Deal done right

So many times a deal isn't really a deal.   Yeah, you get a great price but you either would NEVER spend that much (i.e. yesterday's $10 for a hefty $20 at Chicken Kitchen) or you would spend so much more that the 54% off ends up becoming 10% off before you're done.


Well, today we have a deal done right!

$16 for $32 to spend at The Melting Pot.  And, in case you were wondering, I'll share my research.  Cheese and Dessert courses are each $16.  So, grab the deal, grab a friend and treat yourself to some yumminess at a great price.

Testing my willpower.

There are two great deals that I want today....


Fit2Go on Groupon
$25 mani/pedi on Google Deals
Route 9 on Dealtificate
Miss Pepper Boutique on My Cotorra

Winner of a night

What did you do tonight?


Me.... I went to IHOP for free pancakes.


Then, I stopped at Publix on my way home and picked up four free pints of Talenti.  What is Talenti?  I'm not sure actually.  The package implies it is both sorbet and gelato.  I would just place it in the ice cream family.  The salted caramel flavor is in the very yummy ice cream family.  Can't wait to sample some of the other free flavors I got!


I hope that you took advantage of the free pancakes - and then donated to Miami Children's Hospital like I did! The Talenti is a little tougher. I had BOGO coupons, and it is BOGO this week at Publix, so that means two free per coupon.  Can't beat it. 


Now, if only diet coke was on sale somewhere this week....

Breakfast anytime

Today is National Pancake Day.

And, to celebrate, IHOP is offering a free short stack of pancakes between 7 am and 10 pm.  All that they ask is that you make a donation to support Children's Miracle Network Hospitals. 

CMNH is the group you see with the balloons in Publix where you can give a dollar and put your name on the balloon.  You know what I'm talking about!  Well, in Dade, Broward, and Monroe counties every one of those benefits Miami Children's Hospital.  Same thing with the IHOP event.  Every donation comes right back here to help kids in our backyard.  If you aren't in South Florida, I don't know which hospitals you help, but it's still a great cause.

Enjoy your pancakes!
