"Secret" food deals
"Secret" food deals
1) If you ask for 10% off at Rosati's, they'll give it to you no questions asked. It used to be a publicized deal, now it is only for those who know. Only good for dine-in and carry-out.
2) If you go to Alexander's Steakhouse M-Th, and are seated before 6pm, then you qualify for the "early-bird" special, which is not on their menu. It's a 7oz sirloin +salad bar +potato and texas toast for $11.99. If you have an i-card, then it's a "student special", and you can get an additional $1 off.
3) The "Fat Magnum" ($7.75) at Fat Sandwich Company would cost $12.00 if you made it with BYO. "Fat Frat' ($7.50) would cost $11.25 as BYO. Other sandwiches ("Fat Chief", "Fat Illini") are cheaper to BYO than to buy for the list price. Chances are, they are losing money on the Magnum and Frat.
4) Subway in Savoy-Walmart has pizza, which is very good, and is cheaper than it should be. Also, they still have foot-long chicken pizziola sandwiches for $5 (not advertised anymore).
5) If you get a calzone at Geovanti's, you can ask for pizza sauce instead of marinara, and this greatly improves the calzone. Also, if you ask for a calzone with chicken, they cut up their chicken strips, and use them. Large pizzas are $4.95 + toppings if you ask for it. This makes them cheaper than the small pizzas.
6) You can call in and order pizza from Sam's Club, and it's actually pretty decent for the price. They don't deliver, but you can pick up, or eat in, and drinks are only $0.69.
7) Garcia's pizza slices are 1/3 larger after 11pm.
And one secret "deal" that isn't such a deal:
8) White Horse has all you can eat tacos on Wednesday evenings for $3.95. They are so terrible that you are not usually limited by your appetite, but instead limited by how many you can eat before they make you sick.
I'm dying to hear a few more "secret" deals.
