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 if there’s one thing I savor more than a Cinnamon’s Deli sandwich, it’s a half-price Cinnamon’s Deli sandwich. But you may have noticed, like I have, that there’s a scarcity of coupons for this locally-owned deli […]
