What a super suggestion, Rose. I’ve looked at this before but I think now it the time for me to try it out. It’s a great way to say money on vacation too. We always buy an Entertainment Book to get great bogo coupons when we go on vacation.
Another great way to eat cheaply in the akron area is by ordering gift certificates on http://www.restaurant.com , The certificates are listed for $10 for a $25 gift certificate. But, if you sign up for email notices, they have a “sale” once a week, where they will sell $25 gift certificates for $2. There are certain restrictions with them, like you might have to spend at least $40 or something. But still a great deal. My friend told me about this and we are buying a bunch for the orlando area before we go on vacation this year 🙂
