First of all, I want to thank you for the thoughts, prayers, likes, smiles, tears or whatever emotion you may have had if you heard my grandmother passed away 1 week ago today. More than a normal grandmother, I lived with her, saw her most mornings I went to school from Elementary to High School and if I had to guess, she was the reason for my love of the Wheel of Fortune and hatred for soap operas. She was 80 1/2 years old and her mind outlived her body. Her soul will outlive it all. Her memory will never cease to exist. Her jokes were sometimes edgy, but always received a smile or laugh because they were so quick witted, despite the fact she was born before WWII had even started. RIP you beautiful old soul, we love you!
HAPPY VETERAN'S DAY!!!
I am posting a special FRIDAY post because this weekend is VERY important for Veteran's. 1st of all it is a time to honor them. Secondly it is a great time for savings for them, but also I want to spin that into savings for you. Thank you Veteran's!
DID YOU KNOW?!?!
With a veteran or military ID this weekend you can get:
Free Breakfasts (Baker's Square)
Free Chickens (Boston Market)
Free Appetizers (Carabba's) (11-9 to 11-11)
Free Burgers and Fries (Champps)
Free Entrees (Chili's, Olive Garden, Uno's)
Free Doughnut and Coffee (Krispy Kreme)
Free Meal (O'Charley's)
Free Bloomin Onion & Drink (Outback)
Free Lunch (Sizzler)
Some places are even offering family discounts.
But you don't have to be a veteran on Veteran's Day to get discounted or even free food.
Do you have an email address? Do you have a birthday? YOU TOO CAN GET FOOD FOR LESS!
Benihana - I entered my name, DOB, email and ZIP: $30 Birthday Certificate on Birthday
BJ's Brewhouse - Name, DOB, email, ZIP: Free Pizooki Dessert on Birthday
Chili's - Name, email and DOB: Free Chips and Guac, Salsa or Queso

Red Lobster - Name, email, DOB, address, ZIP: Free Birthday Surprise & Free Appetize or Dessert
BUT WHAT ABOUT THE OTHER NIGHTS SHERM!?
For those nights that don't happen to be your birthday OR those nights that you didn't just sign up to be a part of the email club, here are some recommendations:
RESTAURANT.COM!
If you can find a place on here that you like, you can have MUCHO SAVINGS!
For example, I love to go to North City Tavern on 23 near Lazelle. I can buy a $10 gift card for only $4. Every time I go in there, I save $6. Most of the time you can only use 1 gift card and have a minimum to spend. In addition, these are usually places that are TRYING to get business or have started LOSING business. Like I said, if you find a place you like, this can mean a GREAT deal of savings.
GROUPON.COM!
NOT JUST FOR MASSAGES ANYMORE!
Current Columbus Groupons:
Spaghetti Warehouse - $12 for $20 Worth
Basil (Thai) - $10 for $20 Worth
King Gyro's Greek - $12 for $20 Worth
Señor Tequila's - $11 for $20 Worth
Those are 4 good restaurants, that are offering GREAT DEALS!
GIFT CARDS!
Say what? There are actually 2 different ways to save with Gift Cards.
1.) Some places will give you a bonus gift card for purchasing one. As an example, O'Charley's is offering a $5 gift card if you purchase a $25 gift card. Taco Bell sometimes offers $5 gift cards for purchasing $20 ones. Chances are if you're eating there now, you'll be eating there again. Why not save $5 for every $30 you spend?
2.) Purchasing gift cards at places such as Giant Eagle and Kroger can offer rewards for Fuel.
Giant Eagle - $0.20 off/gallon of gas for every $50 you spend on Gift Cards.
Kroger - $0.10 off/gallon of gas for every $50 you spend on Gift Cards.
3.) (Bonus) - If you work in a job that has a lot of non-reimbursed expenses (i.e. you drive for work, take clients out for entertainment, etc) you can buy gift cards and write them off as business expenses. THEN when you use them for dinner, you can write the expenses off once again. DOUBLE BENEFIT!
NIGHT SPECIFIC DINING!
Have you been craving Hot Head Burrito of late? Or Bang Bang Shrimp from Bonefish Grill? What about wings from Quaker Steak and Lube? These are just a few places that offer NIGHT SPECIFIC SPECIALS!
Sunday - Hot Head Burrito - 2 Burritos for $10.99
Monday - Buffalo Wings and Rings - Kids Eat Free!
Tuesday - Quaker Steak - All You Eat Wings
Thursday - BW3's - $0.50 Boneless Wings (I guess this is still a deal)
Just to name a few. Curious about other nights or your favorite restaurants? Give them a quick call!
RECEIPTS!
Wait? I thought those were after dinner?
Here are a couple of examples:
1.) Wendy's - $2 off a salad or chicken sandwich (Survey)
2.) BW3's - $5 off (Survey)
3.) Chili's - Free Appetizer (Survey)
