I'm not sure that friends will remember, especially those without the in-your-face Facebook notifications. Thankfully, the folks at Old Country Buffet didn't forget my birthday. I got this coupon by email this morning.
There's most likely too much going on this weekend for us to end up crossing the border and, unfortunately, the closest buffet.com franchise is down in Bellingham, WA. I would imagine that the border wait times are going to be enormous on Saturday and Sunday though. Canadians enjoy invading cities just inside the US because of the perceived retail deals that the larger US market can sustain.
At the moment, the Canadian dollar is worth over $1.05 which makes the deals seem all the greater. If we were to head down, I could save enough on a tankful of gasoline to much more than pay for several dinners. Even without a coupon, it'd seem like a bargain.
