Couponing around Lynchburg and Roanoke

So today I discovered that there are not a lot of sites for coupons and ideas for thrifty dates around the Lynchburg/Roanoke area. I found my muse for my blog finally!

So my first blog is going to be about the two newest reward cards that I have collected.

One of the cool things about most stores is that they give out reward cards to their customers. Yesterday while I was at Red Robin in Roanoke, my waiter gave us a Red Royality card. If you sign up for it, you get a free appetizer that is valid 14 days after you sign up. You can also earn a free hamburger after you purchase your 9th. The last reward they offer is a $20.00 off after your 5th visit with them. Make sure you ask your waiter for a card next time you go and activate it at redrobin.com/redroyality to begin receiving your rewards.


Yogurt Yeti in Lynchburg, VA

Another place I went to today was Yogurt Yeti. They now have a loyality card. When you fill up the card with punches (one for each visit), you get a free yogurt. Since my boyfriend and I would prefer frozen yogurt over ice cream, this card is going to be a heaven sent. yogurtyeti.com  
 These are just two of the many reward cards that are out there. Make sure you ask every store you go into about reward cards. You could save money just by signing up!

In the beginning...

This is the first post of my blog. I decided to write a blog because my life can be pretty interesting at times.

Like today.....

Work was pretty normal. When I got home, my phone died. Should not have left my only charger at my parent's house on Sunday. Oy Vay!

I made chocolate cherry cordials tonight. I was surprised at how easy it was to do. The molds were fantastic and by putting them in the freezer, they hardened faster. I am glad I found a way to satisfy my Christmas candy craving without having to by box after box of candy.

I just bought my boyfriend's Christmas present from a great company online. I am so excited and can not wait for it to arrive in the mail. Executivegiftshoppe.com is a great site and it was so easy to find what I wanted. Now I have to find the rest of the family's Christmas gifts. Don't think I will be doing it on black Friday though. This is the first year I do not have to go out in that crowd. I might even sleep in.

Tomorrow is the last day of work for the week. Get to go home and eat some nice thanksgiving food. Can not wait :)

That's all I got for now. Thinking of cooking my way through the Alpha Sigma Alpha cookbook in the next few months. Any thoughts?
