Penny Pinching at Sonic

Written by on April 17, 2009 in Uncategorized - 2 Comments

logoThe girls and I were making an exchange at the outlets yesterday and I decided we needed a treat.  I told them it was a treat for being good and putting up with mommy and all her store hopping but in reality it was a treat for Mommy for dealing with 2 whiney kids while hoping from store to store!  Our treat was to stop at Sonic Drive-In.

This may be no big deal to you but we have to drive about 45 minutes to find a Sonic.  The sad thing is I LOVE Sonic!  Well, maybe that isn’t so sad. Maybe that is keeping my pennies in my pocket. :)

So we drove up looking for cherry lime aid! My ALL TIME FAVORITE!!!  Turns out they have drinks 1/2 off from 2-4!! ( restrictions apply ) It was 3:30!! YAAA HOOO!!! So if you are driving a Sonic Drive In from 2-4 stop in to get your drink 50% off.

From the website:

Of course, the SONIC Drive-In itself makes a huge difference. Here are just a few ways:

Drive-In Concept
Customers can park their cars and order without waiting in a busy drive-thru line.

Convenience
Customers order from their cars. There’s no need to walk up to the counter thanks to the intercom, and the canopy provides shade and weather protection.

Great Service
Carhops deliver food straight to every customer’s car.

Great Food
Hot, fresh food is made-to-order and whatever way customers want it—with extra jalapeños, pickles, chili, etc.

    Thanks for sharing all your penny pinching secrets day in and day out! On the fast food note, have you heard Burger King has kids meals for 99 cents right now??? After reading the fine print you get the kids meal for 99 cents after buying a value meal but it’s still a heck of a deal!

    that sounds pretty good! I think I saw a commercial for that the other day. I will have to check out if they have a value meal I like.. Also if you can buy more than one kids meal at 99 cents with said value meal. Not much of a deal for me when I am feeding multiple kids! Thanks for the feedback CK!
