Chili's 3 Courses, 2 People, $20, A Great Deal!

Right on the heels of the Applebee's 2 meals for $20 promotion, Chili's takes the cake with their own 2-for-$20 deal. Chili's offers a better deal because you get dessert, too. You get two entrees (from a selected list), an appetizer and a dessert. I expected small portions but received plenty of food. The appetizer (cheese fries) was smaller than a normal size but it was plenty for me and my hubby. The dessert was full-size. What a lot of cheap food we enjoyed!

Applebee's Two For $20

The Applebee's restaurant 2-for-$20 is a good deal. You select two entrees and an appetizer, all for just $20. I thought the portions would be small, but they were not. If you have kids, I have other ways to save money. I often skip the kid's meal and order something extra with my entree: a soup, side salad or loaded potato. I give the side to my daughter. She is pleased with it and it's about $1.99. Kid's meals are about $5 at most restaurants, and most little kids only take a bite or two. A lot of times I order water for my drink, and drink the rest of my daughter's Coke. I save about $2.50 (plus tax and tip) by not getting a soft drink. Anyway, my family of three had spinach dip, two entrees, a side salad and two soft drinks for about $25. Cheap food makes me happy! [END OF POST] Click Here to Read More..

Walgreen's Hershey's Candy Promotion Not So Great

Today I stopped at Walgreen's to buy some deodorant. By the way, I hate paying drug store prices for items like this. You always get a better deal at Target or Walmart. But anyway, as I bought my deodorant, the cashier said there was a Hershey's promotion. He said if you buy a candy bar, you get a prize. He said everyone gets a prize, and it could be up to $500. So I said I'd buy the candy bar. As it turns out, my 'prize' was a 25-cent coupon. In fact, my receipt from the Hershey's promotion said 'Sorry, you have not won a prize.' I felt scammed.

Free Starbucks Ice Cream on Facebook

Love Starbucks ice cream? Or maybe you haven't tried it yet? I received some great $2.00 off coupons in the mail because I am a Starbucks Gold Card holder. This deal is even better though. You can order a free pint of ice cream for you or a friend through Facebook. So share a pint with your BFF or get one for yourself free! [END OF POST] Click Here to Read More..

Retailer Offers Discount to the Unemployed

Well now here is a good way for a retailer to operate during a recession. Kmart in Michigan is offering unemployed shoppers a 20% discount on certain items. What a win-win, as a customer will feel grateful for the discount, and Kmart will be their shopping source. I would love to see more stores doing something like this.
