a penny saved….
Everybody’s offering tips to save on dining out these days, but Miami foodist Danny Brody has a truly imaginative list of ideas on DailyCocaine that we all ought to print out and tape to the fridge, including:
9. Carry a flask. Order tap water-when no one’s looking, spill out half and fill with cheap vodka.
We’re aiming to raise $30,000 by December 31, so we can continue covering what matters most to you. If Miami New Times matters to you, please take action and contribute today, so when news happens, our reporters can be there. Also, looking around for other ways to save big dining bucks, I stumbled across South Florida Dines. The deal is, you purchase a coupon on line for half the cost of its value. So, say, you buy a $20 coupon for Dave’s Last Resort for $10, then hand over the coupon once you’ve chowed down on all the clam strips and brewskis you can stomach. Total savings: a ten-spot. As usual with these deelios, there are quite a few restaurants on the list where you’ll have to balance the cost of postprandial chili-dog cramps against your discount, particularly once you factor in the cost of Tums and Alka-Seltzer. But I typed in my zip (33460) and turned up a few goodies in a 30-mile radius, including Sushi Jo, El Chamol, Il Bellagio, Leila, and Trevini (although some of these aren’t valid until after September 1). A random search further south turned up Timpano Chop House, Japango, Giovanni’s Coal Fire Pizza, Cucina D’Angelo, Dubliner, Cafe Joley, Six Tables, Dada, BlueFish, Carolina’s Pizza and more — some with discounts up to $25 and all of which I can recommend as decent eats. Any thrifty souls out there with ideas about how to budget your restaurant habit? Post em here.
