Saving Craving! Savings tip: Sneaky savings at Red Robin

The other day I went to lunch with two of my girlfriends at Red Robin. It's one of our favorite places to eat because the portions are generous, the prices are reasonable (as long as you avoid appetizers, drinks, and desserts), they give a FULL dessert and a FREE whole burger on your birthday, and they have bottomless steak fries. Fries. Are. Heaven.

I thought I would share my favorite RR savings trick! One of their most popular burgers is the Whiskey River BBQ burger. It's pretty darn delish. BBQ sauce, onion straws, LTM, sooo good.

Whiskey River® BBQ Burger
Don’t be afraid to get a little saucy. Basted with our signature Whiskey River® BBQ Sauce and lassoed together with Cheddar cheese, crispy onion straws, lettuce, fresh tomatoes & mayo.
$8.99
But it's $9 for one (not so little) burger! I found a fun, cheap (and nearly free) trick.

Their gourmet cheeseburger is just $5 at participating locations. It's just as big as the other burgers!
I simply ask them to add crispy onion straws (free), ask for a side of BBQ sauce (free), mix it with ranch to make it creamy like their Whisky River sauce (free) and there you have it! It's basically the same burger for nearly 1/2 the cost.

Bam, baby.

Happy savings to you :)
