Last year, I got the Lettuce Scratchoff booklet for the first time. http://www.lettucescratchoff.com/
This year, both my girlfriend and I each got a booklet, and the challenge is to try to use as many as these coupons that we can, while using the least amount of money to cover extras, tax and tip- and to document all the food we're getting.
Just some notes:
1) All meals are consumed by only my girlfriend and I.
2) She is out of town Mon-Thurs, and I like to try to stay somewhat healthier by cooking during the week, so all deals are redeemed Fri-Sun
3) When applicable, I always try to tip about 15% on the pre-discounted pre-tax total. I usually just round up that up to the nearest dollar just because I have a little OCD, so tip can vary from 10-20%.
4) Just to make this more challenging, courtesy of my points collected on Amex, I got a $100 Lettuce giftcard of which we'll be using towards all additionals, (so the hope is we won't spend a dollar at all)
5) We live in downtown Chicago, so all of our redemptions will be in the Chicago area. They also expire 9/18, so I doubt I'll be able to use all of the coupons. But we'll try our best!
Anything else I remember, I'll be remember to post in upcoming posts!
