Utah Restaurant Coupons & eClubs

July 15th, 2010 c4u

With so many coupons out there for Restaurants and eClub offers I thought I would just go ahead and start a list. This is a growing list. There are tons! I’ll keep it handy right at the top of the Restaurant Category. These are all pretty steady offers. So, my suggestion is that you don’t sign-up all at once. But, pick and choose, so your coupons don’t expire all at the same time. And, most of the eClubs send out FREE meals for your birthday. So, when your coupon expires, you may want to have your favorite dining partner sign up. That way you stagger the coupons and you both get FREE birthday meals.

Restaurant.com coupon code - You can shop the restaurant of your choice and get a $25.00 restaurant coupon for $3.00. I love Restaurant.com so much, I wrote a page with tips & tricks. Plus, we keep the current coupon code right at the top of our home page for quick reference. This long standing company can really save on the bottom line of your restaurant bill.

Tropicana Juicy Rewards - One of the best! Join the Tropicana Juicy Rewards program(it’s FREE) and enter the code found under the lid, from specially marked Tropicana Juice cartons. Use those points to get coupons to local restaurants. Restaurant coupons start at 1 point and go up to 9. Most are for Buy 1, Get 1. A carton of Tropicana is worth 3 points. But, if you buy it at Smith’s and register your card number with Tropicana they will double the point value.

City Deals – Has gift cards for the hottest trendiest restaurants in town. You buy the gift card at a discounted rate (usually 15-50% off) And, use it just like cash at the restaurant. You do have to wait for it to be shipped so plan ahead. However, they do have a pick up location in West Jordan if you order before Noon on M-F you can stop by and pick your card up. At present you can use coupon code coupons4utah and get 10% off your purchase of $5.00 or more. There is also a coupon code for FREE shipping TSEARSBC.

Macaroni Grill Coupons - Join the Macaroni Grill eClub and they will email you a coupon for $5.00 off your purchase of 2 entrees. Plus, they send out periodic coupons, I’ve gotten several for $7.00 off 2 entrees. Plus, you get something for your Birthday.

Village Inn Coupons- Sign up for Village Inn’s eClub and they will email you a coupon for a FREE entree when you purchase a second entree and 2 beverages. Plus, they send out a lot of FREE pie coupons.

Chili’s Coupons - Click here and enter zip code 84123 then look for the Chili’s coupon. Fill out the form and submit. You’ll get access to a coupon for a FREE Chips & Quesso. Make sure you fill out the second offer and you will also receive a coupon for a FREE Brownie Sundae.

IHop Coupons – Sign up for IHOP’s Pancake Revolution e-club & you will get 3 FREE meals from IHOP, along with other discounts & offers. After you sign up, you should receive an email with a coupon for a FREE meal. Watch for it, if you don’t see it check your spam. Later you will get coupons for a FREE meal on your birthday and a FREE meal on the 1 year anniversary of you joining the Pancake Revolution.

Olive Garden Coupons – Sign up for Olive Gardens eClub and they will send you coupon offers. My first one was for $5.00 off 2 entrees.

Home Town Buffet Coupons – Join the Home Town Buffet eClub and you will get a coupon good for a FREE meal when you buy one.

The Melting Pot Coupons - When you sign up to become a member of Club Fondue, you’ll receive a Free Chocolate Fondue for two with the purchase of any Big Night Out or the combination of any two individual entrées and a cheese fondue.

Mimi’s Cafe Coupons - Join Mimi’s Cafe Fun eClub and you will get a coupon for a FREE breakfast and other special offers. We see a lot of FREE breakfast Muffins from Mimi’s.

Lone Star Steakhouse Coupons – Sign up for the Lone Star Steakhouse eClub here and in your welcome email you will get a coupon for a FREE appetizer with the purchase of any entree.

Ruby Tuesday Coupons – Sign up for Ruby Tuesday’s “So Connected” emails and you will get a coupon for a Buy 1, Get 1 Entree up to $10.00. Make sure you watch for your confirmation sign up. You won’t get your coupon until you confirm.

As always if you have one you want to share, leave a comment. Thanks!

With so many to choose from, it’s hard to decide where to go first.

Take it or Leave it... This is the Deal Taker!

2010-06-04T10:27:00.000-07:00

In the world of the Groupon, CityDeals and Restaurant.com, it is hard to have something unique on your website that makes you stand out. Well, with all the sites that I have researched out for this blog, the Deal Taker is one that I check out on a regular basis. Their strategy is to be a catch all of all discounts.

Now you are asking what do I mean by a catch all. Well, we all know there are sites at are pure coupon codes and sites that are pure deal of the days, well imagine if you could just scan all of these from one site. Well, Bingo!!! Here is the Deal Taker! Being lazy and cheap never got easier!

Auction while you work with Bigdeal.com

2010-04-19T09:16:00.000-07:00

I don't know about you but when I am at work, I don't have the time to spend constantly playing the auction game that is EBay. Bigdeal.com style of auction seems to work better for me because everything if focused upfront in a clear format.

All bids on this site start at zero and then as people put in their bids it adds a little more on to the clock. When you have your accounts set up, it is very easy to just glance over to the items you are bidding on. So for me, is my new alternative when I am in the mood to bid!

Free Online Coupons... can't complain about that

2010-03-18T09:40:00.000-07:00

If you want to get some discount and not do a thing to deserve it, this is the site for you. They are full of promotional codes and online coupons and they are there at your disposal. I have to say, I am loving this site recently.

This is has a good deal of large well known companies on this site so you will have a great chance of finding what you need and the discounted portions are not too shabby either. So next time you are in the middle of some online shopping, keep this open in a seperate tab and see if you can't save a little

Get computer items at the best possible price

2010-03-08T14:52:00.000-08:00

There are some sites that don't need any gimmicks to keep their customers. They don't need sales of the day or anything special to have people use them as the primary source of goods, and for most computer lovers, Newegg.com is theirs.

They have a huge inventory of items for almost everything you need from random computer parts to pre-packaged computer kits to help anyone with their computer needs. The part that I appreciate the most is their review section. They are usually the most complete and helpful guides when I am looking to buy.

Coupons codes - For the win!!!

2010-02-25T08:38:00.000-08:00

My website of the week is called Deal of day, go figure. If you are a fan of Online shopping, this is a good site for getting those wonderful codes that will save you money with discounts and also with free shipping.

One of the best things about this site, is that they have just about everything. They have not tied themselves down to individual genres but are a carry all. Just looking at the homepage, I see travel, online books and restaurant. Now, that is awesome and convenient.

Now, that deal is Slick !?!?

2010-02-08T15:15:00.000-08:00

Though my joke didn't make much sense, this website definitely does. Slickdeals is a website list of some of the best deals on web in an updated list that changes by the day. I am not sure how the wise people at this website are alerted to these deals but I haven't found a website but knows the best deals on other companies pages then Slick deals.

I have found the best way to get these deals is to check out the site first thing in the morning. The deals seem better at that time and they do have the tendency to sell out if they really great deals. As with all good things, grab them while you have the chance or you will regret it.

Fat Wallet helps you slim the wallet

2010-01-25T11:47:00.000-08:00

Here is another one of those great sites that you don't know about but the moment you check it out it seems to become a staple on your daily website checks. And you won't be disappointed, this site has a lot going for it.

I don't think I know of another site that I have gotten as many free things from. And that is saying a lot, for the fact I am on the internet a large part of the day and mainly of those hours looking for deals. So this is really saying a great deal about them. Check it out, tell me what you think...

Backcounty Sites.. I want to be such a outdoors guy!

2010-01-18T11:57:00.000-08:00

Back country corp gotten my corner of the market when it comes to great prices on outdoor gear. They run six sites that do the whole countdown style of super discounts and sadly I check those sites at least 5 times everyday. These deals are so good, that they are addicting.

So I know that we are always trying to find a steal and with these sites you are almost guaranteed to find one.

Post Christmas Sales.... this should be a holiday

2009-12-28T09:37:00.000-08:00

If for some reason, you didn't spend all your money on Christmas presents for others. This is the time for you to spend money on yourself. Most stores have over bought on items and don't want to have an extra inventory for the next quarter... and this means, Super Sales!!!

I personally know that both Barnes and Nobles and Best Buys are have 50% off items and even an extra 10% off deals for their members right now until New Years. So if you have a little bit of the coin left in your pocket and you want to treat yourself to a present or two, hit up these stores and get what you really want.

The power of Woot!!!

2009-12-07T12:47:00.001-08:00

Oh Woot, you fiend!!! Why do you end up with all my money!!! If any out there haven't experienced the website know as Woot (http://www.woot.com) then you have not experienced the one sale a day phenomenon.

The strategy behind this page is give one item an amazing markdown for just one day. They have a certain quantity and when this is sold out, you wait until tomorrow and see what the deal of that day is. This strategy gets me coming back day after day and taken quite a bit of money out of my wallet. So well done, Woot, it's win-win in my book!

My Genius Tactic

2009-11-25T10:08:00.000-08:00

Well, it’s that time of year again, time for Thanksgiving and Black Friday, the two busiest days of my life. One day I spent cooking and eating the greatest food on Earth, then I have a midday nap and I get ready to stand out in the cold so that I can get amazing shopping deals. Though, I have figured out a way to even get more off on my Black Friday sales. My master plan this year is to get gift certificates at a discount on sites like citydeals or others and then use them for payment on my items. This is what I call a double bonus, a genius move on my part!

Discount Stores... Some of the best places on Earth

2009-10-28T10:30:00.000-07:00

There are few places that I can get lost in for hours and not mind it. A great discount or secondhand stores is hours of fun and enjoyment in my world. Even at these stores there is some rules you should follow. I found this article at one of my favorite blogs, it really has some good ideas.

With the current crisis experienced by almost all people around the globe, consumers always keep in their heads to budget their money. That is why most shoppers nowadays, buy their favorite products in places where they are sold at a low price or with discount prices. Discounters are receiving numerous products from big companies and retailers that are liquidating their inventories. These products sold by these retailer companies such as the Victoria's Secret, Banana Republic, and American Eagle to mention a few are sold at a very low price or with big discounts in stores and websites after following the supply processing channels of the discounters.
These branded products sold through discount channels are discounted apparels, which are sold at a portion of their original prices. The discounts of these branded apparels range from 10% to 50%, and sometimes even reach as high as 75% of the original price. Generally speaking, these discounted products are big disadvantages to these big labeled companies. So, in order to save their welfare from harm, these discounted apparels are generally bound to various terms and conditions.
These bigwig retailer companies are using certain method to protect their trading business. This method is by limiting the places where these discounted products are sold by contractual agreements. With this method, the big retail chains will have the advantage to gain control over the sales and distribution transactions of their merchandise. In addition to that, this will help them maintain the control on their brand equity, and as well as the distribution of the products after liquidation.
Another method used by retailer companies is through defacing their product labels. In this method, the most common way they will do is to completely remove the labels by cutting the tag with a pair of scissors or with a magic marker. In this way, the customer buying in a discount store will be discouraged to buy the product. And in return, the customer will go to the store where he or she can buy the branded product at its original price.
All in all, discounted apparels are already good bargains for the consumers. Plus, if they are not worried about marked or cut labels, then it would be a great bonus for them to buy the original products at a cheaper price.
