The end of March was my sister's birthday. Today was the first day she was available to go out. I took her, my niece (her daughter) and my son out for dinner at Chevy's. The food and service were excellent. We had alot of fun. Using the Restaurant.com gift certificate for $25 that cost me $5 (couponmom.com had a code) was great and easy. Dinner and dessert cost $5(gc) + $35.84(check) = $40.84 for the four of us. My niece wanted to leave the tip. There was enough left from my dinner for two more 2 meals. I suppose the better deal would have been just the two of us, but the memories are worth the extra cost.
Before dinner I stopped at CVS to shop. The total was $21.64 - $4.19 (sale discount) - $8.48 (coupons)= $8.97. I also got $8.00 in extra bucks to be used in the future, so I suppose I could say 8.97 - 8.00 = .97 as my final cost. I ended up with 2 shampoos, 2 conditioners and a deodorant for $.97. Not quite my goal of free but getting close.
A good day!
