Five ways to eat cheap this weekend
Get 20 percent off your next Denny's Grand Slam (and everything else on your bill) with this coupon.
(Credit: Denny's)People--supermodels, mostly--often stop me in the street and say, "Rick, your tech deals are insanely awesome, but what about food? Surely finding all those bargains makes you hungry?"
Then I say, "Yes, but don't call me 'Shirley,'" and they shake their heads sadly, having realized that bloggers are just as unfunny in person as they are online.
Anyhoo, it being Friday and all, I thought I'd take a tech break and serve up some cheap eats you can score this weekend:
- This printable coupon from Boston Market (PDF) gets you 20 percent off "any restaurant purchase." I'm not sure if that means the entire bill or just one item. Anyway, it's good until October 24. I recommend printing several.
- This printable coupon from Denny's (PDF) gets you 20 percent off your entire check. It's good until October 24. I recommend printing several.
- At Jamba Juice, you can buy one smoothie and get a second one (for a friend or kindly blogger) for $1. Here's the printable coupon. It's good through September 27.
- At Papa John's, you can buy a large two-topping pizza and get a large cheese pizza for 25 cents by applying coupon code 92209 at checkout. (Obviously you have to order online.) In other words, one pizza for the grown-ups and one for the kids. Good through October 4.
- Finally, old standby Restaurant.com is offering major savings on its gift certificates when you apply coupon code TREAT. $25 certificates will cost you just $3 apiece, while $10 certificates drop to just $1.20. That's some cheap eatin'! I'm not sure when the code expires, but you should definitely check out each restaurant's requirements before purchasing.
OK, there you go, food fans. Anything here whet your appetite? Me, I'm all about the pizza, the world's most perfect food.
Also, speaking of this weekend, my CNET overlords are chaining me to my desk for the remainder of this "100 Days of Deals" holiday thingy, so check back tomorrow (and every Saturday until 2010, apparently) for another deal from yours truly.
As for Sunday, well, it's anybody's guess what those crazy "CNET Staffer" kids will come up with, but if it's as bad as last weekend, we'll all have a good laugh on Monday.
Cheapskate out. (Wow, that's a terrible sign-off.)

Restaurant.com is an amazing find, we have been paying as low as $2 to get the $50 Off coupon for the local Brazilian Steakhouse for months thanks to your last posting.
Seriously, Shirley, great list (even for a non tech one) I'm having family coming over this weekend, and I'm thinking a Restaurants.com restaurants for lunch and Boston Market.
I think it means they are trying to sell off their restaurants! I live in the NW and we had a bunch of these then they all went under... trying to expand too fast I think.

Living in Hawaii has its advantages and disadvantages....
We don't have a Boston's market! There is no restaurants in Hawaii participating in restaurants.com.
The Jamba Juice coupon states not valid in Hawaii. :[[[
I'm going to denny's... after I surf tomorrow.
Aloha!
