My favorite Arizona Restaurant Week Menus (click on the links to see full menus):
True Food– 2 people enjoy a two-course meal for $30
Zinburger- 2 people dine INCLUDING wine or beer for $30
Binkleys– $40 per person for a meal that includes seven separate parts (amuse bouche, first course, intermezzo, second course, pre-desserts, third course, and mignardises). You’ve got to check out the menu…I’ll bet your mouth waters like mine just did!
Other ways to save going out to eat:
Local Dines (click here to check them out) is a website that features some of the BEST restaurants in town. You buy certificates worth twice as much as what you pay for them! There are very few restrictions (most restaurants will let you use the certificates on alcohol), and I’ve always had a great experience redeeming them.
Some of my favorite restaurants are on the list like Macayo’s, Calistro Bistro, 5th and Wine, Cold Beer and Cheeseburgers, Arcadia Tavern, Eddie’s House, Over Easy, Crust, Don and Charlie’s, Jalapenos Inferno, The Vig, and many, many other great places (67 total). They sell 50 certificates from each restaurants each month, so if it’s out of stock now, try again next month. This site has gotten me to try some great new places and allowed me to pay way less to dine out (one of my favorite things to do).
Hope you love the site as much as I do!
Save big on facebook:
Facebook can help lower your going out to eat bill too! Click here to snag an offer for a free egg sandwich when you buy one from Einstein’s.
Click here to join the Cinnabon e-mail list and get a coupon for a totally free Minibon at participating bakeries.
Click here to print off a coupon for a quinoa and arugula salad (that sounds so good) from California Pizza Kitchen. This is good for dine-in or take-out and it doesn’t say there is a purchase required. Yum!
Save big with the kiddos:
If you have children, you know how expensive it is to take the family out to eat! Here’s a list of valley restaurants that let kids eat free certain days (some everyday). You’ll be amazed at how much you save (and you won’t have to cook)! Thank you so much to all of the wonderful Alicia’s Deals in AZ readers who contributed!
