Last night, we went out to dinner at Chili’s.  We hardly ever go there but I had read at slickdeals that they’re doing a promotion for two meals, an appetizer and dessert for $20. That’s a pretty good price for a meal like that, so we thought we’d go.  Once we got in there, though, there was absolutely nothing about it on the menu.  We started looking at other options on the menu since it wasn’t available.

When the waitress (finally) arrived to ask for drink orders, I asked her about the promotion.  She said that she thought it had already ended, but it was still in the computer so she’d bring me a menu of the eligible items.  So she did, and we ordered food (which turned out to be quite good!) and we had a lovely lovely evening.

Also, before this dinner event, I sent my husband to CVS to pick up Pepsi while I went to Walgreens with the baby, and I actually combined this lovely evening with drugstore shopping. How much better does it get?  I’m too embarrassed to post a picture of the heaping pile of stuff we bought at Walgreens, though. I had a LOT of RRs from the Bayer monitors to use.  It mainly went for Pepsi products (we are stocked up through approximately August, and we drink quite a lot of it..if that tells you anything) and a humidifier.

Anyway, my point is–it doesn’t hurt to ask, in situations like this.  The worst they’re going to say is no, and you just might get what you want.  And for the record, this was just posted about at slickdeals so I don’t think that it’s an ended promotion, regardless of what our waitress said.  Feel free to try it out in your area.  I was pleased to see that the options on the menu were actually good ones–it usually feels like those special menus have less appealing entrees than the real menu.
