We don’t do chain restaurants very often, unless we are on the go, but we do like Outback Steakhouse. A couple of our friends do too and it’s an easy meeting spot, since it is equidistance between our two homes. We decided it had been a while, so we set a date to have dinner. This immediately put me in motion.
Outback recently gave a $10.00 coupon to anyone who liked their facebook page. So, that’s pretty easy. My husband printed one from his facebook account and I did too. One for us and one for our friends. That was a nice find, but I wasn’t satisfied.
Kroger has a gas points program like many grocery stores. For every 100 points you accumulate for shopping there, you get $.10 off a gallon at the Kroger gas tanks. Many times a year, they offer a deal that for every gift card you buy in the store you get 4x the points. So, if you buy buy a home depot gift card for $100.00 because you have a DIY project, then that $100.00 purchase, which would normally render $.10 a gallon off in gas points, will multiply 4x and offer you $.40 a gallon.
That deal is being offered right now at Kroger, so I promptly purchased an Outback gift card at Kroger to pay for our dinner. That purchase alone will save us about $3.00 at the tanks when we go to fill up our cars next week.
So, I’m feeling pretty good about that. So far $13.00 savings toward a meal for two. But as my grandma might say "If that don't beat all".... I read online that if you mention “ race car Driver Ryan Newman” to your server that very day then you get a free bloomin’ onion!
We had so much fun with our friends and would have happily gone with no coupons, but it sure was fun to find all those deals that they could also enjoy!
