Wow. We just got what was possibly the best food delivery bargain ever.
See, we had planned on ordering pizza tonight to eat while watching the KU game and I was just about to call and place the delivery order when I stumbled upon an article about how to save money. There was a link to the Entertainment Book company's website, and I clicked it, remembering the coupon books and the wondrous bargains within from my childhood. So, Mark and I bought an Entertainment Book online for $15.00 (the price gets discounted after April 1st) and it's being shipped to us for free. This was all happening as I held both my phone and the sub-par coupon we had planned on using. Obviously I got distracted and the pizza delivery order had been pushed to after the ordering of the coupon book. But wait!--you can use the website to print about a gazillion additional coupons. I found the place we were planning to order from and lo and behold there was a coupon for buy one get one free (up to a $17.00 value). We called, caused much confusion (what kind of coupon is it? what size pizza is the coupon for?), and placed our order for two large two-topping pizzas. I thought I had just misheard him when he said that the total was $11.33, but rather than causing any more of a ruckus and asking the price a third time, I decided to just wait and see when they brought the pizza. I was thinking that maybe despite my double-checking after the first mention of the price that they were indeed large pizzas they would maybe be mediums or even smalls. See, each large pizza was supposed to be $12.99 plus $1.75 for each topping. Here's what arrived: Two large two-topping pizzas. We still can't quite figure out the math.
