Chuck E. Cheese SAVINGS

Today we'll be taking our two younger girls to Chuck E. Cheese to celebrate their 7th and 4th birthdays. We didn't book a "party", but we are having a few of their friends coming to meet us there to surprise the birthday girls! =)

Our family doesn't go to Chuck E. Cheese that often, but when we do, I always like to have one of their coupons on hand to get more bang for my buck. I normally would get their coupons from the Sunday paper, but this time I had recently went to http://www.chuckecheese.com/ and registered the girls for the Chuck E-club.

What is so awesome is that about a week before their birthday, I received an email from the Chuck E-club to print out a coupon for 20 FREE tokens for the each of the birthday girls! Wow - that's 2o FREE games, or $5 in FREE fun for each of them! Love it! If your children love to go to CEC, joining the Chuck E-club is definitely a good thing!

You can also print out food coupons from the website. These coupons were a much BETTER deal than the ones I got from the Sunday paper inserts! And each coupon DOESN'T say that I have to use one coupon per family. So, since we have 3 other families meeting us, I will be using 4 coupons. With those coupons I'll get 3 LARGE pizzas, 12 drinks. and 340 tokens all for about $120.. plus I'll have the 40 free tokens for the birthday girls. I think that's a pretty good deal!

Food and tokens for the kids....that equals FUN! Plus, I don't have to clean up after or purchase goodie bags for each child (they'll get prizes by redeeming their tickets from playing games). Hope they all have a great time!

Kids eat FREE!

Yesterday was my oldest daughter's 13th birthday, and to celebrate, the whole family went out to eat. She requested Gyotaku in Pearl City, which I don't mind at all for 2 reasons. I LOVE Japanese food, and kids eat FREE on Mondays and Tuesdays! One free keiki (child) meal per adult entre. What's also great is there meal comes complete with a soft drink and a dessert! See Gyotaku's kids menu here.

I know there are more restaurants in Hawaii that kids can eat FREE on certain days, but I can't think of any at the moment. Please leave a comment if you know of any! I'd love to hear about it!

Follow up on 5/15: I also found that Tony Roma's offer FREE meals for kids (for each adult entre ordered) every Tuesday.

Are you a magazine junkie?

I love magazines! Especially if it pertains to my interests such as parenting, family, food, and crafts! After shopping at Walmart, I almost always stop at the magazine rack before checking out to see if there is anything that interests me. Even with Walmart's 10% off the cover price, a magazine issue can cost anywhere from about 3 to 5 dollars! Whoa! That's a chunk of change! But I'm a sucker for a new, unwrinkled mag that catches my attention! Ha ha! Anyway, I take the issue home, and all these postcards start falling out as I read it...and of course...WOW, it's much cheaper just to subscribe to it than to purchase it individually!

BUT WAIT! There's even a BETTER choice! Remember I mentioned Ebates? Well register for Ebates (which is totally free!) then head to Magazines.com to place your order and get a whopping 26% cash back from Ebates! How cool is that!
