Make Special Dinner Event Choices Easy

Figuring out what to eat for our Christmas Eve dinner or even a special New Years Eve dinner, my family has to take into consideration several children’s appetites and adult likes and dislikes too.

As my daughter was planning her menu for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, she decided Christmas Day was a lot easier to plan since there would only be a small group of five for dinner.  Christmas Eve, however, was a little more complicated. We have 5 children and 6 adults to feed with a lot of different tastes.  With a new daughter in law and three children, it is a little harder to know just what type of meal to serve.

My grandsons love the Olive Garden.  They will eat just about anything on the menu.  I have gone to the Olive Garden for years and I enjoy the soup, salad, and bread sticks.  My son-in-law, the real Italian, likes the lasagna and spaghetti with meat balls.  The Fetuccini Alfredo is a family favorite too.  Knowing I had won several Darden Restaurant cards on DealDash, I offered to buy the Christmas Eve meal for all 11 of us.

The Olive Garden is offering a discount if you order your catering menu early.  So, armed with my won and bought gift cards to the Darden Restaurants we were able to order early, get a nice discount, and feed all 11 of us for a little more than $100!  The assistant manager was very helpful in making sure we got the best discount for our money.  The Olive Garden is known for its fast and friendly service and now we know if you order from the catering menu they are equally fast and friendly!

DealDash has saved me a lot of money this past year since I was able to win some nice Darden Restaurant cards or buy them if I didn’t win and get my bids back to try again.  The way I look at it, if I can win a $25.00 card and save some money or buy a $25.00 card and get my bids back to try again, I am ahead.  Thanks DealDash for having such a great selection of gift cards!

I have managed to save a lot of items and gift cards that I received from DealDash and which can used for myself or given as gifts to others.
