50% off on National Ravioli Day

Mark your calendars: Tuesday, March 20th is National Ravioli Day. And to celebrate Bravo! Cucina Italiana is offering 50% off all ravioli dishes (except for small plates). From what I can tell no coupon is necessary to get this half-off deal.

There are two Bravo! locations in the Philadelphia area:

  • The Lehigh Valley Mall in Whitehall, PA
  • The Willow Grover Mall in Willow Grove, PA

You can find out more information about Bravo! Cucina Italiana on the restaurant’s website.

Get Half Off at Starbucks

starbucks coffeeeStarbucks would like you to consider a two-a-day–for coffee, that is (not working out).

From March 8-14 you can get half off a cup of coffee. Here’s how that deal works.

Customers who buy any espresso beverage before 11 a.m. can return to Starbucks after 2 p.m. that same day (you know, before the 3 p.m. slump sets in). And with morning receipt in hand, you’ll get any hot or iced espresso beverage for half price.

Leap Day Deals and Freebies: Philly

leap day dealsThere are a number of establishments in the Philadelphia area that are “celebrating” Leap Day tomorrow (February 29th) with deals, discounts, and freebies. I’ve rounded up as many as I could find, but if you hear of others in Philly, do post a comment to let us know.

FOOD DEALS AND FREEBIES

  • The Field House Bar and Restaurant at 11th and Filbert in Philly is celebrating its 4th birthday on February 29th and is offering an open bar and free food from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. You must contact the restaurant to be put on its guest list to get this freebie.
  • Krispy Kreme locations in Philly are offering a Leap Day doughnut deal. You can get a half dozen–or 6–original glazed donuts for only $2.29. Get it? The price is like the date? FYI, a dozen donuts usually costs close to $8 so this is a real savings! You’ll find Krispy Kreme locations in Bensalem, Collingswood (NJ), and Center City.
  • Dine at a discount at Buca di Beppo! Bring this coupon with you to enjoy a meal for 4 for only $29 on 2/29/12. This prix fixe menu includes salad, a pasta dish, and dessert. What a great deal–that comes out to a little more than $7 per person! You’ll find Buca di Beppo locations in Center City, Exton, and Wynnewood.
  • Get a free cookie at Subway when you purchase a meal there on Leap Day.
  • Lunch is on Einstein Bros Bagels–when you buy one lunch sandwich, you’ll get another for free. Click the Get Offer link on the Facebook page and an email coupon will be sent to your inbox. This freebie is not only good on February 29th but actually is valid through March 4. There are tons of Einstein Bros Bagel locations in the Philly area; the one closest to me is in Newtown (Bucks County).
  • Some deal sites are saying that you can get a free cup of coffee at McDonald’s in the New York Metro area. When I visited the New York Metro McDonald’s website, I found this freebie instead: BOGO (buy one get one free) Big Mac or Sausage McMuffin. The closest McDonald’s to us for this deal is in New Brunswick. Anyone heading up towards Rutgers on Leap Day?
  • While not technically a Leap Day Deal–though you can take advantage of it on February 29th–this double freebie was too good not to mention. Go “Like” Arby’s on Facebook, and then you can print out a coupon for a free drink and curly fries that you will get when you purchase an Arby’s Reuben sandwich. This deal is good through March 11th.

OTHER LEAP DAY DEALS AND DISCOUNTS

  • Get free admission at the Woodmere Art Museum on Leap Day. (The Woodmere Art Museum is located in Chestnut Hill.)
  • Frontier Airlines is having a Leap Year Sale on airfare. Frontier flies from 65 cities, including Philadelphia. These discounted fares must be booked by before midnight on 2/29/12 and must be used by May 9th.
  • The Haverford Library is offering a free book fine amnesty day on February 29th. That is, if you have overdue books from the library, you can return them on Leap Day and have the fee waived. Check out the Haverford Library website for details.
