Happy Hours!

You know my father raised me to love great food and great deals. I especially love when restaurants have amazing Happy Hour food deals, especially with the economy as is.

One of my friends told me awhile ago about the unbeatable deals at McCormick and Schmick's. What I love about this deal is that it's technically a chain restaurant, so you can find them anywhere. But it's also upscale enough that most people don't notice it's a chain.

Below is a sampling of their 'Happy Hour' menu - not all items are offered every day but they are offered. I was blown away by it!

$1.95
Hummus, Cucumbers and Grilled Pita
Shrimp Ceviche In Citrus Marinade
Blackened Chicken Sandwich Cheddar Cheese and French Fries
Tomato Bruschetta Balsamic Glaze and Basil

$2.95
Classic Cheeseburger with Fries

$3.95
Fried Cod Sandwich Cheddar, Cole Slaw and Fries
Ahi Tuna Roll Shoyu Dipping Sauce
Salmon Cakes Lemon Butter, Apples and Leeks
Calamari Trio of Dipping Sauces
Potato Skins Cheddar, Sour Cream and Crispy Bacon

$4.95
Jambalaya Cajun Red Hot Sausage and Rice
Fish Tacos Salsa Fresca and Sour Cream
Kobe Beef Sliders Cheddar and Caramelized Onions
Fried Shrimp Cocktail Sauce and French Fries
Chicken & Sausage Etouffe Simmered in Nut Brown Sauce with Rice
Peel 'n Eat Shrimp Butter & Old Bay

Not Money Saving But....

I love online shopping for items with free shipping, and I'm willing to bet that you do too. It's not a reduced price, but if you are a Northwest Airlines World Perks member you can get miles for every purchase you make.

Just check out these companies which offer miles for shopping at their site. To access simply go to www.nwa.com and sign in with your world perks frequent flyer number and then go to the skymall.

Need pet supplies like Chanel? Petco and PetSmart are both on there, and I believe Petco lets you use your PALS card to gain points.

Gotta get that song from iTunes? Might as well do it through the Apple Store at NWA to get miles while you get tunes.

Wanna try NetFlix and get an extra 1,000 miles for enrolling? Heck yes!

Even better deal? If you have the NWA World Perks credit card and use it while shopping at these sites I'm pretty sure you can get a mile for every dollar you spend in addition to the site's miles they give you.
