The Dish on Chuck E Cheese

Another one of my favorites.

I can go to CEC for less than $20 usually and that includes drinks, food and 100+ tokens.

Keep in mind my kids eat like birds and I am the pig of the family. And even with me being the pig we still do fine.

10 cents a token ... use the attached coupon to purchase 40 Tokens and get 60 Free. This expires 06/05/2009.

If you have decent grades you can get up to 15 tokens free per report card.

Buy Hi-C ten pack and on specially marked packages you can get 10 tokens free. (upto 3 may be used at one time)

Fill out one of their rewards calendars and receive 10 free tokens per child. (limit 1 Rewards Calendar per child per visit)

So for $10, you may purchase 100 tokens, receive 10 for rewards and 15 for good grades. Include the 30 free from Hi-C and you have 100 + 20 for Rewards, + 30 for Hi-C and that is 150 tokens for $10. And I didn't even include the good grades rewards another potential of +30 tokens. However, that can be used only once with each report card.

Then I purchase a small or medium pizza and a drink to share.

If you have a bigger group, use their coupons that they have easily available online or use the coupon here for 1 Large Pizza, 40 game tokens & 4 large drinks for $18.99.

You can get almost 200 tokens, 1 Large Pizza and Drinks for under $30. The kids can play for a good 1 - 2 hours and sanity is restored.

See you guys at Chuck E's in the summer. I'll be in the corner with earmuffs and reading a book. ;-P

Dishing on Chick-fil-a Cow Appreciation Day - July 11

As many of you know, I just LOVE Chick-fil-a... always have. I should have tried to work there when I was a teenager instead of a now defunct burger place. But they were great, too. They were one of the first to serve wheat bread, lean ground beef and offered a full salad bar. I think they were called Delights. I can't recall -- I remember having to wear khaki pants, preppy suede shoes and a white polo.

I remember they had me making the burgers and helping with the orders ocassionally. Then they realized, I was pretty good at the register and made me the head cashier for drive thru orders. And they didn't have all the fancy registers that they had these days and I had to do a lot of the change in my head. Those were the days!

I digress....

I wanted to talk about Cow Appreciation Day, July 11. Chick fil a celebrates Cows and if you dress up like a cow on July 11 - you can get a meal on that day. I have donned on the Cow outfit for my kids and CFA for the past 2 years and we love it. Usually, the restuarant we go to will also offer a plush cow or a coupon for a brownie or an ice dream. And it is a free meal!! Who can beat that!?

And for those who know me... meet me there -- I will be eating with my kids there for breakfast, lunch and dinner! Okay, maybe not -- but Breakfast and Dinner may be in order. :-)
