some really great resturants, the list is here http://www.godowntownraleigh.com/restaurantweek/index.html



This isn't a special but it is a new restaurant downtown that looks good and nothing on the menu is over $8, so i feel it qualifies http://www.spizecafe.com/menu.html

Moe Joes has $2 burgers every night after 10 pm

Kanki has $10 steak dinners and BOGO sushi every MW

$7-$8 for lunch. Man, I really must be a tightwad, because I think that's pretty outrageous, not a "deal"... of course those places probably aren't McDonalds quality either.

Haha...where I live now, if you can get lunch for less than $10, that's a pretty fantastic deal. I've found a place where I can get a pretty awesome sandwich, fries and a drink for $8, and I was pretty stoked at how inexpensive it is.

^^how the hell does one of those fill you up? Either of those is a snack at best.

8/21/2009 2:50:46 PM

Jibarra is an upscale resturant, i didn't say that it was "cheap" but that a good price for what it is

[Edited on August 21, 2009 at 2:51 PM. Reason : hell, i can't eat at a sandwhich shop for that]

Those coupon books are pretty good too and it forces you to try new places.

8/21/2009 3:11:27 PM

Moe's has a $5 dinner every night. I think Monday is Joey bag of donuts and Wed. is quesdilla night. YUM!


Also, Cuevas de Lobos in the Avent Ferry shopping center has $2 margaritas mondays and .99 cent taco tuesdays

i got a pretty good one in the mail from outback (be on the lookout!).

not that outback is amazing BUT it was buy one entree get one of their 9.95 entrees free. which aren't that bad. i got a 6oz steak, baked potato and shrimp fo freeeeee.

i don't know how to find it online though

but boston market ALWAYS has awesome coupons in the newspaper. a lot of buy one get one free meals. so does el dorado (if anyone eats there - honestly every week in the paper there is a buy one get one free coupon and they don't expire)

I learned this from Evan so I'll give him credit. But with gmail

aaaa@gmail.com is the same e-mail as aa.aa@gmail.com = aa.........aa@gmail.com= etc. Basically gmail doesn't reconigize periods or underscores.

SOOOOOOO

Step 1: Make a junk gmail account
Step 2: Go to moes.com and put your e-mail into their database. You will get free queso for signing up and a free meal on your 'birthday.'

So enter in the date that is about 2 days away so they have time to mail you your coupon. However, if you want to enter it again and get another free meal so you don't have to wait a year, simply enter in one of the alternative gmail accounts.

Does anyone here use restaurant.com? If so, pm me if you want to save 80 percent on their coupons. I get the $25 gift certificates for 2 bucks a pop, and I think I can just share my promo code for you to take advantage.

8/22/2009 11:01:36 AM

^ I use it a lot! Yum Yum for cheap!

8/22/2009 12:21:36 PM

in the dollar saver coupon book--in dorms, wolf mart, etc.--there's a coupon for a free waffle from waffle house (NO PURCHASE NECESSARY)
