Live the Good Life for Less & Never Miss a Deal

1/2 Price Indian Tacos

Here’s a dining deal that you don’t see every day. The Mid-America All-Indian Center is selling Indian tacos for half price on Wednesdays from 5-8 p.m. From what I’ve heard, these aren’t the scrawny little tacos that we’re used to. Just one Indian taco is enough to make a meal for one person. That makes […]

Free Visitor’s Guides for a Fun Kansas Summer

Although we call Kansas home, most of us haven’t discovered everything about our state, or about all of its individual cities. Personally, I love the Kansas and Wichita Visitor’s Guides.

How to Eat at Cinnamon’s Deli for 1/2 price

Mmm. The turkey, avacado, and cream cheese sandwich at Cinnamon’s Deli is my favorite, even at full price.

But you may have noticed, like I have, that there’s a scarcity of coupons for this locally-owned deli […]
