Free Zaxby's Food!

Dining-out-a-phobia: (n.) 1. The fear of paying full price for a meal. See also: cheapskate.

Shoulda, coulda, woulda...My dear family and I went out to eat @ Zaxby's today, and, come to find out, I could have been planning for this lunch out with some bang-up coupons!

You can join the Zax Mail Club (e-mail newsletter club) by clicking here. (You may use your mouse pointer to right-click the link, then choose, "Open Link in New Window".) The website states that you will receive a FREE Meal Deal coupon (one per household) in your mailbox within 6 weeks; however, other offers and deals will be sent monthly to your e-mail box.

Also, there is a Zax Kidz Club, which mails a FREE cookie card to your child just for joining, as well as a FREE Kidz Meal Card mailed on his or her birthday (you must mail or fax the entry form to the address provided). I have a little darling daughter who is entering toddlerhood soon....better get on this one!

Eating out when on a budget is difficult for everybody, but freebies like this ease the pain (or phobia?) of paying full price--and treating kids to an often-pricey meal when they might end up eating half a piece of Texas Toast and bathing in your ketchup at best.

Just enter the name of your favorite restaurant in a search engine (many of you have toolbars at the top of this window for that very purpose) and visit the website, which may give you details on receiving free appetizers, drinks, or $$$-off meals just for joining their fan club. Off the top of my head, I know that I have signed up with Ruby Tuesday, Red Lobster, O'Charley's, Longhorn, Applebee's, and Chili's restaurants, and I have never been disappointed with their offers!

Happy eating!
