CiCi's Pizza Perks

Before going shopping couponing tonight, Ethan and I decided to eat at CiCi's Pizza. If you know me, you know before I go eat anywhere I look in my stack of coupons and online to be sure there isn't a coupon available. I ended up on the CiCi's Pizza website and noticed there was a place to sign up and receive rewards via email and text. I went through the steps and signed up, knowing this may not mean I would receive any sort of coupon right away but thinking I could receive coupons or deals in the future. Immediately after signing up, I received an email from CiCi's - and it included a coupon for a FREE adult buffet with the purchase of an adult buffet! If you've ever been before, you know that CiCi's is already pretty cheap anyway, especially for a buffet, but getting one of our meals for free made it even better! Ethan and I ended up eating dinner (all you can eat, remember!) for $8.52! You can't beat that! So click HERE to sign up for CiCi's Pizza Perks and get your B1G1 coupon!

• TIP: Publix doubles coupons up to $0.50, which means if you have a coupon worth $0.50 or less, they will double the value unless the coupon says otherwise. Also, with buy one get one deals, you can buy just one item and receive it for half price. These are two reasons why I love Publix! (Please also remember each store is different and your Publix may not double; in the state of Florida, Publix does not double nor do they give you half price when you buy one item in a BOGO sale, you must instead by both items to get the one free.)
