Operation Entertainment Book

During the week we ate out twice, courtesy of vouchers from last year's Entertainment Book which were given to us by other people. Although I can't count those towards savings produced by our own book, they are still worth noting. People tend to give away lots of vouchers at the end of the book's year when it becomes clear that they won't use them before they expire.

Domino's pizza - saved something like $9 on a BOGOF deal. However, one pizza was covered in dollops of raw garlic which was not very pleasant to eat, so we won't be hurrying back for that particular selection. I always loved Domino's pizza when we lived in Northern Ireland, but it does not seem to be made to the same standard here, and based on personal and reported experiences so far I will be switching allegiance to Pizza Hut.

The Flying Burrito Brothers - saved $20, and had an absolutely fantastic meal too on our weekly dinner date. I love that place and look forward to visiting again. We wouldn't normally have Mexican food two weeks in a row, but my chicken burrito was well worth it, and the service is always great there. It is my favourite Mexican restaurant in Christchurch.
