TGI Friday’s is offering a FREE appetizer with any entree purchase with this TGI Friday’s coupon. This coupon is good until September 8th.

Also, just a reminder this is the last weekend to receive the FREE $10 gift card that participating T.G.I.Friday’s locations are offering.  How do you get this gift card? Well, just order 2 of their new Carribbean Entrees and then you will receive this gift card for you to use in the future. This deal is going on until September 6th. The entrees are $8.99 – $17.99.

There may be a chance that TGI Friday’s would let you use the coupon the the FREE entree and receive the $10 gift card as long as both of your entrees are the Carribean ones.  You might as well ask as it never hurts to do so – but could yield you even more savings!

There are quite a few deals, discounts and coupons available right now for Bucca Di Beppo Italian restaurant. This comes at the perfect time as many of you shared favorite date night and family dinner ideas shared on The Thrifty Couple on Facebook page and one of the picks was Buca Di Beppo.

This post is full of some italian meaty discounts – just what I like to hear and find. Honestly, we have yet to try this restaurant (closest is about 40 minutes away) but everyone is talkin’ it up.  Earlier this evening, we received an email from reader Desiree regarding national Lasagna day (details below) at Buca Di Beppo.  This caused us to do our usual thrifty searching for all of the possible current discounts at a restaurant – just like we showed you with Red Robin (a family dinner out favorite) before.

Let’s break down all the ways to save at Buca Di Beppo – I’m sensing a special date night out for Thrifty Cas and I in our near future….

First way to save: Buy a discount gift card

This is one of the very first things we check whenever we decide where we might want to have dinner out.  City Deals website is one of the first websites that we use to help us score discounts since we started becoming The Thrifty Couple many years ago.  It is one of our original thrifty tricks and it continues to be one of our favorites still.

The good news is that you can get a Buca Di Beppo gift card at a great discount right now. Here’s how great this is - you can purchase a $20 gift card for only $12 bucks (plus $0.99 shipping)!  They have a limit to how many of these they can sell and right now they only have around 700 left – this may go quickly, so don’t miss your opportunity.

Second way to save: Use Coupons

After you have purchased your gift card (that is just like cash) for an amazing discount (and any discount on cash is amazing), then use coupons on your meal to bring your total down even further.  There are a number of Buca Di Beppo coupons out right now:

• Red Plum is offering a printable coupon for $10 off a $20 meal
• Coupon for $10 off a $20 meal can also be found in the 6/27 and 7/25 Red Plum coupon inserts

This means you have just stretched your $12.99 gift card purchase to be worth $30.

Third way to save: In-Restaurant Specials

These will always come and go, but truly this is how we stretch that date budget a little further.  We literally try to combine all three of these types of discounts when and where we can; ordering the specials helps take it to the next step as they are usually are a discounted entree.

There is an in-restaurant special that is going on right now:

It is National Lasgana Day at participating Buca Di Beppo locations across the country. This is on July 29th, 2010 and what that means is that you get a FREE lunch-sized lasagna when you purchase any Buca Small or Buca Large pasta or entree. Thanks goes out to Reader Desiree for the heads up on this!

What this may all mean in the end (after all discounts) is that your $12 gift card purchase could be worth $30 and a FREE lasagna! Talk about getting your monies worth.  We are looking forward to this date soon!

We just wanted to let you awesome readers of ours (and if you are reading this – you are on of our awesome readers) that we, Thrifty Al and Thrifty Cas are on a thrifty road trip.  We have been on a little vacation since Monday.

The fun part is that it is just the two of us! We haven’t been on a road trip or vacation just the two of us for several years! The four thrifty kiddos are at home and grandma and grandpa moved in for the week!

The first call we made home we talked to our six year old first – the oldest.  Her first two questions: “did you sleep in?” and “did you go into the hot tub?” Why, well she heard us talking to our parents saying that the things we look most forward to are sleeping in (we can’t do this at home with a 6,5,3 and 1 year old!) and going to the hot tub together (as we always take turns when we travel with the kids ) It was very cute and so sweet that she was thinking of us (and listening to our conversations )

Anyway, we wanted to remind you about our Road Trip Thrifty Couple Style posts to possibly help you save more on your upcoming road trips. We have two parts so far….

• Part 1 – Prepare Your Vehicle
• Part 2 – The Actual Ride

Also check out our travel category for up-to-the-minute travel deals, offers, and FREEBIES.  We love our FREE drinks from Pilot!

There’s more to this series coming, but be sure to read and get caught up to where we are at now with our travel series!  Leave any comments regarding more ideas or things you do to make those road trips even thriftier!

We have been and will still post deals as we see them, even while we are gone!
