More restaurant deals for Veterans Day
I mentioned in earlier posts in the past week about the Veterans Day specials being offered by Bar Louie, Applebees and Golden Corral, but Restaurant News and a recent e-mail also brought to light some other great restaurant deals of note.
Here is a comprehensive roundup of the deals being offered to our servicemen and women this Veterans Day, Wednesday, Nov. 11:
Applebee’s Neighborhood Grill and Bar is inviting veterans and active-duty members of the military in on Wednesday for a free entree among six menu favorites.
At Outback Steakhouse restaurants across the country, veterans on Wednesday will receive a free Bloomin’ Onion appetizer and a beverage of choice, either a nonalcoholic drink or one draft Anheuser-Busch beer.
Krispy Kreme is giving veterans and active-duty military a free doughnut of their choice on Wednesday at any U.S. location.
Uno Chicago Grill is offering veterans a free entree or a pizza with the purchase of another entree or pizza Wednesday at any of its 200 locations. Showing up in uniform, or guests who show a photo of themselves in uniform, will be enough to receive the offer.
Golden Corral is hosting its ninth annual Military Appreciation Day on Nov. 16, to avoid conflict with others Veterans Day events. The event will take place from 5 to 9 p.m. Anyone who has served in the U.S. military, National Guard or Reserves is invited for a free buffet dinner.
Bar Louie at The Greene in Beavercreek will give all military veterans or currently employed military personnel a complimentary lunch or dinner. The requirements are some form of military ID or proof of serving.
Also, starting Wednesday and going through Nov. 30, Bar Louie will collect items for troops currently serving overseas to put in care packages.
As for locally owned restaurants, at Rue Dumaine, at 1061 Miamisburg-Centerville Road, the restaurant is offering 20 percent off to all veterans or active duty military members; all that is required is that you show appropriate I.D.
And at Barbie’s Bistro, 1122 E. Dorothy Lane in Kettering, will have 50 percent off any dinner or lunch entree for diners with a military ID on Veterans Day.
Also, as a big bonus, the restaurant will have half off appetizers and drink specials for everyone that day.

Stores wage DVD price war; consumers win
Like books and toys before them already this fall, DVDs are the latest battleground for retailers online.
This price war is between the familiar players of Walmart, Amazon and Target, and is resulting in new DVDs to be sold for less than $10.
CNBC detailed the course of events late last week, which had Walmart lowering the online prices of new DVDs (such as “Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince” and “Star Trek”) to $10, Amazon responding by reducing some of its DVD prices to $9.99, and Walmart then lowering its DVDs again to $9.98.
Reuters also threw in that Target is offering 10 pre-order DVDs at $10 and offering free delivery.
So, to see where we are this morning, Nov. 9, I checked the price of three popular DVDs at these three mentioned stores.
Here are the prices I found online for:
“Up” due out Tuesday, Nov. 10:
— $15.99, with $2.99 shipping at Target
— $14.86 and free shipping at Walmart
— $14.99 at Amazon with free shipping if you order $25 or more (standard shipping is $1.99).
“Star Trek” due out Nov. 17:
— $9.99 with free shipping at Target
— $9.98 and free shipping at Walmart
— $10 at Amazon with free shipping if you order $25 or more (standard shipping is $1.99).
“Julie and Julia” due out Dec. 8:
— $9.99 with free shipping at Target
— $9.98 and free shipping at Walmart
— $10 at Amazon with free shipping if you order $25 or more (standard shipping is $1.99).
So Walmart is leading the pack with these selections.
Another option if you don’t mind reconditioned DVDs that are “like new,” is a site I came across a site that sells reconditioned DVDs from around $2.99 to $7.99, with free shipping.
It is called www.dvdsanddeals.com, and it is for a little older DVDs. It does have movies as recent as “Gran Torino” and “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button,” both for $7.99.

50% and more off at Target, Toys R Us, JCPenney
Many stores are selling items for at least half off during sales this week. Many are things for the Christmas season, items you can buy as Christmas presents or some you may want to buy for yourself.
Here are some of the big holiday discounters having these sales this week (not all last the week — see each note for sale times):
Toys R Us has the biggest savings I have seen on board games for preschoolers. During its “biggest game sale of the season” this week, games like Candy Land, Chutes and Ladders and the Memory Game are just $1.99 after $2 rebate.
For perspective, Walmart has those same games on sale for $5.
Also on the toy front, Target has 50 percent off “the most wanted toys,” as noted in its toy catalog that came out this weekend.
Those toys include a Puppy in my Pocket Puppyville Manor Play Set for $9.99 (regularly $19.99) and Hot Wheels Race Aces Speed Shift Raceway for $16.49 (regularly $32.99), among others.
The Target toy catalog, if you have it lying around from the mail or the newspaper, also has an extensive coupon book in the middle. Those coupon books are good through Nov. 25. You also can get Target coupons online.
Walmart also released its Christmas toy guide this week, with many top toys selling for $10.
And, as noted by Reuters, Walmart has targeted TVs and turkeys in this week’s price cuts (that started Wednesday).
Reuters said the latest cuts include a Sharp 1080p 42-inch high definition TV cut 35 percent to $498 from $768, and selling a Sony Blu-ray player for $148, down from its current price of roughly $197.
And on Wednesday, Walmart will sell select turkeys for 40 cents per pound, meaning a 12 pound turkey could be purchased for $4.80.
JCPenney has what it is calling its “biggest sale of them all” through today, Nov. 9, marking down clothes for guys — hoodies, flannels or jeans — 65 percent.
The store also has 40 percent to 50 percent off women’s boots and 50 percent off misses coats.
And, at JCPenney, don’t forget to print out your Instant Cash in coupons before you go.
This week, Sears continues to push the Craftsman products, and has 50 percent to 70 percent off luggage this week. The store also has 50 to 60 percent off fleece for the family, and misses sweaters for $14.99.
It might be best to hit Sears later in the week, when the store kicks off its Veterans Day sale and has savings of 60 percent off coats for the family and 60 percent off men’s apparel. That sale is Wednesday through Friday.
Elder-Beerman has 50 percent off playwear by Carter’s and OshKosh B’Gosh this week.
Michaels has a sale for four days only, marking down the Christmas village collection and bead jewelry collection 50 percent.
Hancock Fabrics is having a Veterans Day sale through Wednesday, Nov. 11, offering 50 percent off its entire stock of notions, cotton, batting and decorator fabrics, as well as 50 percent off Christmas ribbon and 30 percent to 50 percent off fleece.
And the site notes today that Christmas fabrics are 60 percent off at Hancock.
Jo-Ann Fabric and Crafts has a Veterans Day sale as well, with 50 percent off holiday gift wrap and Christmas decor, as well as 50 percent off select quilting and home decor fabrics. This sale is through Veterans Day.
And Morris Home Furnishings has 50 percent off all furniture, leather and mattresses. Supposedly this is a Veterans Day sale that ends at 9 p.m. Wednesday, but Morris has been having this sale often this year.
