If you love to go out to eat, and you love free food- maybe you should try restaurant "clubbing!" It's the latest marketing tactic that not many people know about. For example, my hubby and I love Brazilian food, and it came to our attention that by going to the Tucano's Brazilian Grill website and signing up for their club, on our birthday's we would receive a coupon for a free meal. Some giveaways come right after signing up, others specifically on your birthday month. The other nice thing about many of these restaurant club memberships is that you usually don't get an inbox full of junk mail just by signing up.
We tried a few and got free ice cream, free appetizers, free desserts, and free meals... so go ahead, look up YOUR favorite restaurants' website and apply, you might be pleasantly surprised!
Some suggestions: the Macaroni Grill, Tucanos, Cold Stone, Red Lobster, Ben & Jerry's (click here for this one)
* What restaurants do you readers know about with great club giveaways or promotions?

"Kid to Kid" store shout out
This week my child threw major tantrums every time I tried to get her dressed. She wanted as little buttons/snaps as possible, and I wanted anything that could be taken off easy without smearing, well, lets face it, any poo up the rest of her body. (And we ALL know how lovely that is once they start eating solids.) So today I ran out to the local Kid-to-Kid store ( ours is Am. Fork), which if you've never heard of, is a great place to buy nicer, used clothing for less, and you can earn store credit or cash by selling kids clothes there yourself. Little did I know... right now they are having a 2-for-1 sale. Buy two pieces of clothing (size 0-12) and get one free. Not to mention most of the clothes in there are currently on clearance! Hooray for more savings!
Next week(Thurs. - Sat.) will be their semi-annual clearance sale, which they informed me will have everything marked down even more, up to 75% off. Plus, the more you buy- the more you save... $1-$10 take an additional 10% off. $20-$30 take 20% off. $30 and up- take 25% off.
Keep in mind these stores are each individually owned, so I can't guarantee that your local Kid-to-Kid will have the same sale. But, it's worth checking out- especially if you live in Utah County!
I also recommend getting on their mailing list, because they send out a flier once a month that often has a coupon in it to take additional discounts, or fun contests you can enter to win store credit.
Today I spent $25 bucks- more than I intended, but then, everything I got ended up being $2- name brand stuff from Gap, Old Navy, Babies R Us, Arizona Jean Co., you got it. (Which by the way, after looking at used clothing, it is obvious the name brands do tend to hold up better... so it seems)
To find the Kid-to-Kid near you, check out http://www.kidtokid.com/locations.php store is NOT only in Utah, it's throughout the U.S. and even in my favorite foreign country... Portugal!
Good luck everyone!

"Pinching Your Pennies" website
Thanks Julie, for this post!
pinchingyourpennies.com is a website with both a blog and Facebook page that posts all of the great deals (online and in-store), coupons, and printable grocery lists for Utah. (And a few other states) This is where I find my deals for grocery shopping! Wal-mart price matches local stores, so I go to this website, write down the best deals and print off the best coupons and take them to Wal-Mart. I seriously save $20-$50 each time I go shopping.
Here's how to get to it. Go to pinchingyourpennies.com, click on PYP Forumns, then click on "Grocery Guide". Copy the Utah Passport and click on the "Grocerysmarts.com" link. Enter the passport. You can then select from the drop down list any of the stores and get great deals! It's seriously the best website ever!
If you become a fan of theirs on Facebook, their contributors post great deals and it goes directly to your feed. You can also become a contributor! It's fantastic! Hope this helps you out!
