Chuck E Cheese on a budget: Get FREE tokens and tickets!

September 30, 2011 by 1 Comment



Now that your “big” kids are back in school, you can take your little ones to Chuck E. Cheese and you don’t have to deal with the crowds or bust your budget doing it!  Get your friends or your MOPS group together and go!  My kids love Chuck E. Cheese and we go there regularly.

Here are some tips for making the most of your Chuck E. Cheese experience:

  • Sign up for the Chuck E Cheese e-club (you’ll get great coupons and free token offers such as 20 free tokens on your child’s birthday or 10 free tokens for completing reward calendars)
  • Play the Chuck E Cheese skee ball game online before you go – you’ll get FREE tickets!
  • Go early – We always go shortly after they open because it is usually not very crowded, which means it’s easier to keep an eye on my kids and they don’t get frustrated about waiting in line for rides and games.
  • Set a budget – My kids know that we only have a set amount of tokens each trip and once they’re gone, they’re gone. Once we run out of tokens, they can play in the play structure (it’s free) and if there are any tantrums, we leave!

Thanks to the Chuck E Cheese e-club, I haven’t had to spend “real” money on tokens in a LONG time!

Here are some of the freebie offers from the Chuck E Cheese e-club:  

-20 free tokens on your child’s birthday (I believe the coupon is valid for the entire month of your birthday, but I can’t remember)

-15 free tokens for good grades (bring in your child’s report card)

-10 free tokens for completing a rewards calendar for 2 weeks (a food purchase is required with this one, so I usually just grab a drink for myself) – This was a great incentive for potty training for both of my kids.  Other calendars include keeping your room clean, brushing your teeth, and being a good listener!

See what I mean about not needing to “buy” tokens?

Get a $25 Restaurant.com gift card for as low as $.50 today only!

September 29, 2011 by Leave a Comment

 

Restaurant.com Weekly Promo Offer 300 x 250

Restaurant.com has a HOT promotion right now:  you can save 90% on Restaurant.com gift certificates, which means that a $25 gift card to some locations will only be $.50 after cash back!  This promotion is valid through 9/29/11.

Here’s how you can take advantage of this great offer:

1.  Visit Restaurant.com here

2.  Enter your zip code to search for restaurants by location.  Choose a certificate and click on the green “Add to Cart” button.  You can also get a $25 Restaurant.com gift certificate for us at a later date for as low as $2 after the discount!

3.  When you add items to your cart, make sure you enter the promotional code “WOW” in the yellow discount code box at the top of the page.  Complete the check-out process.

DISCLAIMER:  Make sure you read the fine print on the gift certificate options!  They typically have restrictions such as:

-Minimum purchase of X required
-Gratuity added automatically based on pre-discount price
-Valid for dine-in/dinner only

You can also get 50% cash back when you shop through ShopAtHome.com.  If you are new to ShopAtHome.com, you will also get a $5 cash back bonus after your first purchase, which means your gift certificate could be FREE!

To get your 50% cash back, click on the blue “Shop Now” button here–>Restaurant.com 50% cash back

I often get questions asking how this works or if it’s really a good deal.  It is for me.  Here’s an example.  A local restaurant we have been wanting to try has a $25 gift certificate for $20.  The “fine print” says that you have to spend at least $35 and that 18% gratuity is added.  Given the cost of food at this location, we would easily be spending $35 anyway.

Here’s a breakdown on pricing:

Buy $25 Restaurant.com certificate – priced at $20

-$16 (80% off code)

Spend $4 + $10 (because our total would be at least $35) and $6.30 for the 18% gratuity – we’re getting a meal that would have been $41.30 with tip for $20.30.  That’s half price!  Sounds like a good deal to me!
