Hunting for A Bargain

A long time ago I signed up to be on the Yelp email list, and usually I don't read them all the way through, but recently I got one with this in the subject line: "Yelp! I'm Broke!" and this time they got my attention.

Turns out Yelp has a section of their site called Sales and Special Offers. Here is a blurb from the email, where they highlight some of the Yelpers' favorite deals on food:

Brandon D fiends for the "dried pig, pear compote, and stinky cheese, served with a healthy slice of gentrification" at Uva Enoteca, where you'll find $4 pizzas, paninis and fritto, as well as Peronis for $1.50 and vino for $4. The "Japanese covers of trashy American music" at Sushi Time keep Sig N coming back for more, and their $2 sake and $4 sushi rolls are the stuff of legend. There's a $2 sangria fest goin' on at Lalola, and you can counter-punch that sweetness with some small plates. Save room for dessert, though; Hen A reports their chocolate-drenched bread pudding is a "a semi-sweet fantastic melting soft chew of goodness."

So where do YOU go to find the best deals? Do you go to a website like Yelp to find your bargains? Let us know here, or at news@kalw.org.
