Frugal Good Time

BEN'S YOGURT-N-DELI (location is 9119 E. Braodway, Suite B. His phone number is 893-8050. His hours are Monday-Saurday, 10-9, and Sunday 11-8. He also has delivery available from 12 pm to 3 pm)

Are you in the mood for a "frugal" good time? Are you watching your calorie/fat intake? Do you have a sweet tooth? DO YOU LIKE ICE CREAM?!!! Well, I have JUST the PERFECT place to go AND it's afordable too. I don't know about you, but since I am always "watching" my calorie intake (the Weight Watcher in me) I usually find myself in situations where a few of us go out for ice cream and I do not include myself in the festivities of eating because the calorie/fat intake is too high for me, and I choose not to use my points on it. Well, I'm tellin' you have the PERFECT place.

Have you heard of Ben's Yogurt-n-Deli, out here in the Valley? He has only been open for a month or so, but if you haven't been to Ben's, I'm tellin' ya "get your bootay in that car and go on over." You are missing out! For the yogurt part, here are a few of the details......

It is all frozen yogurt.....
~It is self-serve.
~You can choose from a variety of flavors.
~Depending on the frozen yogurt you choose, there is low-fat (they might all be low-fat), non-fat, and SUGAR-FREE!
~His menu says "Yogurt flavors rotate, please as for flavors of the day." (I had peanut brickle yesterday and it was SOOOOOOOO good).
~You have different sizes to choose from (you can even sample the flavors to see which one you would like the best).
~After you are done choosing your flavor of yogurt, you can put your own toppings on. He has fruit (I saw..mango, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, and even kiwi). He also has a couple of syrups (I think caramel and choloate). Then, he has different candies and nuts you can choose from for toppings, if you choose.

So, you wanna know the price? He charges by the ounce. It is only $0.40 an ounce! A special promo that he is running right now is even better. If you go on Sunday, it is only $0.30 an ounce. Are you kidding me?! Wow, what a deal! You can get whatever you want...if you just want yogurt, then just get yogurt. If you just want fruit, then get fruit. If you just want candy and nut toppings, then just get candy and nut toppings. Whatever you choose, you only pay the $0.30 or $0.40.

My family and I went yesterday and we were very pleased. The environment is VERY comfortable and the prices are great. I HIGHLY recommend you check it out. You will not be dissappointed. The cost for ALL us in my family (there are five of us) was $10 and some change! You can't beat that for going out for "ice cream." I figured my serving of yogurt was ONLY 2 points! I CAN DEFINITELY DEAL WITH THAT! I am going back......

For the deli part, he has....
~Build your own sandwiches
~Grilled Sandwiches
~Specialty Sandwiches
~Paninis
~Wraps
~Salads
~Soup-n-Salad

**Of note, these are my own opinions. I am not being paid to say this. I just really really liked the place.

Thanks!

Please let me know what you think, if you go check it out!

Spokane's Groupon Deal of The Day

Today's Groupon deal for Spokane is.....$45 for $90 Worth of Massage or Facial Services at Urbanna Natural Spa & Salon

It looks like the deal is on! Wow, that seems like a pretty good deal. Here is a little info from the website.....

Booking your body double a beautifying treatment at a tranquil day spa creates a soundproof alibi for days spent stealing office supplies from the National Guard. Make your stand-in stand out and replace your tape with bazooka putty with today’s Groupon: for $45, you get $90 toward massage or facial services at Urbanna Natural Spa & Salon, a tranquil, loungelike spa in the historic Pine Creek Creamery building. Today's Groupon is limited to 1 per person, but you may also buy 1 additional as a gift in honor of Friendship Day.


Urbanna Natural Spa & Salon's licensed massage therapists and experienced aestheticians put their talents to the test during skillful muscle and mug re-mastering sessions. Sink into a sumptuous massage chair as a professional lures stress from the ledge of your shoulders with careful pressure and spoonfuls of Ben & Jerry's. Urbanna offers a wide variety of massage techniques, including classics such as Swedish and deep tissue, and creative styles such as the mojito, which relaxes muscles and tingles the skin’s surface, and the desert stone, which enlists the help of luxurious oils and smooth, heated stones. Massages are offered in 30-, 60-, and 90-minute sessions (prices start at $50 for 30 minutes and vary by type).
If your tension is trapped near the face, opt for a specialty facial. The Mystical nature facial is customized to restore balance, energy, and glow to each client's unique skin ($90 for 75 minutes), and the Nirvana express facial expels grime from pores faster than pores can learn to spell grime ($45). Like the beauty abode's title suggests, natural and organic products are used during all services.
Urbanna Natural Spa & Salon's eclectic, freshly renovated interior is dressed in rich, handsome hues and modern fixtures, making for a true spa escape. Housed in a historic brick building, each treatment room is infused with the flair of a different continent, so you can globe trot without needing vaccines.
Valid only toward massage and facials. By appointment only.

**Groupon Deal of The Day for Spokane**

Today's Spokane Groupon deal of the day looks like a pretty good one. Here is the deal......$4 for $8 of Burritos and Sodas at Slick Rock Burrito

It looks like only four more are needed to be purchased in order for the deal to be on.

Here is the bit of info that Groupon has on ther site for this company.....

After scientists revealed UFOs were actually full-grown tortillas, people everywhere filled swimming pools with guac and beans to catch and dissect the floury creatures. Nab a tender, baby disc with today's Groupon: for $4, you get $8 worth of burritos and sodas from Slick Rock Burrito. Check Slick Rock Burrito's Facebook page for more information. This Groupon is only valid for redemption at the 1908 W. Northwest Boulevard location, and is not valid toward alcohol purchases. However, it is good toward both dine-in or carryout.



Slick Rock Burrito's streamlined menu offers up fresh ingredients made daily. Build your own burrito up from one of five different foundations—chicken ($6.55), steak ($6.75), carnitas ($6.55), ground beef ($6.55), or vegetarian ($6.55)—and then pile on ingredients such as cilantro, black beans, and sour cream at no cost (guacamole and fajita veggies, however, are extra). A Duran Duran cover band's worth of different homemade salsas are on hand to spice up tongue buds, with two mild options, a medium style made with roasted chile corn, a hot style made with tomatillo and red chile, and the "damn hot" style salsa made with habanero and mild profanity. Slick Rock Burrito's specialty burritos include the Thai chicken burrito ($6.95), a symphony of rice, black beans, and chicken that's harmonized with peanut sauce, and the bar-b-que burrito ($6.75), bedecked in rice, pinto beans, pulled pork, and house-made barbecue sauce.


While this Groupon is not valid toward alcohol purchases, Slick Rock does offer fountain drinks to quench the throats of patrons and roaming penguins. Unfurl yourself from your bean-filled sleeping bag and instead drive to the enveloping edibles of Slick Rock Burrito.

Reviews


Slick Rock Burrito won third place in the Inlander Best Burritos category in 2010. Four Google Mappers give it a 3.5-star average rating:
