Happy Hour Just Got Happier

Today's great deal is brought to you by Joe Thomas, a local blogger who serves up the scoop on restaurants, family-friendly activities, and more in his blog about Grapevine.

The Campisi family has been serving its wonderful thin crust pizza to Dallas for over 50 years. When I worked in downtown Dallas, one of my favorite things was that the downtown Campisi's location was just a short walk away.

The Campisi's in downtown Dallas serves up a complimentary pizza buffet during happy hour (5 p.m. to 7 p.m.) Monday through Friday with a purchase of an alcoholic beverage. And the drinks are VERY reasonably priced. Okay, so it is not 100 percent free, but this is pretty close since all you have to do is buy a drink. If you work in downtown Dallas and want to have a nice happy hour before heading home, stop by Campisi's downtown location for a drink and some great complimentary pizza.

I have also heard this same deal is available at the Frisco location, but have not tried that one out yet.

Save at Kohl's

Through tomorrow, Feb. 7, save 15 percent off everything at Kohl's with this coupon. The offer's good on anything in the store (but can't be combined with any other percent-off discounts).

Good Buy at Buca di Beppo

Up for some ravioli, lasagna, bruschetta, pizza, stuffed shells, or chicken parm — in family-style portions? Mmm ... Italian food is the best. Writing this is making me hungry, so I'll skip to the good part: Through Feb. 7 (that's this Sunday), take $10 off any $20 food purchase at Buca di Beppo. You can't go wrong with that. You'll leave full, happy, and with $10 more than you would've had if you didn't have the coupon.

The restaurant is also offering free chocolate-covered strawberries for those who visit on Valentine's Day. The limit is one per guest, but maybe if your date is really nice, you can score his or hers.

A Tat That's All That

For a tattoo minus the pain and with an added little something-something, head to Victoria's Secret for a free scented tattoo. That reminds me of those markers I used to play with at day care that smelled like different things based on their color. Blue (blueberry) and purple (grape) were my favorite. Anyway, no purchase necessary for the Love Rocks temporary tattoo, but supplies are limited.

Make Me a Sammich

I go through phases with foods. My newest phase: sandwiches. So this coupon from Quiznos may come in handy. Save $1 off a regular sandwich or $2 off a large, and/or get a chopped salad and fountain drink for $5.99.

A Strike-ing Deal

One thing I've learned since moving to Texas is that bowling is expensive here compared with the places I grew up bowling at — fortunately, Main Event offers a great deal on Mondays: unlimited bowling, billiards, and laser tag for $9.95. Bowling and laser tag both bring out my competitive streak, so if you see me on the lanes or in the glow-in-the-dark area, you've been warned!

Burn, Baby, Burn

I'd always found yoga a bit boring, but add a burning-hot room, and it suddenly makes it exciting (I mean, sweating buckets is exciting, no?). Sunstone Yoga has a great deal where you pay $10 and get unlimited yoga for 10 days. I tried this with a group of girls a few months ago, and we all had a fun time — but when they tell you to drink lots of water throughout the day and not eat a few hours beforehand, that's no joke. There are 10 locations throughout the Metroplex, with more on the way, and that pass is good at any of them. Happy sweating!

Eating in the A.M.

My favorite meal of the day is breakfast — between waffles, pancakes, omelets, and French toast, what's not to love? Local chain Le Peep Grill is known for its great breakfast, and the Frisco location is offering a coupon to buy one entree, get the second free here (it's got a few restrictions, so read the fine print).

Mmm ... makes me want to have breakfast for dinner!
