Restaurant.com Weekly Promo Offer 300 x 250

WOW!  This is the best deal I’ve ever seen at  Restaurant.com.  Enter code NINETY at check-out to receive $25 dining certificates for only $1! 

This is a 99 hour sale that began at midnight PST 9/9/09 (Oh…I get it…99 hours…9/9/09…see?)  If my math is correct, the sale will end at 3 am PST on 9/13/09 then.

If you have never used Restaurant.com, it is a great way to save money on  thousands of nations across the nation.  Simply enter your zip code to discover what is available in your area. Or you may even want to think ahead to where you will be vacationing over the next year since gift certificates typically don’t expire for a year.

You will want to be sure to read the fine print.  Most restaurants require you to purchase a certain dollar amount of food or a certain number of entrees in order to use the certificate.  It’s still a great deal though!

I’ve updated my Huggies Rewards Codes google document with codes worth 62 more points thanks to More than Cents!  The codes highlighted in red are the newest codes.  Go to EnjoytheRideRewards.com to spend them on Instant Wins, Sweeps, Interactive Games and more!

The word is that a lot of people have been winning cash through the Cash Extravaganza Game in the Interactive Games section.  However, the game was no longer there when I checked.  You may want to save some points in case it pops up again!

Let me know if you win anything!  (I’ll let you know if I do too. =)

By the way, if you discover that some of the codes in the google doc have expired, could you let me know?  I will be sure to update the list.  Thanks!

    CLOSED: Duncan Hines Giveaway

     I was pretty sure it must be Christmas the other day when the UPS man showed up at my house with a box full of these:

    Yep.  The folks at Duncan Hines made my day be sending me a package of their new Cupcake and Muffin Mixes.  I am a big fan of keeping things SIMPLE and YUMMY in the kitchen.  And Duncan Hines definitely fits that bill.

    So, the BIG question was, “Which to try first?!”  Griffin and I discussed our options and finally came to a consensus: Triple Chocolate Chunk Muffins.  PLUS the box says that they are whole grain–that has to be good, right?  Could it get any better than that?

    So we got to work:

     Mommy’s Happy Helpers

    Things were going very smoothly until I turned my back for a second.

    Does he look guilty or what?!

    Apparently, Big Brother decided Lincoln needed a taste of his gourmet cooking.  Lincoln was glad to help.

    Not as innocent as he appears

    Finally the muffins were popped in the oven.  Once they were done, Griffin and I shared one.  We put on our Food Critic Hats and discussed our unbiased opinions about the taste, texture, and consistency of this product and came to a decision.

    These muffins are YUMMY!! 

    (I may or may not have had more once Griffin went down for his nap–ahem!)
