I love the idea of coupons, but I’m not a coupon clipper. I don’t buy enough brand name items to make it worth the time. However, the last few days I have been absolutely giddy as the result of some impressive coupon savings. Last night Tom wanted to go out for dinner before my opera. He was working like crazy so I told him I’d take care of picking out a restaurant. I jumped on restaurant.com to see what restaurants offered coupons. Long story short- I got a $25.00 gift certificate each to Indian Flame, Zdara, and Melting Pot all for $7.00. (Thanks to a 80% off coupon code.) So last night Tom and I enjoyed a mango lassi, serving of naan, and three entrees all for $22.00!!

Today I used my $50.00 Gap groupon, that I had bought a couple months ago for $25.00 to buy my first pair of skinny jeans. (I know, I know, but I’ve gotta emphasize whatever I’ve got that’s still skinny!) So I saved $25.00 just because. Love it!

How do you use coupons? Any great deals lately?
