Giant food stores often offers free store brand products, when you buy the name brand product.  They do this so you can run a side by side test of your own to compare their products to the national brands.  This week (thru 3/7)  they are offering: crab cakes, canned pineapple, chicken broth, and tortellini.  You MUST use your BONUSCARD (store loyalty card), and both the store brand and name brand products must be purchased in the same transaction.

Here is where you can find some basic info on this promo.

Here is the store circular-this gives complete details on page 6.

Review of our trip to the Tilted Kilt Restaurant

2/26/2015

0 Comments

 
Recently, I received my copy of the 2015 Lehigh Valley area visitors brochure.  In it is a center section with a bunch of coupons, including one for a free order of Pub Pretzels from Tilted Kilt. The Tilted Kilt has been on our list of places to try for a while so hubby and I decided to give it a go.  For those who are unaware, this restaurant is similar to hooters in that the servers are mostly pretty girls in skimpy clothing, which may be offensive to some, but I don't personally find objectionable.  We visited the Allentown location, but a location in Easton was recently opened. 

Firstly, the decor in this restaurant is a bit odd.  It is Irish themed, but isn't exactly like a cozy pub...its more like a dimly lit warehouse.  There is some sparse Irish decor and lots of TVs, but it isn't homey at all.  There are only high and low tables, no booths.  The ladies room felt somewhat dingy, BUT I did appreciate that there are paper towels (not just a blow drier) and that the door opens outward (I appreciate not having to touch door handles when leaving a restroom!).

Our server was friendly, but only moderately attentive-despite it being mid afternoon on a Sunday and not too busy (and there being seemly tons of staff).  We got our free pub pretzels, which consisted of two soft pretzels and some cheese dip that I believe had a slight mustard flavor.  I am not a fan of mustard but this dip was good.  I wish the pretzels were softer, but they were very filling and a great deal for free food!  I got the margherita pizza, which was larger than I could finish after having the appetizer so I took half home (which hubby finished pretty promptly after returning home).  It was well balanced, with lots of cheese and the tomato slices added a nice acid.  However, it was a little...soggy-for lack of a better term.  I honestly don't think it was grease, I think it was just condensation from how warm it was.  I have never experienced pizza that was soggy before, so again...odd.  Surprisingly, not inedible though.

I had the pizza and a shirley temple, and hubby had an entree salad (no meat on it) and our total came to $20, which I consider somewhat expensive.  The free app helped offset that, but I will certainly not be treating myself to this place very often-more than likely only if I have a coupon.

Here is another place to find the free app coupon for the Allentown store also from Discover Lehigh Valley.
