, February 6, with instructions on how to get your free pizza and Pepsi Max. Get more info at www.freepapajohns.com.

Thanks to Columbus on the Cheap for sharing this deal on Facebook.
Wichita State University has unveiled a new online course that offers a step-by-step approach to choosing and paying for college or vocational/technical school.
The course, which is free, intends to teach personal financial management topics that will help students and families make wise decisions regarding choosing and paying for college, and to help students learn how to manage their finances while they’re in college.
Part 1 covers choosing and understanding the costs of college, how to pay for college without borrowing (yay), using and repaying loans, and building an overall financial plan for the college years. Part 2 covers topics related to financial independence, including banking, budgeting, credit, debt, and identity theft.
It looks like it could be a helpful resource, and I like that students are strongly encouraged to avoid debt to pay for college. However, the course does discuss some loan options (which I know for more and more families today is not being considered as an option), and the course provides a broad overview rather than specific advice. You may find it to be a helpful starting point in planning for college.
You can find and sign up for the course at http://www.mycollegemoneyplan.org/.

Wichita on the Cheap is brought to you by freelance writer Carolyn Erickson, who has called Wichita her home since the 90s (and she’s been a cheapskate longer than that). Although this is her job, her motivation for Wichita on the Cheap comes from an appreciation of what Wichita has to offer and a desire to help others enjoy it affordably.
