Restaurant Coupons
Restaurant.com has dining certificates for restaurants all over the country. Some of the certificates are for 50% off (food portion of the bill only), $3 for a $10 off dining certificate, and $10 for a $25 off dining certificate. This month you can purchase certificates for 60% off; that means I spent $1.20 for $10 dining certificate! Rasta Grill in downtown Springfield is on the list this month - pay $10 for a $25 dining certificate - but with the promotion code you pay only $4.
In order to get the 60% off savings, you must type in discount code 46202
Enjoy.

A profitable walk in the snow
We walked up the road in the snow early Saturday morning to an estate sale. The gentelman moving out of the house was 100 years old.
Most of the good stuff was already picked through by 8:30 but we still managed to find some deals.
A few weeks ago Jillian made some scones, which turned out great; however, we had some disagreements on the amount of flour that should be used. So when we came across a nifty sifter I snatched that up quickly. Just $1.00. It is just like what mom uses, and her mom used. On top of that he had a classic toaster complete with the old cloth cord and the mechanism ticks when you push it down. Guess how much it was? $1.00, can you believe such a deal! Here are our before photos. The toaster is in great shape and I cleaned it up with Bartkeeper's Friend cleaner - which I highly recommend having for cleaning metal surfaces.
And after.
This baby is a winner. You'd probably have to spend $35 bucks for a look-a-like at Target and you can bet it's not the same rugged construction.

More book cooking
Apparently my friend David liked that last comic so much that he sent us a similar one.
This one takes me back to my work days at DT Industries where we found $20 million in accounting fraud at the Montreal location, and NASDAQ halted trading of our stock. My own personal Enron-like experience.
