Keep those coffee/meal cards!
Friday, January 16, 2009
My friend and I are meeting after work for dinner and neither of us can figure out where we want to go. I looked through my wallet and looked for any meal cards or coupons I might have. I discovered that TWO of my coffee cards are full, which means I get to have a free coffee in two spots: one place which is near the farmers market where I go on Saturdays and another place right downtown with incredible coffee! So although I didn't find any free meal cards or deals, I now have two saved up coffees for future coffee dates. I do have one card for EVERY coffee place in town so it's fun to discover my freebies when I look through my wallet!
As for our dinner plans, I even looked online for restaurant coupons and have come up with nothing. The fact that I am vegan and he doesn't eat red meat limits our restaurant choices...I wish i lived in a big city again sometimes! When I visit my home city or another large city where a friend lives, i can eat so healthfully for VERY cheap! Sadly I live in a place where people's idea of a good meal is pizza or burgers. :( Buying a cheap healthy meal here seems next to impossible.
I might suggest a local Syrian place which has vegan meal plates for $8 including taxes and coffee or tea! Otherwise we're stuck going to Burger King for a veggie burger/fries for $6. I probably won't opt for that as I am trying to keep my figure since i need to fit into my bikini next month for my Mexico trip! :D
